Welcome to the newly revamped Dave McIntyre’s WineLine, where you will still find iconoclastic and entertaining news and views on wine and food, but now in a more attractive and readable format.

You’ll still find my articles and my blog, and more photos from the wineries I’ve been lucky enough to visit. And I’ll tell you about some other writers who are on my must-read list.

With today’s exchange rates and the high cost of everything from food to gasoline pinching our wallets, it’s refreshing to know that we don’t have to abandon European wine altogether. While the price we call “bargain” may be creeping upwards, there are still some terrific values from Europe under $20. Get them while you can ....

If you visit Virginia wine country this year, be sure to read my article “Virginia Vines” in the summer issue of Drinks magazine for the latest on touring the wealth of wineries around Charlottesville.

This summer I’ve had the pleasure of making separate trips to Germany and Portugal. Please check out my new “Wine Travels” page and the photo albums linked there, and look for new reports on the blog ....

Cheers!
Dave McIntyre

Life is Too Short to Be Scared of Wine!

"... McIntyre has steadily emerged over the past decade or so as one of the top local wine journalists in the Maryland - D.C. area."
