This is a pretty prestigious list, recognizing some of the most historically important vineyards in the US. We are glad to see that VinePair got it right and included Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery on this list!

When thinking of the great vineyards of the world, it’s tempting to focus on France. Vineyard sites from Burgundy, Champagne, and beyond are meticulously classified in “cru” systems, the official designations that show the hierarchy of the plot directly on the label. But just because the U.S. ...

Madeline Puckett 's Wine Folly
10 Commandments of Wine
Can we get an AMEN!?
------
1. Honor Thy Wine
Appreciate where your wine is from, and in doing so, you appreciate your taste buds.

2. Expand Thy Palate
Try a new and different wine variety, style, region, or country every couple of weeks. Your effort to try new things will make your life richer and expand your perspective. There are so many different types of wine to try, so why stop now?

3. Respect Your Limits
If you don’t, you’ll regret it.

4. Not All Wines Are Created Equal
A great wine is not expensive, but it’s also not cheap.

5. Share Thy Wine
Wine always tastes smoother in good company.

6. Respect Thy Neighbor’s Taste
Everyone’s taste is unique due to heritage, preference, and personal experience. Also, our sense of taste changes slowly over time, so those who say they hate a wine might end up eating their words.

7. Wine Deepens Experience and Experience Deepens Wine
The best memories are often paired with a great glass of wine.

8. Ye Shall Drink a Glass of Water With Every Glass of Wine
Drink water and taste wine. After all, each sip contains a single grape that took a year to grow.

9. Enjoy Young Wines, Savor Middle-Aged Wines, and Honor Very Old Wines
Old wine is a time capsule from the past.

10. Wine Never Stops Changing
From the moment a wine is made, it starts to evolve. It changes slowly when it’s properly cared for and quickly ages when it’s opened.
