"The touring article, 'Poetic Napa Valley' captured the true spirit and flavor of this valley. I hope it will encourage people from the Birmingham area to visit us."

Roger Asleson, Opus One

"The site must have taken a good bit of work to launch. I especially like the interactive map where you can simply click on a property to get its url-- clever indeed. It's also nice to click and find entire stories waiting to be read. Bravo!"

New Restaurants Section!

The Marriage of Food & Wine

According to the major search engines, such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN "Birmingham Restaurants" are the second most searched key words (Birmingham Wine being the first) directing traffic to BirminghamWine.com. This statistic is not surprising given the restaurant content on the site from Birmingham magazine's "Good Taste" section and the natural marriage of food and wine.

So BirminghamWine.com purchased the domain name www.BirminghamRestaurants.com and is now directing its traffic to Birmingham Wine's new Restaurants section - with expanded sub sections for Reviews, Pairings, Cooking, and new to the site are Restaurant Guide, Wine Lists, Menus, Chef and Winemaker Recipes, and Buzz.

Champagne Wishes

Champagne Wishes Celebrate the most important day of your life with Champagne Gardet.

By Jan Walsh

If life is too short to drink bad wine, your wedding deserves Champagne Gardet. Charles Gardet founded the Gardet Champagne house in 1895. And the family presently owns about 18 acres in the Premier Cru areas of the Champagne region. Each year the Gardet's  select the best of their cuvees to join their reserve wines, which are aged in 100-year old oak vats. This juice is later married to younger wines to produce a harmonious sparkling wine that is cellared and allowed to undergo the second fermentation. After several years, these wines acquire the classic fragrance, maturity, flavors, and finesse - and only then do they bear the name of Champagne Gardet.
