Welcome to the September/October 2008 Edition...


    I am Charles Moncrieff, the creator of the Vegas Wine News website.  On behalf of Vegas Wine News, I want to welcome you to the website that provides a regular newsletter focusing on wine related subjects pertaining to the Las Vegas area, and occasional travel information pertaining to wine related destinations around the world.  Vegas Wine News is a bi-monthly editorial published on-line.  Each edition includes reviews of restaurants from a wine lover’s perspective, retailers in the area marketing wine, a calendar of wine related events in our area (see Wine Happenings), a featured winery and person, plus the aforementioned travel article.  Additionally, in 2008 the wine blog will expand, as well as the wine related items for sale. 

        Use the Contents section to read a summary of this edition’s information.  You may navigate to any page of interest by using the links at the top of each page, or simply turning to the next article at the end of each page.  You may also reference any previous issues by using the “links” page.  Travel articles of interest in those issues included a two part article about Piedmont, Italy, in the June and July 2007 issues, southern Nevada’s only winery in the August 2007 edition, and the Finger Lakes wine  region of New York in the September 2007 issue.  The  October and November/December issues had information regarding a driving trip to California’s Sonoma wine country. while the March/April 2008 edition included information about a trip to the wine country of Chile and its capital, Santiago.  The May/June issue discussed the wine bars of Paris and some facts and photographs relating to a stay in that amazing city.  In the last edition, we took a trip to the wine region of Navarra, with its beautiful rural landscapes in the  Basque area of Spain.  And in this edition, we travel to the Campania wine region of Italy.  I  sincerely hope you enjoy this edition, and always appreciate any feedback regarding the site...
