The Art of Winemaking from Château Mouton Rothschild - Haute Living

Art and wine go hand in hand. Not only are both associated with sophistication, there is a level of appreciation that grows as knowledge about each subject is acquired. Sure, any lay person can see the aesthetic beauty of the Mona Lisa, but when one studies the 16th century portrait by Leonardo da Vinci and further comprehends not only the complexity of the brush strokes but the symbolism and history, admiration for the work is greatly enhanced.
The case is similar for a fine wine. Novices can e...

The Soul of Napa Valley - Haute Living

Auction Napa Valley is more than just your typical wine festival. Sure, much like a typical festival, auction-goers get to imbibe their fair share of the fruits of the region and dine on expertly paired cuisine over the course of the weekend, but there are some key differences that set this celebration of wine apart from all others.
First, the setting. While the sands of Miami’s South Beach or the mountains of Colorado, may be pretty savory settings for trying out a montage of wines and...
