My first true Winecast in 5 years to celebrate the 10th anniversary of this podcast and wine blog. The post Winecast 77 – Champagne appeared first on Winecast.
I recently began rereading George Saintsbury's classic, "Notes on a Cellar-Book." The 1920 volume was one of my first wine books read back in the early 1980's that I had not thought much about since. With time – and much more context and experience with wine – I am finding the book a fascinating window […] The post "Hock, Moselle ...
I have written and podcasted many times over the years about my love of California Zinfandel and Zin-lead field blends. The tradition of the field blend was brought to California by Italian immigrants over 100 years ago and some of the most individual expressions of this tradition are still bearing fruit in Sonoma's Dry Creek […] The post Cam...
Back when I first started podcasting about wine, in late 2004, there were maybe 40 podcasts in the world. But there were even fewer wine blogs and soon I discovered the monthly tasting event called Wine Blogging Wednesday joining on its eighth outing back in early 2005. Over the years I have participated in WBW […] The post WBW80: Dry Ros&eac...
Back in the the first year of wine blogging (2004 for those just joining us) Lenn Thompson of LENNDEVOURS (now New York Cork Report) made a modest proposal and Wine Blogging Wednesday (WBW) was born. I joined the monthly virtual tasting back at WBW 7 in early 2005 and have continued off and on over […] The post Announcing Wine Blogging Wednes...
The results here are not that surprising to me given the venue. At a state fair the conditions are far from ideal and the judges have to taste too many wines in a short period of time. I have always believed a wine should be tasted over a period of time (1-2 days minimum) and […]

As is often the case, Steve Heimoff has posted a "think piece" on his blog today. And judging by the relatively few comments at the time I write this most readers are just doing that; thinking. His post is on authenticity in wine and how difficult and subjective it is to define. In the end, […] The post What Makes A Wine "Authentic"? appeared...

Almost all of us don't treat blogging as a business. And those few who do find building a community around a wine blog very, very difficult. Without hundreds of thousands of pageviews a month, advertising on blogs of any topic is not a viable business.

Not too long ago I drank quite a bit of Australian wine, particularly Shiraz.

A-List wine critics are the celebrities of the wine geek but we don't get a chance to learn much about them.

When I first got started on Twitter I had high hopes of posting frequent reviews there but it never really worked out. It was partially due to the 140 character limit but the transient nature of the medium ultimately kept me only reviewing wines there as part of an organized Twitter live tasting.

There was a news item last week that got me started on a long-ish post about who really determines wine styles; critics, winemakers or consumers. Long post short, I think ultimately consumers determine wine styles but it takes a bit of time for the industry to respond. That's what makes this Decanter story so interesting.
