January 2016 Wine Product Roundup (A Bit Late?)

 Mark As Read    

Ok, so I am a weeeeeee bit late on the wine product round-up for January 2016 (I blame travel, and drinking, both of which constitute "work" in my bizarre-but-fantastic life). This month, I've got only one product to feature; a small one, with a relatively big price, and even bigger aspirations: Vagnbys Wine Decantiere ($44). […] Grab The 1W...

Yeah, I Am Gonna Eat That (Dispatch From Sicily With Zonin 1821?s Gastronomy Experience)

 Mark As Read    

Last year, I did a sort of double-dip on the Italian wine community. I traveled on a media tour to Asti in the north (to eat fried cow brain and other fantastically odd delicacies, while getting immersed in all things Ruchè). And, since I was in Italy anyway, I was taken on another media tour […] Grab The 1WineDude.com Tasting Guide and star...

Why Is It Always Someone Else?s Fault? (Thoughts On Slipping Wine Sales)

Furmint Adventures Episode 13: Holdvölgy Winery

 Mark As Read    

We've got a brand new episode in my ongoing Furmint Adventures series, this time exploring the modern-take-on-tradition that is Holdvölgy Winery. That modern take on well-proven styles isn't just part of the winemaking; it's literally built into the winery operation itself, as you'll clearly see from the video that the FurmintUSA folks have expertl...

Wine Blogging Is Dead! Again! Long Live Wine Blogging!

Face The Faces Of Ruche (At Palate Press)

 Mark As Read    

Just in case you're not quite totally sick of me yet, my latest feature for Palate Press was recently published, with the focus (words and photos) on the unsung red grape variety of Piedmont: Ruchè (I traveled the area last year as a media guest).

Last week, my latest for Fix.com was published, entitled Wines at Chilly Extremes.

Here we go again! It's time for the 2015 edition of the Most Interesting Wines of the Year.

Normally for these year-in-review recaps, I start by going into some details about my life over the last twelve months. F*ck that sh*t this time. I'm focused full steam ahead on the future, baby.

Millennials Aren?t Changing Wine ? Access To Information Is

In theory, it ought to be easy to hate on the Champagne house Bollinger.
