Just catching up with this story…last fall, Rogue Ales in Oregon announced they had sourced a new yeast strain from an unusual place–the brewmaster's beard! Given the huge correlation between the hirsute and the hipsters, beard yeast could be the yeast El Dorado for "natural" wines. I guess the only question would be if it The post Yeas...
It’s Friday morning, day two of the Alexander Valley Cabernet Academy, where I’m moderating a series of panels for about 35 sommeliers, from all over the country, who were invited to the event, which is sponsored by the Alexander Valley Winegrowers. I think AVW’s feeling is that Cabernet Sauvignon is their primary grape and wine,
This is a rerun, people, because it's still so relevant. I know that not everyone in the business had read this – in fact, probably most people haven't. But, everyone I know who pours wine can relate, once they've read the following story. I love W. Blake Gray, of the Gray Market Report. When he The post Charm School Dropouts at Wine Tasting...

In Carmelo, about three hours drive from the bustling city of Montevideo in Uruguay, along the river that divides the country from Argentina, there exists the picturesque hamlet of Narbona, the kind of place with such overwhelming quantities of irony that it causes story-relating fingers like mine to nearly freeze at the keyboard. Where to Grab ...
I’ve long had a soft spot for Alexander Valley, the AVA in Sonoma County that stretches up from Healdsburg to the Mendocino County line, at Cloverdale. I came to know the valley especially well during the year I spent writing my first book, A Wine Journey along the Russian River. I got it into my

This guest article has nothing to do with wine, although in a wider sense with Greek roots. My long term readers know how passionate my wife is about running. She ran the Boston Marathon exactly one month ago. This is her recount. "In 2008 I ran my first ever marathon in Athens out of curiosity
John B. Stetson Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Whisk(e)y Wednesday returns to one of my favorite subjects this week: bourbon. The John B. Stetson Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey got some mixed reviews from our panel. While the score averaged out to an acceptable 72.5, it had scores significantly higher and lower than that. I guess that much should...
Brothers Butch and Jerry Milbrandt planted their first vines in Washington’s Columbia Valley and Wahluke Slope in 1997.

I’m mad as heck and I’m not going to take it anymore! I’ve had it up to here [you can’t see me, but I’m holding my hand up to my forehead] with writers who complain that “wine consumers have little use and perhaps even less tolerance for wine tasting notes.” That is simply a falsehood.
Ah to be young and unencumbered, and to be able to just "do what you want trips"… David Shabelman was working for The Hess Collection, last I knew, and then he just slipped away.

Dry, fizzy, savory wine goes beautifully with nutty, salty, peppery chicken, especially if fried in peanut oil.
In 1789, the price of bread surged in France. And in heads rolled as a result. Another symbol of France–wine–is being threatened with a 1,000% tax increase. Will riots break out across the country? Who is the man with a set of grapes big enough to dare provoke the ire of the French winegrowers and The post Proposed French wine tax baits...
Robert Parker included some tasting notes on Bourbon in the most recent Wine Advocate. Over at the blog Scotch & Ice Cream, the author didn't take too kindly to the fact that Parker put "his loafer-clad foot in our turf and has deigned to tell the masses what bourbon everyone should be drinking." I'll leave The post Parker on bourbon – a...
The shortage of California wine is rippling through the system, causing serious if not quite catastrophic consequences. Winery principles tell me that when their sales forces fan out across the country, buyers are unhappy at the lack of supply and in some cases are personally blaming the winery! I’m sure that distributors as well as
I was at a tasting a few days ago in Porto where the presenter pointed out at the beginning of their talk that they wanted to focus on “value wines”. However, he then continued by saying that, with regret, while that was the goal, he just couldn’t bring himself to do it. He felt that […] Continue Reading →

Rupert Murdoch, vintner? It's true. Unlike fellow billionaire Warren Buffett who has invested on the less glamorous (but more profitable?) distribution side of the wine biz, the media magnate is going for the glitz–near Hollywood, no less.
