  2. What I've Never Seen Before (Wine Spectator)

    Wine Spectator &bull Mar 16, 2010

    One of the pleasures of my current prolonged stay in Argentina is that I'm a newbie. I'm hardly a newbie to wine. I have been writing about it for 32 years, after all.

    The end of September is a great time to walk the vineyard. Most varieties are ripe or nearly so, but most of the fruit is still on the vines. And you get a great chance to see where everything is. We're harvesting our last Grenache Blanc and Syrah this week, and our first Grenache Noir and Roussanne. Mourvedre, Counoise, and Picpoul are still a few weeks off. But the vineyard looks great,… Full Story »
