    Wine Spectator &bull Feb 8, 2012

    It's the No. 3 white wine in the United States, more popular than Riesling or Sauvignon Blanc. It's Moscato. About 3.6 percent of the wine sold in the U.S. last year was Moscato, according to Nielsen data for off-premise retail sales, making it the fastest-growing style of wine stateside: up 73 percent in both volume and revenue from 2010.

  6. Tales from the road

    Steve Heimoff's Wine Blog &bull Feb 8, 2012

    This is an unalterable truth for the itinerant wine critic. You play the cards you're dealt, and don't complain. In this case, I'm in Pasco, Washington, at the annual meeting of the Washington Association of Wine Grape Growers, staying at a chain hotel on a strip that could be anywhere in America. There's nowhere within walking distance to eat or… Full Story »


  7. A Magical Finger Lakes Red, and Why it's Gone Too Soon

    LENNDEVOURS &bull Feb 7, 2012

    It had been two years since I last tasted the Damiani Wine Cellars 2007 Cabernet Franc, and I was down to my last bottle. On release, it was an impressive wine with depth, if a tad besmirched by oak. I liked it enough to buy three bottles. Sometimes we talk about transformation that can occur in a complex wine, but… Full Story »

  11. And the sum is even greater than the parts

    Napa Valley Register - Dan Berger &bull Feb 3, 2012

    The name Tierce may not mean much to average wine consumers or even dedicated wine lovers. But the wine is special, a terrific achievement, and may always be a wine geek's secret. For one thing, it is a dry 2009 riesling (two strikes right there).… Full Story »

In the Finger Lakes, Ravines Wine Cellars has been producing some of the strongest rieslings for the past decade.

  16. Burgundy 2010s - some useful addresses (Free for all)

    Jancis Robinson &bull Jan 28, 2012

    See our tasting notes on more than 1,900 burgundy 2010s via this complete guide to our coverage of the vintage. The minutely parcellated and carefully groomed vineyards on the east-facing slope known in France as the Cote d'Or, the pale stone of the medieval buildings and, most of all, the often haunting and geographically precise quality of the wines made there cast such a spell that Burgundy attracts more than its fair share of ambitious wannabe winemakers. During the three weeks I recently devoted to tasting the 2010 burgundies, I kept coming across producers that were new to me -… Full Story »

  19. The Finger Lakes 2011 Red Wines of the Year Finalists: Explaining the Diverse Selections

    LENNDEVOURS &bull Jan 25, 2012

    I'm happy to see that the NYCR selections for Finger Lakes red wines of the year have generated a fair amount of feedback and debate. There have been many questions: Why no cabernet franc? How come every wine is made from a different grape? Keep in mind that for a wine to be eligible, it has to have been released in 2011. Many of the red wines released in 2011 came from the uneven 2009 vintage. The glorious 2009 September produced strong conditions for Finger Lakes pinot noir, but otherwise, it was a down vintage for reds. Some… Full Story »
