Eater Superlatives, New York Wine List Edition : Decanted : Eater NY
ny.eater.com via @bullfrogandbaum &bull Sep 1, 2010However, in the short time that Dalton has been at the helm, the list has already been trimmed of the useless Bordeaux and California weight in favor of wines that are more suited to the cuisine. Look for a renewed focus on Northern Italy, an increase in quirky, off-the-beaten track wines from both in and outside of Italy, and a happy absence of Screaming Eagle.What to drink: Plenty… Full Story »

Size and shape do matter in wine glasses, according to glass maker Maximilian Riedel - Newark food
www.examiner.com via @HVWineFest &bull Aug 29, 2010Maximilian Riedel, CEO of the Riedel Crystal of America, presented a fascinating wine tasting on Thursday night at the Miele Gallery, designed to illustrate the theory that each variety of wine deserves its own glass. The Riedel company makes 250 different glasses, which they contend enormously increases the enjoyment of each specific wine. The Riedel family began making glass in 1756, but not wine glasses. Wine was reserved for royalty and the clergy, Riedel explained. The regular people drank beer. His family began by producing perfume bottles.… Full Story »

2004 Burgundy Red Wine - How Bad is it?
Brooklynguy's Food and Wine Blog &bull Aug 26, 2010
It is commonly said that 2004 is the worst recent vintage for red wine in Burgundy. The weather was not good - lots of rain and a lot of rot. But that in itself is probably not the biggest problem with the 2004's. As Bill Nanson of Burgundy Report first wrote about , ladybugs were all over the vineyards in 2004. I heard that they were released to combat some or other aphid, but I cannot substantiate that claim. In any case, when ladybugs are trying to attract a mate or are under duress, they release a chemical of a… Full Story »

Not All Wines Get Better with Age
thesymplelife.com via @theSYMPLELIFE &bull Aug 25, 2010You probably know, or think you know, that fine wine gets better with age. But how do you know that? It is probably not by tasting a large number of fine wines of various vintages. Instead, you're just taking it on trust, often from the kind of wine snobs who will sniff and swirl and spit a wine, but now swallow it, and declare with all the puffed-up authority they can muster that it will be "drinking well from 2017 through 2027."… Full Story »

David Clark Morey Burgundy
Bordov Review &bull Aug 23, 2010
Dwayne Perreault Welcome to Bordoverview Blog, sibling of bordoverview.com. Bordoverview Blog keeps you posted about the wines of Bordeaux, and other interesting wines. There's one wine in my collection that I do not often talk about. I'd rather drink it and I'm afraid it sells out too soon. Last time I mentioned the wine was in the beginning of March, just before the Bordeaux 2009 frenzy broke loose, so it's about time to get back to the Burgundian jewels of David Clark. By the way, over the years I have noticed that writing a blog posting about a certain wine… Full Story »
