2012 Predictions (Wine Spectator)
Wine Spectator &bull Jan 5, 2012
With the advent of 2012 upon us, it's time for Unfiltered's annual attempt to predict the events that we'll all be discussing around the office wine barrel during the next 12 months. But before we dust off our magic Riedel crystal ball, let's look back and see how accurate our 2011 predictions were. A year ago, on the heels of Mariah Carey's Angel Champagne launch, we predicted that sparkly pop singer Ke$ha would loan her name to a pricey $uper Tuscan. Not only did $a$$icaia fail to materialize, Ke$ha seems to have disappeared as well. We did, however,… Full Story »

But she made news recently (as she does every time she appears in public, because, hey, what better do we have to do with our time?) when she showed up at an Italian restaurant for a romantic dinner bearing not only her own bottle of wine, but her own glasses, too.… Full Story »

Pay To Play Wine Reviews...It's All Good
Fermentation &bull Sep 6, 2011
I spent a decent amount of time Labor Day thinking about whether Sam Kim is an unethical wine critic, whether he gives all wine writers a bad name and whether or not his brand of pay-for-review wine criticism ought to have gotten him ostracized from from a Wine Writers association. In the end, I came to the conclusion that Mr. Kim, rather than being the scourge to wine criticism many of his colleagues believe him to be, is instead the man who has shown critics how to make an honest living. Kim came to my attention… Full Story »

Rose of summer
30 Second Wine Advisor &bull Aug 12, 2011
Riedel "O" glasses These Riedel "O" wine glasses are labeled "Syrah/Shiraz," but here's a secret: They'll work just fine for any wine - or even other beverages - in casual settings where a fancy stemmed wine glass just won't do. This is an exceptional value on Amazon.com:$28.99 for four Syrah/Shraz Wine Tumblers, 34% off the $44.26 list price. For a long time, rose wine wasn't particularly welcome around this household. My wife, echoing the late, great British wine writer Harry Waugh, declared that "it is a wine's duty to be red," and I was fairly "meh" about the pink stuff… Full Story »

Orange Coast Magazine - Wine Blog
www.orangecoast.com &bull Jun 7, 2011A big topic of discussion among winos is always stemware. Do fancy glasses really deliver? Are bargain vessels just as good? Lately there has even been talk about clay glasses. And it's very specific if you troll around on Wine Spectator's chat site. Does glazing make a difference? Some say definitely yes, that when you drink from an unglazed clay vessel it softens the tannins in your red wine. I don't own an unglazed clay vessel… Full Story »
