  2. And the sum is even greater than the parts

    Napa Valley Register - Dan Berger &bull Yesterday

    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 »

    LENNDEVOURS &bull Jan 31, 2012

    Two producers do not make a trend, but in any region there are trend-setters and trailblazers. In the Finger Lakes, Ravines Wine Cellars has been producing some of the strongest rieslings for the past decade. And newcomer Forge Cellars comes with the high expectations attached to the wines of Louis Barruol, a renowned… Full Story »

  6. Moscato di Nasty?

    Dr Vino's wine blog &bull Jan 30, 2012

    Many of us wine writers praise the trend to lower-alcohol wines. But there's one low alcohol wine that has taken off yet generated little coverage: Moscato. Sales of the $6 sweet, fizzy white that ranges between 5 - 9 percent… Full Story »

  7. 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 »

  10. 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 »

  13. Billsboro Winery 2010 Dry Riesling

    LENNDEVOURS &bull Jan 24, 2012

    My Finger Lakes-focused colleague Evan Dawson and I sometimes lament what sometimes happens to Finger Lakes riesling when it's fermented dry. Depending on the fruit and the winemaker, the wines can become shrill, hollow and overly austere. Casually, we refer… Full Story »


  14. Book Review: Wine Wars by Mike Veseth

    Vinography: a wine blog &bull Jan 21, 2012

    A big part of wine's allure is that it is so many different things: a source of alcohol, a source of pleasure, a gateway for entry into the mystical, the erotic, the enlightened, the divine, the silly, and sometimes the idiotic. But for thousands of years, it has also been a commodity--and that's where this book comes in. Worrying about wine as a commodity seems uninspiring, even tawdry, compared, say, to worrying about the distinctive… Full Story »

    On the Road with the Grape Guy &bull Jan 20, 2012

    As a wine writer and wine lover, I attend a variety of events and get to try a number of wines from all over the world. Here I review the wine related events I attended and the things that thrilled me about them. While I was out hob-nobbing with the wineries, winemakers and pairings of Niagara-on-the-Lake for the Taste the Season event back in November, the folks in the 20 Valley were putting on their own food and wine extravaganza ... Each November, there are two passport events in Niagara - "Taste the Season" in Niagara-on-the-Lake and "Wrapped up in… Full Story »

    Woot Wine! &bull Jan 20, 2012

    Literal Interpretations Otter Cove? I don't see any otters! Hey, I just finished up the winery tour, and I was going to fill out a comment card, but I thought, this is too complicated for writing; I should really talk this out with someone. Is that okay? Can we do that? "Um, yeah. Sure. I don't see why not." Well, first of all, let me just say I'm a big fan of everything… Full Story »
