Attack of the Winemaking Reality TV Stars (Wine Spectator)
Wine Spectator &bull Feb 2, 2012
Kendall-Jackson's Rick Tigner goes Undercover, the Bachelor takes Unfiltered on a group date, and a Real Housewife wants our attention. Kendall-Jackson president Rick Tigner was the subject of CBS's Undercover Boss this past Sunday, and the wine world has been giving his emotional performance rave reviews. Predictably, most of his experiences didn't go so well (thankfully, Tigner already has a job). We were impressed by the honest (albeit limited) depiction of some of the less-glamorous aspects… Full Story »

#438 This is what I want from New Zealand - Gladstone Vineyard
The Tasting Note &bull Jan 31, 2012
Christine Kernohan is not your usual winemaker. Firstly, this "sprightly grandmother" worked in the computer industry and was also involved in agriculture industry research. Secondly, instead of setting up in Marlborough and having an easy life making formulaic Sauvignon Blanc, she set up in the less trendy Wairarapa, and finally, she is from a nation that isn't known for its winemaking history, Scotland! Christine and her husband David took over the Gladstone Vineyard in early 1996 and their first vintage was overseen by Belgian winemaker, Jean Charles Van Hove. Christine… Full Story »

White wines from France's Rhone region aren't particularly well known and, at least in this country, don't get all that much respect. You don't see many of them on store shelves or restaurant wine lists, and you don't see many… Full Story »

The New Sancerre
Winedoctor &bull Jan 27, 2012
It is somewhat strange that although it was Sancerre that first drew me to the Loire, these days the wines of this most famous of all Loire vineyards hardly ever pass my lips. I can't recall which domaines I was drinking in those very early days, more than twenty years ago, although I am certain that the wines of the Vacheron family had a place in my cellar; I visited their domaine for the first time in 1992, and carried the bottles back to the UK with me. With the passing of time I came to realise that I found… Full Story »

MONTPELLIER, FRANCE - There are 587 wineries from around the world participating in the 19th Millesime Bio here and there seems to be just as many stories.
