Holy spritz! Water delivers flavors
Dr. Vino's Wine Blog &bull Jul 29, 2010
In a NYT story entitled, "To Enhance Flavor, Just Add Water," Harold McGee explains-perhaps counterintuitively-that adding water to (alcoholic) beverages amplifies their flavors and aromas.

The Luxury Wine Story Framework: A Cliffs' Notes Version
Good Grape &bull Jul 25, 2010

If a "story" does not connect then it's merely information, soon to be forgotten like a kids' math lesson over the summertime. However, if a story is memorable, it becomes shareable, like a good joke that can be recalled on command. And, when something is shareable, well, that is the good stuff-that's when a winery has other people doing their marketing for them because customers… Full Story »

My interest in wine is, largely, an individual pursuit. Because of the gulf that can be created by passionate interests that aren't shared in a relationship, there are situations that need occasional massaging. The act of buying wine when you have a basement full of wine is one situation that requires careful explanation. Spending a significant amount of time writing about wine, sometimes in lieu of time spent together, is… Full Story »
