vindulge.typepad.com via @wewuvwine &bull Mar 8, 2010The last couple of years have seen a lot of changes in all areas of the world, but this post highlights how quickly things can change at one winery in Dry Creek, Quivira, and how important it is to take a finer look at perhaps changes in winemaker or owners without judging from past experiences. Here's my story, years ago I spent a lot of time in Sonoma. We would drive all over the place, regularly visiting some while trying to discover new wineries. Quivira was… Full Story »

Low Yields and Surprising Wines
Brooklynguy’s Food and Wine Blog &bull Feb 24, 2010
Changes in climate bring high yields in some years, low yields in others. Most producers keep their yields low enough to give rich and intense wines, but yields that are too low means less wine, and from a financial perspective, that can't be good. The wines are higher priced in… Full Story »

Report from ... The Experts Tasting - February 20, 2010
On the Road with the Grape Guy &bull Feb 23, 2010
One of my favourite things to be called is "an expert", it makes me smile, simply because when it comes to wine, it's hard to be called "an expert" because the wine world is always changing. You can be knowledgeable, you can be up-to-date, you can be in-the-know, but expert, that's hard to be. Calling someone an expert implies they know all - and the one thing for sure about the world of wine, there's no such thing as "knowing it all"; every year, every vintage, Mother Nature pushes the reset button and everything you know can go right out… Full Story »
