This was the brainchild of Andrew Hall (oinosnervosa.com) as an adjunct to the big Ohio/Michigan football rivalry, and to encourage people to buy local rather than support the transportation of Nouveau Beaujolais across the big pond. Kinkead Ridge 2007 Cabernet...

The final day of my South African itinerary was a really good one, only partially spoiled by some really awful weather. From lunchtime onwards, it poured with rain in true English fashion. This was pretty annoying, because we had left some time free in the afternoon for some R&R – specifically, we'd planned to go down to Boulders Beach to see... [[ This is a content summary only.

When Miles screamed about not drinking any "#$%@ing Merlot" in the movie Sideways, it started a push toward Pinot Noir and the beginning of California Merlot's fight for its reputation. The battle still continues and Producer/Director Rudolf N. McClain has just released the DVD of his film Merlove. On the cover is a quote from Wine Spectator that says simply: "Take this, Miles."...

Such a simultaneously sad and happy day in my Bryan Adams world. Happy: I just bought the new Bryan Adams album for $5 at WalMart. I’m listening to it right now. Pure gold. “I need to breathe you in, over and over again, like oxygen.” Yeah. That just happened. Sad: $5? Really? Bryan, you’re worth [...]

Depending on your point of view, this is either tragic or funny. It happened back in June, but one of the passersby, Scott Bradley, shot a video which he recently uploaded to YouTube, and sent me a tweet. He apparently shot the video on June 17, 2009 as he was driving cross country from New [...]

Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia. Sangiovese , Shiraz and Pinot noir . 13.5%. Screwcap . Approx $A31. The upside down text on the label has the rather cryptic message in the land of mules there are no rules . What a curious, but thoroughly delicious wine. I started the night trying to dissect and detect the various components. It's a futile exercise, the strands are well hidden and the final...

You probably remember I was searching for a sangria recipe when planning our Housewarming Extravaganza . I found two great recipes in my friend Catherine's Williams-Sonoma Cocktails & Appetizers cookbook, for a White Sangria and this traditional Sangria. The red Sangria is good and a bit easier to prepare than the White Sangria, but honestly I do like the White Sangria best. Most everyone enjoyed...

French wine production and marketing is set for major change this year, but will it amount to any more than old wine in new bottles? A new system of EU wide regulation aims to end the overproduction of wines, and to redirect spending towards making the European wine market more competitive. As part of the plan the EU is hoping to take around 175,000 hectares of uncompetitive vineyards out of the market

French wine growers are protesting against EU plans to permit the blending of white and red grapes to produce rose wines. The proposal has emerged as part of a package of measures from the EU Commission aimed at assisting the European wine industry with an assault on world markets. When the issue was considered by the EU in January, it received the support of the French government who clearly did not
