The title reminded me of this 60's classic....back when people could sing and there was a melody! Los Bravos. The Luckerts believe in tradition...but they don't belong to the Franken Wine Authority...they choose their own way...and that is shown by this wine. Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot...not the norm for this area... Weingut Zehnthof Luckert Grand Noir *** Tafelwein 2005 Franken, Germany I suppose...

What will 2010 be like for Italian wine in the US? Like 2009. Only more so. Everyone's been hoping for a big rebound in 2010, but early indications are that the market will not snap back to "normal." Retailers and restaurateurs in New York-New Jersey keep pushing for lower-cost wines; except for holiday gift shopping, the mantra will continue to be "under $20." With the weaker dollar,...

If you watched "30 Rock" last night then you may have seen former Vice President Al Gore make a confusing cameo as an eco-concerned janitor for Rockefeller Center (above.) But if you were dining at Tulio Ristorante inside the Hotel Vintage Park in Seattle the other night, then you would have seen Al Gore live, in person. The veep was in town for a town hall meeting to promote his new book,...

Robert Parker, the world's foremost wine taster, tasted a bunch of bottles from Bordeaux 2005 (a great year for Bordeaux) and couldn't tell which one was which and ranked them differently than he had before . Blind tasting removes preconceptions about wines while maintaining the ability to rate wines in a peer group setting. Wednesday night, Parker upended the order of his published ratings of the...

I was fortunate enough to be able to take part in a Twitter Taste Live wine tasting on Saturday, November 14. I must confess - a few confessions here. A few years ago I spent 10 days in Central California. On our drive down from the San Jose Airport to Avila Beach, Hahn was the first tasting room we stopped at. We new nothing about their wines then, but saw a sign and pulled off Highway 101 and began...

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
