Why Pinot Meunier is weird (but wonderful)
Pinot Meunier is an unusual grape variety. Technically, of course, it is not a variety at all. It is a clone of the Pinot grape variety, along with Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc. This family of four ‘varieties’ are the result of some very visual mutations to Pinot Noir, the ancestral variety, and the mutation that has caused Pinot Meunier is perhaps the most curious of all.

The Joys of Serendipity
Bottles of wine don’t usually carry a sell-by date, though supermarket staples may come with advice to drink in the next six to 12 months (in actual fact they’re likely to be drunk in the next six to 12 hours). When it comes to grand Bordeaux, vintage Port and so on, writers such as Robert Parker and Michael Broadbent give a window of anticipated maturity. Treat all such advice with a hefty pinch of salt. No-one has more than a very rough idea how wines will age, and often quite humble and unexpected bottles will turn out to have astonishing ageing potential.

Pinot noir: an endemic or a flexible variety? 01 October 2020 16:53 |

Pinot noir: an endemic or a flexible variety?
Pinot noir has its historical roots in Burgundy and is generally considered as an endemic vine variety which means that its adaptation is very specific to this environment and that its wines are the most expressive in the same particular situations. Now, Pinot noir has become an international variety because growers rely on its exceptional œnological potential and reputation to reproduce something excellent under their own conditions, and also because the general style of the wines is original and dominated by ‘finesse’ which is a new trend on the international wine market. In that context, it is interesting to evaluate the ability Pinot noir has to adapt, either as a vine variety interacting in a first time with the climate which is the entrance door to the terroir,, or as a wine in terms of ‘typicity’ and specific elements revealed by sensory analysis.

Wine grape varieties: where in the world are they?
We have all become aware of the changes that have been occurring within viticulture over the past few years. Grape-growing has a long tradition in many regions, often relatively unchanged over extended periods of time. However, this is now changing rapidly, in response to an obviously altered climate this century. This topic should provide the impetus for a few blog posts.

Will This Be 2020’s Most Expensive Wine?
This December wine lovers will have an extraordinary opportunity to purchase a selection of large format wines from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti’s 1985 vintage—some of the world’s rarest wines from what is considered to be one of the 20th century’s greatest vintages. The collection, auctioned by Geneva-based Baghera/wines auction house, is estimated to garner close to $2.1 million dollars and will feature a total of 24 large-format bottles (12 jeroboams (3 liters) and 12 methuselahs (6 liters). Michael Ganne and Julie Carpentier, founders of Baghera/wines sourced the wines from one of Italy’s most treasured fine dining restaurants—Enoteca Pinchiorri, a three-Michelin-starred restaurant based in Florence.

“Fruit Bombs” are Misnamed" 14 October 2020 17:04 |
Beheerder Registratiedatum: 9 jaren geleden Berichten: 8.971 |
“Fruit Bombs” are Misnamed"
It is common to associate ripeness with warm climates. But there is more nuance to this relationship between heat and ripeness than is commonly assumed. One thing I’ve noticed, when I periodically delve into old world wines, is that while warm regions seem to require alcohol at 14% or above to get their grapes ripe, cooler regions, and some winemakers in California who pick early, get ripe flavors with much less alcohol. (By ripe flavors, I don’t mean raisin notes. I mean rich, clear, focused fruit flavors.)

Do you remember the first time you tried wine? Did you like it?
I remember tasting wine as an older teenager and finding it quite unpleasant. I’m sure it wasn’t great wine: it would have been on holiday, and my dear parents used to drink enthusiastically but cheaply, probably as a way to switch off after a day spent corralling four children who bored easily.

The use of immobilized kefir cells on natural zeolites in winemaking
Nowadays, the multiple technological advantages offered by immobilized cells in fermentations like improved fermentation productivity, cell control and cell stability, application of continuous system configurations, enhancement of cell viability and ability for cell recycling, and improved final product quality have been well documented (Kourkoutas et al., 2004) and the positive effects of immobilization technology in winemaking have been well established. Multiple immobilization supports have been proposed over the past years for use in winemaking. However, the high pressure created on high-capacity bioreactors usually results in destruction of most organic food-grade supports and thus discourage their use by the wine industry.

REFLECTIONS ON OBJECTIVITY AND WINE TASTING (1) 02 December 2020 18:24 |
Beheerder Registratiedatum: 9 jaren geleden Berichten: 8.971 |
REFLECTIONS ON OBJECTIVITY AND WINE TASTING (1)
The debate about whether wine tasting has objective standards too often assumes a mistaken picture of how taste works. The mistaken picture is something like this: Wine has chemical compounds that produce flavors that are fixed features of the wine itself. When tasters report the flavors they detect in the wine, they either get it right or not. If a wine is perceived to have ripe blackberries, fig, and chocolate aromas, either the wine has those properties or it doesn’t.
[foodandwineaesthetics.com]
REFLECTIONS ON OBJECTIVITY AND WINE TASTING (PART 2)
I argued last week that flavors and aromas do not exist in the wine or in the mind but at their intersection. What exists in the wine is the capacity to produce aromas and flavors, but without someone who can taste those flavors, they remain locked up in the wine as potential, not as an actual sensation of flavor. But our individual tasting histories and biologically set thresholds mean that even expert tasters are sensitive to different aspects of a wine. Objectivity is not a matter of being unbiased. No one is unbiased and sensations are always influenced by context. Instead, objectivity is secured by assuming there is always more to a wine than our current experience can sense. Objectivity means being confronted by something we have not yet mastered and being willing to be educated by it.
