Top 100 wines of Chile 2019

With nine wines in our global list of Top 100 Wines of 2019 (three times as many as it had in our 2018 list), Chile was represented more times than Germany, New Zealand, Spain and Portugal. Only Italy, France and the USA had more wines in the list, and it was level with Australia. If you needed proof of how much progress is being made by the top wineries in the country, surely that is it.

Sonoma’s refreshing diversity: 450+ wines tasted

To say this part of the Californian wine landscape is a complex one is an understatement. The possibilities for wine production run so many styles, from cool-climate sparkling on the coast to stylishly rich Bordeaux-style reds in warmer pockets and everything in between.

Tasting Vitality: An Introduction

or the past two years, I’ve been working intermittently on developing a new wine tasting model to be included in the book I’m writing on the philosophy of wine. I’ve finally gotten around to working it up into something publishable at least on a blog. So I will be devoting some posts to it over the next several weeks.

2 Grades of Winegrapes From One Vineyard? Here’s How

or Chateau Ste. Michelle, one of the largest wine producers in the U.S., the payoff is a $10 premium on reserve-quality wines from a portion of its vineyards while the balance of the yield goes to good quality basic wines — all harvested at the same time. Which of course also brings additional efficiencies at harvest time.
How do they do it?

South African Wine Pioneer Chris Mullineux and the greatness of Old Vine Swartland Chenin Blanc

South African Wine Pioneer Chris Mullineux and the greatness of Old Vine Swartland Chenin Blanc

Called "Het Zwarte Land" in Afrikaans (the Black Land) because of the dominant indigenous Renosterbos plant which takes on a dark appearance when viewed from the distance. Swartland is located 30 miles north of Cape Town in South Africa. First colonized in 1685 by French Huguenot refugees, it was traditionally known as a mixed crop farming region with a focus on cereal crops. Until recently it was largely forgotten as a winemaking region as Stellenbosch became the hub of South African wine.

SA wine history: A contemporary account of Cape wine in the early 1700s

Just over three centuries ago, in 1719, the German astronomer and surveyor Peter Kolbe published his comprehensive Caput Bonae Spei Hodiernum, a detailed account of day-to-day life at the Cape where he had lived between 1705 and 1713. Largely – and sympathetically – devoted to a study of the Khoikhoi (‘Their Religion, Government, Laws, Customs, Ceremonies, and Opinions; Their Art of War, Professions, Language, Genius, etc’), it also described the topography, climate, flora and fauna of the Cape, and included ‘a Short Account of the Dutch Settlement’.

Early last year I was commissioned by the KWV to research the history of Roodeberg ahead of the once-iconic brand’s 70th birthday. It was a fun project but also a fairly frustrating one because nobody at KWV headquarters in Paarl seemed able to find any of the old records.

Pop quiz - So you think you know Lodi wine?

So you think you know Lodi? Here is a chance to test yourself on what we consider the most basic things to know about Lodi wines and Lodi wine country. If you can answer most of these questions straight-away, then yes, you are truly a Lodi wine geek, you lovable weirdo you.

But we're warning you: We're not making it easy, and many of the questions are technical in nature, or else reflect something of a Lodi "insider's" knowledge. The answers, of course, are at the very end. And once you know all, you can indeed consider yourself a Lodi wine "master."

A refreshing outlook and new ideas: an evening with Ernst Loosen

There are few more colourful, vivacious and spirited individuals than Ernst Loosen. Those who have spent any amount of time with him will know well the personality of which I speak. Since the 1980’s he has produced world-class Riesling from the Mosel to Washington State, experimented with Pinot Noir in Oregon and shared his knowledge as far afield as New Zealand. Ernie is an innovator, he pushes boundaries, but most of all he rejects defeatism. It is with an open mind and curious inquisition that Ernst, and his wines, have continued to evolve despite a host of existential challenges. I spent an evening exploring this refreshing outlook …

How South African wineland workers used global networks to fight for their rights

Echoes of apartheid-style exploitation of workers have resurfaced in recent years in South Africa. Debates around these malpractices were given fresh impetus four years ago with the release of a documentary, Bitter Grapes. Produced by Danish journalist Tom Heinemann, it featured workers from South Africa’s winelands.
