How The California List brings a Grand Cru status to California’s wine estates

Inspired by the 1855 Classification of Bordeaux, The California List, which was launched on Wednesday in London, is a new 51-strong list of seminal Californian wine producers, being formally acknowledged for the first time for their impact on the UK market. Judged by a panel led by Jancis Robinson MW and including Ronan Sayburn MS, the List was launched at a ritzy West End reception, with 32 of the producer’s wines being poured including library stock of Harlan Estate, Opus One and new wave producers such as Radio-Coteau. Peter Dean was our man at the launch who heard from Robinson, Sayburn and others about the rationale behind the concept.

Malu Lambert: Can cork taint be eradicated for ever?

The Funeral for the Cork was held in New York City on 2 October, 2002. A sombrely irreverent affair, four pallbearers wearing suits carried a steel casket through a railway terminal and up to a grand high-ceilinged bar. They placed the casket in front of a stone fireplace, and opened it. The corpse inside was Thierry Bouchon, a figure made from corks. The name, a play on the French word for corkscrew. The funeral was organised by chief pallbearer and confirmed iconoclast Randall Graham, founder and winemaker of Bonny Doon Vineyard in California.

Tinterra: the most exclusive secrets of a luxurious Mexican wine

Wine is a mirror. It reveals the secrets of those who produce it, wear it and drink it. Sometimes it’s a gift, a way to pamper yourself, claim a place in the world. The wine leaves its mark. In it we find notes of identity, a vessel fine with pride, a full body of effort, and a slight enigmatic sweetness.
