Yesterday. I joined in a tasting session with two MW students who were doing a test practical paper. I’ve never done a tasting like this before, and to be honest, sitting down with 12 wines (all red in this case) and an accompanying set of questions is incredibly daunting, even for someone who tastes all the time. What I lack is any training in the way to approach this sort of structured blind ta

The vast area that I’ve chosen to loosely define as Mediterranean Spain encompasses those regions that extend from northeastern Catalonia (Catalunya or Cataluña, as the area is known locally) to the country’s southeast corner and all the way west to Andalusia (Andalucía) on the far southwestern coast. With rare exception, these zones have been experiencing a run of almost uniformly very good to e

In the ideal world, any wine you order by-the-glass should be in the condition that the winemaker intended it to be.

Hands up, label drinkers… I don’t see many hands. Decanter readers, of course, know better than that. We’re sniffing out value, surprise, intrigue. There we are, at the end of the tasting, still scribbling notes on that Bulgarian Aligoté, trying to find the key words to help us distinguish Sauvignon Vert from Sauvignon Blanc, scanning auction catalogues for consignments of ancient Colares.

It's one thing to try and engage people with wine, says Robert Joseph. But it's quite another to think that everybody has an inner wine lover who just needs to be liberated.

Can we stop using the terms Old World and New World already? Wouldn’t it be more accurate to simply say Europe and elsewhere? (Though, admittedly, the Middle East and North Africa may take issue with that.) Many of the stylistic lines that separate the two designations have blurred, and even the use of the word old is suspect. Yes, of course Europe’s tradition of wine production is more establish

For several centuries, Alsatian Pinot Gris wines carried the name Tokay d’Alsace. Legend has it that during the Middles Ages, the grape variety was introduced to the region by Hungarian merchants who come across it in Burgundy (a mutation of Pinot Noir, in its native region, it goes by the name “Pinot Beurot”).

On May Day, we present a photo-report on a particular hazard of springtime.
I'm just back from what I sincerely hope is not a pre-Brexit tour of Europe: Languedoc, Rhône, Burgundy, Baden, Alsace and culminating in a couple of days tasting the super-ripe 2018 German wines at the Mainzer Weinbörse.

Super Tuscans arrived decades ago. It was a category born of frustration with Italy’s traditional wine production rules. Ambitious producers sought to make modern styles and experiment outside the restrictions of the Italian appellation system, known as Denominazione d’Origine Controllata (DOC).

Remember, about 10 years back, when everyone was excited about QR codes? When scanned with a smartphone application, these black and white boxes would bring up a designated URL linking to product information, video clips, or other promotional material. Trouble was, the codes weren’t visually appealing, so putting them on a label could cheapen a brand’s image.

Baseball fans commonly refer to the period of time when numerous high-profile players took performance-enhancing drugs as the “Steroid Era.” In wine, it can be mused that we are now living in the “Additive Era,” in which it is not unusual for wines to be highly manipulated.

Wine connoisseurs can easily discriminate a dry red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, from a fruitier red, like Pinot Noir. Scientists have long linked the "dryness" sensation in wine to tannins, but how these molecules create their characteristic mouthfeel over time is not fully understood. Now, researchers reporting in ACS' Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry have found th

Het is altijd tijd voor een rosé uit de Bandol. Een klein gebied met uitzonderlijk goede rosé. Van wereld klasse. Kost een paar dup maar dan heb je ook wat. Trouwens rood en wit zijn ook niet te versmaden. Rosé uit de Bandol haalt op z'n sloffen met gemak de 10 jaar. Vind je niet in de super. Dat is natuurlijk wel jammer.

De file wordt keurig netjes geladen. Daarna blijft het document hangen op 4,94 MB van de 5,13MB. Toch maar wachten tot de dingen die komen gaan, wachten, wachten... en dan gaat de URL open "Le Guide des Millésimes disponible gratuitement". Daarna openen en opnieuw wachten. Ja het is een flink document. Maar dan is het er. Indrukwekkend. Ziet er geweldig uit.
