Will Coulanges-la-Vineuse, one of Burgundy’s lesser-known appellations, be getting a designation upgrade in the same way that Pouilly-Fuissé has in the south?

Phylloxera – the pest with no cure
There are plenty of parallels between Phylloxera and the current COVID-19 pandemic.
Both were global epidemics that threatened millions of people’s livelihoods, both involved enormous resources expended to find a cure or vaccine, both would take years to find a satisfactory way to cope with their effects, and both are likely to have no cure: they are bligh

Waarom heeft de wijnmaker de naam Antinori niet op de etiketten meegenomen? Schaamt hij zich voor dit product? Die Villa moet je ook eens proberen! Veel cabernet.

Dan iets wat ons altijd bezighoudt. Bij Appie staat in het rek een aanbieding van rode wijn. Lastig te vinden omdat de naam van de familie Antinori niet op het etiket staat. Vraag mij niet waarom. Het is een IGT en goed binnen te houden. Weinig tannientjes dus met een jaar of twee drie moet d
