Wine Wisdom for 2021
About the only promise I can make for 2021 is more wine information. I have really enjoyed learning more about wine, the vines, and the various countries that produce wine. Who is the parent?

Het jaar 2020 nadert zijn einde, maar we hebben het over één jubileum nog niet gehad.

In 1970 oogstte Frits Bosch op wijngaard Slavante zijn druiven, van stokken aangeplant in 1967, én maakte er voor het eerst echt offic

Here then is a selection of wines that almost made it to a pass mark (silver medal standard) in December.

INTERVIEW WITH VÉRONIQUE DAUSSE OF BORDEAUX'S CHÂTEAU PHÉLAN SÉGUR
The Médoc region of Bordeaux, with its fancy châteaux, designer-clad winery owners and wines with triple and quadruple-digit price tags has, understandingly, a reputation as an intimidating place. But, while the region is defined by traditions that stretch back over 20 centuries, the wine producers of the Médoc, by and lar

WHAT DO WE MEAN BY THE “BODY” OF A WINE
It is routine in tasting notes and discussions about wine to refer to a wine’s body. But what exactly do we mean by that? Of course “body” refers to the wine’s mouthfeel and thus is an evaluation of tactile sensations in the mouth. But what, specifically, are the elements of body.

I’ve been using the Coravin system profusely for a few years now.

I’ve written about the various uses at g

In the range of red wine varieties, cabernet franc has long been an insider’s wine.
