Good Champagne by Another Name

Champagne is one of those wines that we all adore but think is beyond our pocket. There are many Champagne Houses but it is only the big names that seem to reach the shelves - and at premium prices . . . which is a shame as more often than not the smaller producer makes a better wine. I was not surprised to find that Philippe Secondé's Champagnes were awarded 90 and 91 points by Robert Parker,...

Wine Buzz: Washington state wine tops mag's best-of list

Wine Spectator magazine has released its list of the year's top 100 wines, and for the first time, an offering from Washington ranked No. 1. Call it the pride of the Pacific Northwest: a Columbia Crest 2005 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon besting the also-rans from around the world. That's great news for fans of domestic wines, especially those who contend that Napa doesn't have a lock on premium cabernet...

Booze-blogging?

Stephen Green of VodkaPundit is widely hailed as the inventor of drunk-blogging -- i.e., live-blogging an event while under the influence. I had the opportunity during the 2008 Democratic National Convention to actually watch the master at work , and attest that the man can, as the late poet Ronnie Van Zant once said, "drink enough whiskey to float a battleship around." I've never tried drunk-blogging...

“Our brain has been designed to believe itself, wired so that our prejudices feel like facts, our opinions indistinguishable from the actual sensation. If we think a wine is cheap, it will taste cheap.” - Jonah Lehrer on A blind wine tasting with Robert Parker (where wine experts couldn’t even tell if a wine was white or red, let alone if it was expensive). Perception is everything...

Wine Region: Bordeaux--Pearson's Prices

From Pearson's in Washington DC. In Euros, prices are roughly 2/3 of the US Dollar prices: The 2005 Bordeaux Vintage wine has received such high reviews that demand for the wine continues to rise rapidly. We were fortunately able to get a few cases of some great wines and are able to get them to you at a great price that you will find are one of the best prices anywhere. Acclaimed wine critic, Robert...

New King of Corks?

Ask a traditionalist about wine-and-food pairings, and be prepared for a lecture on the virtues of serving Rioja with rosemary grilled lamb chops or Champagne with oysters. Let the fuddy-duddies harvest these low-hanging grapes. Gary Vaynerchuk has fresher, zanier ideas. In a September episode of his video blog, "Wine Library TV," he raved about how the 2007 Landmark Overlook Chardonnay enhanced...

Wine Future: what will it look like?

I've been back from the Wine Future conference in Rioja for a few days now, and have been hearing from a number of other attendees who agree that it was fascinating in parts, but patchy, with speakers dividing into those who stayed on point and talked about the future (the clue was in the title guys), and those who just talked about themselves, and their own organisations. One of the most interesting...

Diminishing Marginal Utility

I caught a glimpse of my now seemingly Orwellian Telescreen last night "The instrument could be dimmed, but there was no way of shutting it off completely." ...sigh... and noted that 'I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!' was attempting to turn the tables, granting me the role of Big Brother (the producers have failed to note that the concept of celebrity is so loose and ephemeral now, it...

Vertical Tasting of Chateau La Fleur Morange at Amicitia Per Vinum

Last week I had the pleasure of conducting a Vertical Tasting of both Chateau La Fleur Morange and the Second Wine Mathilde for the ‘Amicitia Per Vimum’ wine society at the Wig and Mitre in Lincoln. They had not come across these lovely wines before and having seen the scores and notes from Robert Parker and Jancis Robinson they were really looking forward to the tasting and certainly weren't...

Wine Tasting Tips

Wine tastings are a great way to learn about your palate but they can also be dangerous if you aren't properly prepared. Before you go swirling, sniffing, and sipping, make sure to follow these important tasting tips: Tip #1 - Dark Clothes Aren't Just for Vampires There's no better way to look like a moron than sporting a huge red stain down the front of your shirt. Not only will it make you look like...

Monolith

One more, dear readers, from Saturday: a picture of the PoMo subter Corbu flim-flam Napa compound of the wine which presuming we do not find and auction at Bonhams & Butterfields a case of Falernian possesses the very lowest quality-to-price quotient in all viticulture: Opus One--the wine that makes you beg for Opus Zero. JOE ASCH agrees with Robert Parker about the older vintages of Opus One....

Wine Education as Big Business

In an already crowded field of certifications for wine knowledge, add one more: the recently announced Parker & Zraly Wine Certification courtesy of Robert Parker and Kevin Zraly. While no doubt well intentioned and likely to be filled with good questions (Kevin Zraly is a renowned wine educator) it's hard not to see this as more than yet another revenue stream in the Robert Parker empire. Did...

Ryan Opaz's Speech at Winefuture Conference

Great speech by Ryan Opaz at the Winefuture conference taking place right now in Rioja. I couldn't agree more with everything he says. Here's the link to Catavino: www.catavino.com When Robert Parker first started his newsletter in 1978, no one believed that an amateur outside the wine world could say anything worth listening to about wine. Then 1982 happened in Bordeaux, and Parker won the day. I...

Wine Tasting - Expectations Influence Sense Of Taste

Wine Tasting - Expectations Influence Sense Of Taste - switbd

Wine tastes different to those who are given information on the product before a wine tasting, tests where the test people received information on the wine before and after the tasting have shown. Many a wine grower trembles at the prospect of a visit from Robert Parker, one of the most famous wine critics in the world. His “Parker Points” have a similar impact to the Roman Emperor’s thumb, deciding
