I just wrote some tasting notes for two fantastic wines I bought at the wine store about a week ago, to do a little comparison. You can...

Climate change has made a large racket in the wine world the past couple of years. Some vintners such as Dom. Dujac in Burgundy are even attempting a carbon neutral operation through the use of new winemaking techniques and upgrades in the winery. Tax breaks, and subsidies under the authority of many governments reward producers generously for taking such initiatives.

Here’s something I don’t get - recurring case orders. It’s astonishing how many people in the area I live do this, especially when the snowbirds come back into town. Instantly on October first it seems like Total Wine is full of people over the age of sixty-five with cases upon cases of the same generic wines.
