    French vineyards are growing grapes with minimal chemicals — and making better wines (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Burgundy is in many ways the birthplace of fine wine. Not only is it the native region for both chardonnay and pinot noir, but Burgundy also was the first place where winemaking practices were systematically organized in Medieval times around quality, not quantity. Today, Burgundy is still viewed as the world’s most ambitious wine region, which helps explain why more and more of its small producers — including this one — are embracing an “organic lite” approach to grape growing. The ca

    Australian wine gets a bad rap, but it’s not all Yellow Tail (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    It’s a shame that fine independent wines from Australia have been so hard to find in recent years. The sole upside is that when one does find a bottle from a genuine independent, small-scale vintner like this one, the price tends to be more than fair for the quality of wine inside the bottle, making it tempting to stock up. Sadly, the devaluation of Australian wines in the eyes of American buyers is largely driven by the runaway success of one single bargain brand: Yellow Tail makes gluggable,

    Decoding the most misunderstood of Spain’s fine wines (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Sherry is the most misunderstood of all Spain’s fine wines, and those in the “fino” category are the most baffling of all for newcomers. These quirky fortified white wines are very strong, very dry, and taste decidedly strange to newcomers on first sip — as if someone had added a splash of some kind of natural cleanser to a dirty martini. There’s a good reason to look past the initial shock to the senses: Fino sherries partner so well with tapas and other salty snacks, they’re well w

    Unoaked chardonnay is overtaking its buttery, barrel-aged counterpart (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In California, oaked chardonnay was once the norm, with its faint accents of butterscotch. Nowadays, the unoaked style has come into its own, and this seems likely to continue. Almost all of the world’s white wines are unoaked, and the current fashion favors refreshment over richness, so it’s no surprise that even chardonnay specialists known for an oakier style might want to broaden their portfolio. Kendall-Jackson is not just known for its chardonnay — the brand has helped to define Cali

    Labor Day weekend is the perfect time to break out the boxed wine (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Bottled wine has its upsides, but sometimes it’s impractical. Heading into the holiday weekend, many people have plans to celebrate outdoors, at the beach, on boats, or poolside — where glass is prohibited or discouraged. And bottles can be too heavy and bulky for ease of use in campgrounds or for picnics in the park. This is where the advantages of a 3-liter bag-in-box wine shine, as with this vibrant California cabernet sauvignon. The 3-liter size hits the sweet spot for bargain seekers, s
