French vineyards are growing grapes with minimal chemicals â and making better wines (opens the original)
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 worldâs most ambitious wine region, which helps explain why more and more of its small producers â including this one â are embracing an âorganic liteâ approach to grape growing. The ca
Australian wine gets a bad rap, but itâs not all Yellow Tail (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Itâs 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 Spainâs fine wines (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sherry is the most misunderstood of all Spainâs fine wines, and those in the âfinoâ category are the most baffling of all for newcomers.

Thereâs a good reason to look past the initial shock to the senses: Fino sherries partner so well with tapas and other salty snacks, theyâre well w
Unoaked chardonnay is overtaking its buttery, barrel-aged counterpart (opens the original)
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 worldâs white wines are unoaked, and the current fashion favors refreshment over richness, so itâs 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 â the brand has helped to define Cali
Labor Day weekend is the perfect time to break out the boxed wine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bottled wine has its upsides, but sometimes itâs impractical. Heading into the holiday weekend, many people have plans to celebrate outdoors, at the beach, on boats, or poolside â 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
