Wine, etc.: Le Vigne Winery in Paso Robles exemplifies region’s evolution | COMMENTARY (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Managing 20 grape varietals planted over 114 acres sounds like a nightmare to us, but to Ben Mayo it’s unadulterated fun. “It’s why I’m in this job,” the winemaker for Paso Robles’ Le Vigne Winery said. “It keeps me on my feet.” Mayo’s palette of grapes includes the region’s favorites — Rhone varietals and cabernet sauvignon — but also Italian varietals such as sangiovese, barbera and nebbiolo. These are grapes that are gaining appeal not just with winemakers but also consumers. Mayo and Le Vign

When we caught up with Angelina Mondavi, she was in the middle of crushing chardonnay grapes from the 2026 vintage, apologizing for interruptions that were, frankly, far more important than talking to a wine writer. It’s hard to reconcile that person with the mischievous child who, three decades earlier, drove her elders to distraction by climbing aboard a forklift and turning the key. Mondavi said she thought at the time it was “totally normal” for kids like her to grow up in a vineyard and hav
Wine, etc.: Producers who deliver consistently good wine for a reasonable price | COMMENTARY (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We’ve tasted some very expensive wines we truly love, even if they are beyond our means. Splurging on wine is easy if you have the bucks; discovering a low-budget gem is magic if you don’t. Like most consumers, we are in constant pursuit of a wine that over-delivers on what’s called a high quality-price ratio. Think Bogle’s Petite Sirah, J. Lohr’s Seven Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon, Wente’s Morning Fog Chardonnay and Columbia Crest’s Grand Estates Merlot. How is it that these producers can deliver a
Wine, etc.: How would a 1969 cabernet sauvignon stand up to today’s wines? | COMMENTARY (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We didn’t have much hope for the 1969 cabernet sauvignon. Not because the producer was an amateur, but because every wine we’d tasted from that era had been tired. Yes, they’d survived — but survival was about all we could say for them. This wine, however, was another matter. A 1969 Robert Mondavi cabernet sauvignon, still alive and still kicking, elegant in a way that felt almost Burgundian, laced with dried red fruit. The tannins had long since softened away, but the acidity and structure rema
Wine, etc.: Offerings for Labor Day crowd can be simple, inexpensive | COMMENTARY (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As we head into the Labor Day weekend, it’s hard not to think about food and wine. Some holidays are built for the grill, for tables set under the sky, for the easy company of those you love. Memorial Day might open the season, but Labor Day doesn’t have to close it. Let’s ignore that idea. Keep the coals glowing and open a bottle of wine. The long weekend also kicks off football season, where the television becomes as essential as a cold drink in hand. We lean into appetizers — snacks made for
