    Three stunning structures: Italian wineries to visit

    What do wine critics and wine lovers usually say when are talking about wine? They talk about the vineyards, the climate, the soil, the agronomic practices, the winemaking process, the history of the producer, the label, the wine reviews… Everything but the winery itself. This is because most wineries are

    Drive into the Cakebread Cellars parking lot and it seems fairly normal. Nicer and prettier than most, sure, but otherwise standard. But look a little closer and you discover a cleverly engineered facility designed to up the winery’s water game. The pavers are permeable and rest atop a foot of

    What We’re Drinking – 2014 La Villa Barton Rosé

    With a curvy bottle and a delicate, pale-salmon tinted color, this is not a naive rosé: it is French, after all. The aromas are hearty stone fruit with a hint of tangerine. Stone fruit continues onto the palate which is balanced by light acidity and minerality. A biggish mouthfeel continuing

    Roditis: Crisp and food-friendly with a touch of uncertainty

    Roditis is a mystery. Roditis is nobody's favorite wine grape. Roditis is the kind of wine you drink after your palate is tired of more impressive stuff. Roditis wins no wine ratings or competitions, but it consistently wins the empty-bottle test. Roditis vines are like white people: there's a lot

    What We’re Drinking – 2012 Copper Mountain Pinot Noir

    Intensely fruity with undertones of fresh earth. Dark cherries, loam, and a touch of vanilla are on the nose. Tart red fruits dominate the palate, led by cranberry, with wild strawberries and sour cherry. Hints of freshly-turned earth show around the edges. Tartness lingers on the finish. Tannins are rustic

    Intense is the first word that comes to mind when encountering this wine. The aroma is concentrated strawberry fruit, which continues in the flavors of the wine, surrounded by a nice thin circlet of vanilla on the palate and in the finish. The style of fruit is very New World,

      The 500 or so alumni from past Digital Wine Communications Conferences (this year will be the 8th edition) indulge in a torturing game every year. During the winter months, social media channels hum with activity as everyone starts playing “guess this year's location”. DWCC has always been adventurous, taking

    A thoroughly enjoyable wine for any day of the week. A notable dark red, cooked fruit flavor, with integrated mild tannins and lively acidity give it just enough granularity and presence and a touch of fennel, too. Pour it liberally alongside simple meat dishes or traditional pasta with marinara sauce. Highly
