    One Woman’s Quest to Rebuild Bosnia’s Economy Through Wine

    Kathleen Willcox
    Features
    9 min read
    Is it naïve to think one person can use wine to change a nation’s fate? Perhaps, but that is just what economist-turned-importer Indira Bayer has set out to do. The country called Bosnia and Herzogvina has a small, 12-mile strip of craggy coast on the Adriatic sea, a mountainous center

    Delightful Winter Drinking but Decant First: 2016 Bertani Valpolicella Ripasso DOC

    Becky Sue Epstein
    Wine Reviews
    1 min read
    This 2016 from Bertani is focused and lively. Just-pressed Amarone grapes enhance the flavors of Valpolicella Ripasso wines with their rich, ripe, concentrated fruit. Clear notes of red and dark red fruit appear in the aromas and on the palate, and the fruit intensifies as the wine opens. Softened tannins

    In case you haven’t had Pineau des Charentes before, it is traditionally served lightly chilled, as an aperitif, in casual settings in the Cognac region of France. This delightful Pineau is aged for a full 5 years in barrel, which has made it softer and richer on the palate. It

    In the pantheon of sparkling wine producing areas Trentodoc may not be on your radar. However, it is likely only a matter of time before it is as much a household name as Prosecco. In the clear air of the snowy Dolomite mountains, Italian winemakers are ramping up their production

    The opposite of Bordeaux in Napa: 2016 Kenefick Ranch Caitlin’s Select Cabernet Franc

    Becky Sue Epstein
    Wine Reviews
    1 min read
    Back in Bordeaux, cabernet franc is considered a blending grape, with small amounts traditionally added to wines made primarily from cabernet sauvignon and/or merlot. But this Kenefick Ranch wine is the opposite: it is made mainly from cabernet franc with small percentages of other grapes blended in. And the wine
