    I write a lot about natural wines, which leads to two frequent occurrences: 1. People rib and pigeon-hole from time to time. I take it with good grace, occasionally pointing out that my interests and drinking tastes go beyond funky smelling cloudy swamp-juice. 2. A need to defend the positive

    This story is about the world's most pathetic wine grape. Its history is exaggerated. It was used for a few decades to play one role that is no longer needed, yet still people grow it – though even its proponents don't think it has much virtue. It reminds me of the

    Brothers Vineyard is Rodney Strong's northernmost, and warmest, vineyard in Alexander Valley. The wine of opaque, with a deep, earthy nose. Black currant dominates, with sweet blueberry in the background. It is even darker on the palate, leading with elderberry and blackberry. Some black tar and tobacco add bitter to

    “This has been a dream of mine for two years,” the Israeli consul confided to me a few nights ago. At this point I don’t know what you’re thinking, but it wasn’t a secret military mission we were talking about. It was wine. Of course. This slight-but-compact diplomat, dressed in

    This was our wine pairing for dinner the other night: linguini with seafood, braised greens on the side. Just enough flavor in the dishes to enhance this golden-tan sparkling wine. Over all, this is a light-feeling wine with a frothy mousse. Of course we were impatient and started sipping it

    This is not just an aperitif wine, it’s a dinner wine too. When poured, its light straw gold color didn’t prepare me for the heartiness of this wine. Made with 100% chardonnay, this is a rich and full-bodied sparkler. In the glass I found a fine mousse with a creamy
