Perspective on Italy
Later this year, we’re going to travel from north to south and wander from east to west to taste some authentic flavours of Italy. And it will happen in your glass. Tuscan holidays and Chianti are part of the travel agents’ repertoire. But what about Piedmont, home of Barolo and Asti or Alba, where you’ll [...]

The difference between luxury and plonque
In a few years, blended wine has gone from deluxe to disdain. The most highly priced reds in the world are blends. These five blends were classified long ago as the cream of Bordeaux. They bring fairy-tale prices. The cheapest red wines in the world are also blends. In between them (the great unwashed) there are [...]

Pinot noir: the oddball grape variety
In Burgundy, it owns the shop. Champagne has one secret weapon, the red Pinot. But wherever you go it is the standard wine choice of only the non-conformist. As far as Pinot noir growers go, this grape is their passion. This picture and the subject belong to Kate Bacigalupi of Russian River, Calif. and the whole [...]

Marriage of man and vine
Nico Vermeulen and Shiraz have a long-term love affair. Vines are living creatures. A variety of vines is just one vine – extended by ever more thousands of cuttings into not just one block, but every block of that cultivar on earth.

Inside each one of these blue-red-purple Shiraz skins lies a heart of colourless (clear) juice. Getting it out and making the world’s most different white wine without the dye in the skins making it red is a Nico Vermeulen speciality.
