But Texas was holding its own.  I was selling stupid amounts of 1968 Sassicaia for $28 a bottle. ... 2011- Saw a year of double digit growth. Italy is the largest importer of wines into America. And while America is not the main market of Italian wine, it is a very large and growing one. But my Italian winemaking friends know Brasilia, Phonm Penh, Hong Kong, Berlin, Vancouver. Theirs is a world market, and they live in a global village. People like Roberto Bava, who travels the globe once or twice a year. It isn’t just America, but America is still very much on their minds in Italy. Which brings us to the present day. Anyone who complains about not being able to get an Italian (or any other) wine of their choice is either lazy, unimaginative or just plain silly. Go down the aisles of a local liquor store, and see the immense selection we have now that we didn’t have in 1977. I hear the complaints, and I have to take a deep breath. There are so many of us who have labored our whole career to get it to this point. And when we hear someone complain because they cannot get the Etna Rosso they want, I want to ask them, “Where were you in 1982 when we brought the stuff in and no one wanted it?” I have a million wine stories like that. And so these feeble complaints about the 3-tier system or the choke-hold the large distributors have on the process, or that free enterprise needs to be free and unfettered, they all sound like the collective tantrum that many Americans have gotten themselves into when it comes to choice.     (hide)

  Shinn Estate Vineyards Wild Boar Doe North Fork of Long Island 2005

  Snoothrank:

  The nose showed ripe strawberry with cedar and earth. On the palate, I found raspberry with tea leaf and wood tones. It was beautifully balanced with a gorgeous finish full of red fruits and a hint of pepper.

Read moreHello! My name is Constance Chamberlain and I am very thankful to have been ... Dames d'Escoffiers of New York/International Wine Center scholarship award.I first fell in love with wine while studying abroad in Rhodes, Greece, but it wasn't until a few years later that i realized I could make an entire career out of it! (I also had to turn 21!) Greece made me realize how amazing wine is not only to drink, but in its relation to culture. My major in college was sociology so I was fascinated by this fact! A year out of college while studying for my LSATs I decided wine was what I would do. I worked with a boutique importer for a short period of time in New York City before taking my current position a few months later... I've never looked back. In addition to my full time job, I'm also a freelance wine tasting consultant and freelance wine writer. You can check out my articles regularly on DoValle.com, BoozeMenus.com (wine of the week posts and venue write-ups!), and in Drink Me Magazine... you might even see a post or two here at some point! While in the business, I've had the chance to explore vineyards in Australia, Austria, Greece, Chile, California, Virgina, and Washington - I hope to add many more to that list soon! At the end of the month (May) I will be taking an even more in-depth tour of the wine regions in Austria than I have before so stay tuned for some tasting notes!I love to learn and the good thing about wine is that there is always something new to learn! So come learn with me    (hide)

Read moreI'm a wine educator based in North Carolina. Currently, I'm an ... wine pushed me to move to New York City. There, I worked in the wine department and managed the cellars at Balthazar, and later worked in importing and distributing. I also began intense study at the International Wine Center in Manhattan, working my way through the Wine & Spirit Education Trust's many rigorous certifications. I first earned the Intermediate and Advanced Certificates with Distinction, and in 2011, I completed the WSET Diploma with Merit. The program challenged me with blind tasting, detailed tasting notes, and in depth essays, but ultimately rewarded me with a better understanding and appreciation for wines and spirits around the world.Soon after completing the Diploma program, I was awarded the Wine Australia Scholarship as the USA's top-scoring graduate in 2011. The award included a travel trip to Australia with 4 other top-scorers from around the world, and it proved to be one of the most exciting and informative wine trips of my life. Our journey began in Sydney and ended in Perth, and along the way we met incredible winemakers and tasted some outstanding wines.Part of what I enjoy most about working with wine is that it encompasses so many different subjects - history, geography, geology, chemistry, literature, and much, much more. The study of wine forces you to understand it as a business, but more than often, wine-lovers find themselves wrapped up in its romance. I am passionate about wine education on every level, largely due to the fact that I have had so many amazing teachers throughout my journey with wine. I teach wine courses ranging from basic to advanced at local wine shops, and I have been a guest speaker at events centering around organic and sustainable wines. I have found that at any level of expertise, you always learn something new, and I am excited to continue contributing to wine education as part of the Mentors Program at Snooth.com.      (hide)
