  I was fortunate enough to be invited to the recent 2010 International Pinot Noir Celebration held, as always, on the lovely campus of Linfield College in McMinnville, Oregon. The theme for this year’s event was "Wine is Food," and I would be hard pressed to come up with a more appropriate theme. From the brilliant Pinot Noir and lamb pairing... Read More

  Most winemakers you meet will insist that wines are made in the vineyard, not the cellar. The truth is that good wine can be made in the cellar, but great wine really does begin out in the field. There are a lot of different vineyard management techniques that are worthy of discussion, but one that is most interesting to me is dry farming.Each c... Read More

  Hey all. I'm a wine reviewer, and just the other day I launched an article on my site about Dolcetto. The wines I featured were from Santa Barbara County, but I'm a big fan of this grape from New World and Old World producers. Does anyone have any recommendations/stories/opinions about Dolcetto? I'd like to get people talking about it. Cheers.If... Read More
