videoStop Serving Bad Natural Wine to New Drinkers.
Meet Allie — our new EU correspondent. She's a Texan who moved to Germany without speaking a word of German, stumbled into a vineyard job, completed a three-year winemaking apprenticeship in the Pfalz, and never left. Now she's working in sales and export and living right in the beating heart of German wine culture. In this first dispatch from Europe, we dig into: → Allie's wild path from Colorado School of Mines dropout to German winemaker (blame the free Coors brewery tours) → Why the Pfalz is the real centre of German wine culture — not the Mosel → Wine Paris vs ProWein: why importers are abandoning Düsseldorf and what Vinexpo is doing differently → The non-alcoholic wine boom — is it actually any good yet? → Bad natural wine is scaring off new drinkers — €14 for nail polish remover is not the way in → Why young people aren't engaging with wine and what the industry is getting wrong about approachability → Germany's apprenticeship system vs university — and why hands-on skills

Best Wine for Thanksgiving: How to Choose
Justin Herbinet of New York’s National Arts Club shares his philosophy for pairing wines with Thanksgiving dinner — and reminds us that gratitude pairs best with the bottles you already love.

videoUnderstanding Champagne: Time, Yeast, and the Taste of Toast
Today, Julien, the French winemaker, reveals the "secret" behind Champagne’s prestige: a process called yeast autolysis.While many sparkling wines rely on primary fruit flavors, Champagne’s unique personality is defined by what happens after the secondary bottle fermentation. Once the yeast cells have finished converting sugar into alcohol and CO2, they die and form a sediment known as lees. In Champagne production, the wine is left in contact with these dead cells for years. ____________ BECOME A WINE EXPLORER!

The perfect wines to drink with Christmas pudding
The perfect wines to drink with Christmas pudding Whether you opt for Christmas pudding, the very traditional finale to Christmas dinner in the UK, or something equally rich and sweet, what are the perfect wines to drink with Christmas pudding? This blog post looks at which wines will complement your dessert whether it be plum pudding, mince pies, panettone, trifle, chocolate cake or cheese. You could also look at my wine suggestions to serve with main courses at Christmas.

And there is a fundamental second tip when pairing desserts & wine and that is … You might think that drinking a wine that is even sweeter than a dessert would make the dessert seem sickly sweet but surprisingly that is not the case. It will actually help to avoid creating an acidic or sour taste in the mouth. Of course the sweet wine must have good acidity too as that will also stop the comb
