Liquor Markups are the Shackles that are Impeding Canadian Wine Businesses
We are now well past Canada Day, the date that the federal government had previously promised to remove our internal trade barriers regarding wine shipped and sold between provinces. We have no actual substantive progress to date – merely some vague announcements and promises to negotiate. It appears, unsurprisingly, that the government was too optimistic […] The post Liquor Markups are the Shackles that are Impeding Canadian Wine Businesses first appeared on WineLaw.ca .

'D' is for 'Dão'. As in the wine-producing region of Portugal!

videoPriorat’s Famous Llicorella Soils Explained #history #science #wine #priorat
Join me in Priorat, one of Catalunya’s most historic and distinctive wine regions. I’m visiting the Mas Doix vineyards near Poboleda, exploring century-old bush vines planted on the region’s iconic llicorella slate soils. These shallow, nutrient-poor, heat-conducting slate layers are a defining feature of Priorat and play a major role in producing the area’s powerful yet graceful red wines. In this video, I walk through the steep natural contours of the vineyard, show the structure of the llicorella soil beneath my feet, and explain why these conditions are so important for vine stress, drainage, and intensity of flavour. If you have any questions about Priorat, slate soils, or the wines of Catalunya, feel free to leave them in the comments.

Ludor Wines winemaker Sal de la Cruz
Dan and Sal Sal de la Cruz from Ludor Wines joins Dan Berger and Daedalus Howell in the studio on California Wine Country today. This is the first time on the show for Sal and for the winery. All of the wines that Sal has brought come from the Weiler vineyard in the Sonoma Valley AVA. They begin by tasting a red wine blend called Yuma , named after their beloved nine-year-old dog , who is on the label. It’s a very casual wine, delicious and fruity. Dan says that this is the modern era of red wine. “Drink it soon,” but it is authentic to the fruit. It is similar to Beaujolais but with better grapes. The Merlot character is right up front, and it has beautiful other nuances of black fruit. It is in a clear bottle. They wanted to show the color and break the boundaries of a traditionally dark glass. Since it isn’t meant for long aging, the clear glass is fine. It was just bottled three months ago. This is a great picnic wine, declares Daedalus. It got no wood, all made in stainless steel
