To decant or not to decant? That is the question…
To decant or not to decant? That is the question… Often regarded as an old-fashioned, even somewhat pretentious practice, decanting wine has its fair share of doubters. Is decanting simply done for show or does it serve a useful purpose? If so, which wines should be decanted and how long before serving should wine be decanted? This blogpost looks into the why, which, how and when of decanting wine. WHY DECANT WINE? The main reason historically for decanting wine was to remove it from any naturally-occurring sediment often seen in wines that have aged a while in bottle. This sediment can taste bitter and, let’s face it, is unpleasant in texture – no-one likes to get that gritty last mouthful of wine. You would expect to see a sediment in vintage & crusted port and wines, mostly red wines, that have been aged for a number of years in bottle. Some younger wines can also benefit from being decanted. There is a small but growing number of natural winemakers who prefer not to filter their wi

The Wine Makers – DTC Symposium Part 1
Steve Gross, Honore Comfort & Mark Barden Wine Institute Monterey, Calif. — Sitting down with Steve Gross has become one of our favorite DTC Wine Symposium traditions. Not only does he have one of the best radio voices in the wine business, but he’s spent nearly four decades on the front lines of wine shipping battles nationwide. Largely thanks to his efforts, residents of 49 states can now receive direct-to-consumer wine shipments. Steve is always ready to update us on the latest state-level shenanigans aimed at limiting consumer access to their favorite wines. But his role has recently grown even bigger. Last month, he stepped into the role of interim president of the Wine Institute. Frankly, we couldn’t feel more confident having Steve Gross leading this crucial organization at such a pivotal moment. One of the big-picture initiatives coming out of the Wine Institute is the Share Wine Co-Lab. To dig into how and why it came together, we were joined by a familiar face for Sonoma Coun

11/17/24: Shacksbury Cider's Sugar Shack
Surprise! It's another cider post! Seriously, I had such a rough time finding maple beers to get to this season. Luckily, the cider makers have come through for me. Maple syrup and hard cider has been one of my favorite flavor combinations since I first stumbled upon it. I'm excited to see how Shacksbury's Sugar Shack, today's cider, plays into the combo. Shacksbury 's based in the Champlain Valley (Addison County) of Vermont and is named after an old hamlet that was making cider in the area back in the 1840s. The cider they make is complex and organic. I couldn't find Sugar Shack on Shacksbury's website (although I did track down this Instagram post !), so we'll let Untappd tell us about today's cider. Unfortunately, there's not much here. This just states the 5.5% ABV cider has "...maple and vanilla." My can provides a bit more of a story while letting us know it's made with vanilla bean paste instead of extract or artificial vanilla flavor. The bouquet is a little drier, a lit
podcast· 3:12QUAL A FUNÇÃO DAS ROSEIRAS NOS VINHEDOS?
As roseiras fazem parte da paisagem dos vinhedos há séculos e carregam consigo muito mais do que simbolismo ou beleza. Neste vídeo, exploramos a origem dessa tradição e explicamos por que vinho e rosas sempre caminharam juntos, tanto no imaginário cultural quanto na prática vitícola. Além das referências mitológicas que ligam a rosa a Dionísio, Afrodite e Apolo, há uma função extremamente prática por trás da presença dessas flores entre as vinhas. As roseiras atuam como um verdadeiro sistema de alerta natural, ajudando o viticultor a identificar precocemente doenças e pragas que podem ameaçar o parreiral. NESTE VÍDEO, VOCÊ VAI ENTENDER 🌹🍇 - A relação histórica e simbólica entre vinho e rosas - As origens mitológicas dessa tradição - Por que roseiras aparecem no meio dos vinhedos - O conceito da rosa como “canário na mina” - A ligação entre roseiras, fungos e pragas da videira Matéria na íntegra: https://revistaadega.uol.com.br/artigo/por-que-existem-roseiras-nos-vinhedos-entenda-func
podcast· 32:21· S7E16A Tribute to Peter Fraser
Peter Fraser, head winemaker and general manager at Yangarra Estate Vineyard in McLaren Vale, Australia, died in a house fire on 27th November 2025, aged 51. Peter was not only tremendously well respected, he was also tremendously well liked. As a person, he was affable, gentle, modest, genuine, ready with a laugh. As a professional, he was dedicated, conscientious and hugely talented. A champion of biodynamics and sensitive winemaking, Peter made wines of elegance, nuance and gravitas. They won a litany of awards and many fans. These bottles not only conveyed the brilliance and beauty of, for example, old-vine Blewitt Springs Grenache - they also brought joy, and a smile to the lips of countless wine lovers around the world. Through this personal and professional legacy, Peter was, and will remain, a pillar of the McLaren Vale community and landscape. He will be sorely missed. This is our tribute to Peter, which features an interview recorded with him on 24th October 2025. His words a
