videoThis Winery Disappeared. Somehow, We Found Its Wine
Domaine de Saint Dominique IGP Pays de l'Herault 2009 Let’s have an honest conversation. This remarkable 17-year-old French red comes from a now-defunct 14-hectare estate in the Languedoc, established by Bordeaux-connected wine professionals in a neighborhood known for some of Southern France's most celebrated producers. The wine itself is a fascinating marriage of Bordeaux and Rhône traditions, blending Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Carignan, Petit Verdot and Mourvèdre into something entirely its own. When the opportunity crossed our desk, curiosity got the better of us. We requested samples, opened the bottles, and immediately knew we had stumbled onto something special. What makes this wine extraordinary isn't simply its age, but how beautifully it has held together. Rather than the tired, stewed fruit and heavy tertiary characteristics you might expect from a 17-year-old Southern French red, the 2009 Saint Dominique remains remarkably fresh, focused and energetic,

videoRioja Wine Regions Explained: Alta, Alavesa & Oriental
Explore the three wine regions of Rioja DOCa with me: Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Oriental. In this video, I explain how geography, altitude, climate, soils and grape varieties help shape the different wines produced across one of Spain’s most famous wine regions. I begin with the Denominación de Origen Calificada Rioja and its principal grape varieties, including Tempranillo, Garnacha Tinta and Viura, before taking you through each of Rioja’s three zones. In Rioja Alta, I look at the influence of the Ebro River, Sierra de la Demanda, Oja and Najerilla valleys, along with important wine centres including Logroño, Haro and Cenicero. I also explore Haro’s historic Barrio de la Estación and producers including López de Heredia Viña Tondonia, Cune (Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España), Gómez Cruzado, Bodegas Bilbaínas and La Rioja Alta. Moving north of the Ebro, I explore Rioja Alavesa in Álava, including the influence of the Sierra de Cantabria and Sierra de Toloño, its limes

A book review of, “Black Odesa”
So, we've reached the point in the Felix Hart series by pseudonymous writer, Peter Stafford-Bow wherein with the publication of Black Odesa, it appears we have a trilogy in five parts, or whatever it was that Douglas Adams meant by that in regards to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. If wishing to see reviews of the previous editions: Corkscrew Brut Force Firing Blancs Eastern Promise "Black Odesa" starts out for a very short minute with protagonist Feliz Hart at the very top of his game, living large after the events of "Eastern Promise". Like how a rapper making it big and writing songs about the pains of owning a Ferrari is lame, Stafford-Bow rightly sees that a wealthy Felix is potentially a very boring narrative and tosses Hart to the wilds, taking away everything, including his clothes. Destitute (and thankfully finding something to wear) Hart is forced to set…
