Yelland & Papps Single Vineyard Greenock Shiraz 2024
From a Greenock vineyard planted in 1988, this Yelland & Papps Single Vineyard Shiraz comes from a site that has been farmed by four generations. The twentieth consecutive release of this wine, it was wild yeast fermented and sees large format French oak for 22 months (22% new). With more muscle and bulk than its Syrah sibling , this is quite a different release from the incredible Single Vineyard Greenock Shiraz 2023 . What caught my attention this time was the increased spice and tension, not to mention the oak that protrudes a touch more than hoped, with cedar and coconut husk featuring large. Softer scents of violets are present, but not as lifted. Mulberries, black cherries and plums build a neat frame and sit at the core with delightful berry tart nuances. Dark chocolate, dark soy and peanuts dipped in chocolate add to the savoury drive. The acid shows life and is still quite energetic, even after a couple of days open. I suspect this will be better with more bot

Perché No(rd)? Dialogo sulla linea invisibile del vino italiano
di Stefano Tesi A dispetto del fatto che il bere vino sia un atto fisico, pressoché quotidiano e, secondo qualcuno, pure politico e che, pertanto, possa apparire sbagliato gravare l’argomento di troppe sovrastrutture intellettuali, non c’è dubbio alcuno sulle sue molteplici implicazioni extraenoiche. Affermazione, anche questa, che rischia però di apparire banale fino a quando non la si affronti con i giusti rudimenti e più larghi orizzonti. È quanto assai bene hanno fatto Fabio Pracchia e Giorgio Fogliani mettendo in parallelo le vicende latamente identitarie di territori enoicamente così diversi e al tempo stesso così simili come il Gallo Nero e il Carso in occasione della quarta edizione di “Perché Nord!”, l’appuntamento annuale organizzato a Villa Le Corti dei principi Corsini dall’Associazione San Casciano Classico, che riunisce i produttori dell’UGA San Casciano, appunto la più settentrionale della denominazione: “Non un momento di confronto tra i rispettivi vini, ma uno spazio d

The Wine Makers – Erin Kirschenmann, Novel Pairings and Wine Business Monthly
Erin Kirschenmann’s day job is managing editor of *Wine Business Monthly*. After spending her days immersed in the intricacies and moving targets that make up the wine business, she spends her nights curled up with a book and a glass of wine (or two). As both a writer and a wine lover, she naturally began pairing her reading with wines—a moody Pinot with a twisty thriller, for example. A couple of years ago, it occurred to her that there were other bibliophile-oenophiles out there who would love to do the exact same thing, so she founded Novel Pairings. Novel Pairings exists at the confluence of a book club and a wine club, where quarterly wine shipments align with book selections and monthly gatherings. We sat down with Erin to learn more, find out how she chooses the wines and books, and see if we can do what Petaluma’s finest educators couldn’t: get Brian to read a book. We’re always looking for new ways to bring wine into people’s lives, and people are always looking for more ways
