Behind the Cork™ - Bezel Pinot Noir
Bezel Pinot Noir ($29.99) This Pinot Noir is part of the “ A Tour of Wine Grapes ” series. Bezel Wines is a fresh wine adventure from the well-known Cakebread Family of wines. Since 1973, they’ve been making wine in Napa Valley at Cakebread Cellars in Rutherford, California. But with Bezel, they’re venturing out of Napa to discover the hidden treasures of California wine country on the Central Coast. In this case, the Bezel Pinot Noir was crafted in Paso Robles using Pinot Noir grapes from the Edna Valley, a cool-climate region renowned for its outstanding, elegant Pinot Noir. It spent 8 months aging in French oak. This Bezel Pinot Noir has a medium ruby hue, with aromas of cherry and raspberry, along with some floral hints. On the palate, this medium-bodied wine offers flavors of black cherry and plum, complemented by bright acidity and medium-high tannin. It concludes with a light touch of sweetness.

🎧Ep 613: The Grape Mini-Series Refresh — Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo is one of the oldest and finest red grapes of Italy. Native to Piemonte (Piedmont) in the northwest of the country, it was first mentioned and described by (my boyfriend) Pliny the Elder in the first century AD. After a time of being known exclusively on its home turf, starting in the 1700s, Nebbiolo began to gain status as a wine of Piemontese royalty. When a dry version was made in the mid-1800s, the wine's place as a great of the wine world was cemented. Nebbiolo sparkles in the epic wines of Barolo and Barbaresco, along with other neighboring areas. But it's not a good traveler. Others have tried to grow it and make wine from it, but the magic of Nebbiolo is often elusive. So it remains small. With less than 15,000 acres/ 6,070 ha of Nebbiolo planted globally, this is a rare grape and we are lucky to have access to it! Photo: Nebbiolo grape in the Langhe.

At the UIV Assembly, the figures reflect a sector producing more than the market can absorb. We see record stocks, one in five bottles downgraded, half a billion euros in value already lost, and a US market that will struggle to recover. A specific phrase echoed through the CNEL hall during the General Assembly of the Unione Italiana Vini, celebrating its symbolic 130th anniversary.
