Bodegas Buezo, Arlanza, Spain
The winery of Buezo is in the rather overlooked DO arlanza region which sits just to the north of Ribera del Duero, yet yields quite different wines and only holds about two dozen wineries. Here we have the ‘current’ release which is from 2009 as the project looks to build upon a long heritage of aging. That said, this release is still quite fresh and elevated despite such long aging and is a fine wine. Admittedly, it’s a bit confusing as to how the wines are named and the winery […] For full access, please log in or purchase a subscription .
videoWill the AI Bubble Crash? The State of Wine in the USA
A quart in a pint pot. Wine-Searcher's US Editor, W. Blake Gray joins Olly talk about everything happening in the North American wine scene right now. Blake talks about the two-tier US economy and how the stock market performance is helping a number of Americans feel bullish about wine. Will the AI boom help fuel this and, conversely, should the AI bubble burst, what will that mean for the US wine industry? Also, there are indications from Gallo that the wine sector is still not all rosy. Blake discusses the prospects for the 2026 California harvest (early and light); the forest fire pressures in eastern Oregon and in Washington State and Canada's Okanagan Valley. There's much to blame Bambi, and Walt Disney, for, apparently. Back to California (and Texas) and the ravages and dangers of the Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter scares in the state. Blake also covers what could be the best news for wine in the USA this year, namely that the New York Times' editorial stance on the subject may h

Kaesler The Fave Grenache 2025
Demanding your attention with every sip, The Fave from Kaesler is nothing short of an excellent example of Barossa Grenache. From 1930s vines, the fruit was hand-picked and whole-bunch fermented with wild yeast before spending 15 days on skins, it's a wine that balances power and poise with grace. Strawberries, vibrant red cherries and raspberry coulis burst from the glass, wrapped in a fine weave of spice that never overplays its hand. The textural detail is captivating, with a trail of brick dust-like tannins providing shape, persistence and character. There's terrific length and drive, yet it waltzes across the palate with elegance rather than force. An excellent Grenache that captures the variety's charm with confidence, finesse and irresistible moreish appeal. Go here. 95/100 Region: Barossa RRP: $60 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X

Cook & Co Fiano 2026
A Fiano that will certainly brighten your day, check this Cook & Co from the Clare Valley. Merlot vines were grafted over to Fiano in 2002 and the result is a wine that bursts from the glass with an aromatic lime hit that immediately throws out Riesling vibes. Lemon, lemon sherbet and lime zest keep the energy high, delivering a fresh, bouncy personality that's impossible not to like. Beneath all that vibrancy sits a wonderfully textured palate, with a minerally thread adding shape and class. There's terrific balance between its zesty citrus drive and fine texture, delivering effortless appeal. This is an upbeat, dancy wine with springtime written all over it. Pour a glass and try not to smile - I dare you. 92/100 Region: Clare Valley RRP: $28 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X

Stream & Stone Pinot Noir 2025
A new label from Angoves, this Stream & Stone Pinot Noir comes from Tasmania's Tamar Valley. Noticeably savoury from the first swirl, tilled earth, black tea, char and bacon hock set the tone, with burnt chocolate and dried herbs adding further layers of intrigue. The fruit takes a back seat to the earthy, savoury personality, while a bunchy texture brings a firm, grippy structure that shapes the palate. Like its Chardonnay sibling, the finish feels clipped and doesn't quite carry the length you'd hope for. That said, there's more presence and substance here, with complexity and structural grip making it the more compelling of the two. 90/100 Region: Tasmania RRP: $50 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X

Stream & Stone Chardonnay 2025
A new brand under the Angove banner, this Chardonnay comes from Tasmania's Tamar Valley. Lemon, lemon sherbet, green apple and tinned pineapple deliver a bright and energetic opening before white-fleshed nectarines and subtle licks of barbecued peach add interest. A vanilla slice note and a slippery pastry-like feel bring a gentle creamy touch, while a saline edge keeps the fruit in check. It's neatly composed, although the fruit is thinly veiled and the palate feels clipped, finishing sooner than hoped. There's enough freshness and balance to make it an enjoyable drink, but it stops short of delivering the depth and persistence that would lift it to the next level. In the end, it goes okay. 89/100 Region: Tasmania RRP: $50 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X
videoNot Nebbiolo or Barbera, but…
Everyone knows Nebbiolo. Most wine lovers know Barbera. But what about the other, other Piedmont red grape? Meet Dolcetto. Despite its name, which means "little sweet one," Dolcetto is completely dry. Instead, it delivers vibrant blackberry, blueberry, and plum flavors with soft tannins and fresh acidity, making it one of Piedmont's most enjoyable wines to drink young. This is Casa E. di Mirafiore Dolcetto d'Alba, and it's a great reminder that some of Italy's most rewarding wines aren't always the most famous. One final tip: try serving it with a slight chill, about 20 minutes in the refrigerator. It really brings the freshness out!

The glass says something entirely different. When this wine was first poured for us, our immediate reaction was simple: "Wait... what is this?" We already knew and loved Olivier Leflaive's outstanding Les Sétilles, one of our longtime favorite white Burgundy values. Then we discovered Oncle Vincent, and suddenly everything changed. The importer smiled and simply told us, "It's the better Bourgogne Blanc." After one sip, we understood exactly what she meant. The difference begins in the vineyards. While Les Sétilles draws fruit from villages throughout the Côte de Beaune, Oncle Vincent comes entirely from eight carefully selected parcels in and around Puligny-Montrachet, Burg
videoThe truth about premium Japanese Sake
Sake labels look impossible to read until you learn these four words. Stop serving it hot, and discover the truth about premium Japanese sake. What questions does this video answer? How do you read a Japanese sake label? What is the difference between Junmai, Honjozo, Ginjo, and Daiginjo? Should you drink premium sake hot or cold? What foods pair best with sake besides sushi? About This Video: Sake labels can look impossible to decipher, but you only need to know four words to unlock the entire shelf: Junmai, Honjozo, Ginjo, and Daiginjo. Certified Italian Wine Ambassador Greg Martellotto takes a detour to Japan to break down the fundamentals of sake brewing. The style in your glass depends heavily on two things: how much the rice is polished, and whether brewer's alcohol is added. From the pure, umami-rich body of a Junmai to the delicate, pear-scented perfection of a 50% polished Daiginjo, discover exactly what you are buying. Plus, learn the cardinal rule of premium sake—never
