What Makes Fall the Best Season for Wine Tourism in Portugal?
Fall is widely considered the best season for wine tourism in Portugal because it combines milder temperatures, the grape harvest (vindima), golden vineyard landscapes, smaller crowds, and easier availability than during the summer peak. The exact experience varies by region, from the terraced Douro Valley to the sun-baked Alentejo plains, so the "best" fall trip depends on what a traveler is looking for.

Arizcuren, Rioja low & high
Arizcuren is unique on many fronts, but immediately notable is that it’s the most urban winery there is in the entire region of Rioja, based in the center of Logroño, a city of 150,000 people. There are others wineries located within the core of various villages and there’s the enormous Franco Españoles which sits just on the other side of the Ebro River from Logroño’s center, churning our four million bottles a year. But there is nothing like Arizcuren, narrowly wedged into Calle Santa Isabel just around the corner from […] For full access, please log in or purchase a subscription.

Disclosure Day Review: Spielberg Gives Us Too Much Credit
Disclosure Day review: Spielberg pours a lifetime of obsessions into an earnest, overlong sci-fi plea to an indifferent world. A little over halfway through Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day, Margaret Fairchild (Emily Blunt) and Daniel Kellner (Josh O’Connor) take refuge from a thrilling chase in a freight car packed with disassembled pianos. Margaret slides into a panic attack, certain the tremors moving through her hands are the first signs of the Parkinson's that took her father and has shadowed her ever since. It’s one of the more compelling scenes in the film, and for a moment I was sure that Spielberg was using it to crack the whole film open, that this was a movie functioning as an allegory about aging, memory, and losing control. It is a shame the movie never fully follows or commits to that thread. But when Disclosure Day manages to get out of its own way, it is about memory: about a plea to remember what humans are capable of when we choose to cooperate. That plea
