Can Bordeaux Reinvent Itself? How One of Wine’s Greatest Regions is Adapting to a Changing World
Introduction Can Bordeaux adapt to changing wine tastes without losing its identity? Bordeaux is pulling up thousands of hectares of vines because of overproduction. How does Mouton Cadet’s model offer a way out for some wine growers? How are modern Bordeaux producers, like Mouton Cadet, creating wines with more energy, smoothness, and drinkability for today’s consumers? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I’m chatting with Véronique Hombroekx, the Managing Director for the Mouton Cadet Brand and Jérôme Aguirre, Director, Mouton Cadet Wines, about their Fair for Life program. You can find the wines we discussed here. Join […]

Blank look
Today's subject is something of a sequel to Victoria Málaga, which featured in a post about Spanish beer last year . Rosa Blanca is also from the Barcelona beer giant Damm, and is sold in a 66cl bottle. That becomes rather less indulgent-seeming at an ABV of only 3.4%. From that I expected it to be pale and sickly looking, but it's quite a rich golden colour in the glass, with a positively handsome German-style head. The aroma shows character too: peachy fruit, suggesting that the label's claim that it's a "hoppy lager" isn't simply an idle marketing boast. The flavour is plainer, certainly, but it's not dull. There's a cereal crispness emphasised by a surprisingly full body for the strength. The hops -- American, I assume -- add a zesty lemon note, building gradually into quite a serious resinous bitterness. The sheen comes off it after a few sips, however, with the introduction of a slightly cloying floral perfume note, and a dry tang of metal: both hallmarks of when big brewer

Corpinnat nears two dozen with Mas Vilella
Corpinnat has just announced (*) their 23rd addition in the form of Mas Vilella, bringing the total number of wineries in the association to just shy of two dozen. While the biggest news for Corpinnat this year was the move of Juvé & Camps from DO Cava to the association, the addition of Mas Vilella is quite important as well. It forms part of a new front in the group wherein there are members that aren't coming from other, established DOs, but instead starting new projects that opt to produce under Corpinnat from very the start, emphasizing the strength in the core values of the association. Mas Vilella started still wine production in 2015 when Albert Jané, after finding a good deal of success in his DO Montsant and DOQ Priorat wineries of Acústic and Ritme, decided to go back and build upon his roots. While Mas Vilella is a…

Field of Dreams
By Luis Romero In Vienna, Gemischter Satz , meaning “mixed planting or set,” is a winemaking style where various grape varieties– growing side by side– are harvested and fermented together. In Alsace, the tradition is called Edelzwicker , edel means noble in German and zwicker is blend– a noble blend of whites. These field blends are shaped not by a winemaker’s blending decisions in the cellar, but by the chemistry of unique varieties interacting within a single fermenter. The ethos of minimal or non-intervention winemaking is part of Oregon’s identity and inspiration for some of the newest and most creative blends. While not all the wines precisely match the definition of a field blend, they do reflect the ingenuity, passion and winemakers’ desire to find new ways to make wines from the land. All allow nature to tell its story. Meet Oregon’s winemakers daring to craft something distinct. In May, I visited nine producers across the

Small Seeds Become Ancient Trees
By Branden Andersen You’ve almost certainly driven past this tree without realizing it. To most, it looks like a standard shade tree, usually standing alone in the middle of a field or at the edge of a vineyard. Its bark is deeply furrowed, limbs gnarled and canopy– in advanced age– as wide as a farmhouse. If the tree is old enough, it stood when Lewis and Clark explored the Willamette Valley. Its acorns fed the local Kalapuya people long before a single grapevine was intentionally planted in Oregon soil. It is Quercus garryana – the Oregon white oak– and is rapidly disappearing. According to the Clackamas Soil and Water Conservation District, a mere 10 percent of the oak habitats present in 1850 still remain. And 96 percent of what’s left stand on private land. The Umpqua Watersheds organization puts the loss in starker terms: estimates of remaining oak ecosystems across the Pacific Northwest range from just five to 15 percent of their pre-European

Declaration of Deliciousness
By Aakanksha Agarwal Fourth of July in wine country rarely resembles a polished fantasy. Yes, there are bottles on ice and grills fired up in the distance. In Oregon, the holiday arrives when vines are surging through long summer days and growers continue to keep one eye on the weather forecast. It is a season of celebration, yes, but also one of vigilance and work. Still, they celebrate. Across the state, winery owners spend the holiday in ways that feel deeply personal and surprisingly unpretentious: neighborhood potlucks where rare library wines sit alongside cans of Rainier beer, community parades, burgers loaded with kimchi slaw, pork tenderloins on the grill, IPAs sweating in coolers and vineyard kids sprinting between the vine rows. Fireworks are increasingly approached with caution. But gathering together, opening something special and making time for family remain nonnegotiable. We asked this simple question: What does Fourth of July actually look like at your house? COMMUNITY
