Make the most of vineyard nitrogen
Nitrogen is one of the trickier nutrients to get right in vines; too much encourages soft, sappy, growth, leading to overly-dense canopies with poor airflow, increased disease risk and slower ripening, while too little can compromise both this season’s vigour, and next season’s cane growth. Hutchinsons agronomist Rob Saunders explains more and offers his advice. […] The post Make the most of vineyard nitrogen appeared first on Vineyard Magazine .

LEARNING ABOUT WINE Rías Baixas: Atlantic Wine in Galicia
Rías Baixas: Atlantic Wine in Galicia Rías Baixas begins with water.

Colmar Estate Block 4 Syrah 2024
A brand new wine in the Colmar Estate stable, owner Bill Schrapnel has always been obsessed with Mosel, Alsace and Burgundy, but Côte-Rôtie has always made him curious. So here we are, his take on Syrah from his little patch in Orange. An early ripening clone was tracked down, so the R6WV28 landed, and these are the first Syrah/Shiraz vines of the sort to call Orange home. Uplifting aromas of red petals, cherries, plums, blackberries and red apple skin get the juices flowing. Its shape and presence ooze cool-climate Syrah. Noticeably youthful given the tension and firmish presence initially through the palate, it doesn't reach out on the palate as much as hoped. Mind you, I can't help but ponder where this is going, particularly as the vines mature in time. Earthy notes, Dutch cocoa, black pepper, and black tea build further appeal with sooty tannins and fine warming spices adding a comfort factor. Black book this Syrah. Those vines will pay grand dividends in time. 91/100 Regio

Camino Wine Co Grenache Blanc de Noir 2025
Jason Barrette has a knack for trying a few things. I've seen him push some boundaries with some wines in his care, and this Grenache Blanc de Noir under his own label tugs at your curiosity and soothes the taste buds with charismatic ease. Made from the red grape Grenache and handpicked from vines planted in 1912, the fruit was whole bunch pressed with no skin contact to ensure no impact on the colour. The result is a wine that is almost water clear. Attractive aromas of white peach, pears, red apple and strawberries pique my interest, and they flow through to the flavour profile with absolute ease. The mid-palate is filled with a thrilling and most engaging tonic-like texture. Fine ginger and cinnamon spice linger, upping the moreish factor. Slide this into a blind tasting and I doubt many would pick it as a red grape. An exciting take on Grenache with a point of difference sure to raise a few eyebrows around the table, big love. 93/100 Region: Barossa RRP: $35 Sou

St John's Road Blood & Courage Shiraz 2023
In the slot, this St John's Road Blood & Courage Shiraz is a reliable expression of Barossa Shiraz that won't blow you away, but will present a solid argument. It tastes of plums, dark cherries and blackberries with a charcoal cameo. Mulberries step up once it sees some more air. I'm unsure where the fruit is sourced from, be it a single site or multiple, but the quality is evident. Roasted meats carve a course through the mid-palate with fine, brickdust tannins adding a moreish finish that dries out slowly. It's nicely done. 92/100 Region: Barossa RRP: $28 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X

podcast· 35:21Dan Berger Speaks on Harvest and Market
Dan Berger speaks with Daedalus Howell about the state of harvest and the wine industry right now on California Wine Country. He is occasionally the featured guest, the last time was this show from last May with his personal picks from Bottle Barn . Dan reports that the crop is very light this year. Especially Cabernet Sauvignon is looking “ratty” and there is virtually no fruit. The growers are facing a dilemma. Some grapes look sound and others don’t. They have to pick something, but when? On the eastern side of Sonoma County the Cabernet Sauvignon looks horrible. We had a lot of rain in the spring that caused some shatter. That is when the buds that are being formed are damaged by heat or rain or hail. There was a lot of uneven bloom. But the weather wasn’t warm enough to help the vines recover. Champagne grapes were being picked in June. Some Sonoma County Cabernet growers finished harvesting in late August, which is very early. Oversupply and Alternat
videoWe Tried Every Pickle—Here’s the Best | Food & Wine
What's the best jarred pickle you can buy? Food & Wine food stylist Julian Hensarling and pickle expert Levon Wallace put 14 of the biggest brands of whole dill pickles to the ultimate blind taste test, tasting and ranking everything from Vlasic, Mt. Olive, Claussen, Grillo's, Bubbies, and Boar's Head to store brands from Whole Foods, Target, Walmart, and more. As they score each pickle out of 10, they break down what separates a great pickle from an average one—analyzing crunch, flavor, brine, garlic, dill, and texture while trying to guess each brand. Along the way, they explain what "kosher dill" actually means (and whether the pickles are really kosher), share expert insights into what makes the perfect pickle, and debate which jars are worth buying. With plenty of surprises, strong opinions, and unexpected favorites, they reveal their top three pickles before crowning the ultimate #1 jarred pickle, so be sure to watch to the end to see which brand comes out on top.
