Chateau Lascombes
Here are the brilliant new 2023 releases by Chateau Lascombes. Today we share the beautiful wines of Chateau Lascombes which is a property with a whopping 120 hectares (296 acres) planted in the Margaux appellation, as well as 10 hectares (24 acres) in the Haut-Médoc appellation. It is one of the largest vineyards among the classified growths of 1855. Set near the center of Margaux, vines are set on a range of soil types, as the vineyard has three separate blocks of roughly the same surface area: a gravelly outcrop planted with Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, a block of clay-gravel made up of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, and finally clay-limestone plots, where Merlot is planted. As these wines have a softer expression for the region, it is no surprise that Merlot makes up roughly 50% of vines planted which is highly unique to the appellation. Sitting down with head winemaker Axel Heinz we chatted about the current vintage. Harvest is extremely condensed in this warm 2026 vintage

Ask a Wine Pro: What Is Pink Chardonnay?
Grown in almost every major winemaking region, there are over 520,000 acres of Chardonnay vines planted around the world. The versatile white grape is notorious for its somewhat divisive nature, with expressions ranging from rich and buttery to fresh and zingy. Though the grape is ubiquitous at wine shops and restaurants, there’s one particular type of Chardonnay that might come as a surprise when you see it on a label or shelf talker: Pink Chardonnay. The article Ask a Wine Pro: What Is Pink Chardonnay? appeared first on VinePair.

🎧The Evolution of Sculpterra Winery: A Conversation with Winemaker Paul Frankel
It’s Monday, Let’s raise a glass to the beginning of another week. It’s time to unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and let’s begin Exploring the Wine Glass. Today, we are heading to the heart of Paso Robles to dive into the incredible evolution of Sculpterra Winery. Long before they were crafting estate wines and filling a breathtaking sculpture garden with monumental works of art, the Frankel family started out simply tending the land and selling their grapes to other regional producers. To talk about what it's truly like to grow up among those vines, watch a family business transform from the ground up, and take the helm as winemaker, I sat down with winemaker and vineyard manager Paul Frankel. Pull up a chair, pour yourself a glass, and let’s explore the story behind Sculpterra. Please take a moment of your time to subscribe, rate and review Exploring the Wine Glass. It’s completely free and is a great way to let other wine lovers know about the podcast. Be sure to head over to the w

Worker Accused of Starting the Pickett Fire Pleads Not Guilty
Juan Luis Gutierrez Marfil, 45, of Napa, has pleaded not guilty in Napa County Superior Court to a felony charge of recklessly causing the August 2025 Pickett Fire, which burned 6,820 acres and a residence on and around a Pickett Road property owned by vintner Jayson Woodbridge. A Cal Fire filing says he admitted disposing of hot ashes into a burn pile. Three Howell Mountain wine companies have sued Woodbridge and his Hundred Acre affiliates over smoke-damaged grapes, and the defendants have moved the case to federal court and asked for dismissal. The PlumpJack Group has already settled with Hundred Acre, and an attorney says 20 to 30 other growers are weighing their options.
