videoAre You Storing Your Wine Wrong?
You don't need a dusty cellar or a mansion to store wine properly. This is your 2025 guide to smart, simple wine storage that'll make sure every bottle you buy tastes awesome—whether you open it next week or next year. Wine is alive, and if you treat it rough, it's going to taste worse (or at least prevent it from tasting better). This isn't about hoarding wines for decades—it's about getting maximum enjoyment from that $20 gem or special occasion bottle. The Sinister 6 (Actually 5) Enemies of Wine: Temperature - Public enemy #1. Heat speeds up aging in all the wrong ways. The magic number? 13°C (55°F). Consistency is king—avoid wild temperature swings. Light - Wine is basically a vampire. UV rays cause "light strike" making your wine smell like wet cardboard. Keep it in the dark. Humidity - For natural corks, aim for 60-70% humidity. Too dry = cork shrinks = oxygen gets in = oxidized wine. Orientation & Vibration - Lay bottles with natural corks on their side to keep the cork mo

videoSalviano Castello di Titiginano Turlo Umbria Rosso IGT 2022 Review | A Super Umbrian?!?
Thanksgiving sets the stage, but the wine drives the mood. This episode follows the shift from classic family dinner to Friendsgiving energy and asks a simple question. What bottle actually earns its spot on the table? The guys spotlight Castello de Titignano Turlo, a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot from Umbria. They break down why this lesser talked about region delivers steady quality, thanks to its stable climate and the surprising role of man made structures in shaping vineyard conditions. The wine opens up with air. Flavors stretch and settle. Structure softens. Each sip tells a clearer story. They focus on what matters most. Value. Approachability. Pairing power. This bottle works for seasoned drinkers and casual guests alike. It supports the meal without stealing the spotlight. The takeaway stays practical. Choose wines that breathe well, pair easily, and keep the table happy. What kind of bottle earns repeat invites to your holiday table? Connect with th

The Wine Makers – Mick Unti, Unti Vineyards
This is one we’ve been wanting to do for a long time. We finally sit down with Mick Unti from Unti Vineyards and get into what makes his wines and his approach so different. Unti sits right in the middle of what most people think of as Zinfandel country, but that’s not what you’ll find in the glass. Mick has built the winery around Italian varieties like Vermentino and Sangiovese, and he talks about why those grapes work so well where he is and how they’re farmed and made. You can tell pretty quickly this isn’t just business for him, it’s something he genuinely loves. We also get into music, vinyl, and everything else that comes up when the conversation gets comfortable. By the end of it, it felt less like an interview and more like hanging out. There’s no wine club, the wines tend to sell out, and the mailing list is the way in. Trust us on that. We had a great time with this one and learned a lot along the way.

“Buy” the Glass
By Doug Fabbioli Forty-one years ago, the first Loudoun County harvest of wine grapes were brought to a crusher machine to be processed into wine. Over the past 4 decades, many more locally grown grapes and other fruits have been picked, crushed, fermented, aged and bottled for our residents and visitors to enjoy. Because wine grapes and other crops have a limited shelf life after picking, the processing of this fruit is often done on the same property where the grapes are grown. Because timing is crucial the grower needs to work closely with the winemaker to ensure a successful harvest. Often this is solved because the grower and the winemaker are the same person. The requirements for a successful vineyard are very specific so we tend to have vineyards clustered together where the conditions are best. All of these pieces together add up to a wine region, where grapes are grown, processed and offered to our customers for tasting and purchase all in the same geographical place. Another

From the Roundtable: How can we make more informed packaging decisions?
In this From the Roundtable episode, I’m joined by Dr Peter Stanbury and Luke Mobley to discuss SWR’s work in packaging. We cover why packaging is such a big topic when it comes to sustainability in the wine industry, the recent global policy developments driving change, and how SWR’s Packaging Choice Tool can help producers with their packaging strategy and decision-making. A foundational report and draft framework for the Packaging Choice Tool will be published this May. Luke also introduces the new Action Area Overview , a document we put together that outlines SWR’s 2026-7 plans and activities, and how you can get involved.

Bruce Jack, a friend of the family, has taken on the task of capturing the majesty of this mountain vineyard in a bottle. Which he does quite nicely. Of course, it must be acknowledged that Bruce Jack still brings a little of himself to the bottle, in that he is an incurable blender (almost all of his best single cultivar wines seem to have the maximum dose of "a little something on the side") and so this wine also features a solid 15%
