LEARNING ABOUT WINE: Why Does Burgundy Have So Many Communes?
Why Does Burgundy Have So Many Communes? Burgundy can be difficult for new wine drinkers because it asks them to understand places before grapes. In many wine regions, the label begins with a grape name, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, or Pinot Noir. In Burgundy, the label often begins with a place: Bourgogne, Chablis, Gevrey-Chambertin, ...

The Burgundy final drop – nothing but Grand Cru and heroes
Welcome to the final instalment of 'these are all the Burgundies I've tasted recently', a collection of tasting highlights from my visit to the Grand Jours de Bourgogne 2026 (a week-long wine fair in this famed French wine region in early March). We've gone from endless Chablis through Vosne mega-wines, explored the value joys of Outer Burgundy, remembered why I love Volnay and Pommard, Meursault megastars and much more. For this post, I'm headed to the icon tier of the Burgundian wine cabinet with a collection of high-flying village and 1er Cru wines plus some ridiculous superstar Grand Cru heroes, interspersed with a few jaw-dropping disappointments.

What have you been buying and drinking in July 2026?
t’s that time again. Time to inspire me to spend more money on drinks, even though the WineArk cabinet can’t be closed properly and the Amex is looking scared. So, what wine, beer, and other refreshing liquids have you been buying and drinking this month? I bought a selection of Alisdair Tulloch's Aeon Wines this month, because I love the style so much - they're layered, interesting, non-conventional Hunter reds (and a lone worked Semillon) that have such a uniquely textural edge (big fan of the Aeon Terrosol Syrah 2024 in particular)... Otherwise, there weren't many purchases in Australia as the month of July has been spent on a variety of Indonesian islands as we escape the worst of the Sydney winter. Sadly, as I talked about a few years back, wine in Indo is wildly expensive, except for some of the local and 'locally-made' Balinese wine, and I largely end up drinking cocktails and beer (shout to the excellent Kura Kura IPA).
