Climate and Weather Patterns in Rioja
Rioja’s climate is shaped by its position in the Ebro River valley, between the Cantabrian Mountains to the north and the Demanda and Cameros ranges to the south. Within this relatively compact territory, changing air flows, rainfall patterns, sunlight and elevation create a mosaic of vineyard conditions across Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Oriental.

La nuova geografia climatica del vino italiano. (Spoiler: non sarà una semplice migrazione verso Nord)
Quando pensiamo agli effetti del cambiamento climatico sul vino italiano, la rappresentazione più immediata sembra quasi ovvia: il Sud diventerà progressivamente troppo caldo, mentre il Nord potrà beneficiare di temperature più favorevoli alla maturazione dell’uva.

Okanagan Valley Wines: Resilience in the Face of Adversity
It’s been a rough few years for British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley wine producers. A region once defined by boundless promise is now navigating a new normal marked by climate volatility, crop loss, and uncertainty. And yet, in the glass, hope still speaks and often very eloquently. I recently sat down to taste a handful of wines from two premiere Okanagan wineries. They reinforced an already firmly held conviction of just how important this region is to Canada’s fine wine landscape. But first, let’s talk about the storm the industry is weathering. Fire, Deep Freezes, and the Fight to Survive The Okanagan has endured a brutal string of vintages. It started with the catastrophic 2021 wildfires. That summer, blazes tore through the South Okanagan, shutting down tasting rooms and threatening livelihoods. The aftermath was equally devastating. Many 2021 wines showed clear signs of smoke taint, forcing wineries to declassify or discard entire cuvées. Some producers skipped bottling altogethe

Study says B.C. among regions positioned to benefit, but extreme weather events remain a threat.

Vintage: Old-is-New-Again Vineyard Practices
We’re talking about vintage as it pertains to something classic and enduring from the past, like the days of pre-industrial agriculture.

Conversations around “revolutionary” vineyard practices point to…
