Of Wine and Image
Let me warn you upfront – I’m not sure what this post will be about. Will probably end up with a loose collection of thoughts, most likely a bunch of random incoherent nonsense. A lame attempt at conscious analysis of the subconscious. So if you got something better to do (I’m sure you have), you […]

Trust the Rosso
What is the best part of drinking wine? It is a simple question. The simplicity of the question doesn’t mean that the answer to that question is simple. Also, it doesn’t mean that there is only one answer to that question. Similar to the subject at hand, wine, which is subjective, the answer to our […]

Beauty of Age
Wine is better with age. No, it is not a universal truth, but lots and lots of wines improve with age. “Improve” might not even be the right term. When we put the wine into the cellar (whatever your cellar looks like, as long as it is not a shelf next to your stove which […]

Daily Glass: Inappropriate Wine
Inappropriate wine? What can make wine inappropriate? Ha! I’m glad you asked. I’m also glad that this is the wine blog, so by definition the content here is 21+. But then, in the adult world, what can make the wine inappropriate? Of course, there might be a certain picture on the label. Let’s say naked […]

New York Cabernet Franc Grand Tasting 2026
In my oenophile journey, Cabernet Franc was one of the early discoveries. It all started in Bordeaux, and I don’t mean visiting, just reading about it, not even so much tasting. Continuing that journey, at some point I arrived in the Loire, and there, of course, Cabernet Franc is the king. I wouldn’t remember what […]

Seeking Amarone: Grace and Beauty of Cesari Amarone Bosan
What do you think of Amarone? I know that some people simply dismiss it as an alcohol bomb, as many Amarone wines nowadays are sporting 16.5% ABV, and winemakers blame climate change. Okay, climate change is not the subject of this post, so let’s quickly rewind before we go too far. Let me repeat the […]

As Expected and Full of Surprises
Today, I want to share two recent wine experiences. One, unfortunately, as expected. The second one is unexpectedly surprising. About 10 days ago, I had the opportunity to open a wine from the 2002 vintage to celebrate my youngest daughter’s birthday. I don’t have a lot of 2002 lying around, so I had to decide […]

Michel Rolland influenced winemaking all around the globe, from France to the US Napa Valley, Argentina, Spain, South Africa, and even Israel. There is lots and lots written about Michel Rolland […]

OTBN 2026 – What a night!
Open That Bottle Night (OTBN for short) is one of my favorite wine holidays of the year – possibly simply the favorite. The event, always taking place on the last Saturday in February, was created by Dorothy J. Gaiter and John Brecher, writers of the Wall Street Journal wine column, 27 years ago. The purpose […]
