The wines of Corpinnat 2026
At this moment in 2026, the Corpinnat sparkling wine association has taken what is perhaps its most crucial leap since being founded in 2015. Accompanying this report is the large Tasting Report which is by far the most extensive to date in terms of the number of wines reviewed with 18 of the 22 member wineries having submitted samples. The reasons for the quantity are obvious as they’ve now arrived to 22 members; an impressive increase from the six that originally broke from DO Cava back in 2019 and there […] For full access, please log in or purchase a subscription.

Looking back at Priorat 2021
It’s hard to imagine, but the Northern Hemisphere’s harvest of 2021 was nearly half a decade ago now. Yeah, I know. Clearly, the quantity of water that flowed under the figurative bridge since then has been, immeasurable… But due to all the world events and torrent of information thrown our way, it’s easy to miss things that are, for most people, not terribly important, such as the various vintages passing in wine regions. And given a justifiably-limited amount of attention span, I feel that there are only a few ‘bookmark’ […] For full access, please log in or purchase a subscription.

The wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape & Gigondas 2026
In the middle of April, I made my way up to the Southern Rhône for the annual reports of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas; two of the leading regions overall for this very beautiful portion of France. I won’t mince my words, the arrival was rather grim as while going a month later made for much better weather, it also allowed to see the harsh reality that is the changing face of wine consumption. There were countless vineyards that hadn’t been pruned, which, at this point in the spring means that they’re […] For full access, please log in or purchase a subscription.

The Featured Croatian Wines of 2026
It was easily shown in the general Croatia and Dalmacija Reports that there’s a great deal happening in this corner of Southern Europe. While Croatia isn’t enormous in terms of wine production, there were nearly 350 wines in those two reports, so it’s worth looking at a smaller, Featured Selection that’s just 5% of the larger total, but which are wines that sum up the general scope of excellence being produced currently.
