Rodaro Schioppettino Romain 2016 Review – Dried Fruit Notes
When out at a local wine shop, we stumbled upon a bottle of Rodaro's Schioppettino and, given that it was a new grape for us, we naturally scooped it up right away. But as this one is made with grapes that were allowed to raisinate, and clocked in at a robust 15% ABV, we never ... Read more

Flavescence dorée: A Viticultural Murder Mystery
In slanting early morning light, a shadow crosses a vineyard. The figure moves row by row, ripping out vines and casting them onto a large, burning pyre. The blaze stretches to greet the sun as it rises above a mountainous horizon. There is fire from all points of the compass. Death is in the air. The culprit is a phytoplasm fatal to Vinifera vines. Its spread is aided by the American grapevine leafhopper (Scaphoideus titanus), a dwarf cicada native to North America. As it feasts on the vines, it transmits the pathogen of what is known in German as Goldgelbe...

Trentodoc Sparkling Wines: Italy’s Mountain Metodo Classico
Introduction: Italy’s Premium Traditional-Method Sparkling Wine Cyclically, the wine world seems to grow enamored with new buzzwords.
