The Trouble with Syrah
In 2003 James Laube wrote in Wine Spectator that Syrah was poised to be California’s next great red that could someday rival Cabernet Sauvignon. In 2010 Eric Asimov wrote in the New York Times that Syrah was considered, in the 1990s, to be the next great hope for American red wine. If you consider planting…

Crete: Where all the Women are Strong and all the Men are Good-looking
Sometimes you think you’ve seen enough of something. Enough vineyards, enough barrel rooms, enough wineries – I mean how many stainless steel tanks does one guy need to see? It’s easy to become jaded in any line of work, see enough breweries, wineries, and distilleries and you get the gist. It was nice, for a…

How to Choose Italian Wine in a Supermarket
Supermarket wine aisles are designed to make you feel stupid. I’m fairly convinced of it. Fifty bottles you can’t pronounce. DOC, DOCG, and IGT stamped everywhere like the wine sat an exam. Gold medal stickers stacked three deep, as if the bottle just came home from the Olympics. Prices ranging...

Eisenstone’s gloriously un-Penfoldian 2023 Barossa reds
As I sit with a thick bottle of the new Eisenstone SV902 Hoffmann DV Vineyard Ebenezer Shiraz 2023 in front of me, I keep thinking about how refreshing it is to see how Barossa Shiraz has evolved. The default setting hasn't changed; this wine, and the, style is still unashamedly lush, oaky, and warmi, but we're no longer stuck with the old-school four-square, American oak-heavy styles as the only way. Close followers will know how much I like Stephen Cook's Eisenstone wines, and it was a pleasure to see Stephen on a brisk July day recently to see the ever-growing range of Barossan goodies.

Honest Generosity Captures Hearts And Souls
I’ve been talking about PR now as a focus, and I’m sharing with you there is really nothing better than philanthropy. In a time when everyone not connected to the stock market, seems to be suffering.
