Sallier de la Tour: A Historic Sicilian Estate Committed to Sustainability
The Wining Hour: History of the Estate Sallier de La Tour, home to the La Monaca winery, near Palermo, Sicily, traces its origins to 1909. The history is most fascinating. Its story intertwined with another influential Sicilian wine family in 1956, when Paolo Sallier de La Tour married Costanza Tasca d’Almerita. The winery historically cultivated Sicilia’s native grape varieties, as well as carefully selected international grapes. However, Filiberto, Paolo’s son, later steered the estate toward exploring the potential of Syrah in the island’s unique terroir. In 2008, the estate became part of the broader holdings of the historic Tasca d’Almerita family, which took stewardship of the property. Since then, the estate has balanced noble heritage with modern winemaking and sustainability, honoring both land and legacy. Terroir Tenuta Sallier de la Tour is within the Monreale DOC in northwest Sicily, a landscape where Mediterranean sun, sea breezes, and varied soil types give grapes a uniqu

Wenzel Distillery Sherry Barrel Finished Bourbon, Batch 2
I’d like to thank Wenzel Distillery and their PR team for providing this sample with no strings attached. As I am an old man, I know a lot of old songs. And as much as it pains me to realize this, the 1980s were 40 years ago. Which is an objectively long time. There was an old song by a band called Cinderella, that was popular when I was a young lad titled Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone). And we are living that in the BourbonGuy household this week. We recently got new neighbors on one side of our house. We live in a tightly packed neighborhood, but what made it lovely were all the trees in everyone’s yards. It made it easy to pretend that our houses were further apart than they really were. Well, this week, the new neighbors to the south took down their three extremely large maples. Which sucked for us since they provided shade and, more importantly, privacy from the neighbors beyond them. It was sad and has us trying to figure out how to replace the effect. But it does provi

Il vino delle isole minori: storie di resistenza, vento e sale
Il fascino della viticoltura marina risiede nella capacità di raccontare storie di resistenza, vento e sale attraverso un calice di vino. Le isole minori del Mediterraneo custodiscono un patrimonio enologico straordinario, dove la vite è il simbolo di un’alleanza secolare tra l’uomo e una natura tanto spettacolare quanto impervia. In questi ecosistemi delimitati dal mare, […] L'articolo Il vino delle isole minori: storie di resistenza, vento e sale proviene da La Stanza del vino .

The Rich Range of Sauvignon Blanc Expressions in New Zealand Is Underrated
by Andrew ChalkOn the WSET (Wine & Spirits Education Trust) Level 3 blind tasting exam, it is quite likely the white wine to be tasted is a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. The island country sits alone in the South Pacific Ocean and has developed its wine industry with a singular cast of mind. Sauvignon Blanc is widely grown and, in stereotypical parlance, produces wines of vibrant acidity, citable citrus fruits, and herbaceous aromatic notes. This Occum’s Razor will not just pin down the Kiwi wine

Champagne Billecart-Salmon
Here are the stunning 2013 new releases by Champagne Billecart-Salmon. With great pleasure I share the wines of Billecart-Salmon one of the outstanding smaller producers in Champagne. They control an estate of 100 hectares, obtaining grapes from an area spanning 300 hectares across 40 crus of the Champagne region. The majority of the grapes used for vinification come from a radius of 20km around Epernay, where the Grand Crus of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay co-exist, in the vineyards of the Montagne de Reims, the Vallée de la Marne and the Côte des Blancs. Now in its seventh generation, the house was initially formed with the marriage of 1818 when Nicolas François Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon in 1818. This remains a family winery since the beginning with Louis Salmon, brother of Elisabeth and a passionate oenologist, getting involved in the creation of the wines. They have a range of wines including their flagship ‘Nicolas Billecart’ and the two world-class champagnes
