Pernod Ricard Denies Any Wrongdoing Pernod Ricard had filed an application seeking an opportunity to present its case before any investigation was ordered. The Commission, however, rejected the request, stating that the material on record was sufficient to form a prima facie opinion warranting investigation and that a preliminary hearing was not necessary

Pinot Noir from 'one of ' the world's most southern vineyards
Central Otago is a wine buzzword (or two, as the case happens to be here) for Pinot Noir from an edgy environment with a cool climate, dry soils and high volume of vineyard area (and wine) devoted to Pinot Noir.This week I dived into a three year old wine from a vineyard that “was” considered to be the most southern in the world and is also situated in the most eastern of Central Otago’s wine growing areas at a latitude of 45.25 degrees south. The wine is Grasshopper Rock Block 2 Pinot Noi...

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.
