Four Israeli Wines Rooted in Faith, Heritage and History
Just when we were ready to throw in the towel and choose another Chardonnay or Pinot Noir to sip with dinner, the Israeli Wine Producers Association (IWPA) graciously sent to me (as samples) four bottles of intriguing wines. Thank you! It has been quite a while since I have had wines from Israel and I […] READ MORE The post Four Israeli Wines Rooted in Faith, Heritage and History appeared first on Grape Experiences .

Cats ears
A laundry list of recent bottles. Dreaming of White Burgundy . Giaconda Chardonnay 2023 . Pale. 13.5% Emphatic but fine; power with grace. Almond meal, fabric softener and something struck. Compelling. Terrific poise and grip. No half measures or doubt here. A+ The 2016 tasting note. 2019 Dexter Chardonnay . Mornington. A poised and polished example. Confident, tanned, but perhaps too conformist. Ripe. Flinty and essence like. Globular texture. Bindi Quartz Chardonnay 2021 . A very sharp wine. Maybe the best Bindi I’ve had in recent (5 years) time. It must be near its peak. . . Juicy, bright, cordite and flint, stone fruit. Super tight, lean, long. Sadly my last bottle. . . Before . A+ Houghton EV 37 Old Vine Chenin blanc 2023 . With my blind tasting blinkers on, I feel no shame in calling this a Chardonnay. Whole bunches, wild yeast, old barrel fermentation, battonage. . . An excellent nod and wink to Jack Mann and his 1937 creation - the Houghton

Merlot On My Mind
Being obsessed over a grape lately? I have. Not even sure why, but I have. Merlot had been on my mind. Why Merlot? Why now? I don’t know. I’m sure something triggered it, but I really have no clue as to what and why. Merlot’s name might not be around since the 13th century as […]

A Tour of Wine Grapes: Silvaner
Silvaner 🥂 Photo by Agnes27 on Wikimedia Commons Silvaner is an ancient white grape variety that originated in Austria. It is a natural cross between Traminer and Österreichisch-Weiß. From Austria, it spread to Germany, where it dates back to 1659 with plantings in Franconia. By the mid-twentieth century, it covered over thirty percent of Germany's total vineyard land, making it the country's most widely planted grape before declining in the 1970s. Today, Silvaner is primarily grown in Germany, particularly the Franconia and Rheinhessen regions, as well as in the Alsace region of France and the Valais canton of Switzerland. Cuttings of Silvaner were brought to the United States in 1858 and planted in California. A notable detail about the grape is its traditional packaging in Franconia, where top-quality Silvaner is bottled in a distinct, flattened green flask known as a Bocksbeutel rather than a tall wine bottle. Common aromas and flavors include green orchard fruits like pear and ap

🎧They Make Sparkling Wine in England?!?
We know what you’re thinking. There’s no way they can make wine in England. We thought the same thing too, but here’s the deal. They are making some killer wine, especially sparkling wine, in England. Don’t believe it?!? Then you must listen to this episode. Once the butt of jokes, British wine is getting a reputation for excellence that is surprising both professionals and regular drinkers all over the world. There are a few factors that play into this rise of British bubbly that we discuss, including the impact of climate change, and the common soil they share with Champagne. Yes, that Champagne! While not the cheapest option, which is why we only tasted and reviewed one wine in this episode, you may be very surprised to find what a great option it is. Plus, in our wine in the news this week, we tell you what happens when a wasp, a badger, and a goose walk into a vineyard.
