The Corkscrew Concierge’s August 2025 (In)Conspicous Consumption + Austrian Wine Spotlight
It's been a minute since I've written anything. I'd even sworn off social. To be honest, I was just tired of it. Between the death of my cousin who was like a sister to me, only 53, and like a 3rd parent to Thing 1 and Thing 2 (it’s been so hard for them), to totaling my car and the immense guilt associated with my son having some minor injuries, to so many other things that all seemed to crop up at once, I was numb. Lost. Listless. I literally was going through the motions, not wanting to do anything. I kept feeling this "responsibility" to The Corkscrew Concierge, which in and of itself was a problem. This was supposed to be a fun, creative outlet. But it had started to feel like work. I was uninspired. And then I was like "eff" this too. I seriously thought about just pulling the plug, but then decided to give it some time... And here we are again. I’ve again found some inspiration, some thoughtfulness. So what have we been drinking? Some good stuff. And interestingly enough, much o

Lodi Wine History: The Making of California's Most Dynamic Wine Region
Kerne Erickson 's artistic vision of the bucolic Lodi AVA and the region's signature, deep-rooted valley oak, native to the appellation's deep, rich sandy loam soils As we celebrate California Wine Month this September, there's no better time to dive into the rich history of grape growing and wine production in one of the state's most significant appellations. The Lodi American Viticultural Area stands as a testament to the evolution of California winemaking, transforming from a single designation in 1986 to a complex system of seven nested sub-appellations by 2006. This comprehensive exploration, originally authored by renowned wine journalist Randy Caparoso, traces the fascinating journey of how Lodi earned federal recognition as an AVA and subsequently subdivided into distinct terroir-driven regions. From the initial 85,000-acre appellation to the sophisticated understanding of microclimates that led to the Mokelumne River, Clements Hills, and five other sub-AVAs, this is the story

Mandatory EFT is Coming Before You know It! Are You Ready?
We first addressed California’s new mandatory electronic fund transfer requirements in November of 2024 here. Implementation is now a little over 3 months away (January 1, 2026) so the time has come to refresh those licensees subject to the new regulations (primarily retailers, wholesalers and those wineries and importers selling domestic or imported beer, wine or spirits under California Type 17 and 18 licenses). Because of the ambiguity of the underlying statute, and the prohibition on accepting payment from a retailer by legal tender (cash or check, except in limited circumstances), we’ve been getting many questions about the practical implications and interpretation of the new statutory requirements. While this blog post addresses some of the follow-up issues, we are sure that as the regulations are implemented, there will be more questions, consternation by some, and frustration by many.
