Hallowi’ne in Cahors
Several years back I went to visit a majestic place in Cahors, Chateau Lagrezette, and had, well, a very significant ghost sighting that still raises the hair on my arms. This ran in Wine & Spirits magazine, October 2008. * The imposing Château Lagrezette castle, straight out of Sleeping Beauty central casting, is a little medieval, a little Renaissance, and really, not much rock ’n roll, except for its owner, the charismatic Alain Dominque Perrin, whom I had come to profile. It was June and the famed Cahors strawberries were out, as well as the last mushrooms of spring. I ate both greedily. I was to sleep in the moulin, a house recreated on top of a burned-down old watermill, just steps away from the castle. Sometime after the blackest part of the night, I woke up with a dog-like sense of danger. The small hairs stood up on my nape, and being fairly hairless by nature, I felt their effort. Something smelled off in that paradise, surrounded by vines and woods that commingled the fresh

The real story is beyond the numbers.
Robert M. Parker had only one thing in mind when he created the 100-point wine rating system: the ultimate, wine buying consumer—you and me. He designed a “school report card” rating system for us that was easy to understand and easier, yet, to utilize. It eliminated the angst and uncertainty of what to buy, and replaced it with confidence and certitude. I mean, really, what’s wrong about buying wines rated in the 90+ categories, even if you know absolutely nothing about the wine’s underlying grapes, the appellation or the producer? Read on. Parker’s tunnel vision (as he called it) focused on smell, taste and texture. That’s it! Details like the history of the area and the producer, or relevant social and cultural aspects were irrelevant. It was democratic and hedonistic. “Just the facts, Ma’am, just the facts” as Sergeant Joe Friday used to utter on the popular Dragnet TV series. Unfortunately, in Parker’s ratings, there were no

Evolution of a Palate. Part 2
At the end my previous article, I mentioned which red wines were delivering more overall pleasure than my previous favorites: wines with less intensity in color, aroma and flavor; those with less reliance on new oak; and others with a tad more palate-cleansing acidity. In a word, wines that are “lip smacking” good, aka delicious . But first, let’s revisit Cola, my very first and favorite, food-accompanying beverage, and why it never failed to satisfy. Beyond the seductive sweetness, the reason I (and likely you) loved Cola with cheeseburgers and French fries was because of the fizzy stuff. Acidity. Besides washing down the food, it did something else I didn’t fully appreciate: it cleansed my palate between bites (of all that artery clogging sludge), and prepped it for the next mouthful. Next, in my “ABC” Chardonnay phase, it didn't take long before I got jaded with the buttery, oak laden style. It was then, as I moved on to oak free whites like

Ask Adam: Is It True Only Cheap Sake Should Be Served Hot?
If you Google this question, the resounding answer you’ll find on the interwebs is that the only sake that should ever be heated is the cheap stuff, but that’s a misunderstood oversimplification of sake, borne from too many sake bombs consumed at chain hibachi restaurants.
