Monty Python on Aussie wines
2008-08-07 21:05:00 A lot of people in this country pooh-pooh Australian table wines. This is a pity, as many fine Australian wines appeal not only to the Australian palette, but also to the cognoscenti of Great Britain. "Black Stump Bordeaux" is rightly praised as a peppermint flavoured Burgundy, whilst a good "Sydney Syrup" can rank with any of the world's best sugary wines. "Chateau Bleu", too, has won many prizes; not least for its taste, and its lingering afterburn. "Old Smokey, 1968" has been compared favourably to a Welsh claret, whilst the Australian wino society thoroughly recommends a 1970 "Coq du Rod Laver", which, believe me, has a kick on it like a mule: 8 bottles of this, and you're really finished -- at the opening of the Sydney Bridge Club, they were fishing them out of the main sewers every half an hour. Of the sparkling wines, the most famous is "Perth Pink". This is a bottle with a message in, and the message is BEWARE!. This is not a wine for drinking -- this is a wine for lay...

Psychology tricks and increased spending ? The Case of Expensive Wines
2008-05-31 14:10:00 Our psychology is terribly easy to trick. We?re actually pretty good at it ourselvesIn each and every day of our lives we are bombarded with psychological tricks and quirks which have one goal: Make us spend more.Advertisements take many forms and influence us both at a conscious and a subconscious level. However, every now and then a consumer research appears. It?s always rare, small and hard to find due to certain conflicting interests of the media but they always teach us valuable lessons.This time the NY Times (Arik Asimov) gets the credit for giving a stage to a new research on the American wine consumer which I find fascinating.Wine connoisseurs and the image of the Nuevo richWine is probably the drink most associated with good living, refined palate and the upper classes (we?ll discuss associations in advertising in the near future). There are reasons why wine is portrayed and marketed as such a complicated product with infinite grape types, vineyards, years of aging, complic...

Alba Wines Exhibition: prime impressioni su Roero e Barbaresco
2008-05-08 00:00:00 Come vi avevo preannunciato, questa mattina è iniziata la nuova avventura di Alba Wines Exhibition, manifestazione giunta alla sua tredicesima edizione che ha lo scopo di presentare alla stampa e agli operatori di settore le nuove annate di Roero, Barbaresco e Barolo.Quest'anno sono di scena il Roero e il Barbaresco 2005, il Barolo 2004.La mattinata di oggi abbiamo iniziato con 11 Roero, poi 3 Barbaresco di Alba (San Rocco Seno d'Elvio), 23 Barbaresco del comune omonimo, 3 provenienti da vigneti situati a Barbaresco, Neive e Treiso, 26 interamente da Neive, per un totale di 65 campioni.Come sempre la degustazione si è svolta bene, senza intoppi, in condizioni di luce ottimali (nell'ideale collocazione del Palazzo Mostre e Congressi di Alba) e con un servizio sommelier efficiente.L'annata 2005 ha avuto un andamento piuttosto irregolare e differenziato da zona a zona, soprattutto nel periodo estivo che ha prodotto risultati di forte siccità in alcune aree e violenti temporali...
Wine In Moderation Does The Body Good
2008-05-06 00:26:00 Gary Vaynerchuk (VAY NER CHUK), a 32 year old self-trained wine expert who is revolutionizing the wine industry. His webcast, The Thunder Show, on WineLibrary attracts over 60,000 viewers each day and his email queue typically holds 1,000 messages from obsessed fans, self-named “Vayniacs." Gary’s cult-like following is the result of his unconventional, often irreverent commentary on wine. He routinely pans popular wines (even ones he sells at his 3-story New Jersey store, Wine Library). He interrupts his webcasts with rants about his beloved New York Jets. This is not your typical wine expert. As the youngest winner of Marketwatch’s Business Award, Market Watch Leader at 27 and his first book coming out this spring--101 Wines Guaranteed To Inspire, Delight, and Bring Thunder To Your World, Gary Vaynerchuk is an icon in his industry.

Keep your best wines in a cellar online
2008-05-04 07:12:00 [img]http://www.mendozaesvino.c-om.ar/blog/files/818900.jpg[/im-g] Have you ever you went from uncorking a very good wine that came keeping long for a special occasion, and then when you opened was chopped? Save good wines at home is not an easy task, if the aim is to preserve them for a long time. It takes a specially conditioned space (if a basement, the better) where the temperature is kept between 12 degrees and 14 degrees and humidity of 85% remain unchanged, something that is not so easy to get. Therefore, to maintain these conditions unchanged, a Spanish company offers a service care in champagne wines, which can be administered via computer. The company Pinkleton Wine and is responsible for retaining 700 bottles of 30 customers, who pay between 50 and 150 dollars a month according to how many bottles to observe and time of delivery, according to the newspaper Cinco Dias slogan. Each client can, through the website of the company, manage their private digs, maintain records ...

Torna Alba Wines Exhibition, l'immancabile appuntamento con i grandi nebbio
2008-05-04 00:00:00 Non c'è niente da fare, almeno in Italia non c'è un'altra manifestazione enoica dedicata alla stampa italiana ed estera in grado di competere con quella organizzata dall'Unione Produttori Vini Albesi con il fondamentale supporto dell'agenzia Well Com e degli impeccabili sommelier della Delegazione AIS di Alba.Giunta alla tredicesima edizione, quest'anno ci propone dal 7 all'11 maggio le nuove annate di Roero e Barbaresco 2005 e di Barolo 2004. Due annate che promettono molto, anche se sulla carta è la 2004 del Barolo ad attirare di più l'attenzione. Il nebbiolo però ci insegna che segue una sua logica, sa giocare bene con il tempo, pertanto sarebbe sbagliato sottovalutare la 2005, che sicuramente offrirà dei Barbaresco e Roero meno opulenti, forse anche meno pronti, ma che, ne sono convinto, con il tempo daranno ottimi risultati.Una interessante novità che va ad arricchire la già avvincente kermesse, merito anche della volontà dell'organizzazione di venire incontro alle pro...

Meeting New Wines
2008-05-01 13:57:00 On our second day in Sonoma, we were lucky enough, as I've mentioned before, to have Patrick of Iridesse Wines showing us around. The second stop of the day was to a group of wineries who share space in the same building complex that I likely would never have found without his guidance. We had intended to go to several of the wineries in the space, but after the first, got a phone call and took a detour for a private tasting over at Michel Schlumberger. Prior to knowing of our detour, Patrick directed Matt, Russ, and I into Camellia Cellars to taste some excellent wines, where we also got to meet the owner!We tasted through their whole line up (and more, including some wine that won't be released until this fall and came away very happy!2007 First Kiss: $22, Proprietor's Blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Muscat, and Viognier, 12.7% alcohol by volume.

Rolling 2004 Cabernet-Merlot Australia
2008-04-23 02:59:00 It?s a wine that could go either way as far as sipping vs. dinner. Enough taste to enjoy, enough acidity/tannins for a dinner of your choice. And it?s a wine better than the Chardonnay version. read more
Gala Rouge 2006 Pinot Noir France
2008-04-21 23:31:00 It?s biggest failing is, except for the tannins and acidity, a certain lack of intensity for this wine. Good for dinner, but probably not really for sipping. Better choices might be the 2006 Pizza Vino, the 2005 Lorval, the 2005 Tortoise Creek and the 2006 Arrow Creek. One from Calinfornia, the rest from France. read more
Rolling 2005 Chardonnay Australia
2008-04-21 00:41:00 Well, Rolling does exactly that. It rolls, but mostly downhill. A wine that?s better suited to dinner (just barely) than sipping (just barely). It?s one wine you might skip, as there are other better choices out there. read more

ND Wines are produced under the direction of French wine maker Mr. Jean Manual Jacquinot.
