Before Mount Etna became the darling of the Sicilian wine scene, there was Nero d’Avola. The indigenous red variety was all but synonymous with Sicilian wine — robust, reliable, usually inexpensive, and widely available. Since it was (and is) grown throughout the island, there was no shortage of it, and plenty to export. It had buzz in the United States. Nowadays, Nero d’Avola shares the Sicilian wine stage with Etna Rossos and Etna Biancos, which have gained well-deserved international...| VinePair
JUSTIN Vineyards & Winery was established in Paso Robles in 1981 with the aim of producing Bordeaux-style wines within California’s terroir. The winery’s current winemaker, Scott Shirley, actually started his career as a lab tech chemist in a winery during harvest, where, he explains, he “caught the bug.” From there, Shirley relocated to the Napa Valley to try his hand at winemaking, and remained there for 13 years. But when he got a call from Justin Baldwin, he fell in love with Paso...| VinePair
While reaching for another bite of the addictive salt and pepper tofu at Chinatown’s Tolo, a bottle perched on a shelf in the back caught the corner of my eye. The familiar light blue label was that of Domaine des Miroirs, a wine from France’s Jura region that’s notoriously difficult to find. I had seen this wine on display before. I remembered a singular light blue label peeking out from behind the curtain in the window of the now closed Gem Wine Bar. The article 2 Years, 10 Cities, an...| VinePair
Magnums, double magnums, jeroboams, imperials, nebuchadnezzars — large-format wine bottles are a great deal of fun. They not only provide ample opportunity to keep the party going, but they ensure the wine continues flowing with anywhere from twice as much to 20 times as much wine as a standard bottle. For certain styles of wine —Champagne, for example — large-format bottles like magnums are the ultimate size for enjoying the bubbly, as the oxygen-to-wine ratio is larger, thus preservin...| VinePair
The list of grapes winemakers can use to produce Champagne just got a little longer. On Thursday, the Comité Champagne — the joint trade organization representing growers and producers in the Champagne region — officially approved the use of Pink Chardonnay in Champagne production. The addition of Pink Chardonnay, or Chardonnay Rose, to the Champagne appellation specifications brings the total number of approved grapes to eight. Chardonnay Rose joins Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier...| VinePair
An article came out in The New York Times this week asking what can be done to save the “ailing” wine industry. In the column, there’s quite a distinction made between people who drink wine from a supermarket (i.e., the majority of wine drinkers) and more “geeky” wine drinkers. It’s not only tone deaf, but it starts a conversation about how to improve the wine industry with thoughts that some may find insulting.

Amy Racine fell in love with restaurants at a very young age. In North Canton, Ohio, where Racine is from, the hospitality industry she was exposed to in her youth was a simple one, but one she remembers fondly. Going out was always a special occasion, and wine was an integral part of it. “Growing up, it didn’t feel like wine was just a drink,” she says. “It was at the table with the food, it was a part of the conversation.

After years of working with wine in New York City restaurants, Chris Leon set out to open his own wine bar.

When staring at a wall of labels in a wine shop, it’s not always immediately clear who exactly is behind the wine. But if you’re looking for a bottle of Sonoma Pinot Noir or Chardonnay, chances are pretty high that winemaker Katy Wilson had something to do with it.

It all started with a salmon and a boot. Well, not quite, but sort of. Established in 2015, California’s Las Jaras was founded by winemaker Joel Burt and actor-comedian slash food enthusiast Eric Wareheim, who bonded over their shared love for food and wine when they met at a Malibu beach party a few years prior. “It’s a very L.A. story.

At the Vinitaly.USA conference in Chicago, Adam and Joanna received a question from someone working for a very well-known (and very successful) wine region. Despite this success, the person mentioned that wines from their region aren’t as well respected among sommeliers as they would like.

One of the great wines of Italy — and sometimes referred to as “the king of wines” — Barolo can be a bit intimidating. Unlike similarly famous regions like Chianti, there aren’t a lot of great entry-level bottlings to explore. And though the region can seem pretty straightforward — the wine goes by one name and is made with only one grape — there’s a lot of nuance to Barolo. That’s why taking the plunge into the world of Barolo can feel like a serious commitment, in both tim...| VinePair
Though California is home to several historic, beloved sparkling wine estates like Schramsberg and Domaine Carneros, U.S.-based brands never achieved the cult-level following of France’s top Champagne producers like Selosse or Salon.

The dazzling bottle, called Ultramarine, sparked a fervor among somms and collectors only typically seen for the hottest grower Ch...| VinePair
In the food industry, “eat this not that” is a common marketing strategy. In the wine world, though, it’s generally not great to bash mass-produced, supermarket wines when trying to market what might be a cleaner, lower-intervention wine from a smaller winery. But the parallels with food messaging are certainly there, so why doesn’t it work with wine? For one, it just isn’t good for the wine industry as a whole. Broadcasting that one wine is “good” and one wine is “bad” rein...| VinePair
Caymus Vineyards is one of the most contested names in American wine. Established in Rutherford, Calif., a sub-AVA of Napa Valley, in 1972, the winery was founded by the Wagner family, which had been growing and selling grapes to others in the region for decades. Practically immediately, the winery’s Cabernet Sauvignon rose in popularity. For that reason, Caymus made the decision to scale its wines to be available nationwide.

Chardonnay is one of the world’s most popular and coveted wines. As a Burgundian native, Chardonnay quickly earned a reputation for its finesse, elegance, and ability to distinctly reflect the region’s terroir. Today, drinkers clamor to get their hands on bottles from the region, where they’re labeled white Burgundy or Bourgogne Blanc. While Chardonnay is now grown all over the globe — it’s the world’s most planted white wine variety — its prestige can often lead to some steep p...| VinePair
When it comes to red wines, Alto Adige is a study in contrasts and possibilities. If you want to drink lighter, mineral-driven wines, turn to Schiava or Pinot Noir. For bigger, more robust reds, Lagrein is the answer. The region also grows small amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot — all within 15 or 20 minutes of one another. What’s notable about Alto Adige is the diversity to be found in one of Italy’s smallest wine regions, both in the red and white wines. By necessity, there is ...| VinePair
