By Richard D. Harroch and Dominique A. Harroch Introduction on Choosing the Perfect Wine Picking the right wine can feel overwhelming when you’re staring at rows of bottles at the local wine shop. Whether you’re planning a dinner party for four, buying a gift for your in-laws, or just looking to try something new, the process doesn’t have to be intimidating. From taste preferences to pairings and budgets, there are lots of ways to find a wine that works for you without overthinking it. ...| AllBusiness.com
Merlot has a rich history, with the earliest mention of the grape noted in Bordeaux in 1784. But in our modern wine drinking era, the variety’s reputation has been on a roller coaster of social acceptance. Merlot went from being abundant to awkwardly ignored after one infamous line screeched by Paul Giamatti’s character in the 2004 movie “Sideways.” But the grape still remains important to the world of wine and shouldn’t be overlooked. It’s been making excellent wine since at leas...| VinePair
Rich, bold, and full of flavor, Port wine brings a touch of warmth and tradition to the glass.

Two weeks ago, canned wine brand Archer Roose announced that it is entering a partnership with Buffalo Wild Wings and will stock its products at over 1,200 locations nationwide. Although wine and sports bars may seem like an unlikely pairing, perhaps there is some untapped potential here. That said, bringing wine into sports bar beverage programs will likely not be as straightforward as adopting by-the-glass pours. Need we remind you of the increased risk of glass breakage and bottles going b...| VinePair
Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the most prestigious grape varieties on the market today, with many wine enthusiasts and collectors vying to get their hands on the most coveted bottles. At the same time, Cab is the most planted wine grape on the planet and one of the most commonly found wines on the market. So in a sea of Cabernet Sauvignons, it’s important to know where to look to find a truly great example. Though the grape originally comes from southern France, winemakers across the globe a...| VinePair
Picture this: You’re out for drinks with friends and someone orders a bottle of wine, only when it arrives, it smells kind of off and doesn’t taste quite right. “I think it might be cooked,” your friend says, still swirling the wine around in their glass.

To find out more about what it means when a wine is “cooked,” as well as how to prevent bottles from succumbing to this fate, we spoke with sommelier and founder of BABE wine bar Ren Peir...| VinePair
Despite what the powers that be might tell us, there are no hard and fast rules dictating how and when to enjoy wine. Once you buy a bottle, it’s yours, and you can drink it in any context you wish. That said, it is true that the seasons often dictate the wine styles we gravitate toward at any given time. In the summer, it’s typically rosé and high-acid, crisp white wines. In the winter, it’s usually full-bodied, cozy reds. The article Wine 101: PSA: Do It ALL In Fall appeared first on...| VinePair
When it comes to oysters, which have been all the rage in restaurants for years now, the mineral-driven Chardonnays of Chablis and the nervy Muscadets of the Loire Valley have been go-to wine pairings. But there’s another excellent choice, also from France, that’s under the radar: Picpoul de Pinet. For those unfamiliar, Picpoul, or Piquepoul as it’s sometimes spelled, is the name of the grape.

All too often, when the world’s white cult wines are lined up, Burgundy, and its star grape Chardonnay, steal the show. Even beyond the Côte de Beaune — from Sonoma to South Africa to Australia — Chardonnay remains the most celebrated white variety in the world. Frankly, it’s gotten a bit boring. So for this list, Chardonnay is out. The article The Prized White Wines Collectors Covet Most — That Aren’t Chardonnay appeared first on VinePair.| VinePair
As one of Napa Valley’s most coveted wines, a bottle of Screaming Eagle will set you back thousands of dollars. And if you want to avoid the price gouging of the secondary market, you might have to wait a decade to even join the formal waiting list, just for the chance to empty your pockets. But in a region filled with award-winning bottles, how exactly did this small producer gain its cult-level status?

Pinot Noir is notoriously one of the most challenging grapes to cultivate, but if there’s a state with near-perfect conditions for doing so, it’s Oregon. Most of the Pinot Noir coming from the state is produced in the Willamette Valley, a region just south of Portland that spans roughly 150 miles. Given its size, the Willamette Valley has a multitude of soils, each of which produces a very distinct style of Pinot Noir characteristic of the region.

Iron Butterfly’s 1968 hit “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” is a simple, somewhat nonsensical, and exhausting tune. Clocking in at just over 17 minutes, it has just one verse and chorus, with only nine lines of lyrics for the whole song. The vast majority of the track consists of longwinded guitar, drum, and organ solos. Yet, the song’s catchy, hypnotic bass line and mysterious title have made it both a signature anthem of the psychedelic era and Iron Butterfly’s only hit single. The article How...| VinePair
Nearly two weeks ago, wine influencer Pilar Brito took to her Substack to say that the wine industry desperately needs snobs and that “the hyper-accessability trend is bad for the wine industry.” Although grocery store wines like Yellow Tail, Barefoot, and Apothic may steal marginal market share from smaller premium brands, bringing back snobbery will likely do more harm than good. The industry has long been plagued by an air of elitism and gatekeeping that deters casual drinkers from exp...| VinePair
Keith was recently tasting through some Italian wines with VinePair CEO Adam Teeter when they opened a bottle of 1974 Barolo. Though they were excited to try a wine at such a substantial age, the experience was a bit of a letdown. Despite decanting the bottle and revisiting the wine countless times in a 24-hour period, it failed to open up. The point? “Old” doesn’t always translate to “good” in the wine world. When a wine is young and fresh, it has plenty of phenolics still interact...| VinePair
The once-obscure (and slightly frowned upon) concept of chilling red wine is now undoubtedly a full-blown category. The popular new style of “chillable reds” has gained favor with wine pros and casual drinkers alike over the past several years for its juicy, easy-drinking profile. And with this newfound popularity, there are more chillable reds to explore than ever before. When the category first took off, many looked to regions and varieties historically associated with cool-climate, lig...| VinePair
There is a lot of talk about the state of the wine industry right now. AI is allegedly making some restaurants’ wine lists. Gallup polls say consumption is down. Climate change is making it increasingly difficult for winemakers to actually produce wine.

There’s perhaps one major question to ask yourself before you do: Why do you want to work in w...| VinePair
