Today the Hereios of the We’re Here! Group are celebrating Cabernet Franc Day. And what more apt wine could there be for a trip into space? (Google Translate reckons that ‘solar viejo’ means ‘old lot’ in English, so nothing to do with a celestial body, unfortunately.)

This old wine press is preserved in a road median strip at our company headquarters, St. Helena, California. I’ve admired it for years – today seemed like a good day to capture it for We’re Here!.   Our unwitting host on 13 June 2018 is Battered Beauty.     Done Source : https://www.flickr.com/photos/solanosnapper/28913507798/in/[email protected]

In SevenFifty Daily, Sophia McDonald reports on the many ways winemakers are repurposing grape waste as a resource — discarded grape pomace, free-run press juice, and dropped fruit can all become key ingredients in other revenue-driving products, from cosmetics to vermouth. This week, it was confirmed that Moët-Hennessy, part of the LVMH luxury goods group, was buying Château Minuty, reports …

DAOU’s new Italian estate in Val d’Orcia, Tuscany. The new Daou Family estate has yet to be named but the purchase includes 70 hectares of land and an old farmhouse called Coroglie. Next month, the Daou brothers will plant 20 hectares of vines focusing on Bordeaux varietals Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. The vineyard will incorporate biodynamic principles, as …

The entrance to the Château Minuty estate. After years of rumour that Moët-Hennessy, part of the LVMH luxury goods group, was buying Château Minuty – and years of denial – the sale was officially announced on the final day of Wine Paris on Wednesday 15 February, creating a ripple of gossip, speculation and discussion around the fair. Throughout France, and …

The catch-all wine appreciation day, Global Drink Wine Day is held annually on 18th February. Familiar favourites like New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, Barolo or Argentinean Malbec might come to mind as your celebratory wine of choice – and there are many top examples to choose from when searching DWWA results – but to narrow down the selection, we have put …

But the winemakers behind these cuvées understand …

As wine regions across Europe grappled with a summer of severe drought and record-breaking temperatures, ultimately compromising the 2022 harvest with losses of up to 44%, the Toro DO brought in a record amount of grapes with quality to match quantity. Growers were cautiously optimistic earlier in the growing season but ultimately not surprised by the outstanding performance of their …

Not so long ago, gran reserva Rioja’s reputation was as bad as that of cream Sherry. That’s to say, tired wines drunk by elderly drinkers, blanketed (the wines, that is) in old or – in the case of Sherry – very old oak. Thankfully we are in a different world today. The best cream Sherries are deliciously silky treats, while …

From left: Matugga distillery founders Jacine and Paul Rutasikwa with their team. The world of rum is an exciting place to be at the moment, particularly when it comes to dark and spiced rums. A host of innovative players are developing new products, and there are a number of brand-new, craft producers opening up in unlikely, distinctly ‘un-rummy’ locations. It’s …
