Like I did in the fruit and veg aisle, it’s easy to feel hopeless in the face of climate change. But as conservationist Jake Fiennes says in his book Land Healer (BBC Books, June 2022): ‘We don’t need to throw up our hands in horror and resign ourselves to disaster.’ With a little effort and small changes, we can steer …

I’ve decided to briefly use the best press releases coming to me each week, from all over the world. They’re great stories, and someone took a lot of time to craft them. They mostly fall on deaf ears, and I know that because I am publicist. I also know that when it hits the right […] The post Best Press …

A Los Angeles return: After a four-year hiatus, acclaimed restaurant Somni is reopening in West Hollywood, Calif. Somni (meaning “dream” in Catalan) was founded by chef Aitor Zabala and culinary leader and humanitarian José Andrés in 2018; despite being limited to just 10 guests each service, the restaurant rapidly grew in popularity. It also earned Wine Spectator’s Award of Excellence …

The post “City of 1,000 Horizons” (Postcard from Asolo Prosecco Superiore Part 1: Masterclass) appeared first on 1 Wine Dude. During the 4th of July festivities in the States, I had the good fortune to take part in a media tour of a region I’ve long longed (see what I did there?) to visit: Italy’s Asolo Prosecco Superiore. I’ve written …

The best examples of Moscato d’Asti offer an array of aromas including fresh grapes, fleshy citrus, roses and jasmine. And on the palate, their sweetness is balanced by an acid …

The Rieslingfreak team The idea of Rieslingfreak seems absurd – an Australian winery that produces only Riesling wines, and up to 19 styles each vintage that focus on various different sites, blends and winemaking techniques. However, the execution of this grand idea over the past 15 years by husband-and-wife winemaking team John and Belinda Hughes shows a spark of focused …

I peeked inside during my daily walk down Franklin Avenue, and I was pleasantly surprised. For me the ambience was everything. The decor, the candlelit tables, art and photography lining the walls–as well as bookshelves for the intellectuals. Creating an atmosphere for conversation as well as drinks.   Crown Heights,BK Done Source : https://www.flickr.com/photos/jaygeeoh/54036829461/in/pool-17918700@N00

Vineyards in Jura, France. Paul Bonin headed to his vineyard in Gevingey to give the vines their first cut, but he was shocked to find that they had been stripped of their grapes. The 48-year-old winemaker initially suspected that birds had devoured the grapes while he slept, but he then realised that he had fallen victim to burglary. ‘Friends showed …

Harvest at Alexandre Bonnet, Les Riceys. As much of France reels from one of the toughest growing seasons of recent times, Champagne was still holding on to some quiet optimism as harvest continued through September. Quiet, that is, because yields are low and maturity unpredictable. Optimistic, though, because outside of the Aube in Champagne’s south, Reims and the Marne Valley …

When the final paddle was raised at the newly christened Sonoma County Wine Celebration and live auction last month, the Sonoma County Vintners Foundation (SCVF) had raised nearly $1.6 million for local charities. That’s up from last year’s $1.3 million total. The three-day event, which included a welcome reception and country-themed party, culminated with the live auction on Sept. 21, …

Of course we had to scoop up this new Barolo the minute we saw it, especially at that $23.99 price point. That puts it in striking range of the always amazing, and fan favorite, Kirkland Barolo which is $19.99. Sometimes these inexpensive Barolos can be hit or miss, and luckily this one turned out to … Source : https://costcowineblog.com/2019-cascina-boschetti-gomba-barolo/
