Timing is everything. Grapevines are hardy and can last without irrigation for many decades.

The entire Loire area includes numerous sub-districts, each with its own wine reputation. The most widely planted grape variety is chenin blanc.

It is not necessarily a contradiction in terms, but not all fine wine improves in the bottle.

Ask any winemaker or tasting room pourer: “Does your chardonnay have sugar in it?” Most will say “no” so fast you think you’re talking to a politician.

This is not the only nation that appreciates sweet beverages with savory foods, but we hugely adhere to that model.

Scientific papers show that moderate consumption of wine with food reduces the risk of heart disease.

Probably the most widely held notion by people who support natural wine is that it must not contain any sulfites.

For those who may have forgotten, “Sideways” was a popular film that caused many in the wine industry to convulse because of a single line of dialogue.

In recent decades, there has been a terrible trend among many “dry” wines to be “softened.”

Serious beer and wine lovers know that ice cold wipes out character.
