Washington wine growers endured a minor scare beginning Monday night, September 22, through the morning of Tuesday the 23rd. Temperatures dipped dangerously close to freezing just before sunrise Tuesday, with potentially serious consequences, considering how much fruit remains to be harvested. Read more

Posted: 03:27 PM ET, 09/23/08

Taking a Retour
Posted: 08:43 AM ET, 09/23/08
For those of us who appreciate a good Oregon Pinot Noir, it's frustrating that so many of the better ones are made in such small quantities. Not only are they hard to find in a wine shop, you also just can't expect to see them on any normal restaurant wine list. Read more

Great Grenache is Hard to Find
Posted: 11:19 AM ET, 09/22/08
I have fallen back in love with Grenache. In the 1980s when I lived in Paris, I used to regularly go to the Southern Rhône and visit Châteauneuf producers from Beaucastel to Rayas to Telegraphe.
