I was very happy to read Wine Spectator’s recent reviews of California Pinot Noir. In that report, Loring, A.P. Vin, P2 and Siduri (along with a few others) received outstanding to classic ratings on a bunch of their 2007 Pinots. Read more

Posted: 01:47 PM ET, 12/29/08
I am in La Quinta, Calif., visiting my mother with my two children for Christmas break. It seems like the middle of nowhere, unless you are ancient or like playing golf. The desert mountains are beautiful. And I love talking to my mother and my 100-year-old grandmother. Read more

The Future of Futures in Bordeaux
Posted: 10:33 AM ET, 12/23/08
When I was in Bordeaux last week tasting a couple hundred 2006s, wine producers and wine merchants alike were debating whether to sell their newest wines en primeur or as futures. That’s when the wines are sold while they are still in barrel, about eight to 10 months after the harvest, for delivery after they are in bottle. Read more

I’ve been in the wine business, in one position or another, for 19 years now. I’ve worked in wine retail, in wine wholesale, selling wine in a restaurant, in tasting rooms, as a wine writer and now as a winery owner and winemaker. Read more

Richard Geoffroy Introduces Two New Vintages of Dom Pérignon
Posted: 03:55 PM ET, 12/19/08
Perhaps no winemaker analyzes his wines like Richard Geoffroy, chef de cave of Moët & Chandon’s Cuvée Dom Pérignon. Even he says he has analyzed it "like a psychiatrist putting it on a couch."
Perhaps because he trained as a medical doctor, he casts a more empirical eye toward his work. Read more

Posted: 01:26 PM ET, 12/19/08
Note: Back when I reviewed them, I set aside a few wines to taste when they are more mature. In this occasional series I report on wines from the cellar that I probably should have tried earlier, but thought them worth a shot anyway. Read more

One of the most popular subjects of this week’s trip to Bordeaux is the Bernard Madoff scandal. Sure, we've talked about wine (particularly 2006, because I am tasting the vintage from bottle), as well as the grim economy and the change in politics. Read more
