Amazon's Exit From Wine Business Shouldn't Hurt Wineries' Online Sales October 26th The much-anticipated entrance of Amazon.com into the wine industry has come to an end before it ever got off the ground. The prospect of Amazon’s wine site sent a wave of excitement throughout the industry as small and medium sized domestic brands with limited distribution saw an opportunity to get exposure through Amazon’s enormous book of active customers.

The Blending Trials October 26th While I am a fan of Trader Joe’s and love their wine selection and prices, I find most of their private and one-off labeled wines to be deficient in at least one discreet way.

Free idea October 26th While looking at the back label of a wine my wife received in one of her club shipments, I recently learned about Boontling - the obscure American English dialect which has 1,300 unique words and originated in the 1800s in Anderson Valley’s Boonville.

One Barrel: Waiting for the yeast October 26th Two days after getting the grapes into the fermenter, I'm back to get some of the newly crushed juice over the top of the grape clusters.

97 Ounces of … Obscenity(?) October 26th It’s been a long time since any single wine label got as much press as the one above. We don’t want to rehash the Cycles Gladiator story yet one more time; it is well told here for example.

Russian wine gets real October 26th I feel rather ashamed of my recent trip to inspect vineyards in Russia. Firstly, and most unusually, I went at the invitation of some wineries there. I usually insist on paying my own way but my weekly employers at the Financial Times had no qualms about my being a guest in this, virtually uncharted, corner of the wine world where local knowledge is particularly usefu
