As European Wine Tariff War Comes to a Head, We Worry About American Businesses

The threat of the US imposing 100% tariffs on European goods such as wine and olive oil is still alive. These tariffs could possibly go through before February 15th. Should this happen, they will likely destroy many small American businesses as well as hurt the American economy and American wineries.

Many Paths Can Lead to A Great Life, and There Are Many Ways to Make a Great Wine

All of the different sections of the vineyards at Campogiovanni looked different; how the vines were spaced, how they were trellised, how densely they were planted. At one moment Leonardo was pointing to vines that were over 50 years old and the next he was motioning at those that were planted in 1986, or in 2008, or even others that were just recently planted.

Pinot Wines from the Volcanic Soils of Germany

Arne talked about the patience of the area of Burkheim and the knowing wisdom that it is better to see how things settle instead of to jump to a bad decision, even if it means that it will take a couple of generations to see the benefits. He spoke about fighting the push to plant more Pinot Noir instead of the whites like Pinot Gris or Pinot Blanc because of a trend towards warmer weather despite Baden being recently hit by a few cool vintages too...

Bringing Success Back Home with Campania Wines

There are many impressive things about Giuseppe Pagano and his wine company, San Salvatore--a winery 100% powered by solar panels; their constant drive to lower CO2 emissions; their use of wine boxes made from recycled paper; the fact that they provide restaurants and a local luxury beach hotel with the variety of organic produce that they grow--among others. But the one thing that outdoes them all is the location of their vineyards within the UNESCO site, the Cilento National Park. The park is surrounded by the Tyrrhenian Sea with San Salvatore’s vineyards sitting amongst forests, ancient olive trees, and volcanic rocks shooting up from the earth.

Bordeaux Wines: The Vintages That Almost Break Us, Help To Shape Us

Those sections of our lives that we consider the good times are not the ones that typically shape our lives in the most profound ways, but it is those sections of our lives that bring us to our knees and challenge us in every way that can not only bring meaning to our lives, but also make us better. The same can be said for the varying vintages of the classic wine region of Bordeaux.

The Italian Rosato (Rosé): How Native Grapes Are Finding New Life

Drinking wine doesn’t always coincide with our politics, and our politics can be enriched if we take the time to think about our choices in wine. There is no better wine to get us there than Italian rosé (rosato) wines with their serenity balanced with generosity and the array of diversity of grapes and styles.

Venice and Loredan Gasparini Winery: A Gateway for Artistic Freedom

The unique history of Venice’s leadership has made it, for centuries, a hotbed for creativity, a sanctuary for refugees and allowed outlying vineyards to experiment to find various expressions of different terroirs. One winery was able to show that a well-known sparkling wine area was able to make a red Bordeaux blend to take the world by storm.
