Odfjell Vineyards Organic Wines: The Little Things Keep Us Sane

We are living in a world where we are hit by tragedy after tragedy of unfair acts happening around the world every minute we turn on the TV or go on the internet. All of us are struggling to find that glimmer of hope each day that will give us the sense of peace to go on about our day but many of us are coming up short. Odfjell Vineyards is a great example of how we can take control of finding the harmony within ourselves by the choices we make each day

In the Wine Cellar There Is Always a Soul

“Many think of Georges Duboeuf, from Beaujolais, France, as a marketing genius bringing the celebratory energy of Beaujolais Nouveau, as well as his “Flower” wines and other neighboring producers, to countries all over the world, yet his true genius is rooted in his deep relationships with the people of the area and his desire to share the spirit of this special wine region with the world.”

The Inner Peace of Central Coast Wines from California

No matter where we live, there are always sacrifices that need to be made so that we can co-exist with the things and people that mean the most to us. But it is important for our own sense of balance and inner peace to occasionally connect with that which we sacrifice in our daily lives and keep such experiences close to our heart as we endure our everyday challenges

“You Always Had the Power” with Natural Wine Producers. The Case of Veneto

A visit in Veneto, Italy with one of the living legends of the natural wine world not only gave lessons on how we don’t need to be dependent on industrial products to survive but ultimately illustrated an overall deeper contemplation into the idea that everything we need is within all of us

Franciacorta Sparkling Wine: How to Turn Regrets into Opportunities

For many of us, regret is an overwhelming emotion that we battle our whole lives. It is a feeling that misleads us into thinking that we have no control over our happiness or sense of fulfillment. But there are those rare examples of people or even organizations, such as the Franciacorta association of sparkling wine producers in northern Italy, who show us that those regrets can be turned around to be potential opportunities

The New Balance of Australian Wines in the US: the Case of McGuigan

At one time Americans had an intense love affair with Australian wines that abruptly came to an end. But now the wines from down under have evolved with the times offering fresh, elegant libations instead of flabby, fruit-bombs. But are US consumers ready to move beyond the past and trust their own tastes when it comes to some of these producers introducing themselves back into our market?

Sicilian Wines Embracing Innovation while Respecting Tradition

The only way that most wine regions can keep up with global competition is by focusing on progress - although I feel that sometimes, in the name of improving the past, wine producers can lose those precious treasures that are the heartbeat of that area; it is nice to see wineries in Marsala significantly improving on tradition while staying true to their area’s heart

Sicily’s Pantelleria Island: Sweet Wines with Raw Beauty

I had been told by many Sicilian winemakers that either I will love Pantelleria or hate it as it is a place of extremes that could either bring tranquility or discord within one’s soul. But it had been a long time dream of mine to visit the island of Pantelleria: those who love Sicilian wines know very well that Donnafugata makes one of the greatest sweet wines in the world on this sparsely populated island

An Oregon Winery Surrenders to Life

What does it mean to have a life worth living? Does it mean we work on it, shape it, nurture it, and try to make the world a better place? Yes to all of those things but it can be exhausting to try to control it every second of the day; sometimes we fall into a dark spiral downwards when it doesn’t live up to expectations. Like some Oregon wine producers, sometimes it is better to surrender to the mysteries of life.

Bipartisan Agreement that Protects the Names of Wine Regions

The main reason why I keep falling in love over and over again with the wine world is because of the sense of a global community that is among those who appreciate well-made wines. It is a world that doesn’t offer riches except in the form of drink, food and community. In a modern politicized world, where too many people are just out for themselves, it comes down to wine producers to show Washington what the spirit of coming together looks like.
