Interesting mismatch between what wine consumers say they want and the current fashion in wine production and commentary jancisrobinson.com/articles/lean-…
So interesting to see the 'cloches' anti-frost at Smith Haut-Lafitte this year - no environmental impact compared to the candles/smudge pots, from a company called Wine Protect.
Spent part of our anniversary at @FabbioliWines. Always love catching up with Doug, we never fail to learn something from him and his 2021 Petit Manseng was the perfect lobster roll pairing. #vawine
@janeansonwine Oh no! Looks like I got booted off their mailing list and didn’t hear about it. The Masterclass is sold out, but we’ve asked to be put on the waiting list. Funny, we’re going to the @ftweekend event earlier that day so, we’ll see you and @JancisRobinson in the same weekend!
I find it amazing that the Virginia Vineyards Association has been around for 40 years! That is not much younger than the rebirth of #vawine. Here’s to the next 40 years of guiding Virginia’s grape growers and winemakers 🍷!
@cuvee_corner@NapaValley Absolutely! And the same thing could be said about Bordeaux (except their restrictions are codified into law). New Zealand makes some of the best Sauvignon Blanc in the world, so they should celebrate that while also trying to get the message out that there are other wines 😃
