The world (or someone in Germany) decided that today, March 13th, is Riesling's birthday (apparently the 1st mention in recorded history). How old is Riesling? 591 years young. That's a lot of candles. Definitely worth celebrating one of the world's greatest wine grapes. Cheers!

Innocent until proven guilty, and the old saw about being able to indict a ham sandwich notwithstanding.... this is pretty big for the wine world, and seems to anecdotally jive with what industry insiders have been saying for years... yahoo.com/news/articles/…

Oh! So sad to hear that author Dan Simmons passed away last week from a stroke at the age of 77. Hyperion is one of the greatest Science Fiction novels ever written, in my not-so-humble opinion. His talent will be missed. RIP.

So I didn't keep perfect track, but it looks to me from my notes that the Premiere Napa Valley Auction #pnv2026 raised about $2.7 million today, with an average per-case price of about $2250. That's significantly down (18.5%) from $3.3 million in 2025.

@themax_calder See previous replies to this thread. Most people other than the really big producers doing drier style these days.

@vinography 50 California Rieslings is a serious deep dive. Curious which regions stood out most to you. I've had some surprisingly good ones from the Santa Cruz Mountains but haven't explored broadly enough. Any producers doing a drier, more Alsatian style that caught your attention?

Tasting through more than 50 California Rieslings this afternoon - my deepest dive into the category ever - and very impressed with a number of wines. People are figuring this grape out.

If Epstein files can turn a prince into a former prince, and can turn a lord into a former lord, they can turn a president into a former president. If people can't unite over children being raped and abused there's no hope for humanity,

I'm among the hundreds of people laid off by The Post. This comes six months after hearing in a national meeting that race coverage drives subscriptions. This wasn't a financial decision, it was an ideological one.

@bonkowskimw It’s not about the etymology, it’s about the emotion of the sound. I guess blouge IS more rouge than blanc but I definitely don’t want a glass of something called blouge.

Wait, people are calling blends of red and white grapes "blouge" wines now? What the hell was wrong with blush, people? At least everyone can pronounce it correctly the first time! economist.com/culture/2026/0…
