Wow is there a vintage more closed than 2016 Bdx? Totally and utterly locked up. Throw away the key folks, at any level, you’re going to need another ten years. We’re dealing with another 2005 here.


What a tough spring for growers in Europe. So much rain and mildew. Even more than last year, which seemed impossible. And hail in places. Fingers crossed for a calm summer. Either way, expect another year of low yields ☹️


After 22 years, we are back!!!


Might as well give up drinking Champagne. Total garbage 😂

The regional distribution of the wines awarded 100-point scores in 2023, which are spread across five countries, is interesting. Discover more: bit.ly/3Msaq9R

The slow death, by suicide, of independent wine criticism is one of the most unexpected and dispiriting legacies of the post-Parker era

Bernard Burtschy, Colin Hay, Chris Kissack, Jeff Leve and Richard Hemming among the first journalists to work with Editions Feret to be paid to taste wines for client chateaux, as Feret looks to develop new revenue streams and offer extra services.



Appreciating amaro really helps you understand Italian red wines!


Both this and Chateau Ste Michelle's 40% reduction in grape purchasing are two sides of the same coin: recognition that sub $10/bt volumes are in (permanent?) decline and the resultant need to premiumize. winebusiness.com/news/article/2…


2019 Bordeaux is now available in the US. Just for fun I compared release prices (spring 2020) to approximate current market (mid w-s US retail). If you want to know why 2022 Bdx are so expensive, it's bc the Bordelais REALLY didn't want to underprice their wines again 😉

“European Commission data for the year to June shows that wine consumption has fallen 7% in Italy, 10% in Spain, 15% in France, 22% in Germany and 34% in Portugal, while wine production across the bloc - the world's biggest wine-making area - rose 4%.” And US ⬇️ by 9%! 🚨🚨🚨

France to spend €200m destroying wine as demand falls bbc.in/3E9VSqO



Just incredible data from a country that many thought would power the wine industry in the 21st century. Thank you @wineecon

Bordeaux 1982 to 2001 should be more appropriately called, the brett era. Tell me I’m wrong .


Didn’t realize it would be this soon. nytimes.com/2023/06/16/bus…

Another case of wine fraud? This time at New York's most storied retailer. Expect the lawsuits soon... Excellent reporting from @WineSpectator

A hundred times yes. Pine nuts destroy the palate for days. A truly terrible foodstuff!!

On Saturday evening I was served a salad with pine nuts. As of Monday morning everything tastes bitter…I’m not saying this is definitively what’s happened to me but if you’re about to go into an MW exam on June 5th or 6th perhaps stay clear of pine nuts. foodauthority.nsw.gov.au/about-us/scien…



I was there for the last one 23 years ago and no less proud today! Come on you Blues!

I already see a lot of tasters falling for the WYSIATI fallacy in regard to Bdx 2022. After 10 days in the region, I can assure you, there doesn’t need to be 100 point wines. Or 99, or 98, etc. Come on people. Let’s be serious, for once.

What You See Is All There Is (WYSIATI) is a cognitive bias that wine professionals should bear in mind when tasting. A short thread. 1/8



As the article puts it:

What do you mean by Neoclassical barolos?



Wow. So Artemis buys the whole Henriot group, and immediately spins off Henriot. Turns out it was just a play for the Burgundy producers (Bouchard P et F/Fèvre). Doesn't say much for Henriot brand. Wonder if they keep any of Henriot's vineyards?

Champagne’s largest cooperative group, Terroirs et Vignerons de Champagne (TEVC) – which owns Nicolas Feuillatte – looks set to acquire Champagne Henriot from Artémis Domaines. thedrinksbusiness.com/2023/03/champa…
