Think Wine Marketing
Swimming the Grocery Channel July 2nd I'd been listening for more than a hour , taking notes, watching for signs or cues that my client wanted more than a confirmation that the strategic business model conceived more than 7 years ago was still viable in this new, emerging economy. Sometimes it's just best to let someone talk and talk..

Q&A: Josh Wig, General Manager, Lamoreaux Landing Wine Cellars July 2nd I've been writing about Finger Lakes wines for a few years now, but until maybe a year or so ago, I didn't really know very many of the players. A few winemakers here. A few winery owners there. Maybe some marketing folks. But one day, I was looking on Lamoreaux Landing's website for some information about them and I noticed "Josh Wig - General Manager" and thought to myself "Hey, I went to college with a Josh Wig. We were even in the same department (biology) but it can't be him, can it?"

On the Wine Trail in Italy
Lament for an Old Giant July 2nd It seems like everyday we get another headline announcing the passing of someone who was part of the larger American family. I have been thinking about this iconic Tuscan wine, one that grew up with America.

Burgundy (3): Clos du Tart July 2nd My final day in Burgundy was a brief one: just time for one appointment before heading back to Dijon for the train.
But what an appointment! It was at Burgundy's largest Grand Cru Monopole, Clos du Tart.

Wisdom from the Glass: Lessons Wine Has Taught Me July 2nd Wine wisdom earned is wine knowledge learned.
One of the most valuable aspects of being a wine lover is the lessons wine imparts, mostly with subtlety, sometimes with blunt force, always valuable - a Zen master or Buddhist monk-like giver of insight into the world around us.

Wine And The Refrigerator: Serving Temperatures (Part 1) July 2nd Was out with some friends for dinner Friday night, and we opened a number of wines and generally had a good time. But the evening reminded me, for the zillionth time, how important a wine's serving temperature is.

Old World/New World: Comparing 2003 Cabernets July 2nd The summer puts me within arms' reach of my wine cellar--a long windowseat in a house in the woods that that never goes above 60 degrees. (you can see the tell-all pictures here) Every wine bottle I unearth has some history attached to it--where I bought it, when, why--and it feels like greeting an old friend to see them again.

1990 Montus Cuvee Prestige (Magnum) July 2nd About two years ago the SAQ received a special order of older vintage, large format bottles from Montus and Bouscasse. Old Madiran from M. Alain Brumont? Surely there would be a lineup for such a treasure!

Kitchen Diplomacy July 2nd Last Sunday, I was inspired to cook a Persian dinner.
I've lost touch with an old friend of mine (seriously Mitra, get on FB already), and I have been thinking of her a lot lately, not only because of events in her parents' native Iran, but also remembering her giant Michael Jackson poster and our hilarious attempts to learn the steps from the Thriller video.
