Why Wine Costs What It Does; Part 4 - Direct to Consumer Sales June 25th Most wine in American gets sold through the traditional distribution chain. But, increasingly, wineries are selling direct to the consumer. Sometimes this takes the form of selling through a tasting room, but more and more wine is now being sold over the Internet and then shipped from the winery to the consumer.

'Nava Valley': The Fate of American Wines in China June 25th In the global wine export industry - which increasingly looks to China as a developing market - it is sometimes remarked that the United States has not made in-roads within the PRC, especially in comparison with the likes of France, Australia and Chile, the main import leaders (in that order).

When rap stars do wine June 25th Seems there's this rapper, Lil Jon, who started a wine company, Little Jonathan Wine Company, that made a Central Coast Chardonnay that just won a silver medal at the L.A. International Wine & Spirits Competition.

Road Warrior Survival Guide June 25th This was first published in Wine Business Monthly, and is now worth sharing on the Internet. This is a definite rare rant from me, and was born from being on the road a bit too much (I think) at the time. While my schedule has slowed down a bit, the following behaviors haven't… Enjoy!

On the Wine Trail in Italy
The Epiphany June 25th There has been discussion in Italy about the future of wine in Calabria.

Dr. Vino's wine blog
Spot the 62 pointer - Viu 1 from Chile - and some Spanish June 25th What does a 62 point wine taste like? Not that I follow scores for wine very much, but a 62 pointer? Man, that had to suck. Or, conversely, if you disagree with the critic giving the score, perhaps it was fantastic?

Truth and Dare and Wine June 25th The following list may just be a list of some of my favorite games. But It's also a list of games that are fun to drink to.

Jon & Kate Shocker: Real Reason for Split Not the Fame, Not Affairs… It Was All About the Wine! June 25th Couch Potato America reclined and recoiled the other night upon learning that the Reality TV stars of Jon & Kate Plus 8 have filed for divorce. The split can not come as too great a surprise, what with mounting tabloid rumors, not to mention the cumulative stress of raising twins and sextuplets amid the relentless glare of cameras. What may come as a shock, however, is the real reason for their split: namely wine.
