Wine Wein Vino Vin. Pinning the tale on the dolce vita. Tuesday, November 26, 2013. Top Ratings for Roland Velich’s Moric. Now in Austria as well—. Wine-ratings are a very delicate issue. Out-and-out subjective, they purport to deliver an objective accuracy right down to the decimal place. And many ratings are the result of comparison-tastings, where many wines are sampled together and described, then given a numerical score. Since its inception, Roland Velich’s Moric Estate. Has named Moric three times ...

Wine Wein Vino Vin. Pinning the tale on the dolce vita. Tuesday, March 8, 2011. Everything that’s washed ashore. Becomes fit fodder, just fine to build. When passions run deeper than grace. Sometimes a tale told. In the dawn tide of a single truth. Or such a torrent down. In a single tear. When wanting runs hotter than fear. Everything that’s lost before. Like past prescriptions newly filled. A test of will. But habit is denser. So fine a new foil still can fail the fencer. Not fail to notice.

Wine Wein Vino Vin. Pinning the tale on the dolce vita. Monday, November 24, 2014. A boy and his wok, chapter one. When I was a windy boy and a bit. That's the start of a famous poem by Dylan Thomas, but having been myself at one point a windy boy, I am reminded in reading this of a time in my career when I set about to learn all that I might about matters of interest spread out far and wide—. Which led the spread of course to include food and wine. I had also just discovered Sauvignon Blanc. And alo...

Wine Wein Vino Vin. Pinning the tale on the dolce vita. Thursday, November 6, 2014. Austrian Reds in NYC, 15 October 14 at The Modern. So here is the little ditty that I wrote for the tasting book of the Austrian Wine Marketing Board’s presentation in New York last month. a sort of an introduction—the only guideline I was given by the AWMB was to concentrate on the themes of ageability and collectability. 8212;— Versatile, Ageable and Collectible. No, it’s not France; it is Austria. Rather, Austria has s...

Among these new Masters of Wine, four out of six persons are female.

Wine Wein Vino Vin. Pinning the tale on the dolce vita. Friday, February 15, 2013. The voice of Riesling, now mature. So tonight is Parsifal. At the Met—this last work by that old bastard Wagner is somehow less problematic on stage than the majority of his oeuvre. So last Easter I was in Vienna, and had the good fortune to experience my second straight Easter Sunday performance of Parsifal in the Staatsoper. I preferred Waltraud Meier from the year before as Kundry, but Kwangchul Youn was spectacular...

So was thwarted in fulfilling my duty to taste an American Grüner Veltliner, because my favourite watering-hole in Santa Rosa—Petite Syrah—no longer had it on by the glass; but was rewarded with a lovely surprise. 8212;hairshirt that is, to wear for the penance that I am due to do… Abrente is the name of the estate, and this stuff was really yummy. 2010 Abrente Stuart Ranch Albariño....But for...

Sandy and wet soils offer vitis vinifera a certain degree of protection from the pest, but humidity presents good grape. Imagine the level of panic. Some positive developments resulted, like when Bordeaux’s wine-expertise moved south to Rioja in search of resistant vineyards and created a Spanish still-wine industry, the fr...

Wine Wein Vino Vin. Pinning the tale on the dolce vita. Tuesday, September 3, 2013. And now a word from the man behind the Moric: Wine and Culture. 8212;friend and colleague Roland Velich sent me this piece he'd written for Cultivino in Switzerland couple of weeks ago, about some of the Factors Underlying. I got to liking it; have been always disposed to take a look at the cultural elements that frequently lurk behind the bottle—and before too long had cobbled together an English version.
