http://modernwine.blogspot.com/2014/02/top-12-zinfandels-from-lodi.html

Wednesday, February 12, 2014. Top 12 Zinfandels from Lodi. On February 5th I met up with a number of great colleagues including David Glancy. As well as a few envoys from Lodi.

Winegrowers realized they were going to have to get more out of their crops, either by developing their own wineries and brands, or by selling them to local boutique vintners. It has been a process for local growe...

http://modernwine.blogspot.com/2011/09/plaimont-2009-beret-noir-nice-wine-if.html

Monday, September 12, 2011. Plaimont 2009 Beret Noir. Nice wine if you can get it. Here's a nice Southwest French red for your favorite boho uncle or Basque separatist.

MODERN WINE: Western Oz Cabernet

http://modernwine.blogspot.com/2011/12/western-oz-cabernet.html

Friday, December 30, 2011. I consider myself a big fan of Western Australian Cabernet, especially the best from Margaret River. To me, the moderately warm climate makes for clean wines with great focus, a slick, nimble quality and fresh fruit. This lightly-oaked 2010 James Oatley Tic Tok Cabernet is a steal for $14. it comes from Robert Oatley Vineyards. Where winemaking is overseen by veteran Chris Hancock. It's a crying shame that these cooler-climate Aussie wines are often overlooked. Dreaming Tree Ca...
