Giovanni Rosso:

New Wine Spectator Insider Review
 
Giovanni Rosso makes Barolo that’s synonymous with the perhaps the most prestigious commune in the area: Serralunga d’Alba.  The commune is known for powerful, age worthy versions of Barolo, highlighted by its most famous wines: Conterno’s Francia (and Monfortino), Giacosa’s Rocche del Falletto, Brovia’s Ca’Mia and a number of wines from Vigna Rionda. Perhaps no winery is more closely associated with the sub region than Giovanni Rosso, a winery that goes back to the 1890’s and has made its mark with powerful, intense Barolos.

The Exquisite Champagnes of Marie-Courtin


“Dominique Moreau [makes] tiny amounts of Champagne under the Marie-Courtin label that are gorgeous, precise and elegant, and that I cannot get out of my head.” – Eric Asimov, New York Times
 
The Aube: once a sleepy backwater Department of the Champagne region where generations of vineyard owners and tenders subsisted on selling their crops to the Grand Marque luxury brand Champistocrats headquartered in Reims. Now it is a cradle to a movement. A movement to something of a Burgundian model: of estate growers escorting their grapes through to the finished wine, and in so doing expressing their grapes, their ground, and their esthetic.

2019 Dönnhoff

Dönnhoff’s Best Vintage Ever?
ma
Woo boy—the hype train is here for the 2019 German vintage and it’s totally deserved. Many experts are calling it the best vintage since 2001 and some are going further than that. “The 2019 vintage is the best vintage I have ever tasted for German Riesling in my four-decade career” declares Stuart Pigott, who literally wrote a book devoted to the grape.  Let that sink in: Best. Vintage. Ever. 

Even in a region that’s been spoiled for good years this millennium, the level of praise we’re seeing for 2019 is off the charts, and so is demand for the wines.
