Vouvray: one of the world’s most complex, age-worthy, terroir-driven, aromatically intense, and praised white wines. You’d be hard-pressed to find a more wildly expressive and flexible grape than the Chenin Blanc that composes practically all white wines from Vouvray. Chenin from Vouvray is esteemed for its profundity at all sweetness levels, from bone-dry (Sec), lightly- to medium-sweet (Demi-Sec), and dessert style (Moelleux).… Read the rest

Mark’s Top Ten Picks 1-7-24


Some wines from my wedding. Do you trust this man?
We all have different tastes and preferences when it comes to wine. This indeed is the element of the wine experience which fuels endless intrigue, novelty, and persistence to keep tasting more. Our tastes become signatures of who we are; but just like how each of us changes markedly over time as individuals, so do our tastes. A professed love of Chardonnay might evolve into a fascination with Chenin Blanc; a romance with Pinot Noir might turn to a passionate affair with Alto-Piemonte Nebbiolo. Our palates all change over time and most often that change is realized when we rediscover the wines that first moved us. Everything is fair game.

Where am I going with this?

Kopke 1-6-24

Kopke &
 
Legendary Colheita Ports

 
Some of the world’s oldest wineries are still quietly making some of the most profound wines for their region. These estates have been loved and sought-after for generations. Think of Saint Cosme in Gigondas, Schloss Gobelsburg in the Kamptal region of Austria, Karthäuserhof in the Mosel, Ricasoli and Antinori in Tuscany, and Kopke, the oldest Port House in the Douro or the world.
 
Kopke, founded in 1638, makes what might be the most vibrant and long-lived port wines available. They have been through adverse times in their nearly 400-year history, seeing dramatic shifts in the climate, swings in the popularity of their product, and the rise and fall of populist dictators. Through all of this, they’ve been consistent in their commitment to making the greatest Tawny and Colheita (vintage Tawny) Port available.… Read the rest

Champagne Andre Clouet



The Holidays are over… let the real celebrations begin!

As the Clouet winery itself says, “Pinot Noir does not mature directly, in linear fashion. Upon reaching its 6th year, it passes into a phase known as “The Whirlwind”. Propelled by an unseen force it reaches outward, taking on another dimension. The wine becomes charged with energy and vibrations. It glows… and becomes transcendent! Deep, bright, effervescent… taking off and on approach to Celestial Harmony.”
