As you start out the new year, probably with a glass of Champagne or sparkling wine, make a resolution to try some wines in 2010 that you've never tasted. And maybe start with Viognier (pronounced "Vee-uh-nyay").This is among the world's most aromatic whites, with a rich, viscous fullness, often a relatively high alcohol content and even some distinct spiciness on the palate.

Wines for Thanksgiving 2009
In 10 days it'll be Thanksgiving, and you're probably putting together your menu. And if you're not...get on it! And no matter what you're having, you'll need some wines to go with the big meal.Vouvray/Chenin Blanc: This is among the best wines in the world for Turkey.

David Gaier replied to Randy Caparoso's discussion 'What's Your Biggest Pet Peeve About Drinking Wine In Restaurants?'
Randy and Smoke: This is a great follow-up. Casual Dining restaurants (e.g. Applebee's) in particular have a huge opportunity here but they're squandering it.

Sonia Barboza said… - Hi David,
thanks for adding me as your friend. Indeed, Antonini is a superb winemaker that helped improving quality of wines in Arg, specially by making them more attractive for foreign markets.
I hope everything is going well over there!
Salud! (over a glass of Malbec)

Mary Rocca said… - Hi David,
Sounds like you are pretty well versed in all of this wine stuff. Is this your full time job?
Also, I see that you did the UC DAvis one week course in July- I did that the first year they offered it- I think maybe in 2001? How was it?
Cheers,
Mary

Carrie-Anne Kunkel said… - My company Precision Viticulture International does advanced microclimate analysis for vineyards. We do a diagnosis of a vineyard showing it's risks for sunburn damage, frost damage, and uneven ripening using a technology called hemispherical photography. This lets us determine the actual temperature of your grapes on any given day.
