In Other Words, The Wine Biz Is Pretty F*cked Up (Thoughts On The Closure Of IPOB)

Posted on May 31, 2016 by 1WineDude

The wine media world has been tripping over itself to cover the recently-announced ceasing of operations by In Pursuit of Balance (IPOB), an organization of producers that held tastings of wines that fit what the organizers and their tasting panel deemed to be New World wines of particularly elegant expression. In other words, wines that…

Wine Reviews: Weekly Mini Round-Up For May 30, 2016

Posted on May 30, 2016 by 1WineDude

So, like, what is this stuff, anyway? I taste a bunch-o-wine (technical term for more than most people).

They are meant to be quirky, fun, and easily-digestible reviews of currently available…

And You Were Expecting What, Exactly? (Lugana Highlights From L’Anteprima Lazise 2016)

Posted on May 26, 2016April 14, 2017 by 1WineDude

Back in March (yeah, yeah, I know…) I attended, as a media guest, the 2016 edition of the well-executed but unfortunately-named L’Anteprima Lazise (seriously… how many of you knew that was a town near Lake Garda in N. Italy?).  The event marked the first time that the nearby winemaking regions of Chiaretto, Lugana, and Bardolino…

Fix.com Italian Red Grapes

Okay, So You Knew This Was Coming (Italian Red Wine Grapes For Fix.com)

Posted on May 24, 2016May 18, 2016 by 1WineDude

In what will come as a surprise to no one, Fix.com has published the companion piece to my Italian White Wine Grapes article, The Grapes Behind Italian Red Wines. That one definitely fits right into the saw-it-coming-from-a-mile-away-bro category. Having said that, I think that the geeky among you will be pleasantly surprised by my grape…
