Wine In the Time of Coronavirus, Part 34: Make Wine Like a Girl (Women Run the Show at Benzinger & Imagery)

Posted on April 15, 2021April 15, 2021 by 1WineDude

Generally, I’m loathe to talk about “women winemakers,” because I find the term anachronistic at best, and simply rude and insensitive at worst. I mean, who cares what gender is behind a well-made wine these days? There are, for sure, fantastically delicate, “feminine” wines being made by men, women, and any identification in between; and…

Wine In the Time of Coronavirus, Part 33: Rare Like a Steak (Earl Stevens Selections Recent Releases)

Posted on April 8, 2021March 31, 2021 by 1WineDude

American rapper E-40, a.k.a. Earl Stevens, is a living quote machine. I could hardly keep up with his quips during a peripatetic (and yes, this is actually me saying that about someone else), entertainingly hilarious, and all-around eye-opening Zoom tasting of a handful of samples from his Earl Stevens Selections lineup. “I’m 53 years old,…

Wine In the Time of Coronavirus, Part 32: Roero Deep Dive

Posted on March 31, 2021March 22, 2021 by 1WineDude

If Italy’s northwestern region of Piedmont is known for one thing, it’s being known for many things. So many wine regions overlap in Piedmont that it’s not uncommon for the skills being used to produce, say, Barolo also being employed to produce Barbera, Moscato, or – in today’s case – Roero. I recently hopped on…

Count Francesco Marone Cinzano

Wine In the Time of Coronavirus, Part 31: Counting on the Count (Tenuta Col d’Orcia Recent Releases)

Posted on March 25, 2021March 16, 2021 by 1WineDude

Count Francesco Marone Cinzano didn’t want to live in Tuscany. When his father moved the family to ‘the hill overlooking the Orcia River’ (Col d’Orcia), it was ‘quite remote, the middle of nowhere.” Not exactly the place to appeal to a young guy, even if the aesthetic beauty of the place was beyond question. Today,…
