Montrachet dominates expensive white Burgundy at auction (#)

„"The extra dimension...as to why these wines, and Montrachet in particular, seem to rise above their lesser neighbors is because they possess the 'thrill factor'...the ability to consistently deliver an emotionally thrilling experience, where our notions of wine as a beverage are transcended and we are transported elsewhere. This is the hallmark of a truly magnificent wine and where dry white wines are concerned, Montrachet is capable of delivering this experience more often than any other."“

La Dolce Vino! (#)

„The most popular types are the red Recioto della Valpolicella DOC and the lesser seen white Recioto de Soave. Recioto della Valpolicella, like its dry sibling Amarone, is produced primarily with the Rondinella grape which is raisined to concentrate the grape™s sugar level in a special drying room which lends the wine an oxidized quality. It is produced in the Valpolicella DOC zone, which has both a Classico and a larger growing area, where the wines are simply called Recioto ...“

Local fruit wines (#)

„Bill Galarneau, the winemaker, specializes in fruit wines (which is really big in the south and east right now, wherever there are orchards, basically). Jenny and I loved the Mango Papaya, it was dry enough to serve as a chicken or fish wine, maybe with the right fruit salsa or chutney on top of the dish. It was clean and crisp and sort of reminded us of the butterscotch wine from Old Lockeford Winery in Lodi.“

Organic Wines (#)

„As far as wine is concerned you should know that, unless a wine is left intentionally unfinished to keep some sweetness to it, a finished wine is "dry", meaning it contains less than 3 to 4 grams per liter of sugar (and it is fructose). In most cases and certainly in the wines we carry, the analysis finds less than 1 g/l, almost undetectable! Therefore sugar in itself should not be a concern to you.“

Amateur du Vin (#)

„What turns “still” wines into festive bubbly is called the methode champenoise, a labor-intensive, multi-step process that takes years to complete. And this does not include the effort of first making out of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier the three separate dry wines that go into it. When a normal wine makers job is done, the champagne maker’s is just beginning.“

„The eight of us each tried each of the cheeses with each of the wines, after starting out with a bottle of 2001 Hendry Ranch Zinfandel while people will still arriving. No one cheese turned out to be the favorite for a majority of everyone tasting. At least one person voted for each cheese, except for the Pecorino Romano, as a favorite, with a critical mass around the Valdeon and Pierre Robert.“

„In order to achieve more powerful, structured wines. Harvesting for dry wines normally takes place when the producer decides that sugar and acidity in the grapes is properly balanced. If the winemaker postpones the harvest, sugar increases. Harvesting late produces a fatter, more sugary wine richer in alcohol.“

„The sweetness of wine is measured in brix and determined by the amount of sugar residue in the wine after fermentation. Dry wine does not have any sugar residue.“

„The three oldest vintages provided interesting insight into the aging potential of Rhone whites, but all probably peaked at least a few years ago.  Starting with the 2000, we moved into wines that were meant to age, from older vines and with increasing percentages of Roussanne .  The “
