[Taste TO - Food & Drink In Toronto] Taste T.O. - Food & Drink In Toronto » T.O. Events for May 8th-14th: Jan van Riebeeck's diary entry of February 2, 1659 reads: "today, praise be to God, wine was pressed for the first time from Cape grapes, and the new must was tested fresh from the vat." International exposure and a dramatic growth in sales led to a change in style for South African wine as well as a greater commitment to improving quality. This has been reflected in the international awards claimed since 1994, a remarkable turnaround and achievement for an industry which is simultaneously 350 - and 15 - years old.

This was a shipping town, and the houses along the waterfront belonged to the ship owners and captains, and still have in their front gardens some of the exotic specimens of plants brought back from their travels in the early 20th century.

[The West Ranch Beacon - News & Commentary for the Santa Clarita Valley] Eve’s Wine 101: Getting Offered Wine to Try is Never a Problem ...: A friend of mine started giving me the hefty Wine Spectator (WS) magazine at least ten years ago as a yearly holiday gift.  There are plenty of wine periodicals out there and any would suffice if you like their offerings, but I like WS because they have a short news column section as well as tackling several different topics a month from a specific wine region world wide, a particular grape varietal and the ever-handy pull-out guide that starts with inexpensive Smart Buys straight through to Collectibles.  I used to pull out the guide every month and comb my favorite wine stores for their recommendations.  (Although I do recommend sampling for yourself and only using numeric systems as a guide.)

[GARAGE VINO] GARAGE VINO » Blog Archive » Garage 2007 Zin - Chapter 2: Crush ...: Although I don’t care so much about consistency as quality and complexity, one of the biggest issues home or first-time winemakers apparently face is spoilage (I don’t even like writing that word), possibly due to lack of knowledge on how to maintain control over numerous variables, possibly due to poor sanitation measures, or just from foolish mistakes”¦either way, if I am going to add some extraction elements to really get at the flavors in my Zinfandel without going overboard, then I am going to make the more controlled choice - cold soaking, rather than extended maceration. (By the way, there are some other extraction techniques too, such as the use of enzymes during fermentation which help break down the skins for both color and flavor extraction.

[The Pour] Are Super-Tuscans Still Super? - The Pour Blog - NYTimes.com: Judging from what appears to be happening in California, it seems that the tastes that people seek move in one direction, then move in another, and eventually a variety of styles of wine may be available. At the moment and for many years, the high alcohol, fruit bomb style has been dominant, especially among expensive wines that can afford all the oak, but there are signs that some wine makers, and some drinkers, are moving back towards a more austere, subtle style, more European, if that still means anything, and I think it still does.
