[Uncorked in Calgary] Michel Rolland on Argentina, the next trendy grape and climate change: Although the interview was organized by The Vines of Mendoza -- and for the most part, he talked about Argentina's explosion on the world's wine scene -- he also addressed global climate change and (big surprise) Mondovino.Rolland says he first went to Argentina 22 years ago and "fell in love with this country," especially the land around Mendoza, the country's main wine-producing region.

[Mark's Wine/Family/Business Blog] Mondovino-A review « Mark's Wine/Family/Business Blog: I understand that this is going to be a major concern with wineries, but I have to admit that almost every wine drinker I know from the serious to the casual, seem to have similar tastes to Parker. If he were constantly rating wines highly that the wine consuming public didn’t like, then he would lose his following rather quickly and people would pay more attention to other publications which the filmaker seems to leave out for the most part, with a small reference of Wine Spectator and their 2M+ yearly readers.

[philipmartin's posterous] SPIRITS Shaking the roots of terroir theory: Part personal history (Nossiter began consuming wine “by the finger drop” at the age of 2), part subversive circuit of the most pretentious Paris wine shops and restaurants, and part heartfelt (and sometimes irritatingly self-aggrandizing) ode to the living creature that is wine, Liquid Memory is, well, quite a book.

[STEVE HEIMOFF| WINE BLOG] STEVE HEIMOFF| WINE BLOG » Blog Archive » California is not the ...: Aside from whatever comparisons may be made between the quality of the wines from Australia and California or issues that the Aussie low-end might have caused to the overall perceptions of that country’s wine, there is a fundamental economic difference between their wine industry as it currently exists and that of California.

[Wine Tasting San Diego - Plan your wine tasting tour in San Diego] Eagles Nest Winery & Cottage's Guest Wine DVD DVDLibrary: Unlike the other movies and shows listed, Mondovino is a documentary, a true tale revealing how mass globalization impacts the wine industry. Translated to mean “World of Wine,” this film not only displays the influence that people like Robert Parker and Michel Rolland have on dictating what wine is and is not good, but it shows the struggles of both the small and large wineries in their voyage for the vine.

[Reign of Terroir] Jonathan Nossiter pt. 3, Wine, Power, Portugal: That’s why I felt it was mad that in the US after Mondovino I was labeled as a kind of fanatic. The point about wine, it seems to me, is that the element of subjectivity is so huge, it’s so determining, that when we think that we’re certain, we’re denying what wine is, which is why mathematical scores are an abomination.

[philipmartin's posterous] Book Review - 'Liquid Memory - Why Wine Matters,' by Jonathan ...: And I had to wince at some of his rhetorical flights, like “Without terroir, we will all lose all freedom and individuality.” But his book did enrich my experience of wine ”” I now drink it more slowly, for one thing ”” and Nossiter’s racy rudeness left me half drunk with pleasure. In fact, if this book were a bottle of wine, I’d describe it as having a firm structure, a core of mature but voluptuous fruit (Charlotte Rampling!)

[Scout Magazine] Hide The Riedels When The Wine Nerds Drop The Gloves & Go At It: Remember Mondovino, that entertaining 2004 documentary on the wine world's unfortunate fixation with Robert Parker? Like a piece of terroiriste propaganda, it steered us through old French vineyards with pathetic French vignerons;

[Frog's Pad] Frog's Pad » Blog Archive » Mondovino Tasting Party: This process introduces pure oxygen to wine in the presence of oak, in order to give smoother tannins, similar to what happens when wine is oak aged then bottled aged for years. The second is a lot of European wine professionals talking about how too much oak is used in wine these days, and they are too concentrated, due to wineries trying to chase the scores of Robert Parker, who is notorious for loving blackish red wines with sweet vanilla, coffee and chocolate oak flavours.
