Cellar in Manahattan : : Bordeaux Wine News

[Bordeaux Wine News] "City Winery combines four elements : a cellar where clients can make their own wines, a concert hall with a raised stage for performers, a wine bar and restaurant, and finally a team who organise private parties or events like weddings," explains David. The place itself is on two levels (ground floor and basement), and is both spacious and elegant, like a large loft with a high ceiling, warm natural (pale wood) colours which offset the metal structure on the ceiling and provides seating for 350 people!

Cellar in Manahattan : | Bordeaux Wine News

[Bordeaux Wine News] It is hardly surprising that the City Winery makes its own wine, as it aims to take advantage of the fact that Americans are more and more attracted to this beverage, which already accounts for two thirds of the total number of drinks consumed by the establishment’s clientèle today. 200 customers have taken it a step further by buying a 225 litre barrel with a view to producing their own bottled brew.

Marginal Revolution: Bullet Train/Wine Train

Why wine critics are useful | Life and style | guardian.co.uk

[Life and style: Word of Mouth blog | guardian.co.uk] When something catches my eye in one of the wine columns, such as Tim's in the Observer Magazine, it's all part of the enjoyment about sharing something that will give you pleasure drinking, and for you to share with others. If it's true that Tim's column is soon to dissapear from OM then that's a great shame, and one which GMG bosses should reconsider - for consistency his recommendations are always spot on.

Wine News - Week of January 25, 2010 - Uncorked Cincinnati

[Uncorked Cincinnati] Full transparency…this article isn’t about an actual new killer phone app, but it’s still a great read. Matt Kramer of Wine Spectator writes how wineries should be doing a better job telling the stories of their wines to potential customers, vs. relying on magazines, blogs and other sources to do so for them. He points out mobile as a huge opportunity. I agree..and add social media and fantastic web presence to that as well. Your thoughts?

[Suite101: US Wine Articles] Just as wines offer a range of tastes from light, crisp white wines to robust and intense red wines, chocolate offer tastes that go from light, sweet tastes to an intense, bittersweet bite.

[ricardo] infantile tastes (”easy to drink wines”) and who favor oak to “terroir”(the earthy tastes in many French wines)are changing the way wines are made forever. It seems the small wineries are being bought out by the big corporations, synthetic methods are used, everyone is creating a McDonalds Bic Mac wine that is predictable, doesn’t need ageing, and caters to wine critic Robert Parker’s personal tastes and biases (he loves the big California wines so the Europeans are emulating that model.)
