Things look pretty bare here, as they should as the vines are being pruned. A few weeks ago we pruned off the ends of the canes to get the majority of the 'debris' out of our way and left a foot or two for the final pruning, which is happening now.…

In Amsterdam, Where Art Meets Wine

New York Times: If the thought of traipsing past the Rembrandts and Vermeers at the Rijksmuseum doesn’t inspire you, perhaps the lure of wine tasting will. At Amsterdam’s Art Vine, you can soak up some culture while sipping a glass of well-selected wine.

The pinot noir of 2009? It's from New Zealand

ChinaDaily.com: It's a big call, nailing the single wine of 2009 that was most impressionable amongst so many good bottles and an ever-increasing myriad of quality, relatively more approachable wines produced around the globe. However, Two Paddocks Pinot Noir 2006 from Central Otago, New Zealand, is the wine...

Tuscan red wine lovers can now text for authenticity

NationalPost.com: Brunello di Montalcino, the famed, rich red wine from Tuscany that was embroiled in an adulteration scandal for its 2003 vintage, has turned to technology to ensure a bottle's authenticity.

The end of the season, getting ready for the next one

Things look pretty bare here, as they should as the vines are being pruned. A few weeks ago we pruned off the ends of the canes to get the majority of the 'debris' out of our way and left a foot or two for the final pruning, which is happening now. If you look closely you will see that the row on the left has been fully pruned back to 'two buds' while the ones on the right have the foot or two of cane that still has to… Continue

Farewell to Cutty Sark

By Simon Berry This has been a momentous week here at BB&R. Eighty seven years after it was born in the parlour at 3 St James’s Street, the Cutty Sark brand has been sold. For as long as I can remember the familiar yellow label has been part of our identity. Somehow this always seemed to be paradoxical: [...]

Manuel Marchetti of Barolo producer Podere Marcarini talks of the 2009 vintage and the effects of climate change…

While there’s much back-slapping over the quality of the 2009 harvest across Europe, here similar success has only heaped further pressure on the cellars of the Langhe, many fit to bursting after a dazzling run of ‘five-star’ vintages, from 1995 to the present day (bar 2002). La Stampa, one of the leading newspapers (hereabouts at least), [...]

Hoose juice, blogs, cheap Pinot, wine in food stores – sipped and spit

SPIT: “pinot noir” Pinot or dunno? The cachet and appeal of the fickle pinot noir has led to a proliferation of low-priced pinots, which, by US law, must only contain 75 percent to state the grape on the label. Decanter reports that French authorities have brought charges against 13 defendants in the the south of France [...]

Blaufränkisch: from zero to 60 in fifteen years

In 1993 Englebert Prieler, an Austrian vintner, decided for the first time to bottle a single-vineyard wine from the grape variety Blaufränkisch. When it came time to sell the wine, he priced it the same as his better known Cabernet Sauvignon. However, the Blaufränkisch bottles languished unsold until a Swiss collector bought them all as [...]
