    Water and wine in drought-stricken California

    Drive into the Cakebread Cellars parking lot and it seems fairly normal. Nicer and prettier than most, sure, but otherwise standard. But look a little closer and you discover a cleverly engineered facility designed to up the winery’s water game. The pavers are permeable and rest atop a foot of

    With a curvy bottle and a delicate, pale-salmon tinted color, this is not a naive rosé: it is French, after all. The aromas are hearty stone fruit with a hint of tangerine. Stone fruit continues onto the palate which is balanced by light acidity and minerality. A biggish mouthfeel continuing

    Roditis: Crisp and food-friendly with a touch of uncertainty

    Roditis is a mystery. Roditis is nobody's favorite wine grape. Roditis is the kind of wine you drink after your palate is tired of more impressive stuff. Roditis wins no wine ratings or competitions, but it consistently wins the empty-bottle test. Roditis vines are like white people: there's a lot

    What We’re Drinking – 2012 Copper Mountain Pinot Noir

    Intensely fruity with undertones of fresh earth. Dark cherries, loam, and a touch of vanilla are on the nose. Tart red fruits dominate the palate, led by cranberry, with wild strawberries and sour cherry. Hints of freshly-turned earth show around the edges. Tartness lingers on the finish. Tannins are rustic

    Intense is the first word that comes to mind when encountering this wine. The aroma is concentrated strawberry fruit, which continues in the flavors of the wine, surrounded by a nice thin circlet of vanilla on the palate and in the finish. The style of fruit is very New World,

      The 500 or so alumni from past Digital Wine Communications Conferences (this year will be the 8th edition) indulge in a torturing game every year. During the winter months, social media channels hum with activity as everyone starts playing “guess this year's location”. DWCC has always been adventurous, taking

    What We’re Drinking – 2013 Donafugata Sdàra

    A thoroughly enjoyable wine for any day of the week. A notable dark red, cooked fruit flavor, with integrated mild tannins and lively acidity give it just enough granularity and presence and a touch of fennel, too. Pour it liberally alongside simple meat dishes or traditional pasta with marinara sauce. Highly

    Another very pleasant wine experience for any-day wine drinking from the distinguished Donnafugata winery in Sicily. (Bonus: use the QR code on the bottle to find an accounting of the winery’s carbon footprint.) Based on the native Cataratto grape, this white blend begins with aromas of straw, peach, orange and
