Stars of Southern Burgundy
by Tom Wolf
Just a few decades ago, books about Burgundy centered almost exclusively around Chablis and the famed Côte d’Or, leaving out many southern villages, which count among the region’s most exciting pockets of activity today. It’s not that the appellations to the south of Burgundy’s “Golden Slope” didn’t sit atop outstanding terroirs back then—of course they did—but rather that superstar growers in the Côte Chalonnaise and the Mâconnais were few and far between. Today, these places are glowing points on the wine map...

by Tom Wolf
Sometimes I think Barbera gets lost in the mix of great Piemonte bar-words, most notably Barolo and Barbaresco.

by Chris Santini
Oh, how far Irouléguy, the hidden gem of French Basque country, has come! Once upon a time, not so long ago, a local joke went something like this: “How do you say vinegar in Basque?
