The Spirit of Le Sud

Defining the “South of France” is not as easy as one might expect. After all, everything is relative: Parisians may feel they’ve reached the South as soon as they hit Lyon, but to residents of Provence, Lyon may as well be the North Pole. Having made the drive from Burgundy to Provence many times, I have formed my own opinion of where the border lies...
Fine Wine Bargains

Nebbiolo by Another Name

In December of last year, the excellent wine blog, “Opening a Bottle,” likened one of our wines to Shohei Ohtani, the 30-year-old Japanese phenom who has changed the game of baseball and might go down as the greatest player of all time. I’ve thought about this comparison nearly every day since, wondering each time I take a sip of red Burgundy, Barolo, or Côte-Rôtie, “Could this also be considered the Shohei Ohtani of wine?”
I finally tasted a worthy contender—or set of contenders—last month...
Rosé with Pizza?

Here in California where I grew up, pizza used to be a tough crust oozing with the cheapest cheese money could buy and a tomato sauce so raunchy it took a dose of macho red wine to wash it down. Cleanse the palate, as we gourmets say today. But the pizza scene has evolved…
