California's woes, obesity, Buffett, subway reading - sipped and spit March 10th Hard to tell which phrase would strike more fear in the heart of Napa: finances that are "very weak" or "on life support." Even foreclosure has been the fate of 10 vineyards in the valley that once was called "Eden." But probably the scariest phrase is this: "High-rollers are discovering that there are lots of drinkable $20 to $40 bottles of wine."

Wine and the Clarion Call of "KIDS"! March 10th Wine-distributors-lie-about-minors-and-alcohol Many of us have watched opponents of direct shipping cynically use the clarion call of "KIDS, BUT THE KIDS!" for years in their attempt to prevent the shipment of wines across state lines and directly to the homes of consumers.

Tasting Santa Barbara County Chardonnay March 10th Yesterday, the sixth and final day of my road trip south, primarily consisted of a blind tasting of 60 Chardonnays. The tasting was held in a small meeting cottage at the Santa Ynez Inn, and was kindly set up by my friend Sao Anash, who assists many writers when they visit Santa Barbara County.

Wine, Women, and Weight March 10th By now you're heard the news, Alcohol May Help Fight Weight Gain In Women! But is there anything to it? Let's look behind the curtain, shall we?

Wine, Health, Science and Journalism: A Study in Headlines March 10th Recently I've been watching with fascination as the mainstream press does its usual unraveling of some recently released research results focused on wine drinking in women and weight gain. Specifically, I've been giggling at the complete lack of understanding we seem to have of the difference between correlation and causation, combined with the creative liberties of headline writing.

freebie protocol March 10th My "Drowning in Social Media" post (February 26) brought this late-breaking query from blogger Erika Szymanski...A big part of this evolving world of social media wine commentary (or film or food or you name it commentary) is that it all comes with a lot of unanswered questions.

When Irish Wines Are Smiling March 10th It just had to happen. In 2002, when I organized and started not only PS I Love You, but also started the Association of African American Vintners, I was thinking about starting an Irish American Vintners Association.

Size Matters (Tackling A Faust 2006 Double Magnum) March 10th Just when you think that the topic of wine is starting to make sense and really come together for you, you'll probably encounter the convention of naming large format wine bottles.

Tons of Money March 10th I'm still chewing the meat off the bones of last month's California Dept of Food and Agriculture 2009 Crush Report. This time I'm focused on money. A key indicator of the financial health of our vineyards is the average dollars per ton that we collect on winegrape sales.
