BLOG| The 2018 Vintage in France By Andrew Jefford
Andrew Jefford, award-winning author and columnist for Decanter and World of Fine Wine as well as Wine Scholar Guild Academic Advisor, gives us his insight about the 2018 vintage in France. As October 2018 got underway, wine-growing France let out an audible collective sigh of relief. After shortages due to repeated hail and frost traumas in recent years, 2018 marked a gratifying return to generosity for French wine growers.

BLOG| Why Valpolicella and Valpolicella Superiore are Poised for a Comeback
By Tom Hyland
The wines of Valpolicella dance across the tongue with the same lift and loveliness as the name itself. Ideal with humble pastas as well as lighter red meats and game birds, it is well-suited to the table. As the more modest bottling of the Valpolicella region, it is largely (and unfairly) overlooked among Italian reds these days.
