You have my contact details. Is there a reason that you didn't contact me for any comment about this? How does this sort of yellow journalism take really contribute to the discussion in any helpful way?

I can't read the article. But 'trashes' is deliberately inflammatory and doesn't reflect what I actually said at the conference. Andrew's article was not an accurate reflection of what I was saying. I am not against organics at all, but think that regen should not be tied to it.

Boekenhoutskloof, based in Franschhoek but also making wines from the Swartland and Stellenbosch, is an important player in South Africa's fine wine dimension. I meet Marc Kent to taste through new releases and also to look at how well the Semillon ages

Jamie Goode: Is wine really too complicated – or just too expensive? - winemag Wine isn’t intimidating – but prices can be. There’s quite a lot of discussion about the role of education in the wine world at the moment. Wine education

Popped into Dynamic Vines today and was lucky enough to find they were pouring the 2022s from Emidio Pepe. Such focus to these wines - they're just lovely

I liked the way I scored back in 1997. This was my first trip to California with friends, and we did some wine country visits. Quite pleased that I've kept my website content from almost 30 years ago live. There weren't many wine websites then.

Raffaello Sorbi (Italian 1844–1931) La festa della vendemmia (The Harvest Dance) 1893. Note the "married vines" -- trained on trees.

Well done!! Tough gig

This day, 106 years ago, on Jan 17, 1920, National U.S. Prohibition goes into effect. The U.S. "All Liquor Stains Wiped from Stars and Stripes." The entire U.S. will stay dry for almost 14 years, until Prohibition is appealed on December 5, 1933.

It would be an even more interesting report if it were properly segmented

what happened?

It's interesting to see which wines develop positively, and which are nice to drink - but different, and haven't gained so much with age.

Interesting piece. I guess the problem is supply and demand. Science creates too many PhDs - it's cheap labour. And there aren't enough jobs to soak them up. So you end up competing with very smart people for limited positions, and you have to be prepared to move frequently early career.
