Wine Blogging Wednesday 71: Edmunds St. John 2009 Wylie Syrah, El Dorado County

By Remy Charest | Published: March 16, 2011
Wine Blogging Wednesday has often been very good at getting participants to think outside the wine box. This 71st edition, presided over by Tim Elliott of Winecast, calls upon us to go inside and out: outside the Rhône – geographically – but with Rhône grapes.

WBW 63: Finding my muse in a bottle of 1990 Mas La Plana

By winecase | Published: November 18, 2009

Wine Blogging Wednesday 55: North vs South, just across the Loire

By winecase | Published: March 18, 2009
The North vs South theme I proposed for Wine Blogging Wednesday provides bloggers with certain guidelines (use the same grapes, so you can compare), but also with a lot of leeway. Thousands of miles of leeway, really. If you wanted, you could pick similar wines from the other side of the world. The antipodes, really. Spanish [...]
