It's nice to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Judgment of Paris tasting, when the USA bested France. More important are the tremendous accomplishments in the years that followed. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/18/d...

So excited to be holding the first printed copy of Pim’s magnum opus on Thai cooking. I didn’t want to give it back! I’ve pre-ordered my copy weeks ago, but you should go pre-order yours now. This book will make you an extremely competent Thai cook. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I'm sure it's wishful thinking on my part, but damn do I wish that I could get the same effects with a bottle of wine. So much easier than 2.5 cups of grapes per day...

Cool, sunny, spring day. The Jacarandas are exploding purple confetti all over the Mission district and it’s time to go to a South African trade tasting in SF. Life is good!

Every Friday I post a wine-related image just for the viewing pleasure of it. Here's last week's:

Most people (including myself) don't tend to think of Portugal when we think of sparkling wine, but after two days of judging at the Concurso Vinhos de Portugal wine challenge, I'm starting to think they've been keeping their bubbles a secret for too long.

Just a periodic scream into the void for wineries (& their PR agencies) to PLEASE update the damn product info on your website so it reflects your ACTUAL current releases, including tech sheets on those wines somewhere on the site. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Judging wine in Portugal, where the word for non sparkling wine is “tranquilo.” So much classier than “still.” I’m going to start calling all non sparkling wines tranquil.

White wine rising in popularity in South Korea, says buyer for major South Korean Dept Store I just met. Top seller these days? NZ Sav Blanc, apparently. Good news for @nzwine

My monthly tasting column for @JancisRobinson focuses on the newest style of California Grenache and just how thrilling it is. Move over Syrah! www.vinography.com/2... #winethreads

I recently had to replace a wine fridge, and I can't afford EuroCave. I ended up with this unit, and I'm pretty darn happy with it. Quiet AF, racks spaced to handle even wide-a** Champagne bottles, and overall well put together. Five stars. www.wineenthusiast.c...

This is definitely a wine movie I want to watch. If it's half as amusing as the trailer, it's going to be a triumph @RandallGrahm. Introducing... "The Terroirist."

PSA to the wine industry: there is a rash of e-mail hacking going on of Wine PR firms and publicists. I have now gotten some variation of the following e-mail from three separate, unrelated wine PR professionals. DO NOT CLICK on these e-mails.

TFW you discover a 2016 Valentini Cerasuolo hiding in the white wine section of a list in Italy for the criminally great price of $100. *winning*

Someone got their verb tenses wrong.

You know you’re getting old when twice in two days you can’t come up with the word “biscotti” - you know those Italian coffee cookie thingys!!!!!?!?!? Sheesh.

Today I'm celebrating a pretty big milestone -- we've now registered 10,000 vineyards in the non-profit, crowdsourced Old Vine Registry. We hit our audacious goal 15 months earlier than we'd hoped to.

Hey wine lovers, here's your recommended weekly reading list of all things wine-related that I thought would be worth your time.

Every year I try to use the barrel samples at the Premiere Napa Valley auction to get a handle on the qualities of a recent vintage. Here's my look at the 2024 wines, which delivered excellence in the face of a hot season.

Last week's column for @jancisrobinson subscribers looked at Napa Merlot's identity crisis. It can't quite decide whether it wants to be just like Cabernet but a little cheaper, a fundamentally more approachable red wine, or something else entirely.

The world (or someone in Germany) decided that today, March 13th, is Riesling's birthday (apparently the 1st mention in recorded history). How old is Riesling? 591 years young. That's a lot of candles. Definitely worth celebrating one of the world's greatest wine grapes. Cheers!

Innocent until proven guilty, and the old saw about being able to indict a ham sandwich notwithstanding.... this is pretty big for the wine world, and seems to anecdotally jive with what industry insiders have been saying for years...

Oh! So sad to hear that author Dan Simmons passed away last week from a stroke at the age of 77. Hyperion is one of the greatest Science Fiction novels ever written, in my not-so-humble opinion. His talent will be missed. RIP.

Community note FTW.

Border Patrol agents left a partially blind refugee who spoke little English in the parking lot of a Buffalo coffee shop on Feb. 19, according to security camera footage reviewed by The Post. He was found dead five days later.

This month for subscribers of @JancisRobinson I’ve done a deep dive into the wine that so many love but virtually none can sell: California Riesling. www.vinography.com/2... #winethreads

So I didn't keep perfect track, but it looks to me from my notes that the Premiere Napa Valley Auction #pnv2026 raised about $2.7 million today, with an average per-case price of about $2250. That's significantly down (18.5%) from $3.3 million in 2025.

Tasting through more than 50 California Rieslings this afternoon - my deepest dive into the category ever - and very impressed with a number of wines. People are figuring this grape out.

Wait, people are calling blends of red and white grapes "blouge" wines now? What the hell was wrong with blush, people? At least everyone can pronounce it correctly the first time! www.economist.com/cu...

My weekly sip through a bunch of press samples last week was all about fine Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from both California and Oregon. There are some spectacular bottles here to recommend. www.vinography.com/2... #winethreads
