  Pendock Uncorked — Authority: 119
  The Widow, gossip persona of Platter “editor” Tim James, is like Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction. Just when you think it’s all over and Michael Douglas has drowned her in the bath, she comes back to life, screaming with a kitchen knife. Tim’s intended victim this time is Clayton Reabow, Diners Club Young ...

  Liv-ex Fine Wine Market Blog — Authority: 410
  Is the 2007 vintage in Chateauneuf du Pape the greatest the region has ever seen? Robert Parker certainly believes so. His report, released earlier this month, provided us with a surfeit of superlatives and nine 100-point scores. Parker declares it...

  Cortes de Cima — Authority: 114

I just attended a weekend wine fair in Lisbon, Encontro com o Vinho ,  where I had a great chance to not only talk directly to consumers and trade customers, but also many fellow Portuguese wine producers. Although the conversation with my winemaking ...

  Blogs and the future of wine writing I want to get a post up about my experiences of the Wine Future conference, but before I do that, I want to address something that has bothered me since the final session.

• Does Coffee Reduce Diversity?

  
  Pendock Uncorked — Authority: 119
  As the conversation flurried around the circular lunch table at La Colombe yesterday like the low flying clouds rushing around outside in confusion as yet another cold front hit the Cape peninsula (Duncan Savage has already lost half the potential fruit from his Cape Point Isliedh vineyard), conversation turned to ...

  wineconversation.com — Authority: 513
  I’ve only just returned from the European Wine Bloggers Conference (EWBC) in Lisbon, but instead of collecting my thoughts and writing them up, I was straight into the next project which was to be the voice in social media of The Wine Gang at their first wine tasting. The Wine Gang (Olly Smith, Tim Atkin, ...

• Weekender to close: the Silver Lining

  
  Pendock Uncorked — Authority: 119
  The bombshell that this is the last weekend of the Weekender evoked the usual progression of emotions running the gamut from D to D: dismay, disgust, despair. From the B-(Bacchanalian) perspective, it’s yet another nail in the coffin of wine hackery with the loss of yet another wine column although agile Michael ...

• Fermat’s Last Theorem in Russian

  
  Pendock Uncorked — Authority: 119
  The Weekend FT is just about the best international airport read there is. There is the extravagantly punctuated Tyler Brûlé as columnist to get the blood pumping and the book reviews are good. The wine column is often too expensive, Australian or French for my palate but the Sunday before last I was [...]No ...

• Terroir or Tekkies?

  
  Pendock Uncorked — Authority: 121
  My Sunday Times column on the rise of fashion wine made by celebrity winemakers, prompted by spectacular prices realized at the Cape Winemakers Guild Auction earlier this month, evoked an exasperated e-mail response from one of the best known winemakers in SA. Of the several points he made, the most telling was ...
