Everyone loves lists, don't they? Well, here you go.. https://t.co/G7cIYJGhVJ There are wines from across the globe, Bordeaux, Champagne, Rhone, Roussillon, Napa, Oregon, Central Coast, Santa Cruz, Sonoma, Spain & Washington.
Our first of many in-depth reports on this region, and as @AudreyFrickNYC says in her article, the new releases coming to the market give readers a lot to be excited about. The report covers 92 producers (both big and small) and close to 400 wines. https://t.co/99AEFO8y5e

A few articles going out this morning... @AudreyFrickNYC's first Oregon report, the latest releases from Chateau Latour, and some Bordeaux whites and Sauternes.
As @AudreyFrickNYC says in her article, the 2020 growing season was unquestionably one of extreme challenges. Nevertheless, she gives you the information you need to navigate this vintage and make informed buying decisions. https://t.co/GWOILkT2Sp
We do our best to eat and drink well when @AudreyFrickNYC comes into town! Some great bottles (sadly, the ‘82 LMHB was corked) and another brilliant meal with @FrascaFoodWine
