@emilejoubert LOL. Perhaps you’re confusing me with a Silicon Valley tech bro? Can’t afford bottles like that even if I did want them in my cellar. Thankfully none of my Matthiasson rosé spilled…

I think South Africa is the most exciting wine-producing region on the planet right now. Here's the first of two articles about that, and how the reasons aren't the obvious ones: https://t.co/yBnhXpskXj #winethreads

Earthquake in Oakland just now. Dishes wobbling in the kitchen.

Oh goddamit. Not Jukesie. What a f*cking tragedy. Godspeed brother. https://t.co/nvb5xgj7Yh

I'm no natural wine evangelist as a rule, but this situation in Slovenia is ridiculous and dangerous. Read Simon's article and sign the petition. https://t.co/08SJiH8Gsi

Hey wine lovers, here's your weekly suggested reading list, culled from all the stuff I read about wine that was published last week on the internet. https://t.co/DdZg82ByoT #winethreads

A really lovely piece worth reading by Ray Isle about experiencing the security crisis in Guadalajara firsthand. https://t.co/fDPOf9rTpa

RIP David Hirsch. Another absolute legend of California wine lost. This one hits harder than most.

[Alder Yarrow @vinography]

Calling winemakers to get some quotes for a story I'm working on, and some are saying, "Sorry, can't talk, we've started harvest." And they're not harvesting grapes for sparkling wine. That was last week and the week before. It's July 24th FFS.

Love wine? Got a little extra time on your hands this weekend (or are you the type who will change your plans to taste some really excellent wine?) Check out the Unfiltered Wine Festival in Berkeley - https://t.co/jBeBHf2TjF

Hug your favorite old vine today(gently) it’s Old Vine Day! Then go open (or buy) a bottle of old vine wine so we can keep ‘em in the ground! #oldvines @ouroldvines @oldvineproject

You know it's hot when you have to ask for new ice in your wine's ice bucket three times over the course of dinner and the wine still never quite gets cold enough. #firstworldproblems for sure. #parisheatdome

DAMMIT! NOT SAM NEILL!! A shocking and unexpected loss to hear about this morning. Those of us connected to NZ wine knew not the immensely talented Hollywood celeb, but a kind, funny man who loved an ugly pig, a farm, an industry, and a country. RIP. You'll be sorely missed.

@bonkowskimw So how do we think a 1 grape estate “earns” 3 grapes? Does it take one generation of ownership or two? 😆

[Alder Yarrow @vinography]

So wine world, what do we think about Michelin's new ratings for Burgundy? Only 94 producers highlighted, and only nine 3-grape ratings. The "reviews" if you can call them that, are befuddling. Some reference specific vintages, others are generic AF. https://t.co/YHMTggXsDv
