Great insight into how the D.O.Cava has responded to issues of low quality perception from its top producers, who abandoned the designation, and are focused on improving quality and perception on a number of fronts @imbibe@xoBetseyJohnson#cava

A lovely tribute to #wine in today’s uncertain climate. Wine is more than a drink; it captures a moment in time from a specific place, great wine is one of the only agricultural products that improves with time. It is time and place captured in a bottle . @EricAsimov
Excellent article on the strategy behind @LVMH 's sponsorship of #2024olympics in Paris 2 particular things stand out 1. how they are integrating their brands into the game 2. this is all about aspirational branding for the next gen @tomlamont@GQSports

Glad to see a little pushback against "non-alcoholic wine."
Grapes naturally become wine. NA "wine" is a heavily manipulated unnatural product.

Very sad to see this over the weekend. Ed was always a pleasure to run into at tastings in NYC. I’m sure he’s enjoying a top vintage Champagne now. Cheers to Ed!
"Their first official date occurred at The Gramercy Park Hotel at a Champagne tasting where Mary spilled a glass of Bollinger La Grande Année (the agreed upon best wine of the night) in Ed’s lap.
He was smitten."

Hey #winetwitter - are you a person who identifies as BIPOC and is trying to break in or get ahead in the wine business? How about an all-expenses-paid immersion into Burgundy with the people who know it better than just about anyone? https://t.co/UAdYF5VTHN
Late to the game on this, but the best and most thorough explanation of what #naturalwine is and isn't, and how it came to be that way. @VinePair@WineSkoolD#wineeducation https://t.co/BQ0HOqS5B6
