Wines Aged in Spirit Barrels

Barrel-aging is a key attribute to winemaking. It’s part of the process that is called élevage, which in French refers to maturing of flavors that happens during bottling and fermenting. Back in the 1600s, the barrel was actually used for storing and while we no longer need to store in the same way, we’ve gotten - Read More

Italy – Discover the Primitivo Grape

If you’ve heard of Zinfandel, then you are aware (perhaps unknowingly) of its twin, Primitivo.

Why Do You Age Red Wine But Not White Wine?

We regularly talk about vintages, and how many years a wine is good for, or how long the vintner aged their wine before selling it. However, you may have noticed we really only discuss this in regards to red wines, not white. So why is this? Why do we age red wines instead of whites? - Read More
