The best wines to pair with torta pasqualina

1 week ago | worldoffinewine.com | Joanna Simon

One of the most distinctive and evocative features of a traditional torta pasqualina, Liguria’s popular Eastertide savory pie, is that it was made with 33 layers of pastry, one for each year of Christ’s life.
Wine in history: The world’s oldest wine

1 week ago | worldoffinewine.com | Stuart Walton |Hugh Johnson

Stuart Walton on the contents of the 2,000-year-old glass urn discovered at a Roman necropolis in Carmona near Seville. For well over a century, it was believed that the oldest surviving wine to come to light through archaeological excavations was the so-called Speyer bottle.
Prestige Cuvée Rosé with Marina Olsson

1 week ago | worldoffinewine.com | Simon MW

Rosé Champagne has taken some time to shake off a reputation for frivolity. Bollinger did not presume to make a Non-Vintage Cuvée until 2008, several decades after the death of the family’s eponymous matriarch, who was not, we infer, a great fan. Best left to the Folies Bergère or, heaven forfend, to the Moulin Rouge (Moulin Rosé?!). And as for Vintage Rosé…well, there we have had an amusing oxymoron to ponder.
From the vaults: Hidalgo—a Sanlúcar story

1 week ago | worldoffinewine.com | Simon MW

In a piece first published in WFW68 in 2020, Simon Field MW learns of a winemaking approach based on the twinned terroirs of vineyard and cellar when he visits Hidalgo’s home in Sanlúcar de Barrameda during the coastal town’s annual equestrian fiesta. It is hard, ordinarily, to believe that Sanlúcar de Barrameda is one of the poorest towns in Spain.
Seeking closure once and for all? Cork versus screwcap versus Diam

2 weeks ago | worldoffinewine.com | Sarah Marsh MW

A sunny winter’s day found me striding alongside the River Thames to Farr Vintners in London for a tasting of cork versus screw cap, largely from Guffens-Heynen, in a vertical that stretched back to 2003. You might suppose this face-off would be a forgone conclusion, particularly for wines many years in bottle, but on the contrary, the exercise was full of surprises. The first small surprise was the presence of Diam.
Oregon Pinot Noir: Tasting tenderness, intricacy, and grace

2 weeks ago | worldoffinewine.com | Andrew Jefford

Andrew Jefford, Anthony Rose, and David Williams taste a consistently high-quality line-up of Pinot Noirs from Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Oregon Pinot Noir: Staying true to the Pinot idealWalter Scott Koosah Vineyard Willamette Valley Eola-Amity Hills 2021 (13.5% ABV) |93AJ | Dark black-red. Sweet, warm, rounded, and complete: very enticing aromas here. Sweet fruits and truffley depths. A touch of struck match for the hipsters.
Oregon Pinot Noir: Staying true to the Pinot ideal

2 weeks ago | worldoffinewine.com | Andrew Jefford

Andrew Jefford introduces a tasting of Oregon Pinot Noir shared with Anthony Rose and David Williams. Early 2025 will mark 60 years since David Lett first planted Pinot Noir in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. They weren’t the state’s first Pinot plantings—those took root in 1961 farther south, in the Umpqua Valley; while wine vines in general (notably “Klevner”) have been grown in the state since the 1880s. Few 20th-century planting gestures have been as significant as Lett’s, though.
From workhorses to thoroughbreds

3 weeks ago | worldoffinewine.com | David Schildknecht

David Schildknecht considers the changing fortunes of once-derided grape varieties such as Carignan, Aligoté, and Palomino. Ostensibly workhorse grapes sometimes gain luster thanks to prestigious champions. But it doesn’t take famous growers to raise the profile of a workhorse dramatically. Consider Carignan.
Gutter & Stars: Looking up

3 weeks ago | worldoffinewine.com | Margaret Rand

It is,” I said to my friend Clare, with whom I had a coffee after visiting Gutter & Stars, “about from here to that wall.” She burst out laughing; I was quite close to the wall. “It” is Gutter & Stars’ urban winery, all 38 square yards (32 sq m) of it—though they should probably be octagonal yards. Yes, the winery is octagonal. It’s in the basement of a windmill; the ceiling is 6ft (2m) high, give or take a bit, and the walls slope gently inward.
2024 Burgundy: Over the rainbow

3 weeks ago | worldoffinewine.com | Neil Beckett |Neil Becket

Neil Beckett reports on the 2024 Burgundy vintage. As a Scot who grew up on the country’s Atlantic coast, I was able to express what I hope came across as genuine sympathy when listening to the many tales of weather woe related by Burgundy vignerons after the exceptionally challenging and wet 2024 growing season.
