In this column, Vogtland will discuss the latest trends in wine, from what bottles and regions are blowing up to the newest cocktail crazes. This week, Sven talks about what wine to pair with the most popular of Italian foods: pizza."For me, wine is about where you are at and who you are drinking

September 27, 2007Cheap Wine That Doesn't Suck: Good, Cheap Pinot
Photo by Flickr user chickeninthewoodsCheap pinot noir is a moron. Cheap, good pinot noir is an oxymoron. Pinot noir, you see, is the Sarah Palin of grapes -- flighty, erratic, unpredictable, hard to handle -- though unlike the nitwit from Wasilla, the result can be anything but simple and stupid. It's that ornery nature that demands exceptional skill from the winemaker, not to mention exceptional fruit, typically produced from low-yielding vines planted in limited areas
July 20, 2009Charlie's Guide to Speaking Wine, or, How to Bullshit Wine Drinkers
The world of wine speaks a language all its own. Urdu, mostly. With a soupcon of bullshit and a faint whiff of pretension. So in keeping with Clean Plate Charlie's commitment to calling a spade a goddamned shovel, he presents this modest glossary of wine terms for your amusement, edification, and eventual disposal. Cheers! Bouquet, n. Aroma; alternately, stench Cork, n. An enclosure that ruins almost as much wine as it protects Corkage, n. The process by which a restaurant inflate
July 30, 2009Cheap Wine That Doesn't Suck: The Underdog Sauvignon Blanc
Photo by Bill CitaraSauvignon Blanc is forever the underdog, settling for whatever flickers of limelight its better-known Chardonnay partner might cast aside. But Sauvignon Blanc actually has much to offer. For one, it's almost always cheaper than Chardonnay, which can demand premium prices no matter how insipid the wine in the bottle. For another, it usually has real varietal character, unlike the vast, dreary number of Chardonnays that taste less of good, honest fruit than of overripe

August 20, 2009Cheap Wine That Doesn't Suck: South America's Mighty Malbec
Every wine-producing region has its iconic wine. The Napa Valley has Cabernet Sauvignon; France, Bordeaux; Italy, Chianti; Spain, Rioja; Australia, Shiraz; Chile, Carménère. And Argentina has malbec. Like its South American cousin, malbec is one of the "noble grapes" of Bordeaux (along with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot). Also like Carménère, it was brought to the New World from France in the mid-1800s; its affinity for warm weather and need for

The story of Robert Mondavi is as depressing as it is inspirational. Probably no single person did more to put California on the world wine map, not only as a vintner who produced wines that rivaled some of the best of Europe but as an evangelist of New World wines, an industry power who used his influence to help it grow and improve, a benefactor of numerous causes, and a spokesman for a more civilized lifestyle of which food and wine were integral parts. Eventually it all went to hell
September 8, 2009Cheap Wine That Doesn't Suck
Pinot noir that actually tastes like pinot noir is becoming about as rare as brain cells at a birthers' convention, as winemakers pimp out this most perfect of all varietals with gobs of fruit and cords of oak and enough alcohol to stir into a martini. Cheap pinot noir that actually tastes like pinot noir is ever rarer than that, as it's a finicky, difficult, high-maintenance grape, the enological equivalent of Lindsay Lohan. So when you run across a pinot noir with the smok

As part of his continuing campaign to free wine drinkers from the shackles of chardonnay, Clean Plate Charlie presents. . . torrontes. WTF? TF, not to put too fine a point on it, is the biggest white wine grape in (and the only indigenous grape to) Argentina. If you've never heard of it, well, that's pretty F'd up, because when done right torrontes makes a lovely wine--crisp without the puckery tartness of sauvignon blanc, floral without the sweetness of many rieslings

No wine gets a blanc stare faster than Chenin Blanc. It may be the white wine grape of France's Loire Valley, but in these parts, you see it about as often as snow drifts on Ocean Drive. It had a few minutes of fame in the 1960s and 1970s and showed up in more than its share of cheap white wine blends, but unless you go to South Africa or France, your chances of finding Chenin Blanc as a standalone varietal are pretty small. This is really quite the pisser, as Chenin Blanc can be made

Familiarity, sometimes, breeds content. Take Castello di Gabbiano. The wines of this 900-year-old Tuscan winery are as ubiquitous as bad drivers on I-95, stocking the shelves of just about every place from mass-market grocers to tiny neighborhood wine shops. So it's easy to look down our long, snooty wine noses and sniff something about grape juice for peasants. Most sniffable of all are two of Gabbiano's wines most recognizable in the U.S.--Chianti and Pinot Grigio. I haven't always be

Three of the iconic white wine grapes in France's Goats Do Roam region are Viognier, Grenache Blanc and Roussanne. Uh, actually, that would be Cotes du Rhone, but to a South African vintner with a sense of humor (and an apparent affection for mondegreens), it would be a cool thing to tweak the stuffy French wine world and give wine drinkers a giggle by naming his line of Rhone-style wines after the goats that do, in fact, roam on his Western Cape estate. So Charles Back created Goats Do

When Piero Antinori produced the first Tignanello in the 1971, it was a real kick in the ass to rule- and tradition-bound Tuscan winemakers, most of whom had long been make Chianti in accordance with government regulation. At first 100 percent Sangiovese, later blended with varying amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon, this debut "Super Tuscan" (so named by wine writer Robert Parker) created a whole new style (and profit center) of Italian wine. Tignanello is an extraordinary wine that manifes
