A Journey Through Wine - http://ajourneythroughwine.blogspot.com/
I loved this article from the Lancaster Farming website by Chris Torres, “A Systems Approach to Organic.”
It’s a quick, and fascinating, read about how California winemakers recently demonstrated to local growers — in a workshop sponsored by our unbeatable local resource, the Penn State Cooperative Extension — those methods proven to create healthy soil and raise organic vines notwithstanding our sticky climate on the East Coast. Apparently, the basic components for sustainable (and soil loving) agriculture remain the same no matter the location: employing integrated pest management (IPM), using minimal tillage and herbicides, increasing biodiversity, and introducing cover crops doused with ample compost. In fact, one local winemaker, Ed Boyce of Black Ankle Vineyards, has taken to using dish soap and canola oil to control pests, and hand weeding to control weeds. This doesn’t make for cheap wines — his starting prices reach $26 a bottle — but how wonderful that the sustainable ethos is spreading to an area with as many winemaking challenges as we find here in the tristate area.
This piece also reminded me of a lovely portrait of a New Zealand winemaker in the Guardian a few weeks back. “A Working life: The Winemaker“, by Mark Tran, will take you on a stroll through Chapel Down’s vineyards with winemaker Andrew Parley who, while detailing the vast amounts of hard work that go into production, still conveys the love of soil and craft that spurs winemakers through each bud break and harvest season. Don’t miss the snapshot of what it’s really like to live full-time in the world of wine at the end of the article.
Props to the British government: its wine cellar reportedly holds bottles valued in excess of $1.3M from the likes of Chateaux Lafite, Margaux, and Mouton Rothschild. The wines are apparently at the disposal of the British foreign services department during lavish state banquets. Although officials assure the British public that all these beauties were purchased at below market rates, many are calling for a complete divestment in light of crushing budget deficits. Interested to know which dignitaries are treated to the top shelf selections? Unfortunately that’s considered “commercially sensitive” information. One sure thing: those civil servants gifted with the job of sampling from this cave are among the luckiest government stiffs ever. The full BBC report here.
