A tasting of one of California?s top sparkling wine producers
Sonoma county is relatively well known for a number of reputable sparkling wine producers, who make bubblies in the traditional Champagne method (i.e. second fermentation in the bottle). In my mind, with all due respect to all other methods of getting CO2 into a wine, the method of Champagne is the only way to go for any serious drinkin'! And while nothing touches Champagne itself (with the exception of perhaps Italy's Franciacorta and Trento DOC), our traditional method domestics from Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino counties, such as Roederer Estate, Domaine Chandon, Mumm, Domaine Carneros, Schramsberg and Gloria Ferrer, are not bad at all, and offer really delicious and cheaper alternatives, and a sense of patriotism...

A Tough Reminder
As I sit in the middle of what has to be referred to as the holiday rush, there are still signs that the wine industry as a whole has some issues.

The Promiscuous Pinot Noir: the family tree of Austria?s red grapes
Rumor has is that one day, a long, long time ago, the ancient grapes Traminer and Pinot Meunier got together for some fun. Well, one thing led to another and they ended up crossing. Not long after, Pinot Noir showed up.
Pinot Noir had a good enough relationship with one of its parents, Pinot Meunier, spending a great deal in Champagne together, but something was missing. Pinot Noir feeling rejected and ignored by Traminer, the parent it rarely, if ever, saw, the spicy Pinot Noir took off in its see-through red dress to ensure its own lineage.
Well, Pinot Noir traveled far and wide, finding grapes to cross with wherever it went ? sometimes it didn?t even know the other grape?s name. Ultimately, its travels spawned all sorts of offspring, though none could ever be as fickle as the neurotic Pinot Noir...
