Newsweek: Fall Equinox Means Red Wine Season: 9 Bottles to Celebrate the Official End of Summer – Featuring Kumeu River
Read the original article by Janice Williams at newsweek.com "Fall equinox may be the official end of summer, but the seasonal entry marks yet an even more special time—the start of red wine season.

Wine Spectator: 9 Beaujolais Red to Drink After Labor Day
Wine Spectator: 9 Beaujolais Red to Drink After Labor Day
Read the Full article at WineSpectator.com "While Beaujolais can be enjoyed year-round, the light-bodied, refreshing nature of Gamay makes these wines perfect for the summer, and a reintroduction to reds as the fall rears its head.

The Wine Advocate: My Visit to Biondi-Santi
Published July 31, 2019 By Monica Larner I set off to my appointment at Il Greppo, the venerated home of Biondi-Santi.

This visit gave me my first opportunity to meet and spend some time with incoming General...
