It’s a pattern that’s repeated time and again. A hot, sun-drenched summer and the mainstream press trumpets the next great vintage virtually before the grapes are picked. Prices almost invariably rise as casual wine lovers stampede to purchase the wines.
Can you name a particular winemaker who has had the most influence on your own winemaking vision, style and techniques, and why? Or, is there a particular wine that made you say, “I want to make something like that.” Not exactly like that, as in a copy,
Based on your own personal wine-drinking experience in recent years, what do you consider to be the most undervalued (underrated, underpriced) category of wines in the world, and why? (And don’t hesitate to name a few specific examples of the category th
A common lament of fans (like me) of bracing, mineral-driven white wines is that dry European rieslings—namely, wines from Alsace, Germany and Austria—have become increasingly difficult to find in the U.S. While some fine European examples, notably Austr
What’s the most important thing you have learned about grape-growing and/or winemaking this year? Joel Peterson, Ravenswood Winery (Sonoma, California). I learned that the cleanest fruit doesn’t always make the best wine. This year, because of the timing

Adolfo Hurtado, chief winemaker of Cono Sur, has revealed he thinks Peru has the potential to be the world’s next big wine region
I've been to the United States 60 times in 11 years
I want to make something like that.
The 2007 The Dry Dam Riesling reveals aromas of mineral, petrol, and spring flowers. Crisp, dry, vibrant, and intensely flavored, it should evolve for 5-7 years and drink well for a decade thereafter.

It’s a classic vintage for the Barossa.
Almost all the red grapes have been picked already, with high sugars that will result in high alcohol levels, but still with aggressive tannins
Semillon looks excellent and classic, [and] low-alcohol Hunter Valley dry reds are going to be the feature of 2012
It was a rollercoaster vintage and we were saved by the bell of an Indian summer, with Shiraz, laden with spice, showing great finesse
exceptional year and a hypothetical cross between 1994, 2002 and 2005.
It's during the challenging years that Martinborough comes to the fore ... Pinot Noir is 25% down, but with the smaller crop, the fruit has ripened, even with below average weather.
It’s an outstanding year for Riesling
Cabernet wines are elegant and perfumed with Merlot also a standout
Chardonnay seems to be the star of the crush so far
I’m seeing a lot of color, tannins and healthy grapes. For the whites, the harvest was a little early because of the heat in January that advanced things along. Also the low yields in general made for more concentrated grapes.
It’s an excellent year, with Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc the standouts.
The fruit has excellent flavor and balance, and I am really excited about the quality potential
I have a lot of work to do in the winery this year, and I expect lush red wines in 2012.
Sauvignon Blanc is still being harvested, but the flavors are possibly the most intense I have tasted and the Pinot Noir is the best I've seen
Quality overall is very good
While we are happy with our results, Sauvignon Blanc this year will probably not reach its potential ... For varieties like Chardonnay and even Viognier that can resist higher temperatures, it could turn out to be a really good year.
Syrah is a real highlight and Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir look excellent
We have not quite finished the harvest, but if the weather remains stable and we have no frost until the end of April, the quality will be extraordinary and homogeneous across all varietals
