Latest Wine Headlines: March 17–21

So, this week just flew by. But welcome to your weekly wine news round up. Short but sweet. As most of you know the 200% tariff situation continues to dominate headlines. I have only included one on my list this week—the one that I think is the most well-rounded, eloquently stated and explains things in a way that if you’re super confused about how this effects the industry on a global and local scale, explains it in a digestible way. But you’ll have to scroll aaaaaaalllll the way to the blogs to read it.

I’ve also got a bit of shameless self promotion, some wine nerdy things and other bits and bobs sprinkled about.

That’s it. The end.

Snarky comments are all my own. ✌️🥂

Here we are, end of another week and, if you’re like me, lots of catching up to do with the news. No surprise, the leading headlines are all about the tariff conundrum. This may sound naive, but, can’t we all just get along?

You’ll also find some shameless self-promotion, some great scientific studies, and more.

Buona lettura.

Hello my people. This will be the last post for a few weeks, as I’ll be traveling off and on the first two weeks of August. First stop, Paso Robles for our annual media conference; then, Healdsburg to help out with the Murphy Goode Really Goode Job scholarship program where I’ll get to help select the next interns for 2023. In the middle of all that I’ll also be speaking at this year’s Wine Writer’s Symposium about “The Art of the Interview.”

And, another professional announcement: As of this week, I’ve been honored to add California Wine Reviewer to my role as Senior Editor for Wine Enthusiast. This will encompass Lodi, Mendocino County, Lake County, Central Valley, Sierra Foothills, as well as California appellated wines. My colleague Jim Gordon will step into reviewing wines from Napa and Sonoma; Matt Kettman continues to tackle the Central Coast and Southern California wine scenes.

Oh and my birthday is on Tuesday.

That’s all. Cheers!

Hello my friends. It’s been a hot second since I’ve been able to post anything, even a cheeky round-up. Well, here you go. A list of just a few of the articles, blog posts, and news releases that caught my attention this week. There certainly is a lot and I hope I captured a well-rounded look at our current food and drinks industry.

On a personal note, I plan to post an update about all the things that are happening on my end. There’s a lot. Luckily there will be (quite) a few press releases going out that will announce some of these updates—so keep your eyes out for those and I’ll try to link to them here as well.

Alright, now it’s time to breathe deep cleansing breaths. *Inhale…the wine…* *Exhale…the good times…*
