  • The Choice for Rosé Glass Bottles
    sales & marketing The Choice for Rosé Glass Bottles is… Clear Bottling Rosé in flint glass bottles is traditional, acceptable and preferable as wine consumers both expect and prefer to see the color of Rosé wine before purchase. Stacy Briscoe Stacy Briscoe joined Wine Business Monthly in 2018. She has been writing about wine professionally since 2015, freelancing for multiple publications including The San Francisco Chronicle, Edible Communities and Napa Sonoma Magazine, among others. She also maintains her own website dedicated to wine reviews and tasting notes, BriscoeBites.com. Outside of wine writing, she also contributes as a freelance editor for the independent publisher She Writes Press. Stacy has a Bachelor of Arts degree in English-Language Literature from the University of California, Santa Cruz. Key Points • Glass color, shape and decoration all work to communicate Rosé flavor and style. • Wine consumers both expect and prefer to see the color of Rosé wine before purchase. • The color of Rosé affects consumer buying choices. • Because Rosé is intended to be consumed young, lightstrike is of little concern. IT’S NO SECRET THAT the popularity of Rosé-style wine is more than just a passing trend. According to Nielsen’s market research data report, in the last 52 weeks ended July 14, 2018, Rosé saw a 53.9 percent rise in sales, increasing it to a $426 million market. Furthermore, within Rosé table wine, glass bottles represent 93.2 percent of sales, growing at 39.9 percent versus one year ago. So, despite the growing alternative packaging market—cans, bag-in-box, Tetra Packs—consumers are still predominantly reaching for the traditional glass bottles when choosing their next pink drink.

  • BONNY DOON VINEYARDS 2011 Spring Offering
    BONNY DOON VINEYARDS 2011 Spring Offering Like Columbus who sought a trade route to Asia, Randall Grahm set sail in 1979 for the Great American Pinot Noir, foundered on the shoals of astringency and finesselessness and ended up running aground in the utterly unexpected New World of Rhône and Italian grape varieties. Since early 2004, Bonny Doon has practiced strict adherence to Biodynamic viticultural practices. All of the growers with whom they currently work also use strict Biodynamic prac- tices in the farming of grapes which they purchase. Bonny Doon believes that these Biodynamic practices give them the best opportunity to produce the most distinctive and interesting-the best-wines possible. Vin Gris De Cigare 2010 - 12/750ml Net $144 Biodynamically Farmed Just about 15% of this Vin Gris is composed of traditional white Rhône varieties, which adds a surprising richness and foundation to this wine. A small portion of the juice derived from saignee or “bleeding” from the tanks used to produce our Le Cigare Volant. But, in truth, the lion’s share of the Grenache came from bespoke sections of the Alta Loma Vineyard, harvested at the appropriate maturity level for this style of wine. Neither did we engage in much batonage - the stirring or resuspension of lees post-fermentation - with this particular vintage. A simplicity of winemaking protocol really gave us the most frank and elegant expression of these grapes. Le Cigare Volant Blanc 2008 Beeswax Vineyard - 12/750ml Net $216 Biodynamically Farmed From what far-flung, telic appellation might be dispatched a white cigar? Le Cigare Blanc is the white analogue of Le Cigare Volant, our homage to the complex blended wines of Chateauneuf-du-Pape.

    Media only: Valeska Hilbig 202-633-3129; [email protected] June 7, 2018 Jennifer Kerr 202-633-3129; [email protected] Media website: http://newsdesk.si.edu Smithsonian Highlights American-made Rhone Wines National Museum of American History Hosts Sixth Annual Winemakers’ Dinner This June, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History is exploring Rhone grapes and their many expressions in American regions in collaboration with the “Rhone Rangers,” a group of 100 wineries dedicated to making wines from the 22 grape varieties made famous in France’s Rhone Valley. Over the course of two programs, June 18 and 19, “Rhone in the USA” will focus on the history, challenges and opportunities of growing Rhone-grape varieties in different U.S. regions. Originally grown in France, Italy and Spain, Rhone grapes initially were not expected to succeed in America. Through experimentation and hard work, dedicated vintners are bringing American- produced Rhone wines to consumers in the United States. Winemakers’ Dinner The museum will host an intimate Winemakers’ Dinner June 19, an annual signature fundraising event benefitting the museum’s American Food and Wine History Project. The dinner will feature several members of the Rhone Rangers and their wines: Danny Haas, importer, Vineyard Brands, and partner, Tablas Creek Vineyard, Paso Robles, California Shannon Horton, family representative, Horton Vineyards, Gordonsville, Virginia David Gates, senior vice president of Vineyard Operations, Ridge Vineyards, Cupertino and Healdsburg, California Randall Grahm, owner and winemaker, Bonny Doon Vineyard, Santa Cruz, California Doug Margerum, owner and director of Margerum Wine Making Co., Santa Barbara, California Cedric Maupillier, chef proprietor of Convivial in Washington, D.C., has designed a menu to pair with the wines poured by each of the featured vineyards.
