  • JASON WISE (Director): SOMM 3
    Book Reviews 423 JASON WISE (Director): SOMM 3. Written by Christina Wise and Jason Wise, Produced by Forgotten Man Films, Distributed by Samuel Goldwyn Films, 2018; 1 h 18 min. This is the third in a trilogy of documentaries about the wine world from Jason Wise. The first—Somm, a marvelous film which I reviewed for this Journal in 2013 (Stavins, 2013)–followed a group of four thirty-something sommeliers as they prepared for the exam that would permit them to join the Court of Master Sommeliers, the pinnacle of the profession, a level achieved by only 200 people glob- ally over half a century. The second in the series—Somm: Into the Bottle—provided an exploration of the many elements that go into producing a bottle of wine. And the third—Somm 3—unites its predecessors by combining information and evocative scenes with a genuine dramatic arc, which may not have you on pins and needles as the first film did, but nevertheless provides what is needed to create a film that should not be missed by oenophiles, and many others for that matter. Before going further, I must take note of some unfortunate, even tragic events that have recently involved the segment of the wine industry—sommeliers—featured in this and the previous films in the series. Five years after the original Somm was released, a cheating scandal rocked the Court of Master Sommeliers, when the results of the tasting portion of the 2018 exam were invalidated because a proctor had disclosed confidential test information the day of the exam.

  • 2013/2014 VINTAGES Dear Friend
    2013/2014 VINTAGES Dear Friend, Fifteen years ago, my father purchased a small organic farm on the extreme Sonoma Coast and embarked on his journey to grow world class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Upon Helen Turley’s declaration that this area was destined to be “the La Tâche of California”, he and David Abreu planted thirty acres with a diverse and thoughtful selection of clones and rootstocks. Set at high-density intervals, the vines burrow deeply and produce concentrated berries. Today, we are reaping the benefits of their vision and hard work, with mature vines that produce a vibrant spectrum of single vineyard fruit. The full expression of the site can be best enjoyed in our estate vineyard blends, the 2014 Wayfarer Vineyard Chardonnay and the 2014 Wayfarer Vineyard Pinot Noir. This vintage is open and generous right out of the bottle, possessing soft tannins, great acidity and a distinctive minerality. Each year we set aside small amounts of Pinot Noir from those clones which display exceptional character and balance, and bottle them as four stand-alone cuvees: “Mother Rock” shows a deep, earthy flintiness and velvety texture; “Golden Mean” is aromatic and bold with a bright acidity; “Paige’s Ridge” is rich and ripe, most true to a California-style; and “The Traveler” is ethereal and provocative, the most Burgundian in style. For the next five years, we recommend that you decant these wines for at least an hour before serving. Our sincere thanks for your eager support of Wayfarer. It’s been the realization of a decades-long dream and we are proud to share it with you.

  • Peter Michael's Quest How an Englishman Carved a Great Winery out of a California Mountain
    Home > Magazine Archives > Nov. 15, 2014 Issue > Features Peter Michael's Quest How an Englishman carved a great winery out of a California mountain Tim Fish Issue: November 15, 2014 Knights Valley is not the sort of place an English gentleman simply stumbles upon. A secluded patch of Sonoma County, it is tucked among mountains and accessible by a tangle of country roads. There are no towns and only a few homes. It's a beautiful parcel of California, unruffled by time or development, a place more likely to be lost than found. But an Englishman on a quest somehow found his way there. Peter Michael traveled 6,000 miles, from London to Sonoma, on a mission that took him from extraordinary success in the high-tech world to a risky startup in the wine business. Now, after more than 30 years of hard work and investment, Michael, 76, can look back on a dream that is well and truly fulfilled. Peter Michael Winery has reached the pinnacle of California wine. With remarkable consistency, it excels with many different grapes and vineyards. View the entire table of contents Since 1997, eight of its wines have earned spots on Wine Spectator's Top 100 for the Nov. 15, 2014 issue lists, and three of those made the Top 10. See Also The winery's flagship is the Cabernet blend Les Pavots, from the home estate in Knights Valley. This powerful, balanced red routinely earns classic ratings The Vineyards of Peter Michael (95 points or higher on the Wine Spectator 100-point scale); as it ages, it Winery takes on texture and aromatics reminiscent of a fine Bordeaux.

  • That Paris Judgment 40 Years On
    Written by Jancis Robinson 9 Jul 2016 That Paris judgment 40 years on A shorter version of this article is published by the Financial Times. When his grandson asks him why he is famous, wine writer Steven Spurrier (http://www.jancisrobinson.com/articles/tt-steven-spurrier-champion-of-french-wines) shows him George M Taber's book Judgment of Paris, a tangible reminder of the fateful blind tasting of California and top French wines he organised on 24 May 1976. In this 40th anniversary year, Spurrier has been travelling the globe – to Florida, California, Washington DC, Paris and at least five commemorative events in and around London (including this one at Sager & Wilde (http://www.jancisrobinson.com/articles/judgment-of-paris-a-40th-anniversary-rerun) , reported on recently by Julia, and this one at Christie's (http://www.jancisrobinson.com/articles/napa-valley-veterans) , reported on this week by me) – so long lasting, if slow burning, have been the effects of what he called at one celebration at Christie's, London, last month 'a template whereby unknown wines of quality could go against famous ones'. A bottle of each of the winning California wines are even part of the Smithsonian museums' collection of '101 Objects that Made America'. In 1976 it was only 10 years into the modern era of Napa Valley. The Robert Mondavi Winery, the first new wine operation of any size to have broken ground there since Prohibition, has just celebrated its half century (as reported here (http://www.jancisrobinson.com/articles/mondavi-retrospective-a-napa-history-lesson) by Elaine Chukan Brown).

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, IRVINE Wine, Fraud and Expertise THESIS submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in Social Ecology by Valerie King Thesis Committee: Professor Simon Cole, Chair Assistant Professor Bryan Sykes Professor George Tita 2015 © 2019 Valerie King TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ABSTRACT iv INTRODUCTION 1 I. FINE WINE AND COLLECTOR FRAUD 4 II. WINE, SUBJECTIVITY AND SCIENCE 20 III. WHO IS A WINE FRAUD EXPERT? 23 CONCLUSION 28 REFERENCES 30 ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my committee members, Professor Simon Cole, Assistant Professor Bryan Sykes and Professor George Tita. iii ABSTRACT Wine, Fraud and Expertise By Valerie King Master of Arts in Social Ecology University of California, Irvine, 2019 Professor Simon Cole, Chair While fraud has existed in various forms throughout the history of wine, the establishment of the fine and rare wine market generated increased opportunities and incentives for producing counterfeit wine. In the contemporary fine and rare wine market, wine fraud is a serious concern. The past several decades witnessed significant events of fine wine forgery, including the infamous Jefferson bottles and the more recent large-scale counterfeit operation orchestrated by Rudy Kurniawan. These events prompted and renewed market interest in wine authentication and fraud detection. Expertise in wine is characterized by the relationship between subjective and objective judgments. The development of the wine fraud expert draws attention to the emergence of expertise as an industry response to wine fraud and the relationship between expert judgment and modern science. iv INTRODUCTION In December 1985, at Christie’s of London, a single bottle of 1787 Château Lafitte Bordeaux, was auctioned for $156,000, setting a record for the most expensive bottle of wine ever sold (Wallace 2008).

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Boisset Collection Introduces Steven Spurrier's Bride Valley English Sparkling Wine at a 'Judgement Of
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Boisset Collection Introduces Steven Spurrier’s Bride Valley English Sparkling Wine at a ‘Judgement of Napa’ Event at Raymond Vineyards, in honor of the 40th Anniversary of the ‘Judgement of Paris’ St. Helena, CA (May 16, 2016) – On Sunday, May 15th, 2016, Raymond Vineyards held an exclusive, by-invitation-only event called the ‘Judgement of Napa’ for members of the media, trade and key influencers within Napa Valley to launch Steven Spurrier’s Bride Valley English Sparkling Wine to the US. The event also celebrated and honored the history and legacy of the ‘Judgement of Paris’ and Spurrier’s contribution to the historical event, which launched Napa Valley wines onto the world stage and influenced how we think of Napa Valley wines today. Spurrier flew in from England for the event and was alongside Raymond Proprietor Jean-Charles Boisset to host the blind tasting, which matched Spurrier’s Bride Valley English Sparkling Blanc de Blancs 2013 in a friendly competition against Boisset’s JCB No. 9 Russian River Valley Brut Blanc de Blancs 2009. Guests were invited to vote for their favorite and the winning wine was the JCB No. 9 Russian River Valley Brut Blanc de Blancs. Once again, California captured the voter’s hearts as the favorite, and it was a fitting tribute paying homage to the original event which took place on May 24th, 1976. This was the first time that anyone could taste and purchase the Bride Valley English Sparkling Blanc de Blancs 2013 in the U.S. and special commemorative gift sets were available to those who attended.
