It is clear however that counterfeiting is reaching into all industries where a profit can be made. The wine industry depends on brand value to command a premium price, which constitutes a prime objective for counterfeiters. Counterfeit wines, not only of premium vintages but also of more modestly priced varieties, have been exposed. We discuss the potential losses to the wine industry, the lure of the premium wine market to counterfeiters, as well as possible actions the industry can take to deter counterfeits. * Internal Accession Date Only Approved for External Publication © Copyright 2007 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.

  • Larkmead Vineyards: Single Site, Multiple Terroirs
    LARKMEAD VINEYARDS: SINGLE SITE, MULTIPLE TERROIRS ELIN MC COY, DECANTER, AUGUST 5, 2019 Napa Valley had a rich wine history long before Prohibition, and three of the most celebrated wineries from that bygone era – Inglenook, Beaulieu Vineyards and Beringer – are still famous today. Family-owned Larkmead in Calistoga is a fourth, founded 125 years ago, but, jokes winemaker Dan Petroski, ‘It’s the one you’ve never heard of.’ Larkmead’s modern story began about 20 years ago, and it’s now making some of Napa’s top Cabernets and getting some serious recognition. So when Petroski invited me to a vertical tasting of six vintages of The Lark – the winery’s top Cabernet – that he was staging for collectors before the big-spend Napa wine auction, I emailed back: ‘Yes!’ On the warm summer day, bees were buzzing in the garden around the porch of the sleek, chic white farmhouse and winery designed by architect Howard Backen. The setting is idyllic: you look out on vineyards that stretch across the valley floor from Highway 29 on the west nearly to Silverado Trail on the east. ‘The soils,’ says Petroski, ‘are very diverse. They’re like a snapshot of the whole Napa Valley.’ Before the official tasting, he lined up three early vintages of The Lark and a couple of bottles of Solari, a Cabernet made from the estate’s oldest vines, for me to sample in the bright and airy farmhouse. HISTORY Cam and Kate Solari Baker, the owners, dropped by to reveal amusing tidbits about the winery’s history, which starts with the first owner, colourful Firebelle Lil, who drank bourbon, smoked cigars, and came up with the name Larkmead.

  • Decanter Medoc & Mosel
    RIEDEL Adds to M Collection Decanter Portfolio Medoc and Mosel decanters become the latest addition to Riedel’s extensive selection JANUARY, 2019 - Glassware innovator, Riedel, has unveiled two new decanters, Medoc and Mosel, to add to the company’s M Decanter Collection, which launched in 2017. A beautiful complement to Maximilian J. Riedel’s “M” decanter collection, Medoc and Mosel are ideal for vintage red wines, young white wines, champagnes and orange wine. The tall, slender shape of the optically crafted decanters makes them easy to handle, and perfect to fit in the fridge door. As Maximilian J. Riedel, the designer of these new decanters explains, the design is in keeping with the modern trend towards casual dining: “Back to basics. Riedel decanters with a double and triple-decanting function have a high level of functionality and are perfect for connoisseurs. Some people, however, may find these decanters too complicated and intricate to handle. With our ‘M’ decanters, we are taking a step back and offering an alternative that we think reflects today’s ‘farm to table’ zeitgeist perfectly.” The mouth-blown, handmade decanters are produced at the Riedel factory in Kufstein. M Collection is available at www.riedel.com, RRP £175 -ENDS- For further press information or images please contact: Lily de Watteville at LUCHFORD Tel: +44 (0) 20 7631 1000; [email protected] About Riedel Riedel is a 260 year-old family-owned company, headed by Georg Riedel and Maximilian Riedel.

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).

  • Luczy: 2011 California Cabernet – 10 Years on Mat Thew Luczy, Decanter, February 19, 2021
    LUCZY: 2011 CALIFORNIA CABERNET – 10 YEARS ON MAT THEW LUCZY, DECANTER, FEBRUARY 19, 2021 The 2011 Cabernet vintage in California has always been seen as one for European palates, thanks to the atypically cool, wet conditions. US drinkers may have dismissed this outlier vintage as subpar at the time, but a decade on Matthew Luczy discovers just how well these fresh and elegant wines have aged. Vintages are often placed on a continuum, with ‘good’ and ‘bad’ at either end. This binary framing necessitates an all-too-often unasked question: good or bad for what? Good for drinking tonight or good to drink in 30 years? Bad for being different than the norm or showing an alternate viewpoint? Some harvests produce wines built for decades of cellaring, others better suited for earlier consumption. As such, it should not be only the results of ripe, pristine vintages that deserve to be looked at fondly. Each year makes wines with different strengths, weaknesses and applications. The quality of a wine is proportional to grape quality, which is partially a reflection of weather conditions. Simultaneously, it all comes down to the winemaker and how they handle what nature gives them. This is where the difference between the competent and the world-class resides. It’s all about the grapes, but it’s all about the producer. California‘s usual climatic consistency can be a double-edged sword. Increasingly common issues like wildfires aside, vintage variation across the state largely comes down to average temperatures and the timing of heat spikes and cool spells.

  • Bolgheri Wines at 25
    HI, MICHAEL PREMIUM MY ACCOUNT | MY WINES | LOGOUT PREMIUM Bolgheri at 25: A retrospective As this tiny but powerful DOC toasts its first quarter-century, the region’s winemakers are fully embracing the adventurous legacy of the SuperTuscan and continuing to build upon it. Richard Baudains reflects on this Tuscan crown jewel and what lies ahead for its producers, plus his top ten wines from the 2016 vintage... Richard Baudains April 7, 2020 T Highlights Magazine: May 2020 Issue Tastings Home Bolgheri means fundamentally Bordeaux blends, although the production norms also allow for monovarietals. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot account for 60% of the 1,370ha of vineyard, followed by Cabernet Franc, Syrah and the complementary variety Petit Verdot. Bolgheri Superiore is at the pointy end of the production pyramid, representing a rigidly selected 15% of the total annual bottling, alongside which there are also a limited number of IGTs of the ‘SuperTuscan’ ilk. The younger, early-drinking Bolgheri Rosso represents the second wine for most estates. Making a name In August 2019, Bolgheri celebrated the 25th anniversary of the founding of its wine producers’ consorzio. It was an occasion for ‘who are we, where are we coming from, where are we going’ type reflections. Federico Zileri, owner of the Castello di Bolgheri estate and former president of the consorzio, divides the modern history of wine in Bolgheri into three phases. In the beginning was Sassicaia, the wine that Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta originally made for his own family’s consumption, which was to become one of Italy’s truly iconic wines, with an inimitable style and consistency that sets it apart from any general discussion of the wines of Bolgheri.
