Innocent until proven guilty, and the old saw about being able to indict a ham sandwich notwithstanding.... this is pretty big for the wine world, and seems to anecdotally jive with what industry insiders have been saying for years...

Oh! So sad to hear that author Dan Simmons passed away last week from a stroke at the age of 77. Hyperion is one of the greatest Science Fiction novels ever written, in my not-so-humble opinion. His talent will be missed. RIP.
Screenshot of an X post by Ann Coulter commenting on Trumpβs State of the Union address and arguing that the U.S. cannot have a second-, third-, or fourth-generation immigrant as president because βlove for our country has to be in your genes.β Below it is a βReaders added contextβ note stating that President Trump is himself a second-generation immigrant through his Scottish-born mother and a third-generation immigrant through his German-born paternal grandparents.

So I didn't keep perfect track, but it looks to me from my notes that the Premiere Napa Valley Auction #pnv2026 raised about $2.7 million today, with an average per-case price of about $2250. That's significantly down (18.5%) from $3.3 million in 2025.
100% best decanter ever made.

Great acidity, first and foremost. Bright, clean flavors. Persistence on the palate.
Cobb makes three, Bedrock one or two depending on vintage - all in tiny quantities. Rare as henβs teeth.

Right!?!
Wait, people are calling blends of red and white grapes "blouge" wines now? What the hell was wrong with blush, people? At least everyone can pronounce it correctly the first time! www.economist.com/cu...
