Alsace's Indian summer

Article Abstract:

Beautiful October weather helped Alsace enjoy a rare Indian summer in 2001 and make some of the most delightful wines of elegance, finesse and pure fruit flavors. There are certain exceptions such as the top Alsace wines that have increased their prices, however, many estates are keeping their prices roughly equal to those for the 2000s.

2004 Burgundy barrel tasting

Article Abstract:

The 2004 barrel samples tasted are all potentially outstanding, or in a few cases, classic. Some 2004 wines are bottled whereas others are in the last stages of maturation and in preparation for bottling, which is crucial to wines and can affect the final quality.
