Have you ever had a wine from the Jura? _____ We

Have you ever had a wine from the Jura?
_____ We chose a Savagnin (no not Sauvignon, that's a whole different grape)
_____ Made in three styles, Ouillé, Savagnin, and Vin Jaune, ours was the middle style.
_____ Savagnin & Vin Jaune allow oxygen in the aging process. They are oxidated on purpose, giving the wine nutty and savory notes that can make your brain work and your heart swoon.
______ Check out our story for photos of our pairings and be sure to visit Crushedgrapechronicles.com to read the whole fascinating piece!
_____ You can even join us tomorrow morning, Saturday October 17th (8am Pacific..yes I know that's early) just jump on twitter and follow the hashtag #Winophiles as we discuss many of the different wines of this region of Eastern France.

Last year we were invited for a media visit to Ora

Last year we were invited for a media visit to Orange, NSW, while we were in Australia for the 2019 Wine Media Conference. We spent an afternoon at Angullong, tasting their wines. In addition, they arranged a Welcome to Country for us, a performance and greeting by an Indigenois Dance Troupe and some great "Bush tucka" from @indigenousculturaladventures It was an unforgettable afternoon and we will be sharing the details with you later this week on Crushedgrapechronicles.com @angullongwines

Last week, amidst lots of research and wine writin

Last week, amidst lots of research and wine writing, we took a break and went to the mountain. Most of the aspens had already turned, but there were bits of color and lots of "quiet". Quiet hmmm...the sound of the wind moving through the trees and mountains was loud, birds and bugs...it was not really quiet, but it was peaceful. As we reach the mountain, a doe stepped out into the road. We stopped to let her pass. She stood and turned to look at us. It was perhaps, a welcome and a warning. We were only guests, she was a resident. The note was taken and we drove gently, avoiding scurrying ground squirrels and not disturbing the wild horses who had come to the side of the road to drink. Sometimes you just need to get back into nature to reset and remember what is important.
