ancient dupes…
Browsing 137 years of Popular Science magazine, I’m reminded that it’s quite a while since my ‘dupes revisited‘ post. Just to show that all is not new under the sun:
All those years years of Popular Science magazine’s scientific scoops (!) are now freely available online here.
The format is similar to Google [...]
tim atkin and bras…
Well I expect that I have a unique subject title in the internet world – today at least…
Maybe you will recall that I bemoaned the ‘loss’ of Tim Atkin (he of the broad grin) to ‘newspaper’ (everything is anyway on the internet) writing. Well he got a new job pretty quickly with ‘The Times’. [...]
weekend reading…
Something short and interesting:
Are you one of the anti-flavour elite?
You read it here first, didn’t you
Something a little longer and a little picturesque – longer to download too as it’s 10.3mb – it’s from another place of-course, but then there wouldn’t be room for any of that in Burgundy would there(?)
new vines for méo-camuzet and champy…
News from the BIVB:
THE MEO-CAMUZET ESTATE ACQUIRES TWO PLOTS IN CORTON
In December, the Méo-Camuzet estate (Vosne-Romanée) acquired a beautiful 68-are plot in Corton Perrières and a 19-are plot in
Corton La Vigne au Saint. Both are planted with old vines of fine Pinot Noir. The estate has been able to use grapes from these two
terroirs as [...]
this week’s reading…
Just a few things that have passed over my desk in the last week:
Tim Atkin has more free time. I really don’t know if it due to the growth of wine-writing on the internet, or whether it is the more simplistic (general) loss of revenue suffered by traditional news media at the hands of [...]
great info…
It’s easy to throw bricks at the demenour of many participants on the eRobertParker web-forum, but it is (sans doubt) one of the best sources of info – provided you follow the right people
Kevin Harvey is a winemaker whose posts on burgundy I enjoy following. Here he is, just back from a [...]
updating for the next days
Just a quick apology and pre-apology!
The apology is for those users of the NoteFinder:
Leider benötigt Ihr Web im Moment 260 MB RAM. Ihnen stehen laut Vertrag jedoch nur 64 MB zu. Daher haben wir uns entschlossen Ihr Web auf 160 MB RAM zu begrenzen. Dies ist aus Schutz, da Sie sonst im schlimmsten Fall den [...]
what makes a wine “classic” ?
Matt Kramer has the answer…
choose between vines or a glass of something vine-derived…
Back from a long weekend – more of that later – and two new things in my inbox that you may be interested in:
Adopt a vine in Santenay? I don’t know the people, but it may be of interest to some…
Salon des Vignerons de Nuits Saint Georges et Premeaux Prissey: if you can’t wait so [...]
a few links…
There are few links that I’ve been meaning to pass on to you. First Clive Coates has had a Spring-Clean on his website, everything’s a little tidier now, and some of the menus that didn’t work in all browsers seem better. There are interesting entries marked ‘December’ in his news page.
Second, and a [...]
critical of a critic…
Burgundy looks a year further back as the 2008 vintage comes on sale here this month. After an unpromising early diagnosis, the grapevine suggests that it could be a delicious short- to medium-term option.

I usually enjoy the writings of Anthony Rose, but I have to stand-up on this [...]
so sad for spinosad…
I only recently saw this on the JF-Mugnier website – it’s a funny old world…
