WHAT I'VE LEARNED ABOUT CHILEAN WINE BY ALDER YARROW
|
 |
I thought about titling this post with a bit more gravitas -- something like "New Trends in the Chilean Wine Industry" -- but I didn't feel like I could pull it off. I spent a week there and talked with a lot of people, but can't speak with enough authority on the subject to title this post like it is some sort of whitepaper. On the other hand, I learned a lot about what is going on in Chile, where the wine industry is headed, and some of the issues and trends that are currently top-of-mind for Chilean winemakers, winery owners, and industry watchers. Here are some of the themes and ideas that have percolated since I've returned to the U.S. By Alder Yarrow from Vinography.com |

ON-LINE VITICULTURE & OENOLOGY THESIS REGISTRY ANNOUNCED
|
 |
In order to index viticulture and oenology-related research and thesis, the wine marketing company Andes Wines did a call to all the graduated professionals and wine universities to be part of the first on-line viticulture and oenology thesis registry. This inititive starts within the International Wine University Network (WUN), beginning its operations last year. Its objective is to integrate wine-related institutions and entities having wine programmes to generate a better information exchange. The objective of this Viticulture and Oenology registry is to generate more oportunities to develop new studies and researches. This knowledge will be transfered to the wine industry more quickly, avoiding that important discoveries be forgotten in the universities’ libraries. |

THE DEBATE OF THE GRAPE VARIETIES
|
 |
The grapes are having an argument of a shameful level. Very shameful. They are not discussing ideas, but insulting. They don’t see the trunk that underlies under the leaves. The vineyard is swarming with intruders. The chilean false red mite and the broad-nosed weevils doesn’t hear the mediator’s voice. All is chaos in the debate that will define the soon election of the grape variety for Chile. The nematodes don’t talk anything. They are hidden. They are not pursuing a political ideal. They are simply protesting against a system that excludes them, marginalize them. So they are fighting a discrete battle against the rootstocks that are trying to maintain the establishment.

THE ABSENCE OF AN STRATEGIC GRAPE-WINE GROWING PLAN HOLDS UP DEVELOPMENT IN BIO BIO

Although the Bío Bío Region is developing many initiatives to attain a position as a high-end wines producing zone with high added value, its bigger weakness is that it doesn’t have a Regional Strategic Grape-Wine-Growing Plan that defines, organizes and projects the activity on an integrated way that is affecting the attraction of new investors to produce higher quality wines in the area, says the report of AndesWines.com |

IT'S ALMOST LAST CALL FOR SUMMER BEERS

Plenty of variety and taste to help cool off after a long day.....Head to the cooler at your local liquor store around this time of year and you will likely see a lot of beers with the word “Summer” on their labels.

DOG BEERS: MAN'S BEST FRIEND MEETS MAN'S BEST FRIEND
|
|
In an age when people try to incorporate so much of the human experience into their pet's lives – doggie Bat Mitzvahs, feline weddings, spa days for ferrets – it almost makes sense that several companies both in the U.S. and abroad now make a "beer" for dogs. Considering one of the great adult pleasures is enjoying a cold beer after a long day working in the yard, shouldn't a pooch be able to do the same after an afternoon of sniffing around, chewing on a shoe and barking at squirrels?

A SUPERIOR GIN OR VODKA FINDS A BETTER TONIC

Like so many before it, Jordan Silbert’s great idea came several years back while he was having cocktails with friends. With so many premium brands of gin and vodka on the market, he wondered, why were drinkers forced to use tonic water that came in a plastic bottle for .99 cents a pop?. “So I woke up the following afternoon and went to work on my plan to create a high-end tonic water,” said Silbert, the founder of Q Tonic, a Brooklyn-based company that is bringing a better mixer to the party.
