If you’ve never picked up a copy of Wine & Spirits magazine, the current issue (that landed in my mailbox on Saturday) provides a lot of bang for six bucks. The special issue, “Rebels that rock the best in the world of wine,” has great articles about natural winemakers around the world, profiles of 10 wine revolutionaries, best new American vineyards and wineries, four escapes to wine country USA, and some best dishes in restaurants. Contributors include David Wondrich, Fiona Morrison, Alice Feiring as well as the usual great staff.
I also contributed a story on “innovations in wine retail,” which came out well on a two-page spread, complete with time line.
But if you can’t wait to get two the newsstand, you can take a sneak peak at two of the revolutionaries on the Wine & Spirits website. Paul Grieco of Terroir and Hearth in NYC (see our Q&A with Paul) interviews internet retailer phenom Gary Vaynerchuk of Wine Library. Then they turn the tables and Gary interviews Paul. No swirling or spitting in the video–and no Jets dump bucket.

THis reminds me to renew my W&S subscription. It is truly the best print wine mag in the U.S., primarily becuase they are more focused on their readers than on themselves, or cosying up to the industry.

Rebels in wine–
Perhaps too new to mention in W & S,
the owners of Stoutridge Vineyards
in Marlboro, NY
have some pretty interesting techniques–
I went for a visit the other week-
took a few photographs and scripted a few notes:

I’ve been a reader of Wine & Spirits magazine going back several years and recommend it to anyone who appreciates solid, in-depth journalism. It just seems like their articles go the extra distance, plus they’re not full of themselves.
