I am so happy I opened that link

Queen Tamar of Georgia
Researching for my next book, delving into the history of the region of Samtskhe-Javakheti , the home of one of Georgia's best-beloved rulers, the inspiration of The Knight In Panther Skin who lived here I came across this brilliant history lesson: When King Georgi III surprisi...
This makes me both angry and sad. And it was fitting to find this post this morning. Last night my wine group watched "Wine From Here" and you were the only woman in the film. There must be female winemakers in CA. I guess we have a long way to go if we are only to be viewed as hypersexual beings that like wine.

The Drinks Business throws women under the bus
"Do you ever have problems in the field, because you're a woman?" So goes the oft asked question. After all, even if there are young men involved, there is an old boy network at the top. And so, I instead of telling them the truth I say, no, I get a hard time because I'm short. I've always felt...
Oh my! Glad to know you are safe.

The Rescue
Before the power went out on Monday night, for a few insane moments, I did think of heading down to Ten Bells. You know, winemakers in town, Crozes-Hermitage, that sort of thing. Then something went bang off of someone's roof top and I thought, hmm, maybe not. Started to work on Newsletter #2. T...
Cider is my favorite drink with Ethiopian food. Lovely.

My Newsweek story on hard cider (love the stuff)
Hard Cider, Drink of Presidents, Makes a Comeback Oct 29, 2012 --Alice Feiring Hard cider has tried to stage a comeback so often, it’s practically moldy. Yet finally, after many years of false starts, the drink is showing signs of a true renaissance. According to industry belwether Shanken N...
Great article. Have you had the chance to taste wine from Armenia? I haven't myself, but I am planning a wine trip to Georgia and Armenia next spring.

My Newsweek story on unusual wine regions
Morocco to the Moon Aug 20, 2012 --Alice Feiring Years back, when Napa winemaker Michael Mondavi told me that he would love to make wine on the moon, I thought, Michael, you are one crazy dude. Historically, there have been some basic prerequisites for a good wine region: water (yes, the ...
This is my home town and I am so excited to try this wine next time I am there.

Los Pilares, local wine from San Diego
"We're your kind of wine." When I hear that I wonder if the guys really know my kind of wine. You get used to disappointments in this line of work. When I took the cork out, the color was surprising. This was grenache and carignane. It was transluscent. It had that look of life, of not being w...
I am so delighted that you have included an Italian from my region, Lazio! A fine choice, indeed. May I suggest the beautiful wines of Paolo Bea (Umbria)? The best wines I have ever had.

Les vins S.A.I.N.S.
What is a natural wine? Don't ask. We'll be here for years. But I used to call these just "Alice Wines," before we all had to call them something. I still think of them as Wines Alice Likes. Personally, I'd sidestep the definition and opt for an ingredient list. But I do understand the impusl...
Thank you for this post, Alice. It is great to see a person who has a passion for REAL qwines who also wants to share it with the world. how many people I know who may have been earlier want their kudos for being their first? I think it is great that more and more people are getting into natural wines. heck until I read your book I had no idea but realized that the wines I like were in fact natural wines.
Upcoming in Rome is the 2 day Vini Naturali event. It is a madhouse, but there are great producers.

Natural wine movement, just noise?
That was a tweet I responded to the other day, but I needed more than 140k. Natural wine bars existed in France since 1982, in the past five years wine bars and wine -oriented restaurants who focus on them in that city exploded to over 160 in Paris. There's at least one in virtually every ...
Indeed!

Is the cocktail really sexier than wine?
Is the cocktail sexier than wine or is it all smoke and mirrors. Maybe it's the word, cock-tail. Maybe it's the uniform; piercings or the tattoos or the little bar caps, or the unkempt historical beards. Maybe it's that tactile opportunity to hold a glass, or the sex-toy like bar tools. Perh...
This is just brilliant.

The Mythology in Georgia
(I realize there's more to say about Georgia, so here is the first of the next two postings) The title, the First International Qvevri Conference, with its main characters, a prophet and an ex-cave dwelling Bishop, could have been a Borat movie. But this conference I attended in Georgia in Sept...
