It was an unexpectedly busy month for me in February, which included two days in Amsterdam being filmed for the forthcoming Wine Masters documentary (as pictured). That meant things were a little quiet here on the blog - though I did manage to write something to mark my tenth anniversary as a fully fledged wine writer. Here's everything else I wrote, plus a short appearance on America's National Public Radio network (at 2:38).

  • A wine of the week from Bourgeuil (free to read)
  • 60 tasting notes on various wines from Rioja (subscription required)
  • 23 tasting notes from an extraordinary vertical of Royal Tokaji's sweet treasures (subscription required)
  • A provocative Spittoon column about the bottom end of Prosecco (free to read)
