Tasting & Travels Through Spring

By: Anthony Gismondi

The Week In Review

As Stuart, Treve and I power through the past few weeks of submissions, we’ll also be posting notes from our recent travels and visits.

I’ve just returned from the Okanagan and can assure that vintage 2015 is on par thus far – watch for the first of the 2014s to be published this month. As well, Treve will be posting notes this week on her favourites from the recent Northernlands Wine Festival, Canada’s newest craft wine, beer and spirit festival. While Stuart holds charge of the tasting bench here at GOW headquarters, I’m headed down to California later this week and Treve is off to Chablis, both with full itineraries of visits and stories to share. Speaking of stories, Jim Tobler recently published an article on Sonoma's Ravenswood Winery, and our cheese expert, Allison Spurrell just published a telling article about what leads her travel decisions (easy guess). You can follow our top wine finds and travels on Instagram at GismondiOnWine. Thanks again for visiting Gismondi on Wine where the scores are about the wines, not the reviewers.
