		<description><![CDATA[The last couple of years has seen a resurgence of négociants in the wine industry. Today's négotiants aren't peddling cheap bottles of plonk, though. On the contrary, we're seeing talented winemakers seizing an opportunity to blend tasty vino that not only provides value, but also allows them to pursue a worthy cause.]]></description>

Critics pinned him as one of the best winemakers in the state almost a decade and a half ago, and it now looks like Loso's back in his grape crushing groove.]]></description>

By Christine Go

Petite Sirah

Does size matter?  Well, it does if you’re talking about grapes, namely Petite Sirah and Petit Verdot.  These varietals produce big, bold wines, so why are they called &#8220;petite?&#8221;  Give up?  Because of the size of the grapes!  Apparently both varietals have small berries, [...]]]></description>

by AJ Rathbun
On December 5, 1933, the 21st Amendment was ratified, repealing the 18th Amendment, which had banned the sale, manufacture, and transportation of alcohol used for drinking. The Nobel Experiment, or Prohibition (or just a really bad idea) ended on that beautiful day. Except [...]]]></description>

Many people flail around just trying to pronounce the word (for the record, it’s sum-ul-yay), let alone actually knowing what [...]]]></description>
