| Smashing Glass Ceilings | Sunday, 24 May 2009 |

The soundtrack to last weeks Goodlife Brandy Festival in Sandton was the elegant tinkle of breaking glass as previously ignored demographics burst through the glass ceiling and reclaimed fine brandy. Bring me your young, your black, your sexually ambiguous from the Wrong Side of the Mountain demanded the Bacchus of Brandy and give them a book of 15 coupons and a brandy balloon and get them to the retro ballroom of the Sandton Sun, somehow.

With all the major chateaux having released (bar Petrus and Lafleur) we can now see how accurate the respondents to our 2008 Bordeaux En Primeur Survey were in predicting the release prices of our basket of ten wines.

I‘ve seen the future of wine writing and it‘s an elegant cloud of buzzing electrons emanating from Milan. Who said Italian wine was hopelessly lost in traditionalism and rusticity? Il Mio Vino, the feisty and fiercely honest Italian monthly wine magazine edited by Gaetano Manti, now publishes an American version, available exclusively online.
Which makes total sense as Italy is by far the largest wine exporter to the land of ... |
