Like most art, great winemaking is a subtle process that is based on the quality of the grapes, the skill and finesse of the winemaker, and perhaps most of all, the gifts provided by Mother Nature. We call it terroir. Recently Ted attended a special tasting of four Monterey Pinot Noirs. Click below to see what a different terroir makes. |

A Big Slice developed the ViniCode™ to avoid what we hate most about wine publications: wine ratings. The purpose of the ViniCode™ is to describe the wine and let you know what is in that $35 bottle! Also, it teaches you the vocabulary you need to speak "winese". To find out how it works, click below. |
