Islay is the southern most island of the Inner Hebrides of Scotland, covering an area of approximately 240 square miles.

WHICH IS WHICH? Your Weekly Guessing Game Question 14. Britain or Brittany? 🗝️to question 13: LEFT: South Wales in the UK, with most of the nearly 30 Welsh vineyards, produces top-quality vintages. It is a booming industry with over 20 grape varieties in a unique landscape and microclimate where sheep’s white wool helps to ripen the grapes. RIGHT: New South Wales is a state in the southeast of Australia, with Sydney, the Blue Mountains, rainforests, and long beaches with dramatic cliffs. It also has 24 wine regions and 501 wineries producing a range of extremely diverse wines. Kangaroos often hop between the vines. ❓ Wow! Look at the two dramatic coastlines. One of them is a well-known landmark facing “the continent”, and the other one, lying more or less opposite, is a stretch of romantic seaside. Which is which? Where exactly were the photos taken?

WHY WINERIES ARE TEAMING UP WITH CRUISE LINES Wine brands are having to find new ways to reach audiences in a fragmented media landscape, including on cruise ships. Kathleen Willcox finds out more. How do get people to buy what you’re selling? The question is as old as time (or, perhaps more to the point here, clocks). Just a generation ago, brands looking to reach a lot of people at once could place an ad in a hit TV show or a glossy mag targeted at their desired demographic. Zip, presto, and the money would roll in. Ah, those were innocent times—the concept of appointment television today is un-applicable in a wildly fractured media landscape filled with networks, streamers, social media channels, podcasts and more with cult, but rarely large, followings. Today, finding a large captive audience undistracted by whatever’s happening on their phones is more challenging than ever.

First kosher production in 18 years, only 350 btls made Clos de Vougeot, also known as Clos Vougeot, is a wall-enclosed vineyard, a clos, in the Burgundy wine region, and an Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) for red wine from this vineyard. It was named for the River Vouge, which is in fact only a stream separating the village Vougeot from Chambolle-Musigny. At 50.6 hectares (125 acres), Clos de Vougeot is the largest single vineyard in Côte de Nuits entitled to the grand cru designation, while Corton in Côte de Beaune is the largest grand cru in Burgundy as a whole.

Marketing matters - a lot. Yesterday we took a wine tour from Porto to the Douro Valley. This valley is one of the oldest wine regions, dating back to 1756, when it was well known for Port. But this region has only been a tourism destination for about two decades. Why? We were surprised at how big this region is. Our guide told us that there are 19k certified wineries in the region. He had other stats that blew my mind because I didn’t know much about this region before. Then we had two great tastings. One was from an 8th generation wine maker whose ancestor saved the vines in this region from phylloxera by grafting the roots with American vines. No pesticides are used to protect from bugs, instead they have olive trees strategically planted all over which are what the bugs gravitate to instead. Cork trees are planted to make corks and make up a large percentage of total wine corks in the world. None of the wineries we visited proactively tried to sell their wines. So different from Napa and Sonoma. If you’re a wine fan, or interested in the history of wine making, I highly recommend visiting the Douro Valley. #livethewidth #travel #marketingmatters
