Wine

In Paris, the city of wine for lunch and dinner, there is much talk of des vins naturels. There are entire caves and wine bars dedicated to selling these natural wines. But what are they?

Last week in New York City, in a Mandarin Oriental ballroom high above the streets of New York City, 120 winemakers from the Ribera region of Spain gathered to showcase their wines for distributors, sommeliers, journalists and others. A report, plus 10 things you should know about Ribera and its wines, right this way.

It's become a lot easier over the past few years for the home gourmet to master all manner of Do-It-Yourself projects, from cooking sous vide to brewing beer. But one thing remained constant: If you wanted a bottle of wine, you had to go to the wine store and buy it. Now, thanks to the Artful Winemaker All-Inclusive Package, you can make a case (that's 12 bottles) of quality wine in your very own home, and for a limited time, for a very affordable price of $99.
