2022 Suertes del Marques "Trenzado" . Let's start off the Spanish wine focus with a wine from Tenerife, part of the Canary Islands, a place that holds a special place in my heart. It is not exactly "Spanish" since it is closer to the coast of Northern Africa than it is to Spain. But this region is incredibly unique and was an absolute pleasure to visit recently. One of the few "wine regions where there is a "subtropical" climate, where the nighttime temperatures are not too far away from daytime and rainfall is infrequent and sporadic. The vignerons of Tenerife combat this by growing the vines on hillsides high up in the foothills of Mt. Teide, the volcano that dominates the landscape. Teide is Spain's tallest mountain and one of the world's tallest active volcanoes. . The name "Trenzado" comes from the training method common on the island (particularly in Valle de Orotava, where these grapes hail). The multiple canes (branches) get continuously woven with each harvest, as the vine expands horizontally. The long "braid is supported by stakes and can reach incredible distances (even into a neighbor's vineyard, a winemaker on Tenerife joked). Such a method allows for lower yields, better concentration of fruit, and also allows for better use of the scarce land on the island. You can interplant various fruits and other plants (like coffee and herbs) underneath and between the long-braided vines. . Notes: Quite complex, showing notes of seasalt, ripe apple, exotic fruits (maybe like fresh papaya), sage/dried herbs, apple skins, charred earth, bread crust, and goat cheese rind. Pure, dry, high acid, medium body, intense flavors. Oddly enough, despite the low 11% alcohol, this wine is fleshy and round on the palate and has a presence and a weight uncharacteristic of its alcohol. . #tenerife #canaries #canaryislands

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.
