...arrived at the Pavilion at 6:45 p.m., over two hours before the show was scheduled to begin. A small line of Busta-devotees started to form behind me, including a group of impatient women toting a large sack filled with pint-sized bottles of merlot and pinot grigio to help pass the time. When a UC rep came marching through the door I thought my moment was upon me and proudly announced my goal: “I’m here to interview Busta.” The response? “He isn’t here...

Pinot Noir is no longer trendy, Riesling had a short-lived spell of cachet?ros? could be the new flavor of the month. Numbers from the C?tes du Provence region in France, one of the world's main ros?-producing areas, show that exports are on a steady annual increase...
...make only one New Year's resolution, this should be it: ring in 2004 with a single-vineyard champagne. Ninety percent of all French bubbly is a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir that the top brands carefully mix to ensure consistency from year to year. Single-vineyard champagnes, however, are made from just one type of grape from a single plot of land?and they're fast becoming the toast of champagne lovers everywhere. Krug Clos Du Mesnil, for instance, comes from the first pressing of Chardonnay grapes picked from a single, walled-in vineyard...
