More information on of Nebraska flavors

Nebraska is a state located in the middle of the United States, bordered by Colorado to the southwest and Iowa to the east. Viticulture is developing in this state, which is better known for its agriculture and livestock, and in 2010, there were about 20 wineries scattered throughout Nebraska. HybridGrape varieties specially designed to withstand extreme cold are the most successful here. The state's best wines are made from the white varieties La Crosse and Seyval Blanc, and the red varieties De Chaunac, Marechal Foch and Chambourcin.

The white Edelweiss grape is the most widely grown in the state, and the Brianna grape, developed in Minnesota, is also important. White wines can vary considerably in terms of residual sugar content. The state covers just under 200,000 square miles, from the Missouri River in the east to the Dry, sandy hills at the foot of the Rockies in the west. Although wineries and vineyards can be found throughout Nebraska, wine production is concentrated in the southeast corner of the state, between the cities of Omaha and Lincoln.

Decanter guide to picnicking for wine lovers

According to lifestyle and happiness guru Gretchen Rubin, you ‘bring your own weather to a picnic’. Ms Rubin, I’d suggest, has never shivered under a tree watching raindrops turn her fish-paste sandwich to mush because the weather forecast was wrong. There are, it’s safe to say, picnics and Picnics. It’s a term that takes in everything from a rubber baguette in a French ‘Aire’ off the Autoroute du Soleil to a four-course spread while listening to opera at Glyndebourne. What’s definitely true is ...

Frescobaldi’s Gorgona: A day on the prison island

The small island of Gorgona, just off the coast of Livorno, isn’t your run-of-the-mill viticultural area – its main purpose is to serve as a penal colony. Not just any prisoner can reside on Gorgona, however. Up to 90 incarcerated men live on the island at a time, alongside 17 residents and a handful of police officers. Prisoners on the island are allowed to stay for a maximum of five years, which must conclude the end of their sentence. After Gorgona, the men are set free. Scroll down to see ta ...
