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.

The entire area was elevated ...

I squirm, though, if I’m described as a ‘wine expert’. Whatever wine knowledge we acquire quickly cools, congeals and crusts over, like custard or gravy, as the years pass. The wine world expands at a clip. Every vintage rewrites history. It’s the chance to share discoveries – not just about wines, but about people, places and the act of drinking itsel ...
The Roussillon is home to a range of wine styles, at varying price points. Sweet fortified wines (vin doux naturel) used to dominate production, with still dry wines (vin sec) in the minority. In the last 30 years, however, this has completely changed, and vin sec now makes up the majority (80%) of the Roussillon’s output. The recent Wines of Roussillon tasting, held in London, not only highlighted many good quality dry wines being produced, but also cemented the idea that Roussillon whites are ...
