Hi, Top Shelf readers, it's Elin McCoy, with the latest on wine. Although vintners in Provence are complaining about the new roadside wine vending machines rolling out across their region, I can't think of a better start to summer than having rosé at the ready.

The Problematic Future of Bordeaux's Wine Futures
Hi again, Top Shelf readers, especially you wine lovers. It's Elin McCoy, and I'm here with the latest wine news. What's that about Bordeaux's annual en primeur circus? The mega collector who sued auction houses over counterfeit wines now unloading gems at one of them? Convivial chimps in Guineau-Bissau sharing booze? (Yes, that's really a thing.)

Japanese Winemakers Are Redefining What Makes a Top Pinot Noir
Hi, Top Shelf drinkers, it's Elin McCoy, with the insider track on the latest in wine. My February has been packed with tastings, from a look at the 2020 vintage for Brunello di Montalcino (yes, buy) to a slew of delicious cabernet francs from Long Island and the Finger Lakes that made me think the grape could become New York state's signature red.

Can This $150 Wine Glass Make Young Wines Taste Aged?
Hi, Top Shelf drinkers, it's Elin McCoy, with all things wine, and no, I haven't been observing Dry January. I find a glass of red, white, rosé or sparkling with family and friends over dinner is convivial and comforting in this crazy, chaotic world. But I have embraced 'zebra striping.' It's a way of cutting down on the amount you drink by alternating between wines with alcohol and those without. I've been comparing the dozens of new zero-alcohol bottlings alongside the real thing, and yes, I found some I actually wanted to drink. (Expect my rating report soon.)
