Change in responsibilities at Wine Enthusiast

I am thrilled to announce today an expansion of my responsibilities atWine Enthusiast。截至今年年初,除了我目前对华盛顿和爱达荷州的责任外,我还将为该杂志报道俄勒冈州和加拿大。我为有机会全面覆盖太平洋和加拿大的机会感到非常兴奋。

Let me start by saying that I have a great admiration for Oregon wines and winemakers. I have tasted and enjoyed the state’s wines for many years. In fact, some of my earliest wine inspirations two decades ago came from Oregon. I also briefly reviewed Southern Oregon wines forWine Enthusiastfrom 2013 to 2014, and I covered Oregon wine as part of my beat as Northwest correspondent forVineyard & Winery Managementmagazine from 2013 to 2017. I have previously attended IPNC, ¡Salud!, and the Oregon Wine Symposium. I have spent a good deal of time in the state with winegrowers. I am excited to spend more time there in the coming years and to focus on the region, its producers, and its wines more intently. I firmly believe Oregon is making some of the highest quality wines in the world and that the region has accomplished as much as any American wine region. It will be an honor to cover all parts of the state the state, to review the wines, and to help tell the story.

同时,对于许多美国人来说,加拿大葡萄酒仍然是隐藏的。由于多种原因,该国很少有葡萄酒被进口到美国。真可惜,因为加拿大有美妙的葡萄酒。我以前曾去过加拿大葡萄酒之乡,并尝试过许多葡萄酒。从2013年到2014年,我还简要介绍了加拿大的葡萄酒爱好者。我期待剥夺在那里制作的激动人心的葡萄酒的窗帘。

For people and producers in those regions who may not be familiar with me, I grew up on the east coast and moved to Seattle, Washington in 2000. It was at that time that I became interested in wine. I started华盛顿葡萄酒报告as a friends and family email list in 2005, reviewing and writing about the state’s wines and wine regions. I launched华盛顿葡萄酒报告作为2007年的在线网站 - 今年十五年前。我在2009年底离开了企业界(生物技术和软件),以致力于全职写关于葡萄酒的文章。我开始写作Seattle Metropolitan第二年末杂志开始写作Wine Enthusiastat the beginning of 2013. I continue to write for both magazines. During that time, I have reviewed almost 15,000 wines and have written over 400 articles. I have also written over 1,800 blog posts for my own site.

Prior to coming to the west coast, my background was in science and research. Both very much inform how I approach tasting and reviewing wine. They also inform how I think about the subject more generally. My goal in reviewing wine is to be objective as one can be, to provide consistency in approach, and to give every wine the exact same shot as every other wine. To accomplish this, all wines I review for Wine Enthusiast are sampled blind in varietal sets without exception. In these tastings, I do not sort by any other factor than variety, including price, appellation, or vintage (read more about我在这里如何品尝葡萄酒).

在撰写和审查葡萄酒时,我还认为,以区域为基础并在葡萄酒乡村度过时光很重要。重要的是要踢泥土,掌握脉搏,并充分了解生产者,他们的历史和葡萄酒。我期待在我的新覆盖范围内做这些事情。我将尽我最大的热情代表这些地区。除了在我涵盖的地区度过时间,我也总是有“开门”政策。也就是说,我总是很乐意与制作人见面,通过电话与他们交谈,在当今的世界中,与他们放大,以更加充分地了解它们和他们的葡萄酒。

For those who are already familiar with my work and are wondering how this change might impact what I currently do, I do not anticipate making any changes in the approach I have had atWine Enthusiastfor the last nine years. In terms of reviewing, I have typically tasted approximately 1,400 wines per year forWine Enthusiast,这还远远没有我的能力。我将在处理样品(特别是开放式盒子和分类葡萄酒)方面有一些帮助,这将有助于吞吐量。否则,我品尝和评论葡萄酒的方式将保持不变。我为覆盖华盛顿和爱达荷州的努力将保持不变。如果有的话,我希望涵盖其他地区会增加我带来的观点,这将使所有人受益。

我长期以来一直说这是西北太平洋葡萄酒的黄金时代。我全心全意地相信。我期待着继续涵盖这一领域的独特时间,现在全面覆盖该地区。
