I thought you might appreciate the selection of wine articles that I pull up for the UK press digest. Perhaps someone would like to do an equivalent for the US?

If you know of any other sources for good wine journalism, post them!

Wine Articles in the UK Press

Richard Ehrlich The screwcap is winning the seal of approval from modern winemakers!

Anthony Rose - the greats of Burgundy. "This year has exploded into action with the 2002 vintage wines from Burgundy. I don't recall a time when there was such excitement over the latest burgundy releases. Nor such an impressive variety of wines on offer from specialist wine merchants." (Independent)

Cellar notes: The best of Burgundy 2002.

Tim Atkin - Underarm tactics. "John Forrest was quoted as saying that the weather had produced wines with 'that hunter's armpit, sweaty mango, classic Marlborough intensity'." (Observer)

Super plonk. This week - Sherry.

Thanks! I have enjoyed the wine links from the UK Press Digest, would be great to have them in the wine section.

The San Francisco Chronicle publishes a wine section on Thursdays. I think the interest level varies quite a lot, for me anyway, but it's worth checking:

Chron Wine Section

This week's lead on oak was quite interesting. The link above lists this week's articles. If you use this one you get to this week's lead, and tasting room archives and so on

All other wine columns seem to be in the Wednesday food section
