Customer review of Domaine O’Vineyards O’Syrah 2008: Posted by Mark Bonsall on 11:15 24/07/2011 Comment on: Domaine O’Vineyards O’Syrah 2008 Smoothness personified. This was an absolute treat and I’m so glad I bought in advance in bulk! Can’t think of anything critical to say about it really, it just slid down so well I got [...]

On the 4th of July, I returned from the UK (a daring reenactment of American Independence Day ;D). I had just completed a massive UK wine tour with my UK importer Naked Wines. Looking back, I can’t believe how much fun it was. Fun, laid back tastings One important element of the fun is that [...]

After the success of my 2010 UK Villages Tour, I’m really looking forward to the much grander scale of the 2011 Naked Wines Tour, a series of ten wine tastings around different cities in the UK. Over 20 independent winemakers, funded by online wine retailer Naked Wines, are flying over to the UK at the [...]

We were very proud to se that the Magazine l’Express released a special wine issue with a full page feature of O’Vineyards and several references to our websites (the issue had an extensive spread on wine blogging and wine websites). I’m including the article about us below, but I highly recommend picking up an issue [...]

Elin McCoy wrote her Bloomberg column about my UK importer Naked Wines, and her article uses a lot of my personal experiences with the company. It’s a bit strange referring to Naked Wines as a wine importer.  The more I work with them, the more I realize they have many many roles in the wine [...]

I took some exterior photos of O’Vineyards Bed & Breakfast now that it’s nearing completion.  Things are looking good! You can really see how close the rooms are to the vines.  How clear the sky is.  This is life on a vineyard after all! This is the window of the Cabardes room.  You can look [...]

Customer review of Domaine O’Vineyards Proprietor’s Reserve 2005: Posted by Nik Denley on 19:03 29/05/2011 Comment on: Domaine O’Vineyards Proprietor’s Reserve 2005 I was asked the question, would I buy this again. YES! YES I would – utterly delicious. Definitely, needs a good breath before hand. My husband was so enthused with it that I [...]

I got an alarming email about a quarry project in the town where I make my wine.  It’s very short notice!  I have to respond by Monday and I don’t know anything about this project. I got this email from the person at the Chamber of Agriculture who has been acting as a general manager [...]

It has recently come to my attention that a lot of Japanese people are talking about my wine without popping into my google alerts.  It’s probably related to the differences in language.  Even though they usually write the brand in roman characters, there are often kanji suffixes or other weird linguistic quirks (e.g. o’vineyardsは). Anyway, [...]

NO VISIT TO THE SOUTH OF FRANCE would be complete without a trip to the Languedoc-Roussillon region, where you’ll find a combination of hilltop vineyards, Mediterranean beaches, and a panoply of France’s most beautiful medieval villages. –Ryan O’Connell, Tampa Bay Magazine NOV/DEC 2010 p. 141 Add one more thing to the list of jobs winemakers [...]
