Emidio Pepe, the legendary Italian winemaker and pioneer of Abruzzo viticulture, died on July 28, 2026, at the age of 94.
I had the pleasure of meeting him and his family almost a decade ago and I wrote about it then. I’m resharing that now.

How’s your wine tasting tonight? 🍷

This makes it an ideal day for tasting wine, biodynamically speaking.
Are you finding your wine to be showing a lot of fruit tonight?
Cheers! 🥂

Wine and politics.

What began as a sweeping 10% import tariff last year became a landmark legal battle led by the wine industry. This year, a Supreme Court ruling struck down the policy as illegal and ordered billions in refunds.
