2008 VIDEO CONTEST: Creative with a video camera? Submit your wine videos to Wine Spectator's second annual video contest and you could win great prizes. We are looking for short, original videos that are educational and entertaining. Our editors will select the best entries, and the finalists will be posted on WineSpectator.com, where viewers will vote to choose the winner. The deadline for entering is Aug. 18, 2008. Here are the complete rules and technical information, and last year's finalists.
VIDEOS: We now have hundreds of videos on our Web site:
- Honoring Robert Mondavi: Our tribute video includes a 1999 interview in which Mondavi explains his philosophy and recounts his first trip to Europe, plus rare photos that trace his life in wine.
- California Chardonnay: The Golden State produces a range of Chardonnay styles, and senior editor James Laube discusses two that are stylistic opposites—one aged in oak and the other "naked."
- California Whites: Branch out beyond Chardonnay with tasting coordinator MaryAnn Worobiec as she tastes some of the state's lesser-known white varietals, including Viognier.
- Old-vine Zinfandel: California winemakers are showing that Zinfandel can be structured and rewarding. Associate editor Tim Fish meets winemaker Al Perry among the ancient vines that produce grapes for Robert Biale's Monte Rosso Zinfandel.
- Washington Chardonnay: Learn about the state's bright, refreshing Chardonnays as editor at large Harvey Steiman tastes a pair from the 2006 vintage, the Columbia Crest Horse Heaven Hills and Three Rivers Columbia Valley.
