No essay this week, as we’re debuting our wine expert Julien Miquel’s new Q&A series: for the rest of the year, you can submit questions to be personally answered in a monthly video installment. Each month, Julien will pick one or two and go in depth, leaving no stone unturned...

This week, a member asked: “Where do you see the next big niche emerging in winemaking?” Julien’s answer may surprise you, as well as his take on the rapidly changing world of wine… how the relationship between wineries and wine drinkers has fundamentally shifted… and why the days of the big oily California chardonnay may be gone for good...

Until next week,

The Wine Explorer
