At Lay & Wheeler, we live and breathe the world of wine. And between us, we like to think we have a pretty exhaustive knowledge that has come from decades of learning, tasting and listening. With that in mind, we have put together a series of comprehensive regional guides, detailed vintage reports and overviews of such thorny topics as wine classifications and the ageability of wines – all intended to provide answers and insights to those questions that you always wanted to know but were afraid to ask. Because wine shouldn’t be like that – so dive into our series of articles, guides and videos spanning tasting notes, wine pairings, collecting advice and more. From trends to tips, it’s all designed to enrich your wine knowledge, experience and – most importantly – enjoyment.
