Tips For Navigating the Website.

How to navigate the website.
<p><u><strong>Desktop vs Mobile:</strong></u></p>
<p>We know people use their phones a lot, so we've worked hard on ensuring the site functions well on mobile devices. Having said that, we recommend using a laptop/desktop to optimally peruse our content. </p>
<p><u><strong>Glossary:</strong></u></p>
<p>At its core, this has always been a website written for wine professionals *attempting* to glean information on the wines we import - and hopefully see a picture of the vigneron's dog. Since the jargon can be so technical, we've added an <glossary term="glossary" title="1427">interactive glossary</glossary> to the text for those unfamiliar with the baffllingly complex world of wine terminology. Even if you're a seasoned pro, you might learn a thing or two. And if you'd rather read the content without the glossary, simply head to the main menu bar and turn it off. </p>
<p> "<u><strong>Our Wines" Section: </strong></u></p>
<p>In the "Our Wines" section, we've offered a variety of filter categories for you to explore and discover all the cuvées we import. These filters can be combined together to narrow down results. If you hit a wall with no results, simply erase one of the filters or clear all filters. </p>
<p><u><strong>Technical Information For Each Wine:</strong></u></p>
<p>78% of the wines we import have extremely detailed technical information when clicked on, dare I say the most technical anywhere on the internet. Half of these are probably woefully outdated.</p>
<p><u><strong>Search:</strong></u></p>
<p>If you know what producer or wine you are searching for, the search should quickly autofill what you need. Go ahead, give it a whirl. You can also hit enter after searching and skup the autofill.</p>
<p><strong><u>Hyperlinks/PDFs:</u></strong></p>
<p>Every single piece of content on the website has its own hyperlink. This means you can easily share a specific producer page, article, wine or filter combination with anyone. You can also save or print out PDF's bt clicking the PDF icon.</p>
<p><u><strong>Copy/Paste:</strong></u></p>
<p>Due to the website's design, if you need to copy/paste anything, the glossary needs to be turned off for the text to paste correctly. We recommend using the PDF feature instead. </p>
<p>Also, if you are going to straight up use our writing verbatim, PLEASE credit us when doing so. Seems obvious but we see it happen all the time. </p>
<p><u><strong>A Shit-Ton of Written Content:</strong></u></p>
<p>The articles themselves can often be very long, and for this reason we developed a Propriety Pop Up System™ where you can easily scroll through various articles/wines and "pop out" to efficiently look at the rest of the content.</p>
<p>We've tried our best to pack as many dog pictures as possible in there, but the digital ink has been spilled: the cumulation of decades' worth of writings from Joe, Denyse, Kevin and Jules is here for you to read. A huge part of the work with this new website was to find better ways to condense and extract essential information you need without getting lost in all that BORING text. </p>
<p>We still think you should check it out. Don't worry, there are plenty of pictures. And you might even find the writing interesting. Or funny. Or both. </p>

2024: A Rainy, Lucky, Reasonably Good Harvest at Domaine Mosse
<p><em><strong>“2022 leaves us with the impression that we've seen what the future holds in terms of climate change: spring frost, lack of rain, summer heat.”</strong></em></p>
<p>I wrote this for the 2022 harvest report. I was so wrong. So either I’m a total fool or the climate is changing and unpredictable. Most likely both.</p>
<p>2024 was super rainy and it still is as I’m writing this on December 11th. It’s been raining for pretty much a year here. So we had to adapt our work in the vineyard, no plowing, just cutting the grass, a lot of spraying against mildew. But at the end we had a reasonably good harvest. And we realize how lucky we were this year compared to a lot of other regions of France.</p>
<p>We hired a large team of young and motivated Europeans so the harvest was fast, finished in 3 weeks which is very comfortable compared to some vintages where it seems to last forever.</p>
<p>Yields and maturity were almost normal. The juices are fermenting very slowly in our brand new cellar but we stay patient. You can expect bright acidity and the whole range to be produced this vintage.</p>
