Eric Asimov
Eric is a special friend of the Philbrook Wine Experience, having headlined the past two years. Oh, he’s also the Chief Wine Critic and a thirty-year veteran of the New York Times. His articles are always insightful and enlightening. These are some of my recent favorites.
SOMM TV
I brought the SOMM films to Tulsa. SOMM TV gives you more of Jason Wise’s original films, more popular food and wine films, famous producers, history, tastings, travel, food and wine pairings, cooking, a great podcast…New content is added weekly. This is THE wine streaming service.
Noble Rot
Noble Rot magazine is simply brilliant. In it’s own words, “…a cork-popping, gut-busting, genre-disrupting ode to gastronomic pleasure…home to some of the most exciting voices in wine and food…beautifully illustrated.” Publisher/Editor Dan Keeling’s A&R background (ever heard of Coldplay?) rocks through in every issue.
Wine Glassware
Riedel
Zalto
Wine Tools
The Durand
An exceptionally effective tool for removing older and uncooperative corks, whole and intact, leaving little to no debris in the bottle.
Coravin
Taste wine without pulling the cork. In case you are not planning to drink the entire bottle(?) Taste wines over months, even years.
