THERE IS A LOT OF HISTORY IN THESE PAGES. We’ve talked about some amazing vintages while reporting on the heartaches of being a winemaker in the modern age. We’ve seen the New World create their own distinct style, growing to supplant some of the most famous Old World regions. In 41 years, we’ve seen it all (or almost all).

What will 2014 bring? A number of exciting revelations about the world of food and drink, I hope. Some discoveries you’ll want to share with friends — and others you’ll keep to yourself.

What would you like this year to be about? This editorial will be visible online; post your thoughts about the coming year. Is there a wine region we’ve misplaced or a cooking style you’ve longed to learn more about? Do you need tips on how to choose the perfect bottle for dinner or do you simply need to know how to use a corkscrew?

There are so many different places we can go to in the pages of Quench. Together we can define what this year will be about and possibly choose the next big thing to come. Now that would be exciting. It would definitely quench our appetites.
