This is part two (Ep 609 is Part 1)of a two-part series on the history of Champagne, which tells the story of how Champagne became Champagne! Photo: Champagne Vineyards Credit: WFNP I fell down a bit of a rabbit hole when I discovered an entire encyclopedia of the history of Champagne on the Union des Maisons de Champagne site. It was the equivalent of 200 pages of information on Champagne from its origins up until the 1980s and was detailed and fascinating. In this show I cover: The innovations of the 1800s that made Champagne sparkle on purpose with consistency and the contributions of the Veuve (widow) Clicquot The effects of phylloxera on Champagne The Champagne Riots World War I and German occupation part 1 The Roaring 20s, the Great Depression, and the effect of Prohibition World War II and German occupation part 2 Post war, rebuilding, UNESCO status, and a commitment to the environment Enjoy!

10/27/25: Angry Orchard Cider Company's Blood Orange and Headless Pumpkin
Four days out from Halloween. Four days from wandering the streets at night with my kid, calling on strangers' doors for treats. This season is one of my favorites and it always goes by too quickly. I have three posts left (including today's) to see it off. I'll have my annual Vincent Price-esque post next time (no AI is used in its making!), followed by the Halloween post proper. But first, we have to get to the only ciders I'm doing up this month. Out of the four varieties in the Thriller Pack , these are the two I wanted to write about. Without further ado: Angry Orchard's Blood Orange and Headless Pumpkin. Angry Orchard doesn't have an "About" page, but they do have a spot on their FAQ page about their name. Their cider makers noticed that the best cider apples looks a little rough, a little angry, if you will. And there you have it. I'll also quickly point out that the cidery's based out of Walden, NY and they're owned by the Boston Beer Company (who owns Sam Adams and my once-bel

Having worked harvests across Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Portugal, Spain and the Canary Islands, Darren shares stories from some of the world's most overlooked wine regions and explains why old vines, heritage wine grapes and local traditions continue to inspire his winemaking philosophy.
