videoWhy Wine Keeps Getting More Expensive (Tax, Explained)
Introducing Al McNair — our new UK correspondent and someone who lives right in the thick of the British wine trade. Al manages some of Europe's most prestigious wine brands in the UK market (think Rhône Valley, Rioja, and one very famous name from Piedmont), so when he says things are tough over there, it's worth paying attention. In this first dispatch, we dig into: → The UK's bizarre new wine duty system — taxed in 0.5% alcohol increments, meaning a £5 bottle now carries over £3 in tax alone. → Why tax receipts have actually dropped by around £1 billion despite higher rates → The rise of English wine and fine English cider → Brendan's conspiracy theory: fruit ruins every drinks category (vodka → beer → gin → cider… wine next?) → Is the global shift toward freshness a trend or a permanent correction from the Parker era? → The real reason young people drink lower alcohol wine (hint: it's not preference) This is the first of a regular series with Al covering what's happening in the U

10/10/25: Wolf's Ridge Brewing's Pumpkin Spice Daybreak
Here we are. Over a week into October and it's finally starting to feel like fall. Sure the sun's shining, but I could see my breath when I took Lottie out this morning and it's a steady 68° in my house without the air running. What better way to grace the triumphant return of the best season than by breaking the seal on Spooky Finger Puppet Ghost Month 2025? To christen the pumpkin season on the blog, we're doing up Wolf's Ridge's Pumpkin Spice Daybreak. Let's see how it's drinking. Wolf's Ridge is a Columbus, OH brewpub founded by father and son duo, Alan and Bob Szuter, in 2013. Bob brought food to the table, while Alan brought the love of beer and the business acumen. Together, they've grown the brewery into an award-winning entity that you can regularly find on store shelves across Ohio, at least. Here's their "About" page if you want to know more. Pumpkin Spice Daybreak is a variant of Wolf's Ridge's Daybreak (which I haven't tried). The seasonal 5% ABV cream ale features the cof

podcast· 35:50Tony Lombardi from Lombardi Wines
Tony Lombardi from Lombardi Wines is our guest on California Wine Country with Dan Berger and Daedalus Howell. This is his first time on the show. The winery is located in the Petaluma Gap, which we have described in many recent episodes. This episode from 2018 is about the 3rd anniversary of the Petaluma Gap AVA, We start with Chardonnay, which Dan says is in the mold of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti , which is an estate in Burgundy, in the Côte d’Or region in east-central France. They produce red and white wines of distinction. If you visit DRC, as it is known, they serve the reds first, then the whites. They believe in the richness and the full-bodied character of Le Montrachet. Dan says that this wine from Lombardi wines has that character which makes it an exciting wine. -•• • --- -•• --- .–. .- California Wine Country is brought to you by Deodora Estate Vineyards.
