In this Whiskey POP episode, Jeff and Zane put Jack Daniel’s Blackberry to the test.

Samantha May Nebbiolo 2025
Wines like this from Samantha May are why I love doing what I do. Is it the best Nebbiolo I've ever had? No. But do I want to keep on topping up my glass? Hell yes! Based in Mudgee, Samantha Sutherland is behind her label Samantha May Wines, sourcing fruit from a few regions around New South Wales. This Nebbiolo comes from Gundagai, a region not known for producing Grand Cru wines, and perhaps that's the perception we need to change in this Australian wine landscape. If the soil is right, the climate is good and the making is great, does it matter? Importantly, though, this wine needs a decant. I say that because when I opened it and tasted it immediately after a few swirls, a potato sack and damp type aroma arrested my attention and focus. I was looking at a number of wines at the time, so I parked it for the next day and what a metamorphosis it underwent! Silky, dancy and damn delicious. Woah! Layered with interest, think cherries and cherry pips, red plums, orange peel, black

Head Wines Old Vine Grenache 2024
A blend of three sites with significant age, this is an excellent expression of Barossa Grenache. Sourced from a dry-grown 1940s block in Pewsey Vale with smaller contributions from the 1880s planted Riebke site in Ebenezer and the 1858 planted Stonegarden site in Springton, this is certainly a great exercise in the sum of the parts. Awash with juicy and vibrant red fruit, red currants, raspberries and squishy blueberries make their mark. Time in the glass sees raspberry rope, rhubarb and orange peel emerge. Dangerously silky, a smattering of fine exotic spice reaches long onto a persistent and seductively moreish finish. For 40 bucks, this is a beauty. Bravo! 94/100 Region: Barossa RRP: $40 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X

Highland Park Brewery opens pop-up Washington taproom
Highland Park , the popular and award-winning Los Angeles brewery, is opening a pop-up taproom on Orcas Island in Washington this summer. From July 1st through atleast August 31st, Highland Park owners Bob Kunz and his partner Tiff will be running a Highland Park beer garden at the Lone Pine Larder restaurant and market. “I’ve always dreamed of bringing my love of the Pacific Northwest together with my passion for Craft Beer. Well, we’re finally making it happen as we’ve put together plans with our friends at Lone Pine,” says Kunz. In 2024 Highland Park had one of the most impressive showings of all-time at the prestigious Great American Beer Festival where they won four gold medals in some of the most highly competitive categories: American-style IPA, contemporary American-style lager, American-style pale ale and juicy/hazy imperial IPA, and Brewery Group of the Year. But Highland Park is probably best known for their hoppy pilsner called Timbo Pils, the beer that is said to have orig

Burton McMahon Lusatia Park Chardonnay 2024
Woah! Big love right here. From Woori Yallock in the Yarra Valley perched 180 metres above, this Burton McMahon Lusatia Park Chardonnay is an exhibition of fabulous drive, balance and restrained power. The fruit was handpicked, whole bunch pressed and racked to barrel on 95% solids for wild yeast fermentation. Malo was not encouraged and it matured in French oak (30% new) for ten months. It opens with expressive aromas of caramel drops, Golden Rough, dedicated coconut and barbecued peach. There is a neat flow onto the palate with nougat and green apple adding detail. Possessing a delicate texture, there is a flash of lemon granita and yellow grapefruit on close. Oh, how I want more with each sip I take. Glorious. 94/100 Region: Yarra Valley RRP: $60 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X

Usher Tinkler Devil's Kitchen Pinot Noir 2025
Quite a different wine to the captivating and utterly delicious 2024 release , this Devil's Kitchen Pinot Noir from Usher Tinkler took me aback on opening. Joyous and juicy were the buzzwords with the 2024, but here I felt it was ripe and stewed on opening. I parked it and returned a day later, only to reveal it had taken quite a turn for the better. Perhaps there was some pent-up tension that needed release? Scents of rose hip and dried red petals skipped out with a plummy and dark cherry frame. Delightfully medium-bodied, some meaty things lurk within too - think pan juices and charcuterie. Finely textured with sandy-like tannins, recline by the fire pit and you're set. 90/100 Region: Hunter Valley RRP: $55 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X

Why the RM vs NM Debate Isn't as Simple as Many Champagne Lovers Think
Normal 0 false false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE Why the RM vs NM Debate Isn't as Simple as Many Champagne Lovers Think Normal 0 false false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE I recently read an article, written with passion and knowledge, celebrating the rise of Grower Champagne. The author defined Grower Champagne as "the small-estate stuff (you know, the ones with an RM on the back label)" and contrasted these artisanal wines with the supposedly faceless world of the Négociant-Manipulants, identified by the letters NM. Like many champagne enthusiasts, I share the admiration for the growers behind the RM designation. Their stories are often fascinating, their connection to the land is tangible, and many produce outstanding wines. What concerns me, however, is the increasingly common assumption that RM automatically means authentic and high-quality, while NM implies something less worthy of attention. The reality is far more nuanced. In many cases, the distinction between RM and NM t
