videoRondekop Translated - Episode 6 | The Edge of Wilderness
This month, we explore the untamed beauty that surrounds Oldenburg Vineyards - and how it shapes everything we do, from vine to wine. 🍇 In the Vineyard Viticulturist Christo Crous and the team are busy suckering as the vines burst to life. He shares why this process is essential — and why our vineyards thrive alongside wild neighbours like caracals, porcupines, honey badgers, and deer.

RBS ADDENDUM – THE LATEST FROM THE ABC AS THE AGENCY PROVIDES MORE INFORMATION ON THE CALIFORNIA ABC’S MANDATORY RESPONSIBLE BEVERAGE SERVER PROGRAM
To no one’s surprise, the deeper the industry (and the ABC itself) digs into the upcoming RBS program requirements, definitions, and consequences, the more detailed the nuances of the program become. The California alcoholic beverage industry is more than just waiters and waitresses – the service of alcohol cuts across every facet of California business and every type of alcoholic beverage license issued by the ABC (currently 75 discrete license types, each with different privileges and many combined with other license types for special purposes). This is the reason our original estimate of the likely number of people required to be trained was multiples of the ABC’s estimated one million.

videoThe A-Z of Wine: 'Z' is for 'Zinfandel'
We head to California to taste some serious Old Vine Zinfandel, on its own native roots (rather than being grafted to a phylloxera-resistant plant's roots) courtesy of its 40-foot deep roots going down into sand! The bugs hate this! We are at Cline Family vineyards, one of the most legendary names in Californian winemaking, based in Sonoma, but here the vineyards are just east of Oakland in Contra Costa county.

podcast· 45:06Re-release of Ep 310: Elena Walch - The Quality Revolutionary of Alto Adige, Italy
I couldn't get a new podcast out with my travels from Alto Adige with the patrons, but I thought it was timely I re-released this show since I was just there. It's not ALL old hat -- I did a light edit, improved the sound quality, and recorded a quick intro to this re-release of Ep 310: Elena Walch - The Quality Revolutionary of Alto Adige, Italy. Elena Walch is a winery with an essential role in the quality revolution of Alto Adige, Italy. Alto Adige is in the northeast corner of Italy and although it is one of the smallest Italian regions (0.7% of wine production) it has a nearly unlimited variety of wines that offer delicate, unique flavor profiles. Photo: A view of Alto Adige from my travels Located south of the Alps, in the foothills of the Dolomite Mountains (where the ice mummy was found !), vineyards here are planted steep slopes, river valleys, and some warmer plains. The vast differences in microclimates and soils in this sloping terrain make wines that have ample fruit but b

From “this is definitely Bordeaux” to correctly calling the grape, alcohol, and vintage, this blind tasting proves just how deceptive great wine can be.

videoTorbreck Wines: Is This Australia’s Best Shiraz?
We all know and love the Woodcutter’s Shiraz, but today Nick is tasting the rare, allocated ICONS from Torbreck! 🍷 The Factor: 100% Shiraz that pays homage to the Northern Rhone. It’s not a jammy fruit-bomb; it’s savory and "gamey," with deep notes of blackberry paste, licorice, and Turkish coffee. The RunRig: This is Torbreck's answer to Penfolds Grange or Hill of Grace. Made from ancient vines (some up to 120 years old!), this blend of 98% Shiraz and a splash of Viognier is a complete masterpiece. Think violet aromatics, smoked meats, and blueberry compote.

THE STATE OF TO-GO BOOZE IN CALIFORNIA
If you have an on-sale liquor license in California, knowing whether or what alcohol you can sell “to-go” is even more confusing now than it was before Covid. During the pandemic, the California ABC relaxed rules and allowed restaurants and bars to exercise privileges – like sell sealed bottles to-go and pre-mixed cocktails or glasses of wine to-go - that weren’t allowed before. Then, as of January 1, 2022, some allowances were taken away, while others were made permanent (by way of new laws). So as an ABC-licensed California restaurant or bar, what can you do, and what can’t you do, now?
