videoWe Tasted 306 Wines to Find the Best One
We tasted 306 wines across 14 countries in 2025. This is our year in review—the best wines, the worst wines, the biggest surprises, and the wine that took out Wine of the Year. Countries Ranked By Average Bottles Bought: We ranked every country by how many bottles we purchased on average each time we tried their wines (out of a maximum of 36 bottles between the three of us): Top 5 Countries: New Zealand (23.5 bottles avg) - Consistently excellent France (22.5 bottles avg, 50 wines tried) - The standard bearer South Africa (21 bottles avg) - Loved the wines but massively undervalued them by $50 on average Greece (22.3 bottles avg, only 4 wines tried) - Small sample but impressive Italy (22.1 bottles avg, 44 wines tried) - Reliable quality Best Value Wines: Wines we thought were expensive but were actually bargains: Troppo Syrah - We guessed $60, it was $24. "If you taste it blind, you'd think it was $60" Domaine Naturalist Fleury Chardonnay - We guessed $125, it was $32. Oaky, comple

A Vital Shot in the Arm — The Highland Laddie, Leeds
Set in the shadows of several blocks of student accommodation, The Highland Laddie is hidden from view as I approach from the adjacent Kirkstall Road. A twenty minute walk from Leeds station, it feels like I’ve left the creature comforts of the city centre well behind me, as painfully overused phrases like “tucked away” and “hidden gem” begin to fill my head. The thing is, this pub is distinctly lacking in obscurity. Everyone has been talking about The Highland Laddie. Even someone with even a semblance of interest in the goings-on within the Leeds hospitality scene has no doubt seen the flurry of activity the pub has generated on Instagram. Writing for the Observer , restaurant critic Jimi Famurewa described it as a place of “thrilling finesse” with food that is “spectacularly enjoyable.” And it’s only been open in its revamped form since April. In its previous incarnation, the pub—called The Highland, but known affectionately by regulars as “The Laddie”—was forced to close after four

Ep 169: New Tasting Rooms in Paso – Featuring V1NO JUAN | Hawks Hill Ranch Winery | Boutz Cellars
🍇 WHERE WINE TAKES YOU – EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS 🍷 In this episode of Where Wine Takes You , Adam hangs with three guests who are helping shape the next wave of Paso Robles wine culture, not just through the wines they make, but through the new spaces and experiences they’re building. First up is Juan M. Contreras, owner and winemaker of V1NO JUAN, whose story might be one of the purest Paso stories out there. Juan came to the United States from Mexico in the early ‘90s, started working in the vineyards, moved into the cellar at Robert Hall, and spent more than two decades learning every side of the business before opening his own tasting room across from the downtown Paso park. Alongside his wife and kids, Juan is now crafting bold Paso reds, rosé, Sauvignon Blanc, and Bordeaux blends rooted in hard work, family, and legacy. Then there’s Kit Kuyper of Hawks Hill Ranch, farming some wildly diverse and rugged terrain in the Adelaida District. Massive elevation swings, Rhône varietals, grow

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.
