Lambrusco, Reconsidered (VentiVenti Recent Releases)
Lambrusco has a pretty well-established reputation, right? Exuberant, refreshing, fun, sometimes boring (truth hurts, people, truth hurts). But what happens when you take those qualities and apply a little more patience and ambition? I got to explore that question in June, when I sat down (virtually) with brothers Riccardo and Andrea Razzaboni of VentiVenti for […] This article was originally published on 1WineDude.com .

We are Family
Our choir concert was yesterday at our local performing arts centre. The theme was FAMILY. We sang a medley from Mamma Mia plus songs such as Dance with My Father, Chosen Family, Sister Song, In My Daughter's Eyes and We are Family. The youth choir also sang songs and there were poetry readings and dance acts too. Our usual choir mistress had taken this academic year off to spend more time with her family but is reported to be returning in September. We had been led this past year by a stand-in who has been quite amusing, even when she tells us off for doing something wrong. Her style and approach has been quite different but nevertheless likeable. Of course yesterday was baking hot and we are not allowed to bring water bottles onto the stage, so under the lighting and smoke effects, we were boiling. There are about 80 of us in the choir altogether. Four of them are from the same family - father, mother with their son and daughter in their early twenties. Sadly the father died tw

June 21: Father’s Day
It's Father's Day. You know, there seems to be some confusion as to what fathers want to do on Father's Day. There's this idea that we want to eat in fancy restaurants, participate in enforced "fun" activities with our children, and perhaps gather with other fathers to communally sip craft beers that might have a fruit as their primary flavor. That the day must be meticulously planned and executed according to a rigid schedule. It's as if somewhere along the line, Father's Day was kitted out with a silk scarf and a clipboard. It became a chore, an ordeal, a reflection of Mother's Day. What we fathers really want is something much more primitive, pagan, atavistic. We want to randomly wander through the day with heavy glass in hand, ever brimmed-up with powerful brown liquors, with no plan whatsoever except to breathe in the primal scent of large chunks of raw animal flesh being seared on local fires. We want our children in sight and perhaps even running amok, as proof of our unimpeacha

Everything You Know About Bumbu is a Lie: The Bottling of Bajan Bananas Foster
I’m not even going to ask if anyone has “stumbled” across this bottling as I have in previous articles. If you are in the UK or Europe Bumbu is almost unavoidable. Even my local supermarket sells it.

Ep 621: The Rías Baixas D.O. of Spain – The Albariño Capital of the World
This week I cover the many facets of Rías Baixas, an historic yet very new wine region. Rías Baixas is a fascinating but small Denominacíon de Origen (DO) in the far northwest corner of Spain. This is the Galicia region, which is so very different from the image most of us conjure when thinking about rural Spain. There is no dry, vast plateau, nor sandy colored buildings popping out of the landscape, rather this region faces the Atlantic Ocean and is replete with rivers and lots of rain, so it is lush, craggy, and more like Ireland than Priorat in its appearance. Rías Baixas means "low estuaries" in Galician; rías are the fjord-like inlets carved by winding rivers along Galicia's Atlantic coast. They are the defining feature of the region's geography. In this cool and changeable climate, Albariño is the star grape. In this show, I talk about the quirks of this region -- it's oldness...and newness. It's amazing concentration of female winemakers, vignerons, and business owners, and the

Behind the Cork™ - Amador Cellars Sangiovese
2015 Amador Cellars Sangiovese ($32) The 2015 Amador Cellars Sangiovese is an estate-bottled California red wine produced by Amador Cellars, a family-owned winery located in Plymouth, California. And, if you haven’t noticed over the years, one of my favorite wineries. I picked this one up at the winery a few years ago and have been waiting for the right opportunity to open it. Established in 2004 by the Long family, the estate operates a production facility and an underground-style barrel room in the Sierra Foothills. The fruit for this particular 2015 vintage was harvested from the winery's Ottimista Vineyards, located in the Shenandoah Valley AVA. Fermentation uses isolated yeasts. Following the primary fermentation process, the wine is moved into oak barrels to undergo 18 months of aging. The 2015 Amador Cellars Sangiovese is a medium garnet color, showing its 11-year age. The wine has soft aromas of red fruits, herbs and notes from the oak aging. On the palate, this medium-bodied w

Redbreast Moscatel Wine Cask Edition Irish Whiskey Review

Negating the obvious obligation of celebrating St. Patrick's Day, those first sunny days fit for a picnic are also some of the most incredible moments to share a glass of uisce beatha— the "water of life."
