Reed ‘Lessons’ Semillon 2023
A half time image of my Coq au semillion. . . I keep returning to old recipes and making adjustments based on necessity (what’s in the fridge / pantry) and experience. In this case, semillion instead riesling; a teaspoon of sambal belacan for a homeopathic hint of heat; a handful of dried (and rehydrated) chanterelles in addition to a small bag of fresh button mushrooms; and much more homemade tomato paste for depth and warmth (a 400g tin of diced tomatoes, simmered with 4 cloves of garlic for 15 minutes before blending). I used the finished stew as a base for a rich chicken noodle soup. I’ve developed an obsession with Shanxi pulled noodles (the store bought ones by Havista, I have no inclination to make my own). They are impressive - 3cm wide and extra long, like a super chewy pappardelle. Reed ‘Lessons’ Semillon 2023 . Spring Creek, Torquay, Victoria. 12%. An ectopic, but very interesting semillon. Barrel fermented in a blend of old and new oak. It’s pale, but with more

215: Elizabeth Vianna - Chimney Rock Winery
In this episode Jim Duane sits down with Elizabeth Vianna to explore her unconventional path from pre-med student to one of Napa Valley's most respected Cabernet Sauvignon producers. Elizabeth shares how a late discovery of wine in New York City led her to University of California, Davis, and ultimately to a long-term career rooted in estate winemaking in the Stags Leap District. The conversation dives into the evolution of Chimney Rock's vineyard and winemaking philosophy, including its commitment to 100% estate fruit, the use of exclusively free-run wine, and the influence of site diversity on wine style. The episode also goes deep on practical winemaking decisions, from extended maceration strategies and tannin management to sulfur timing, racking protocols, and blending philosophy. Elizabeth discusses her increasing focus on regenerative farming, vine health, and long-term sustainability in the face of climate change, as well as her approach to working with alternative white variet

podcast· 25:20149. Force vs Power
Imagine what life would be like if you could stick to every goal you set, especially when it comes to your relationship with alcohol. What if you only drank when you truly planned to, without feeling pressure from others or battling with yourself? In this episode, we're going to explore a powerful concept that will help you break free from that exhausting cycle of "trying harder" and still not getting the results you want.

One might feel familiar—pushing through with all your willpower—but it rarely leads to the transformation you're looking for. The other path?

Madeira: The Fortified Wine That Defies Time
Introduction How long would the Madeira linger? Such was the impact and intensity of Barbeito’s 1988 Madeira Sercial that I decided to time the duration of the wine on my palate. The finish lasted several minutes, largely thanks to the wine’s darting, arrow-like acidity. The three-decade-old wine reflected the essence of fine Madeira: refreshing […] The post Madeira: The Fortified Wine That Defies Time appeared first on Cellar Tours .

Competition in the Beverage Alcohol Industry Under the Microscope – Part 2
Activity and chatter around President Biden’s executive order on competition continues to grow.[i] As you recall, of the 72 action items in the executive order (EO), two involve alcohol beverages.[ii] Essentially, the first covers consolidation in the industry at all tiers and the second covers whether the current unfair trade practice rules impede or pose obstacles for new entrants into the tiers. The Treasury Department is tasked with submitting a report on consolidation to the White House within 120 days from the date of the EO and Treasury and the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) are tasked with submitting a report on unfair trade practices within 240 days. Consultation with the Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the Justice Department is required.
videoCan Wine Save the Planet Diary Day 10 Tablas Creek
Tablas Creek is one of the wineries sharing their story with us for the documentary. Tablas Creek is a collaboration between the Haas Family of Vineyard Brands and the Perrin Family of Chateau du Beaucastel. Robert Haas had met Jacques Perrin in the mid-1960s and became their US importer. Together, they founded Tablas Creek in Paso Robles in 1987. Today, Tablas Creek is owned equally by the Haas and Perrin families and is run by the next generation. The face of the winery is Jason Haas, their General Manager, who is passionate about wine and the environment. He is always on the leading edge of finding ways to produce delicious wine while making a difference. The Perrin’s began farming Château du Beaucastel organically in 1950 and added biodynamics in 1974. So, the Tablas Creek Vineyards were always to be farmed in this way. They started the vineyard using organic principles and received their organic certification in 2003, then leaned into Biodynamic farming and received their De
