The Economics of Togetherness: Why Americans Still Choose Beer
By Andrew Heritage, Chief Economist You can learn a lot about consumers by watching what they buy during tough times. Right now, prices are up, wages feel tight and confidence in the economy is down, but, despite that uncertainty, people are still choosing to gather over beer. Economics often gets framed as a discipline of restraint—cutting back, trading down, doing less. But real-world economics is often about…

Fidelitas
Great photo of the Fidelitas winemaking team. One of the great houses on Red Mountain, Fidelitas began with legendary Washington winemaker Charlie Hoppes and his vision to focus on making red wines from this famed AVA. Hoppes formerly served as former head winemaker for Chateau Ste. Michelle. A University of California, Davis grad, he had a brief job in Walla Walla in 1990 at Waterbrook Winery, and later began working with Mike Januik as a member of the winemaking team at Ste. Michelle in Woodinville. In 1993, he became the Head Red Winemaker and managed Ste. Michelle’s newest facility at the time, Canoe Ridge near Paterson, Washington. Hoppes had the pleasure of making the first vintages of Col Solare, from 1995-1998. Hoppes finally decided to purchase some land on Red Mountain, founding Fidelitas in 2000 -- and has produced fantastic reds and whites since that time. Fidelitas is known for their red and white Bordeaux blends, as well as their rich Cabernets. I love the new

Cellar Selection: 2020 Bibi Graetz 'Testamatta' [1.5L'
Here is the dazzling 2020 Bibi Graetz ‘Testamatta’ [1.5L] which was amazing cellar pull for my friends. One of my favorite Tuscan houses is Bibi Graetz. I had an unforgettable visit there last year ( https://owenbargreen.com/blog/2025/7/7/bibi-graetz ). A total renegade in his region, Bibi has transformed the wines made in Tuscany. Since his inaugural release 25 years ago Graetz has become one of Tuscany’s cult winemakers without having any formal training in winemaking. The Testamatta and Colore bottling have made him an international success as these wines have been revered by critics across the globe. Bibi sources from old vines in Tuscany as well as old vines from the Isola del Giglio which is a remote island that has ancient indigenous vines planted. His wines are crafted from traditional varieties of Sangiovese, Colorino, and Canaiolo for the reds and the indigenous varieties of Ansonica and Vermentino for his whites wines. 2020 was a warm vintage but Bibi did such a great

Off Season Greece: Winemaker Michael Kouloglou on Santorini's flavours, viticulture and seaside peace
videovPub Live - The Undrinkables - with Roddy
Over the Christmas holidays many of us were enjoying brussels sprouts. At each visit, there was always someone at the table that viewed them as nature's palate poison. I personally enjoy the wee bitter green balls of goodness, but it turns out that many are genetically sensitive to their taste, to the point they’ll find them inedible. It got me thinking about whisky. Which is all too easy for me. If I’m honest, despite pushing an agenda of flavour promiscuity and staying as open minded as possib
