Everything You Know About Don Papa Is a Lie: The Secret Bottle Swap
If you have been wandering down the spirits aisle for the last few years you have watched a masterclass in corporate gaslighting. The bottle is instantly familiar. It is heavy when you pick if off the shelf and it features that lush and overly curated Sugarlandia packaging. It looks like a Steampunk nightmare. It is...

videoForaging a meal with a Michelin Chef in the Italian Alps
Ciao! this is Pier and Chiara, Italians Sommelier and musicians. We travel a lot but home is Alba, the land of Barolo and Barbaresco wine. Deep in the Valle Varaita — a wild, almost unknown valley less than an hour from Barbaresco — we spent a morning foraging with Paolo Servaj, a chef who walked away from the Michelin world to build something completely different. "Servaj" in Piedmontese means wild. And that's exactly what this experience is. We hiked through alpine meadows collecting wild herbs, lichens, and edible plants — Herba di Santa Barbara, Pseudevernia furfuracea, Salvia Pratensis — then watched Paolo transform everything we'd gathered into a stunning omakase lunch on the spot: ricotta gnocchi with wild spinach, butter, and foraged sage. No menu. No supermarket. Just the mountain, the season, and the knowledge to read both. This is Piedmont beyond Barolo and the Langhe. And it will change how you think about food. ────────────────────────── 🌿 BOOK THE FORAGING EXPERI

Roy Rogers Drink
The Roy Rogers drink is a refreshing classic mocktail. If you have ever loved a Shirley Temple, you will love this recipe. Similar to the Shirley Temple it’s simply a lot more fun to order a drink named after a famous actor than a basic cola with grenadine. Roy Rogers, known as King of the Cowboys,…

Big Peat – Leiden Edition 2026
Douglas Laing likes to play with their Big Peat series, one of the cornerstones of the Remarkable Regional Malts range. Limited editions are often nicely themed, with the typical character in a Christmas or Sinterklaas disguise. Many places around the world also have their localised edition: Mount Fuji, Tirol, Haemeldaeme... you name it.For Whisky in Leiden 2026 , which takes place next weekend in a church in Leiden, they came up with a tequila finished version. Big Peat - The Leiden Edition (60,9%, Douglas Laing 2026, tequila cask finish, 256 btl.) Nose: lots of mineral notes, seaweed, damp soil, along with roasted lemons and kippers. Nice mentholated / camphory notes. Also bonfire ash and a slightly sweeter hint of vanilla and unripe peach. Light herbal undertones as well. Really good. There's a very light green / vegetal note but I'm not getting much of the expected agave. Mouth: big and punchy. Quite raw, with a lot of white pepper and fiery medicinal peat coming out. Lemon j

A. Overholt Monongahela Mash Scoresheet & Review
The whiskey industry is entering a potentially precarious position. Dust from the largely pandemic-born boom continues to settle while producers find ways to adapt to the shifting landscape. It wasn’t so long ago that a release could sell strictly on the laurel of novelty, but now? Customers and consumers alike are becoming more selective with […]

Old Age
I seem to be caught in a plethora of medical appointments at the moment. Apart from the ongoing saga of my stomach and the recent dental work which requires follow-up, I had made an appointment with my usual dentist for an annual check-up in July. However, I have been experiencing palpitations during the night, so an ECG was called for and now a follow-up with the GP to discuss what they have found. I also have an upcoming appointment with my consultant gastroenterologist in a couple of weeks. It seems my diary is full of appointments. Getting old sucks. I've not been firing on all cylinders and have suspended my gym membership for the month of July to have a bit of a restful few weeks. I hope to be back to my normal self by August. I had to laugh the other day. I was doing a shift on the till at the foodbank charity shop and was chatting to the Assistant Manageress. She told me her cat is 16 and has dementia. She said it wanders round in the night miaowing, presumably beca

Old Charter Oak "Finest Oak" Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Review
“Fishing is a delusion entirely surrounded by liars in old clothes.” –Don Marquis This is a bottle I have been hunting for some time. I'm not sure if we've historically had distribution for Old Charter Oak available in Massachusetts, but when a bottle was sitting in the glass cabinet at one of my local stores for a hair above MSRP, I pulled the trigger without a second thought. For some reason it took me a few weeks to open this one after waiting years to finally taste it. Friends coming over...
