videoWhy Port and Sherry Aren't the Same Thing
Picture the end of a great meal. You don't want to crack open another full bottle, but you want one last little something. In comes a small glass of deep, sticky, sweet liquid, and suddenly you're in the world of fortified wine. This whole family of drinks started as a fix for a very practical problem: how do you stop wine from spoiling on long, hot, bumpy sea voyages? The answer was to splash in a distilled spirit, usually brandy, building a little fort of alcohol around the wine to keep it safe. That one hack accidentally created some of the most unique wines on the planet, and it all hinges on a single decision: when you add the spirit. Add it during fermentation and you shut the yeast party down early, leaving behind sweetness. Let the party finish first and you get something bone dry. From there we travel the globe to see how one technique splits into wildly different styles, from ruby and tawny to the weird, wonderful living yeast blanket that ages certain wines under a creamy l

Keeping a straight face
Our choir rehearsals started again this week and we are going to start preparing for our big sell-out summer concert with the broad title of 'Family'. One of the songs we started on this week is Mamma Mia. We sang it with gusto and it sounded just like a karaoke night at the pub! I'm sure with some refinement we'll sound better by the summer. Another of the songs in our repertoire is going to be 'We are Family' by Sister Sledge. I don't know how I am going to be able to sing this with a straight face as I always have Peter Kay's version of it in my head. Here it is for those who don't know it....

🎧Ep 180: Trends & Truth | Featuring WarRoom Cellars President Andrew Nelson + Les Petites Canailles GM Alex Wolfe
🍇 Where Wine Takes You, Episode Highlights 🍷 Who actually decides what’s next in wine? This episode puts that question in front of two people who see the consumer from very different sides of the table. Alex Wolfe, General Manager at Les Petites Canailles, lives in the moment where a guest actually has to choose a bottle. Andrew Nelson, President and Co-Founder of WarRoom Cellars, is looking at that same consumer from the brand side, acquiring and revitalizing legacy names and figuring out what people still love about them. The conversation gets into the difference between a trend and a fad, orange wine, chilled reds, Riesling, large-format bottles, alternative packaging, value, restaurant wine lists, and the strange alchemy of taking a wine brand with real history and giving it a second act. Andrew also takes us inside WarRoom’s approach to brands like Bonny Doon Vineyard and its newly acquired Pacific Rim, while Alex talks about being the conduit between the enormous world of wine

Walla Walla Vintners
Derrek Vipond crafts some beautiful wines for Walla Walla Vintners. It is my pleasure to introduce one of the oldest wineries in the Walla Walla Valley. Proprietors Scott and Nici Haladay have really been investing time and energy into their winery. A few years ago they hired Derrek Vipont from Long Shadows who started his career at Walla Walla Community College in the Enology and Viticulture program. After completing his education with a degree from Oregon State University in Fermentation Science, Derrek worked several harvests across the globe before eventually moving back to Walla Walla and joining Walla Walla Vintners in January 2019. He makes some beautiful wines for Walla Walla Vintners. I adored the new 2024 ‘Woven Fields’ Red Wine (OB, 92) which impresses for the price. Learn more about these great new releases at https://wallawallavintners.com Here are my reviews of the new wines by Walla Walla Vintners. 2024 Walla Walla Vintners ‘Woven Fields’ Red Wine- T

🎧Costco Kirkland Signature Châteauneuf-du-Pape Challenge!
Châteauneuf-du-Pape is one of the world’s great wines, but many people haven’t tried it because it can be darn expensive. So, when Costco drops their Kirkland Signature version of the wine, the natural question is “should I buy it?” Well, we are here to help you make that decision. Châteauneuf-du-Pape has a rather remarkable history, harkening back to a time when the papacy was in France, not Rome, and even a period when there were two popes for a longer period than you might expect. We talk about that history, as well as some of the rules and restrictions around Châteauneuf-du-Pape. But, what you really want to know is “should I buy it?!?” and that is what we will help you decide in this episode. And just to make sure we are giving you good advice, we compare the Costco Kirkland version to a well regarded and highly rated version of the wine just to make sure. We don’t want to spoil it, but the Kirkland version compares very well. As an extra bonus, we talk about the hot new wine tren
