Portugal for Wine Lovers: Port, the Douro Valley and the Trip of a Lifetime
Reading Time: 7 minutes Portugal exceeded every expectation. Over two weeks, my son and I explored Lisbon, Sintra, Nazaré, Fátima, Porto, the Douro Valley and Óbidos, discovering spectacular vineyards, unforgettable dining, historic cities and some of the world’s most compelling wines. From Port tastings at Cockburn’s and Sandeman to an extraordinary meal at DOC overlooking the Douro River, Portugal proved to be far more than a wine destination—it is a country where wine, culture, history and hospitality come together in remarkable fashion.

Whiskey Review: Ancient Ancient Age 10 Star Bourbon
This week’s pour is a curious one: Ancient Ancient Age 10 Star , a 90-proof bourbon distilled at Buffalo Trace using their well-known Mash Bill #2 (the same one used in Blanton’s and Elmer T. Lee). We haven’t reviewed this bottle since 2019, but we were surprised by what we learned going into this one. Even though Buffalo Trace distills this whiskey, the brand itself is owned by Age International , a Japanese company that retained ownership of several labels, including Ancient Age, Blanton’s, Rock Hill Farms, and Hancock’s Reserve—even after selling the distillery back to Sazerac. At one time, “Ancient Ancient Age” had a 10-year age statement. Today, that age statement is gone, replaced with the ambiguous "10 Star" designation. It’s now rumored to contain bourbon as young as three years old . So what do you get for $16–$19 a liter? We popped the cork to find out. This review is taken from our episode " Iron Man (2008) / Ancien

30-year-old Pelican Brewing looks to non-alcoholic beverages and new locations for expansion
Pelican Brewing owners Jeff Schons (left) and Mary Jones (right) with brewmaster Darron Welch (center) Pelican Brewing is betting on craft soda and variety to boost grocery store sales, and in-person experiencing taprooms to carry the good vibes and Oregon coast centered brands draft beer into their fourth decade. The iconic Oregon Coast craft brewery that started as a brewpub in sleepy Pacific City has been one of the most award-winning breweries in the world and inspired a generation of brewers and that legacy is at the forefront as they celebrate their 30th anniversary this year. As a fan and observer of Pelican Brewing’s legacy since 1996, it has been fascinating to watch the brand go from hard to get destination location, to widely available grocery store best-seller. Pelican’s classic Kiwanda Cream Ale ( now called just Kiwanda ), Pilsner, mixed packs, and the extremely popular Beak Breaker Double IPA is often the best price to quality ratio deal in the store.

The stupefaction of sugar in champagne
For most of history, Champagne’s climate has been unambiguously marginal, characterised by low average temperatures, frequent frosts, and markedly variable vintage conditions. These conditions make ripening challenging, typically resulting in fruit with higher total acidity, lower pH, and modest potential alcohol. Challenging climatic conditions are further complicated by yields, which are commonly extremely high, making […] The post The stupefaction of sugar in champagne first appeared on Word on the Grapevine .
