Whiskey Review: Bardstown Bourbon Company Distillery Reserve Hokkaido Mizunara Oak Finish
This week, we’re diving into a special release from one of our favorite producers—Bardstown Bourbon Company. This bottle is part of their Distillery Reserve Series, and it’s called the Hokkaido Mizunara Oak Finish. What makes this release special? It’s a blend of four straight whiskeys: two from Kentucky, one from Indiana, and one from Tennessee—the Tennessee whiskey being 18 years old. Altogether, the whiskeys range from 9 to 18 years in age, and the final product is finished for 28 months in Japanese Mizunara Oak barrels. It clocks in at 109.3 proof and is only available at the distillery in 375ml format. Nose Bob: I really like this. It’s got some super exotic fruit notes. It’s caramel-heavy, with a lot of maple and brown sugar, but underneath it all, I’m getting toasted coconut and almond—reminds me of a German almond cake. Really nice. 8.5/10 Brad: Man, the nose is absolutely delicious. I get cinnamon, almonds, a simple syrup v

When “Only Alcohol Calms My OCD” Becomes a Trap
If you’ve ever thought, “Only alcohol could calm down my OCD,” you are not alone. Many people discover that a few drinks seem to quiet intrusive thoughts, soften anxiety, and make rituals feel less urgent—for a little while. It can feel like you’ve finally found something that works when nothing else has. But when OCD and alcohol start to travel together, the short-term relief often turns into a second, heavier burden: alcohol use disorder. This article explains why drinking feels like it helps, how it actually keeps OCD stuck, and what effective, long-term help looks like—especially if you need treatment in Texas.

videoMaster Sommelier Blind Tastes White Merlot
In this episode of the Got Somme Blind Wine Series, Angus throws Carlos Santos, Master Sommelier, one of the hardest blind tastings yet. The twist? The wine is served in a fully blacked-out RIEDEL blind tasting glass, meaning Carlos can’t see the colour, viscosity or clarity. It could be Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Grüner Veltliner or even something completely unexpected. As Carlos works through the aromas, structure, acid, body and flavour profile, the wine starts to point in every direction at once. Fresh citrus, green apple, pear, almond shell, savoury texture and a salty finish all suggest a white wine, but the reveal leaves both Angus and Carlos genuinely stunned. The wine? Bianco di Merlot from Switzerland. Thanks https://invidiawines.com/ Yes, a white wine made from Merlot. This is one of the most surprising blind tastings we’ve done on Got Somme, and a perfect example of how much colour influences the way we assess wine. Episode Highlights - Angus introduces the R

MenoDodicIGP: Settesoli - Rosso Terre Siciliane IGT
di Stefano Tesi Nel corso dei miei ricorrenti raid tra gli scaffali della Gdo alla ricerca, talvolta autolesionistica e talaltra fortunata, di vini a poco prezzo da sperimentare tanto per il gusto di farlo e da provare senza problemi, credo di non aver mai trovato, finora almeno, una bottiglia col rapporto qualità/prezzo migliore di questo. E' un rosso fresco, agile, dissetante, con un bel profumo fragrante e un giusto corpo, da stappare in allegria tanto coi piatti invernali che, meglio se appena rinfrescato, colle pietanze estive. Nella sua categoria, un ottimo acquisto. Prezzo medio 3,5 euro
videoFirst Look At The New Robert Mondavi Winery
If Robert Mondavi emphasized the winemaker as king, today’s Napa has realized the importance of terroir. So, while the new winery includes a restored arch and tower of May’s original design, the new elements are about linking that arch to the To Kalon vineyard surrounding the winery, the Mayacamas mountains and the Napa River. The result is a striking and fitting symbol for a new Napa.
