409: How can two rums taste completely different even though they're both made from sugar cane? Kara Newman reveals the secret
How can two rums taste completely different even though they're both made from sugar cane? What makes Jamaican rum so famously funky, and what does a dunder pit have to do with it? How does the type of ice you use change the strength, temperature, and texture of a cocktail? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Kara Newman, the author of eight cocktail books. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks . Giveaway One of you is going to win a copy of one of Kara Newman's The Cocktail Cabinet .

video100-Year-Old Wine: Poison or Perfect?
Angus thought he had spent $450 on a bottle of wine from 1927. Then Master Sommelier Carlos Santos revealed that the label did not tell the whole story. In this episode of Got Somme, Angus and Carlos open a rare Seppeltsfield 1927 Para Liqueur Tawny and investigate what the date on the bottle actually means. Is the wine genuinely almost 100 years old, or does it contain only a small portion of wine from 1927? Carlos explains how these historic Australian fortified wines were blended, why the year represented the oldest component in the bottle and how ageing in oak transforms a dark red wine into an intensely concentrated Tawny. They also explore the difference between Tawny and Ruby fortified wines, how long an opened bottle can last, the best temperature for serving fortified wine and what food you should pair with it. Was this historic bottle worth $450? Watch until the end for Angus and Carlos’ verdict. Shop the RIEDEL range here: https://www.riedel.com/en-au Australian liste
videoI Bought 12 Bottles After One Sip of This $28 Wine
What if your new favourite Australian wine came from a region you have never heard of and cost less than $30? Angus O’Loughlin and Master Sommelier Carlos Santos are joined by winemaker Andrew Dawson from Yeah Wine to explore Blackwood Valley, one of Western Australia’s most exciting and overlooked wine regions. Nestled inland from Margaret River, Blackwood Valley is home to family-run vineyards, rolling hills and a distinctive continental climate that produces beautifully expressive Chardonnay, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, without the premium price tag. The conversation begins with a 2023 Whimwood Estate Chardonnay so good Angus ordered 12 bottles. Hand-picked, whole-bunch pressed and fermented in French oak, this impressive Blackwood Valley wine is crafted using techniques commonly associated with much more expensive Chardonnay. From there, the trio tastes Beulah Wines’ 2023 Shiraz, a bright, medium-bodied expression grown by the Nield family, before discovering Andrew’

videoWhy Global Warming Is Making the West Sonoma Coast Cooler
The Pacific Ocean acts like a giant refrigerator on the West Sonoma Coast, cooling vineyards during summer while helping protect them from frost in winter. Carroll Kemp explains how this maritime influence creates a long, slow ripening season, and why rising temperatures inland have, surprisingly, brought more fog to the coast and slightly cooler daytime temperatures. The result? Fresh, bright wines with naturally moderate alcohol. #WestSonomaCoast #CaliforniaWine #WineWithJimmy #CoolClimateWine #Sonoma #WineEducation
