HOW TO BUY, AND NOT TO BUY, VINEYARDS IN CHAMPAGNE
HOW TO BUY, AND NOT TO BUY, VINEYARDS IN CHAMPAGNE Some fascinating statistics about vineyards in France can be seen in the latest annual report from SAFER (Les Sociétés d’Aménagement Foncier et d’Établissement Rural) - the non-profit umbrella organisation whose brief is to track and guide the use and development of rural land in the best communal interest. Amongst the nine wine making regions in France covered in the report, Champagne is one of only 3 where the price of vineyard land increased in 2025. The drop in prices was most acute in the Bordeaux and Aquitaine region where prices fell by almost 24% versus 2024 Having said this, the price rise in Champagne during the same period was only a modest 0.9% but at an average price of 1.13 million euros per hectare, that is 7 times higher than the average for the entire country! Even more striking is the fact that the report reveals that Champagne represents just 8% of the total surface area of vineyards in France, yet accou

A Holiday Party + Pomander Punch Recipe
Image courtesy of Sarah Ehlinger. For me, it doesn’t really get more festive than a cocktail party that doubles as holiday arts and crafts hour. And chickens. Always AND CHICKENS. So we decided another wreath-making party was due. You can see the first one we did waaaaay back in the way back times here . There is just something really, really satisfying about decorating a wreath (shout-out to Trader Joe’s pre-made holiday wreathes that are so easy to customize), and being able to take it home and hang it on your door or wall for the season. What makes it even more meaningful is the way you have to navigate around chickens stomping through the crafting table. It would be too easy to just make wreathes without a poultry obstacle course, wouldn’t it? Nobody needs easy wreathes. Image courtesy of Sarah Ehlinger. Let’s also add an easy, batched sparkling punch to the mix…this crowd-pleasing Pomander Punch is inspired by the clove- studded oranges of ye olden Victorian times. Actually

Sour season
It seems like only last week I was looking at Ireland's winter beers, but apparently the planet has done that tilting thing again, the weather has turned warmer, and the brewers have had to react appropriately. Refreshing and fruit-laden seems to be how they're achieving it. It's only early summer, though, so just two examples today. Brewers At Play 50: Gose with Lemon Zest, Pink Peppercorns & Thyme is the latest in Kinnegar's limited edition series. The name steals my thunder as regards telling you what it is. I'll add that it's 3.7% ABV and a pale, Golden-Delicious, yellow. The lemon zest hits hard in the aroma, enhanced by a fun mineral tartness. That leaves the flavour for the pepper and herb but I couldn't really taste them. Up front it's lemon again, though less zesty, with a touch of sticky cordial about it. It is at least balanced by a sherbet effervesence, and a degree of salinity, both of which ensure it stays refreshing: arguably the most important aspect. That it'
