2022 Truchard Vineyards Pinot Noir – A Great Surprise!
Photo ©Michael Kelly Background Admittedly I don’t stock a lot of Pinot Noir wines in the cellar. It is not because I don’t like the varietal, but contrary, I am enthralled with its allure of fragrance, coloring and taste. Unfortunately, Pinot in my opinion is one of the most difficult grapes to produce with its […]

Why Do Wine Bottles Have a Dent in the Bottom? Here’s the Real Reason
Here’s an experiment for your next trip to the wine shop. Pick up two bottles that look roughly the same size and shape. Turn them both upside down.

Michelin And The Death Of The Wine Guide
It was entirely predictable that Michelin’s new venture into wine would trigger huffy French recriminations. Its Wine Selection Burgundy 2026, launched this month, awarded nine producers the top accolade of three grapes, another 20 vignerons two grapes, and 33 one grape. A further 32 were merely “selected”. Mais putain! They only gave Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux one […]

Cask vs keg beer: what is the difference?
Two beer taps can sit side by side at the bar and deliver noticeably different drinking experiences. One may draw beer from a cask through a handpump, while the other serves beer from a pressurised keg. The choice between cask and keg affects how the beer develops after leaving the brewery, how it is dispensed and its temperature and carbonation when served. So, what separates the two? Casks: a traditional vessel? Beer has been stored and transported in wooden casks for centuries. The wood could influence the beer as it rested, although this is distinct from the deliberate barrel ageing used by some brewers today to introduce flavours from oak or from wine and spirits previously held in the vessel. Most modern casks are made from stainless steel or aluminium, making them easier to clean, move and reuse. Traditional sizes include the 54-imperial-gallon hogshead (245 litres), the nine-imperial-gallon firkin (41 litres) and the 4.5-imperial-gallon pin (20.5 litres). Cask-conditioned beer

Behind the Cork™ - Craggy Range Pinot Noir
2025 Craggy Range Pinot Noir ($32.99) Established in 1998, Craggy Range is a family-owned estate that revolutionized New Zealand wine by matching specific grapes to unique terroirs. This 2025 Craggy Range Pinot Noir is made from over ten distinct clones that were hand-harvested. The grapes were then destemmed (85%) prior to fermentation in a combination of open top stainless steel tanks and French oak using indigenous yeasts. The many different Pinot Noir clones are vinified separately and then blended. The wine ages 7 months in French oak barriques, 15% new, before being fined , coarse filtered and bottled in late 2025. This Craggy Range Pinot Noir is pale ruby in color with delicate aromas of dark cherry, raspberry and cranberry, with a subtle note of dried herbs. On the palate, this medium-bodied wine has flavors of black and red cherry and strawberry. It has soft tannins that result in a smooth and easy mouth-feel. It finishes with touches of sweet jam. The 2025 Craggy Ra

Ep 614: The Alto Piemonte – Piedmont’s Best Kept Secret
Although the best-known wines of Piemonte are in the south — in Alba, Roero, Cuneo, and Asti – there is a treasure trove of excellent Nebbiolo and Nebbiolo blends northeast of the famed Barolo and Barbaresco in the Langhe. These are small DOCGs and DOCs in the foothills of the Italian Alps that are collectively called Alto Piemonte – "higher (or upper) Piemonte." Greatly reduced in status and size, Alto Piemonte today is a collection of small appellations across the foothills of the Alps, in and around the Sesia River and a swath of forests. The region sits in the shadow of Monte Rosa, which at 4,634 meters/15200 ft is the second-highest peak in the Alps. Map: Alto Piemonte. Credit: Skurnik Wines Because of the cooling breezes and lower nighttime temperatures, Alto Piemonte is cooler than the Langhe and Roero. That means that some Nebbiolo producers are starting to look northeast for new frontiers for growing grapes. Changes are afoot, which make this region worth knowing about now, wh
