Making Irpinia, home
If one searches for the highlights to visit in Campania, Italy, you’ll note a running similarity: they’re essentially all on the coast. Naples, Sorrento, and Pompeii are cities and sites which always pop up and are definitely worth a visit. I’d even posit that Naples, either in spite of or due to its innate chaos, is one of the few places in Italy that I still truly love. Continuing down one’s listicle of choice will arrive to Vesuvius and the islands of Ischia and Capri for natural wonders that one […] For full access, please log in or purchase a subscription.

Whiskey Review: Tullamore DEW Irish Whiskey
Introduction Today, we’re revisiting one of the most iconic names in Irish whiskey: Tullamore D.E.W. Bob kicks things off by clearing up the pronunciation debate. “It’s labeled as Tullamore D-E-W, with little periods in between each letter, but I’ve checked, and it’s pronounced ‘Dew.’ So, Tullamore Dew it is.” This triple-distilled blend combines malt, grain, and pot still whiskey—the three major categories of Irish whiskey. It’s non-age-stated, so we know it’s at least three years old, and it’s proofed down to 80 proof. Brad reflects on his early encounters with Tullamore. “This was recommended to me way back before we started the podcast. I remember liking Jameson, and someone suggested I try Tullamore Dew. It was a couple bucks cheaper at the time, and I’ve been a fan since.” This bottle has always gone head-to-head with Jameson in both price and quality, and today we’ll see if it still h

Whisky Review: Glenmorangie Nectar D'Or Single Malt Scotch
Introduction Today, we’re diving into Glenmorangie Nectar D’Or, a single malt Scotch whisky that has become a touchstone for us over the years. The Nectar D’Or has gone through a few transformations since we first tried it. Back then, it was a 12-year-old expression finished in Sauternes casks, part of a sampler pack that also included the Glenmorangie Original, Lasanta, and Quinta Ruban. When our hosts first tried the sampler pack , it was an incredible deal, offering four 100 ml bottles for $25. We remember liking the Quinta Ruban and Lasanta more than the Nectar D’Or, which felt overpriced compared to its siblings. Now, this 12-year-old version has been replaced by a 16-year-old expression finished in multiple casks. But today, we’re revisiting the original 12-year-old to see if our impressions hold up. Nose Brad: This is one of the best noses we’ve encountered in a while. I’m picking up toasted candied almonds, tons of honey—almost ho

Whiskey Review: Noah's Mill Bourbon
Noah’s Mill is a bourbon produced by Kentucky Bourbon Distillers, Ltd. (KBD), better known as Willett Distilling Company or simply “Willett.” Established in 1935, Willett has a storied history that includes a shift to ethanol production in the 1970s and a complete halt in distilling by the 1980s. The company resumed distilling spirits in 2012, and since then, its own distillate has slowly replaced sourced whiskey in their various products. Noah’s Mill was first introduced in the mid-1990s with a 15-year age statement, later removed in the early 2000s. For much of its history, Noah’s Mill was a sourced product, with whiskey likely originating from a number of distilleries. However, as Willett’s distillate reached sufficient age, the company transitioned Noah’s Mill to include their own whiskey starting with batches from 2022–2023. The review you’re reading today was recorded in 2021 and features the older, sourced version of Noah&rsq

Whiskey Review: Bushmills 30-Year Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Introduction Today, we’re diving into Bushmills 30-Year Single Malt Irish Whiskey. This rare expression from Bushmills is aged for 14 years in a mix of bourbon barrels and sherry butts, then finished for an additional 16 years in first-fill Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry casks. It’s bottled at 46% ABV, and this is easily the darkest Irish whiskey we’ve ever seen. Let’s break it down. Nose A rich blend of almond, dried cherry, and syrupy sweetness, setting the stage for a luxurious whiskey. Brad: This is a beautiful nose, Bob. There’s a nice almond note that runs throughout, along with dried cherry, sweet grape from the PX casks, and even a touch of melon. It all sits on a foundation of barley. I think this is an incredible nose— 9/10 . Bob: I’m with you, Brad. This has a really deep, rich decadence that you don’t typically get with Irish whiskey. It reminded me of when we reviewed Amrut Fusion a few years ago—there’s a simil

videoSpicy Food Doesn't Need to Wreck Your Wine
Spice and wine have a nasty habit of turning on each other. Take a big tannic red into a bowl of something fiery and the heat spikes, the fruit vanishes, and your mouth pays for it. So what actually works when the food bites back? This one digs into the real chemistry of pairing wine with spicy food: why capsaicin torches certain styles, why a little sweetness and lower alcohol can tame the burn, and how to stop reaching for the exact bottle that makes everything worse. Four wines get pulled apart to show what holds up against heat and what falls flat. Whether you're a hot-sauce lifer or you flinch at a chili flake, you'll walk away knowing what to grab next time dinner comes with a warning label.
