What Is Vegan Wine and How Is It Different from Regular Wine
You’d think most wine is made from grapes with a few extra additives for preservation, such assugar or sulfites to maintain freshness. But believe it or not, if you’re vegan, wine requires justas much research as other types of drinks or food before having it to ensure that no hiddenanimal-derived processing aids were used. Surprisingly, not all […] This post What Is Vegan Wine and How Is It Different from Regular Wine was posted on WineDivaa .

Heron Hill Reserve Merlot 2016 Review – Showing Its Age
One of the joys of having a robust wine cellar at home is you can start to forget about bottles you've purchased. Sometimes this is on purpose to let bottles age. Other times it is simply because you have too much wine and opt to wait for a perfect pairing to come along. For us, ... Read more

Spottswoode
Here is the gorgeous new 2025 Spottswoode Sauvignon Blanc. Today we share the wines of one of Napa’s most historic properties. Spottswoode can date back to 1882. Founded by Mrs. Albert Spotts in 1910 and was later acquired by Mary and Jack Novak in 1972, Mary released Spottswoode’s first Cabernet Sauvignon in 1982, exactly one hundred years after the estate’s founding. The wines are well-structured, with gobs of aging potential. I have enjoyed the early ‘90s Spottswoode wines that seem to be timeless. Innovators in viticulture, they began organic farming all the way back in 1985. Today Mary’s daughter Beth Novak manages the winery, and daughter Lindsay Novak serves as the winery’s Marketing Ambassador. Every year Spottswoode produces an Estate Cabernet Sauvignon and an Estate Sauvignon Blanc in honor of their founder, Mary Novak. Spottswoode also crafts a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon called Lyndenhurst, a dual-appellation Spottswoode Sauvignon Blanc, and two limited-production wines

Beer foam is often misunderstood, seen by some drinkers as little more than decoration or wasted beer. Yet from a brewing and sensory perspective, foam plays a fundamental role in how beer looks, smells and tastes. In this article, brewer, beer judge and Budvar Global Brand Ambassador Radim Zvánovec explores the science, tradition and service techniques behind great beer foam, from the proteins and hop compounds that stabilise it to the Czech pouring culture that treats foam as an essential part of the drinking experience itself. Many consumers still see foam as something undesirable, maybe a trick to serve less beer for the same price. In many parts of the world, a beer with a thick, creamy head is still met with the familiar reaction: “Too much foam.” Or “Can you add Flake in it!?” Yet from a brewing and sensory perspective, the exact opposite is true. Good foam is one of the clearest indicators of beer quality. A stable foam head reflects proper carbonation, clean glassware, healthy
