videoMore Early Wine Harvests Across Europe & Interest in Baijiu? The Week in Wine Podcast
Don returns from the UK and Ireland where he wonders if pub-goers might not be better off going to a wine bar and sharing a bottle of wine, given the price of a beer in the capital. Notable mentions on Don's travels include The Winemakers' Club in London and Green Acres in Wexford, among others. A bottle of Nosiola, some great pints of Guinness and a Beaune Premier Cru white are the stars of the last seven and a bit days. Onto wine news and, a sudden spike in US interest in Baijiu aside, the last week has almost entirely been about early harvests across Europe, from Burgundy to Bordeaux, Alsace to Champagne and beyond. There's more on the early Bordeaux harvest (where some estates have started picking red wines); a farewell to Rioja's Benjamin Romeo; a Bordeaux wildfire victim is given hope by a Facebook appeal; a wine cooperative in Rias Baixas aims to go fully digital; and a young winery in Ribeiro produces a solar eclipse wine. There's also more to look forward to this week, with

Il gusto di attraversare un luogo: Villa Corallo Relais e Ristorante Zunica 1880
La prima volta che sono arrivata a Villa Corallo non è stato per pranzo. Quel giorno non mi sono seduta a tavola. Ho camminato. ph. http://www.andreapiunti.it Ho percorso i viali della tenuta, attraversato gli ambienti della villa, osservato le opere d’arte, ascoltato i racconti di chi questo luogo lo ha immaginato, restaurato e continua a custodirlo ogni giorno. Qualche tempo dopo ho ricevuto l’invito per un pranzo riservato alla stampa e ai comunicatori. Ed è stato allora che ho capito che il pranzo era cominciato durante quella prima visita. Ci sono luoghi che non si comprendono entrando in una stanza. Si comprendono attraversandoli. Villa Corallo è uno di questi. La bellezza, qui, si deposita lentamente. Camminando lungo i viali della tenuta, entrando negli ambienti della villa, soffermandosi davanti a un’opera d’arte, scambiando qualche parola con chi quel luogo lo vive ogni giorno. È una bellezza che si lascia abitare, più che ammirare. A poco a poco si smette di guardare una dim

Whiskey Review: Jefferson's Reserve Pritchard Hill Cabernet Cask Finished Bourbon
There’s something both amusing and humbling about revisiting our early reviews. In those days, our scores often reflected a stricter stance, and we didn’t always weigh market value as heavily as we do now. Case in point: our review of Jefferson's Reserve Pritchard Hill. Were we too harsh in our judgment, or did we have it right all along? Maybe it’s worth revisiting. Keep reading to see where we ended up. This review is taken from our episode " Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire / Jefferson's Pritchard Hill ." Click the link to listen to this review in audio format. Introduction Today, we're diving into Jefferson's Pritchard Hill Cabernet Cask Finished Whiskey, an intriguing expression from Jefferson’s Reserve line. This bourbon starts as a 15-year aged whiskey before being finished for an additional 12 months in French oak casks previously used for Pritchard Hill Cabernet Sauvignon. At 90.2 proof, it promises a smoother, less punchy experience than some higher

No solutions, only tradeoffs… getting back in shape, again
If there has been one silver lining that came from crashing out of the beer industry, no longer traveling and going back to the 9-5 insurance grind, it’s been being able to fall into a routine and get back in the gym for the first time years. Memorial Day Murph, 2025. I’ve made a ton of progress even since then I’ve been back at the gym pretty regularly for over a year now. I’ve definitely gotten stronger and better conditioned. Pounds and inches have been a bit harder to drop. The past couple of months I’ve made an effort to be even more consistent with my workouts, trying to get 7,000 steps in a day, intermittent fasting, drinking at least 80 ounces of water per day, and yes, drinking less beer. Ten years ago was the first time I had to confront the liquid calories involved in homebrewing and being a beer lover. At that time I did go back to the gym for a while until I tore my rotator cuff. I didn’t injure it at the gym. I slipped while chasing a train after Andy and I we

Whiskey Review: Jefferson's Small Batch Bourbon
From the Vault It's funny revisiting reviews from the early days of our podcast--we were certainly harsher with our scoring than we are now. Not that we've softened up our stance on whether we like something, but I think now we have a better understanding of, say, a product's value compared to the rest of the market, and not based solely on our enjoyment of it. I say all of that because as I look through our scores from 2021 on Jefferson's Small Batch Bourbon--they seem a bit harsh. Should we revisit this one? Were we overly critical? Or did we get it just right? Read on to find out. This review is taken from our episode " Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / Jefferson's Small Batch ." Click the link to listen to this review in audio format. What’s Unique About Jefferson’s Small Batch Bourbon? Jefferson’s Small Batch Bourbon is an entry-level expression from Jefferson’s, a brand celebrated for its experimental approach to whiskey. Founded in 1997, Jefferso
