Clos Figueras: Defining the Modern Priorat
It’s difficult to imagine, standing among Priorat’s steep, slate-covered vineyards, that this severe landscape was once considered expendable. By European standards, its ascent has been unusually fast. Today, the region’s wines command global attention, and its slopes are a big draw for collectors and sommeliers alike.

videoSpain’s Geography Explained: Mountains, Plains and Wine Regions
Join me for Part 1 of Mastering Spain’s geography, as I explore the mountains, plains, coastlines and key physical features that shape Spain and its wine regions. In this video, I look at Spain’s position on the Iberian Peninsula, the importance of the Meseta Central, the major mountain ranges including the Pyrenees, Sistema Ibérico, Sistema Central, Sierra Morena and Sistemas Béticos, as well as the key plains and depressions such as the Ebro Depression and Guadalquivir Basin. This is essential background for understanding Spanish wine, climate, altitude, regional identity and why Spain’s vineyards behave so differently from north to south and east to west. Part 2, covering the major rivers of Spain, is available inside the Wine with Jimmy Club. 00:00 Introduction to Mastering Spain Geography 01:01 Spain’s Location on the Iberian Peninsula 02:02 Spain’s Physical Geography and the Meseta 03:20 Spain’s Coastline, Seas and Islands 04:52 Spain’s Borders: France, Portugal, Gibraltar, C

Whiskey Review: Old Elk Infinity Blend
Introduction This week on the Film & Whiskey podcast, we’re diving into the 2023 edition of Old Elk Infinity Blend , a unique yearly experiment from the Colorado-based distillery. We’ve had Old Elk on the show before, but it’s been a while, so we were excited to see what their latest Infinity Blend has to offer. This particular iteration features a blend of Old Elk’s own distillate, marking the first time they’ve skipped sourcing from other producers (aside from a small leftover portion from the 2022 blend). The breakdown of the blend is: 15.3% of the 2022 Infinity Blend 40% high malt bourbon (8 years) 43.2% wheat whiskey (7 years) 1.5% wheat whiskey (10 years) The whiskey clocks in at 111.15 proof (55.575% ABV) and is classified as a blended whiskey , not a bourbon, due to the combination of mashbills. With all that background out of the way, let’s jump into our review. This review was taken from the episode " Her (2013) / Old Elk Infinity Blend
