Bridgetown Winery Redtale 2024
This Bridgetown Winery Redtale is a great drink that screams for yiros, burgers and anything in between. Give it some time to breathe and the attractive aromatic lift will whisk you away. A blend of Barbera, Tempranillo and Shiraz (40/40/20), all parcels were co-fermented. I love the vibrancy of the red and purple berries and the structure the Shiraz brings to tie it together. Some cola, dark chocolate, puffs of earthiness and pan juices all put their shoulder to the wheel. Woodsy spices, a touch of five spice and some fruit bun spices elevate its appeal on close. It's a terrific drink and one that I would enthusiastically recommend. 92/100 Region: Blackwood Valley RRP: $30 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X

Midwest Beer Show Recap: Catching Up on the Latest Beer News and Trends
The latest episode of the Midwest Beer Show was another great reminder of why I enjoy doing this series. Beer is always changing, and sometimes the best conversations happen when we slow things down, grab something good to drink, and talk through what is happening across the industry. For this episode, Dave from Beer In Front joined me again as we took a look at the latest beer news and trends making noise around the Midwest and beyond. The Midwest has always had a strong beer identity, but it is also a region where you can really see how the industry continues to shift. Breweries are adjusting, beer drinkers are changing habits, and taprooms are still trying to find the right balance between community, creativity, and business. That is what makes these conversations so interesting. On the surface, beer can seem simple. You pick up a pint, you enjoy the flavor, and you move on. But when you start paying attention to the stories behind the beer, there is always more going on. There are

Whisky Review: Cutty Sark Blended Scotch
Introduction This week on Film & Whiskey, we cracked open a bottle of Cutty Sark Blended Scotch Whisky , one of the most recognizable (and historically underrated) Scotch brands on the market. Named after the famous clipper ship that’s still tourable in England, Cutty Sark has been around since 1923 , making it a staple of the affordable Scotch world. It’s a blended Scotch, bottled at 80 proof , and usually priced around $13–$15 , making it a true budget contender. We weren’t sure what to expect from this one. Bob had a bottle sitting around for about a year and offloaded half to Brad, which is usually a sign that expectations are low. But what we found inside that unmistakable green bottle genuinely surprised us. This review is taken from our episode " If Beale Street Could Talk / Cutty Sark ." Click the link to listen to this review in audio format. Nose Brad: The overarching note of this nose is that it is young and pungent. It stings the nostrils, if you

Whisky Review: Talisker 10 Year Single Malt Scotch
When it comes to peated Scotch, there’s a whole spectrum of intensity, and we’re starting to realize Talisker might have found the sweet spot. This week, we’re diving into the Talisker 10 Year, our first-ever review from the Talisker distillery. It's a single malt Scotch whisky aged for a decade and bottled at 91.6 proof (45.8% ABV). We got our hands on a 200ml sample bottle as part of a “coastal” themed Scotch set—and it turns out this bottle has a whole lot to say for itself. Here's our full breakdown. The following review is taken from our episode " Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 / Talisker 10 ." Click the link to listen to this review in audio format. Nose Brad: Man, it is a really nice nose. I'm getting like soft peat. It's not like overpowering—with little bits of brine and a bit of caramel to kind of underlay it. It's got almost like that salted caramel smell. And then there's leather and tobacco and green apple as I got deeper into it.

396: Can Bordeaux Reinvent Itself? How One of Wine's Greatest Regions is Adapting to a Changing World
Can Bordeaux adapt to changing wine tastes without losing its identity? Bordeaux is pulling up thousands of hectares of vines because of overproduction. How does Mouton Cadet's model offer a way out for some wine growers? How are modern Bordeaux producers, like Mouton Cadet, creating wines with more energy, smoothness, and drinkability for today's consumers? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Véronique Hombroekx, the Managing Director for the Mouton Cadet Brand and Jérôme Aguirre, Director, Mouton Cadet Wines, about their Fair for Life program. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks . Highlights Why did Canada become one of the first markets chosen for Mouton Cadet's Fair for Life launch? What does the success of Fair for Life wines in Canada reveal about today's wine consumers? Why does Veronique see consumer support as a direct investment in the future of winegrowers? How is Mouton Cadet helping consumers un
