videoStop being confused by German wine
Think German Riesling is too confusing? Give me one minute. Discover the secret code behind German wine labels and the steep vineyards of the Mosel. What questions does this video answer? How do you read a German wine label? What does "Trocken" mean on a wine bottle? Is German Riesling always sweet? What is the difference between Kabinett, Spätlese, and Auslese? Why do Mosel vineyards have slate soils? About This Video: German wine isn't complicated—it is precise. Certified Italian Wine Ambassador Greg Martellotto breaks down the secret code behind German Riesling so you can buy with confidence. First, we explore the breathtaking Mosel region, where vines cling to impossibly steep slate slopes, driving their roots deep to create wines with unmistakable mineral character. Next, we decode the label: "Trocken" simply means dry. Meanwhile, terms like Kabinett, Spätlese, and Auslese do not automatically mean the wine is sweet; they describe the increasing ripeness of the grapes at h

Fort Berens: Built for the Future
For any winery, succession is one of the most delicate moments in its evolution. Consumers may focus on the name on the label, but behind every bottle are countless decisions shaped by the people guiding the vineyard and cellar. When a respected winemaker departs, uncertainty can often follow. At Fort Berens Estate Winery, however, […] The post Fort Berens: Built for the Future appeared first on Advinetures.ca .

Six bottles, two schools of winemaking, one shipment. Welcome inside the Fall 2026 Decanter box: Old Guard vs. Vanguard. 🍷 This season we're pouring three legacy producers who've been doing this for generations against three rule-breakers rewriting what their regions are capable of — Beaujolais, Bordeaux, and Champagne on one side; Napa, Sonoma, and Rueda on the other.

You'll notice each bottle is tagged Old Guard or Vanguard on the shelf talker we included; that's the lens for every video this shipment, so keep it handy while you work through the case. New here? Decanter is Wine Access's seasonal wine club: six bottles, hand-picked by our sommelier team, shipped to your door a few times a year.

videoA Day in the Life of a Wine Rep
One winemaker landed from South Africa at 5pm the night before. The next morning he's caffeinated, watchless, and dragging a boot full of imported wine around Adelaide trying to convince buyers to put it on the list. Two people, wildly different battery levels, one very long trade day. Follow along and find out who cracks first. The route is a tour of the city's real wine world. There's a detour to supply wine for a local fashion brand's launch, a debate over how to pronounce barriques, and the obligatory half-hour Riverland sermon that breaks out the second the cameras start rolling. You'll see how wine actually gets sold, bottle by bottle, meeting by meeting, plus a nail-biting stand-off with parking inspectors over a car left too long in a loading zone. Small wins, tired legs, and one very satisfying email that lands before the day is out.

Your Favorite Bartender’s Favorite Bar—Kitsch
The Best Drink Ever recently dropped into Kitsch Bar and found the whole place reborn. What was once a dimly lit hideout has been completely transformed. The new Kitsch Bar isn’t just open—it’s alive. Over the past year, the team stripped everything down to the studs and built it back with purpose. From the reimagined layout to the fresh design details, every corner hums with intention. And right in the center? A one-of-a-kind walk-around bar that feels less like a counter and more like a stage. This isn’t just a facelift. It’s a full-blown reinvention. A New Era of Kitsch The new Kitsch isn’t shy about what it wants to be: a bar that blends craft, chaos, and community in a way only Santa Ana can pull off. Entertainment on weekends? Locked in. Neighborhood crowd? Count on it. Cocktails that demand your attention? Always. Kitsch now hits that rare sweet spot—it’s the place you start your night, the place you end your night, and maybe the place you never leave. Cocktails, Theater,
