Vintage port 2024 has been declared, the first in a long time

Confession and confusion
Having made a bit of a fuss over Tallaght's Priory Market, and its built-in brewery, when it opened last summer , I was overdue a revisit. I stopped by on a recent Friday afternoon to find it's all still there and going, though no longer thronged by the crowds from its early days. The good food and fresh beer all still feature, I'm happy to say. The final outstanding beer from Priory Brewing's advertised relaunch line-up is Confession Bock . This proved very much on the dunkel end of the bock spectrum, a specification it meets with its dark garnet colour and 5.8% ABV. I'm ever wary of too much vegetal hop bitterness in bocks in general but this emphasises the caramel malt instead, almost to doppelbock levels, with an extra dose of invigorating coffee roast. The hops are present but restrained, bringing a mild tang of celery and damp lettuce, clearly signalling that authentic noble hops have been deployed. It's almost but not quite sticky, and well-balanced with properly integrated flav

Maison Cardinale: Where Porcelain Meets Terroir
There is a detail about La Maison Cardinale that stays with you. Before there were vines, there was porcelain. The Decoster family spent three decades in the Limoges porcelain industry - masters of craft, precision and the art of presentation, before Dominique and Florence Decoster turned their attention to Saint-Émilion in 2001, acquiring what would become Château Fleur Cardinale. That heritage is not incidental. It runs through everything the estate does, from the way a wine is poured to the way a story is told.

Avennia
Here are the world-class spring wines by Avennia. Today we share the brilliant wines of Avennia — a joint venture between former Microsoft exec Marty Taucher and winemaker Chris Peterson. These wines are incredibly consistent and extremely well-made. They show texture, varietal character and brilliant tension. I have been so impressed with the white wine program and their rose wine that is consistently one of the best you find in the Pacific Northwest. Former DeLille Cellars Winemaker Chris Peterson stands tall at the helm. He is probably best known for his reds, but he has a magnificent touch with his whites. Check out the dazzling 2024 Avennia ‘La Perle’ White Wine (OB, 95) which is quite simply one to purchase by the case.

Whiskey Review: Tullamore DEW Irish Whiskey
Introduction Today, we’re revisiting one of the most iconic names in Irish whiskey: Tullamore D.E.W. Bob kicks things off by clearing up the pronunciation debate. “It’s labeled as Tullamore D-E-W, with little periods in between each letter, but I’ve checked, and it’s pronounced ‘Dew.’ So, Tullamore Dew it is.” This triple-distilled blend combines malt, grain, and pot still whiskey—the three major categories of Irish whiskey. It’s non-age-stated, so we know it’s at least three years old, and it’s proofed down to 80 proof. Brad reflects on his early encounters with Tullamore. “This was recommended to me way back before we started the podcast. I remember liking Jameson, and someone suggested I try Tullamore Dew. It was a couple bucks cheaper at the time, and I’ve been a fan since.” This bottle has always gone head-to-head with Jameson in both price and quality, and today we’ll see if it still h

Whisky Review: Glenmorangie Nectar D'Or Single Malt Scotch
Introduction Today, we’re diving into Glenmorangie Nectar D’Or, a single malt Scotch whisky that has become a touchstone for us over the years. The Nectar D’Or has gone through a few transformations since we first tried it. Back then, it was a 12-year-old expression finished in Sauternes casks, part of a sampler pack that also included the Glenmorangie Original, Lasanta, and Quinta Ruban. When our hosts first tried the sampler pack , it was an incredible deal, offering four 100 ml bottles for $25. We remember liking the Quinta Ruban and Lasanta more than the Nectar D’Or, which felt overpriced compared to its siblings. Now, this 12-year-old version has been replaced by a 16-year-old expression finished in multiple casks. But today, we’re revisiting the original 12-year-old to see if our impressions hold up. Nose Brad: This is one of the best noses we’ve encountered in a while. I’m picking up toasted candied almonds, tons of honey—almost ho
