In this episode, Marc is in conversation with Salvatore Santus of the Agricola Punica winery located in the Basso Sulcis region of southwestern Sardinia.

Second Rodeo joins Firefly Park project in Frisco
Rendering of Firefly Park in Frisco (Wilks Development). For the past two years, Second Rodeo Brewing of Fort Worth has been actively exploring options for a second location, with the latest possibility - a least in North Texas - a new development being built in North Frisco.

According to a press release, once completed "Firefly Park will feature 3 million square feet of Class A office space, 400,000 square feet of retail, dining, and entertainment, 1,200 hotel rooms, 230 townhomes, and 1,970 residential units."

videoWine Review: 2025 Chateau Figeac Saint Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classe | En Primeur
▶️Learn more about this wine and past vintages: https://www.wine-searcher.com/find/figeac+st+emilion+grand+cru+bordeaux+france/2025?utm_source=davidallen&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=enprimeur David Allen MW reviews an En Primeur sample of 2025 Chateau Figeac Saint Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classe 2025. Unusually for Saint-Emilion three gravel outcrops feature prominently in the terroir, leading to a high percentage of the Cabernets in the wine. This edition is 38% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Cabernet Franc. David scores the wine 96-97/100. Figeac's eponymous flagship wine (or "grand vin" as is often called) is known for its rich nose, silky texture and elegance, and for its aging potential in better vintages. The estate was rated as Premier Grand Cru Classé (B) in the 1955 Saint-Émilion Classification – a status it retained through every subsequent iteration of the classification until 2022, when it was promoted to Premier Grand Cru Classé (A). The wine is widely consi

Whiskey Review: Barrell Bourbon Cask Finish Series Ice Wine and Batch 036 Bourbon
At Film & Whiskey, we’ve always appreciated Barrell Craft Spirits for their innovative approach to blending and finishing. Today, we’re diving into two of their latest releases: Barrell Bourbon Cask Finish Series Ice Wine and Barrell Bourbon Batch #36 .

Movie Review: A Complete Unknown (2024)
A Complete Unknown chronicles Bob Dylan's journey from his arrival in Greenwich Village to his infamous electric set at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965. Directed by James Mangold and based on Jay Cocks’ screenplay adapted from Dylan Goes Electric, the film’s title suggests a focus on Dylan’s rise to relevance in the burgeoning folk scene, but the second half pivots to the drama surrounding his musical transformation and disastrous set at the 1965 Newport Music Festival. Unfortunately, it results in a movie frustratingly at odds with itself over which of two stories it wants to tell. Its rather inelegant solution is to tell both and hope for the best. The film divides itself neatly into two parts, with a fade-out marking a jump forward of about six months. In that time, Dylan transitions from relative obscurity to international superstardom. The first half is essentially a sweet coming-of-age tale, immersing the viewer in Dylan’s early days in Greenwich V

Our list of best-value Bourbon has readers arriving in droves, all while the main wine news continues to swirl around just how well (or not) the wine industry is doing, globally. Other stories in the last 7 days include a group of wine investors assiduously avoiding 100-point wines, while there is still interest in Bordeaux 2025, not least from the value end of the offerings as well as a piece on how the weather in Bordeaux last year, although endlessly talked-about, isn't really being reflected in the wines.
