This edition is 90% Merlot with 10% Cabernet Franc (not 80% as stated in the video). David scores the wine 95-96/100. Having sold his previous estate Château de Sours to Alibaba founder Jack Ma in 2016, Englishman Martin Krajewski purchased Séraphine. He immediately set about rebuilding the cellars and the house, before turning his attention to the vineyards. About 75 percent of the 2.2-hectare (5.4-acre) vineyard was pulled out and replanted. Krajewski also founded Songlines Estates in Australia, working with John Duval on the project from 2002 to 2012. He is a founding partner of Aristea Wines in South Africa, Clos Cantenac in Saint-Émilion, and the Oslo Distillery in Norway. Martin's daug

American Single Malt Whiskey Is Official: Here Are 4 You Need to Try Now
In January 2025, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) formally recognized American Single Malt Whiskey (ASM) as its own category. This landmark decision gives the growing segment of American single malt producers a standardized identity, akin to the globally renowned Scotch Single Malt category. For a whiskey to qualify as an American Single Malt, it must be: Mashed, distilled, and aged entirely in the U.S. Made from 100% malted barley. Distilled at a single U.S. distillery to a proof of no more than 160. Stored in oak barrels (up to 700 liters) with no restriction on new or used barrels. Bottled at a minimum of 80 proof. These regulations ensure quality and transparency while fostering creativity. Now, let’s celebrate this milestone by highlighting some of our favorite American Single Malts, each showcasing the potential of this newly recognized category. Old Line Madeira Finish American Single Malt Rating: 45/50 Age & Proof: Aged 5 years, then finished for 1.5

American Single Malt Whiskey Earns Official Recognition from TTB
In a landmark decision, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) has officially ratified the American Single Malt Whiskey (ASM) category. This announcement, effective January 19, 2025, follows years of advocacy by distillers, industry organizations, and the American Single Malt Whiskey Commission (ASMWC). For decades, American Single Malt Whiskey existed without formal recognition, unlike its globally recognized counterparts, such as Scotch Single Malt. Defining the Category Under the new regulations, American Single Malt Whiskey must adhere to the following standards of identity: Production : Mashing, distilling, and aging must occur entirely in the United States. Ingredients : It must be distilled from a fermented mash of 100% malted barley. Process : The whiskey must be distilled at a single U.S. distillery to a proof of no more than 160.

Whiskey Review: Stranahan's Snowflake
Introduction Today, we’re diving into one of the most sought-after and elusive American single malts out there: Stranahan’s Snowflake . Released once a year in December, this whiskey is named after one of Colorado’s 14,000-foot mountain peaks, with the 2023 edition called Pyramid’s Peak . What makes this release so special is its unique finishing process—every year features a blend of different casks, and for Pyramid’s Peak, the whiskey has been aged for 8 years and finished in a variety of barrels: Carcavelos, Sauternes, brandy, peated Scotch, rum, and applejack . This whiskey is a blend of bold experimentation and high-altitude craftsmanship. At $ 120 MSRP and with only 2,000 bottles released annually, Snowflake is a collector's dream. But does it live up to the hype? Let’s break it down whiskey by whiskey. This review is taken from our episode " The Holdovers / Stranahan's Snowflake ."

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,

Designed as a smooth, approachable whiskey, Longbranch promises a blend of traditional Wild Turkey craftsmanship with a touch of Hollywood panache. But does it live up to the hype?

Tribute Hollywood: Old School Vibes, New School Drinks
Hollywood is a circus—bright lights, tour buses, costumed hustlers hustling harder than ever. Tourists shuffle from one star on the Walk of Fame to the next, clinging to false hopes of catching a glimpse of a celebrity. But among all that noise, there’s one bar that doesn’t cater to the madness. It belongs to the locals. Tribute Hollywood . This place doesn’t pander, it remembers. The bones are heavy with history. The Silent Film Era flickered here. Later, Shelly’s Manne-Hole turned the space into a jazz sanctuary. Then Studio 3, where some of the greatest musicians of the 20th century laid down tracks that still live in your headphones. You feel it the moment you step in—the hum under your feet, the ghosts in the air. When The Best Drink Ever stopped in , we weren’t just here for a cocktail—we came to drink the story. And to do it right, we teamed up with 1921 Tequila Cream and Maria Bonita Mezcal , giving Raul Pool free rein to do what he does best: turn history into flavor. T

Sparkling Springtime with Italy’s Finest Sparkling Wines
We are well into springtime and our Italian Food, Wine, and Travel group (#ItalianFWT) will be taking you this week on a journey through a number of Italian regions and the variety of sparkling wines produced throughout Italy. Our writers will be featuring several sparkling wines from a variety of producers and some will even include some food pairings to goes with their bubbly. The types of sparkling wines in Italy There is no doubt that when one talks about the sparkling wines of Italy that Prosecco is probably one of the first wines that come to mind, but that is such a limited scope into what is available. Especially since there are a number of appellations producing different types of Prosecco from some high quality like Asolo and Valdobbiadene Conegliano to name a couple.

videoThis $135 Michelin-Starred Tasting Menu Sells Out in 2 Seconds | Food & Wine
How does a seafood counter in a Los Angeles food court become the city’s only Michelin-starred Mexican restaurant? At Holbox, Chef-Owner Gilbert Cetina has built one of America’s most sought-after dining experiences, where a $135 tasting menu draws hundreds of people to the waitlist every day. Follow Gilbert through the making of both the lunch menu and tasting menu as he shares the four principles behind every Holbox dish. From his signature live sea urchin and scallop ceviche to the tostadas that achieve their signature chicharrón-like crackle through a meticulous dehydration process, every plate reflects years of refinement and lessons passed down from his father. Once told that Mexican food wasn’t an appropriate use for luxury seafood, Gilbert transformed a humble food-court counter into one of the most acclaimed restaurants in the country.
