🎧The Secret Life of Prosecco: An Insider’s Look at Farra di Soligo with La Farra Winery
It’s Monday, Let’s raise a glass to the beginning of another week. It’s time to unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and let’s begin Exploring the Wine Glass! We talk a lot about 'place' in wine, but sometimes, the best way to really understand a region is to just drop yourself right into the middle of it—even if you’re doing it in your pajamas from the comfort of your own living room! I recently sat in on a fantastic virtual tasting that transported me straight to the breathtaking vineyards of Farra di Soligo. La Farra Winery provided such a great experience that I didn't want to just summarize it for you; I wanted you to hear it for yourself. So, in this episode, you are actually going to be a 'fly on the wall' listening in to the live virtual tasting. We’re going to be talking about everything that makes authentic Prosecco DOC so special—the history, the family passion, and of course, those incredible steep slopes. I want you to get comfortable, pour yourself a glass—sparkling or other

Past meets present at Ancient Future Beer Dinner, July 15
Image courtesy of Priory. Priory Beer Dinners & Collab Brews has announced plans for its next beer dinner, with the group set to team up this time around with Celestial Beerworks of Dallas. As always, the Priory team collaborated with the brewery beforehand to create a recipe using a unique culinary ingredient not typically seen in modern-day beer. In this case, the ancient grain fonio adds to the foundation for a hazy IPA, meaning there is an old school meets new school kind of coupling at the core of this partnership. Fonio is a type of heritage millet grain grown in West Africa and has been cultivated for over 5,000 years, making it Africa’s oldest cultivated cereal crop. It has a small grain structure similar to quinoa or couscous, but much smaller. What’s truly unique about this grain is that it needs very little water to grow and can be harvested multiple times per year. This makes fonio very versatile and sustainable, especially in arid climates. Fonio is more well kno

Navarra rosé and the enduring magic of Garnacha
Mention rosé and Provence is often the first region that comes to mind. Yet for centuries, Navarra in northern Spain has been producing rosado with a style and identity entirely its own. From historic Garnacha vineyards to the traditional saignée method still used by many producers today, Navarra has played an important role in shaping how premium rosé is understood in Spain. Inspired by a recent webinar with Teresa Guilarte DipWSET, we explore the history, winemaking techniques and grape variety behind one of the country’s most celebrated rosé regions. A region defined by contrasting terroir To understand Navarra rosé, it helps to start with the landscape. Located in northern Spain, Navarra sits at the crossroads of several climatic influences. To the north, the Pyrenees bring cooler temperatures, forests and Atlantic influences. To the south, the Ebro Valley introduces warmer Mediterranean conditions, with sun-drenched landscapes that can feel almost desert-like in places. The result
