video£12.50 French Sparkling Wine vs Champagne? You’ll Be Surprise - Brut Review (Episode 565)
Looking for a budget sparkling wine that rivals Champagne? In this episode of Wine Mastery, we taste a French Brut sparkling wine (2022) made primarily from Chenin Blanc with a touch of Chardonnay — and compare it to well-known Champagne houses. At just £17.50 (or £12.50 when bought in a mixed case), could this be one of the best value sparkling wines in the UK right now? We break down: • Appearance, aroma, and tasting notes • How it compares to Champagne (including well-known brands) • Whether it’s worth the price • Food pairings (including cheese and seafood) • Final score and verdict 💡 Perfect for Christmas, celebrations, or an affordable luxury treat. 🥂 Tasting Notes Include: Delicate bubbles, green apple, floral notes, refreshing acidity, and surprising complexity for the price. 🧀 Food Pairings: Triple cream cheeses (Brie-style), smoked salmon, lemon sole, and buttery fish dishes. ⭐ Score: 89–90 (exceptional value at £12.50) 00:00 Intro – French Sparkling Wine Rev

12x12 Brooklyn Summer Ale
Beers Included: Brooklyn Summer Ale Purchase Date: 3 August 2025 Purchase Price: $16.49 Initial Impressions In the words of Dave Portnoy, "Don't give up on summer!". The beginning of August always brings about the arrival of fall beers. With our hot summer still ongoing and inspired by a text from a friend stocking up on summer beers, I decided to do the same. Brooklyn Summer is one of my uncle Dave's favorite beers. He always stashes some of this and Sam Summer away to save for his annual Open House on Christmas Eve. This is a beer I knew I had several times, but didn't have a great recollection of. I vaguely remembered it as a balanced and easy drinking pale ale. Beer review Best By Date: 31 October 2025 Aroma: Medium low floral hop aroma at first. More sticky malt as it warms which is accentuated by low hop bitterness. Appearance: Gold with brilliant clarity. Moderate foamy white head with good retention and lacing. Flavor: Very similar to aroma: very nice fl

This Napa Valley brand comes from some of the famed vineyards in the region and are made by the world-class winemaking team of Jesse Katz and Hillary Sjolund. Sign of the Dove is led by a father-and-son team behind the brand, Marc and Jake Taub. Their bottlings from Beckstoffer Vineyard Georges III and Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard are some of the best wines from Napa that I have tasted in the past year.

Kinhaven
Here are the electric new releases by Kinhaven. Set in the backdrop of the Blue Mountains, Kinhaven is crafting some really impressive wines. Kasey and Cameron Davenport serve as Kinhaven proprietors and have been in Walla Walla for many years. Kasey and Cameron’s are originally from Northern Michigan. They both had a diverse past to get to Walla Walla. Kasey was formerly a wedding and event planner while Cameron has formerly worked as a chef on yachts, eventually becoming a captain. They were amazed by the richness of the Walla Walla Valley and their family eventually launched Kinhaven several years back. Wines are made by Cameron, who has painted a beautiful story from the warmer 2023 vintage. I was extremely impressed with the overall lineup which comes from mainly the 2023 vintage. Wines are well-structured and powerful with a beginning, middle and end. Check out the outstanding 2024 Kinhaven ‘Walla Walla Valley’ Viognier (OB, 93) which is viscous and dense with terrific flavor and

InvecchiatIGP: Marotti Campi – Lacrima di Morro d’Alba DOC “Rubico” 2004
Esistono bottiglie che non si limitano a essere buone: fanno domande. Il Rubico 2004 di Marotti Campi è una di queste, e la domanda che pone riguarda un vitigno intero — il Lacrima di Morro d'Alba DOC — e il pregiudizio silenzioso che lo accompagna, quello di essere un vino dell'immediato, bello e fragrante ma poco incline a invecchiare con dignità. Per capire come sia possibile che un'etichetta del genere rimetta in discussione questa lettura, vale la pena partire da chi la produce. I Marotti sono a Morro d'Alba dalla metà dell'Ottocento: non una startup del vino naturale, non un progetto di ritorno alla terra, ma una famiglia che conosce questi suoli argillosi da generazioni. Oggi l'azienda conta circa 50 ettari e dalla fine degli anni '90 — con la costruzione della nuova cantina — ha scommesso con decisione sulla qualità degli autoctoni marchigiani, cercando un equilibrio tra identità territoriale e precisione espressiva che non sempre il mercato sa apprezzare subito.

How Craft Brewers Approach Zero-Alcohol Options
Craft brewing has expanded well beyond traditional beer, with a growing number of breweries dedicating production lines to zero-alcohol recipes. For Canadian consumers exploring mindful drinking, understanding how brewers develop flavour without fermentation helps identify better products on the shelf. This guide covers the brewing techniques, ingredient strategies, and quality benchmarks behind today's best non-alcoholic craft beers. How Craft Breweries Develop Zero-Alcohol Beer Recipes Producing a convincing zero-alcohol craft beer requires more than removing ethanol from a finished product. Brewers balance recipe design, equipment selection, and sensory testing to deliver a drinking experience that holds up against traditional options. Retailers like Upside Drinks carry a curated selection of non-alcoholic beer from breweries that invest in these production methods, giving Canadian consumers direct access to the results of this craft evolution.
