video€5 Million Wine Heist Hits Antiori Cellars in Cortona | The Week in Wine Podcast
Don buys a case of Teluri Saperavi off the back of a bottle enjoyed over the weekend while Olly lauds a delicious bottle of Les Cocalières blanc from Montpeyroux's Domaine d'Aupilhac (although Don does question the sanctity of Vermentino as a great white grape variety). There's also a discussion as to whether you can really turn around on your appreciation of the likes of reductive Chardonnay. The big news (late) last week was the €5 million heist of Solaia, Guado al Tasso and Tignanello from the Antiori cellars in Cortona. As we discuss, this is almost the identical modus operandi of two previous thefts (from the Conterno Fantino winery in Monforte d'Alba in Barolo, as covered last month, and another break-in at the Banfi winery in Strevi back in June. But our top headline last week was the World's Best Sauvignon Blancs which, alongside a few familiar names (think Dagueneau and Château Margaux's Pavillon Blanc), saw Austria place across half of the list.

The Whisky Agency: 4x Port casks
We may have missed some kind of outlet sale at a Portuguese cooperage recently. The 2025 outturn from The Whisky Agency already included a series of Port casks, and the Spring 2026 batch also has a surprising proportion of these casks. A lot of them are made for friends, as they say on the label.All of the whiskies have this typical rosehip tea colour. It's clear they are very cask-forward, and by now you know Port casks aren't our favourite. So if you are a fan of this style, I guess you can safely add a couple of points to each score.
