videoThe Italian wine secret Stanley Tucci missed
If you are watching the new season of Tucci in Italy, you are probably craving a trip to Sicily right now. 🍝🇮🇹 While the show nails the food, it barely scratches the surface of Sicily’s greatest secret: Mount Etna. The harsh, volcanic ash soil creates some of the most exclusive and resilient wines on the planet. The vines here survived the global plague that wiped out the rest of Europe. The result? The Etna Rosso drinks like a multi-hundred-dollar Burgundy, and the Etna Bianco can age for years. What is your go-to wine when you are eating Italian food? Let me know below. 👇 Don't watch the next episode empty-handed. Hit the link in our bio to grab a bottle of Etna Rosso for your watch party. #stanleytucci #searchingforitaly #etnarosso #sicilianwine #italianwine

Of age
It's only Tuesday, so just a modest celebration for this blog's 21st anniversary. I've pulled out a bottle of Insulator , a barrel-aged barley wine released last winter by Lineman. I've had a differently-barrelled version of this before, back in 2021 , and this one is Margaux wine. The ABV remains a decidedly wintery 14.8%. The visuals aren't lovely. It's a muddy red-brown, though has a tight snowy head on top. The aroma makes it very clear that wine is involved, smelling richly of plums and raisins. A warming, fresh-baked cookie waft is present too. The fruity high notes take a backseat in the flavour, which pushes dark warming cake or pudding first, then bitter liquorice and nutmeg spice. After that, the fruit is back: sultana and orange peel, with a little fresher raspberry tartness. Not that this is in any way a summer beer. The booze isn't exactly concealed, and the malt is concentrated and emphasised, exactly as the words "barley wine" imply. It could have done with a bit more cl

Krug ou l’art de réconcilier tous les paradoxes
En Champagne, une grande cuvée n’est pas toujours l’addition de grands vins, mais parfois la conjugaison de vins de caractère que l’on n’apprécierait pas individuellement : voilà le secret de la Maison Krug et sans doute le vrai génie de l’appellation de plus en plus oublié.

videoA Master Sommelier Just Got Completely Humbled by This Wine
“The Wine That Fooled a Master Sommelier” | Pieropan Soave Blind Tasting In this episode of Got Somme Blind Wine Series, Master Sommelier Carlos Santos is put to the test with a blind white wine tasting that sends him across Spain before revealing an iconic Italian classic. From citrus and sea spray notes to debates around Albariño, Viognier and Riesling, this episode captures the chaos, confidence and humility of blind tasting at the highest level. What starts as a confident call for Rías Baixas Albariño ends with a surprise reveal: Pieropan Soave made from Garganega. Carlos breaks down the wine’s structure, aromatics, acidity and texture in real time, giving listeners an inside look at how Master Sommeliers think through a blind tasting grid. Along the way, he explores why certain wines can completely disguise themselves stylistically, and why Garganega continues to be one of Italy’s most underrated white grape varieties. This episode is a must-watch for wine lovers, sommeliers,

videoPortfolio Tasting of Blue Grouse Estate Winery Wines
Blue Grouse Estate Winery is located in the Cowichan Valley of Vancouver Island, BC, Canada. The winery was established by the Duncan Project where the BC Land Commission agreed to fund the testing of over 100 grape varietals on Vancouver Island. The land was purchased by Dr. Hans Klitz in 1989. In addition to reducing the number of grape varietals to be grown at the winery, he also imported vines from France and Germany and started selling wine in 1992 (2nd license issued on Vancouver Island). In 2012, the winery was purchased by Brunner family who added land to the winery and then the winery was purchased in late 2021 by the Jackson Family Estates (2nd and 3rd generation Jackson family members who also own Kendall Jackson)\ The winery has 8.5 acres producing grapes plus another 6.5 acres which was planted in 2017 as well as an additional 20 acres planted in 2020 and 2021. There are plans for an additional 35 acres to be planted in 2023 and 2024. My interest in this winery st
videoA 100 Point Pinot Noir Under $100? That Basically Never Happens.
The Hilt Pinot Noir Radian Vineyard Sta. Rita Hills 2023 Link to the wine: https://www.winex.com/the-hilt-pinot-noir-radian-vineyard-sta-rita-hills-2023.html Join our Daily Email Offer List: https://cdn.forms-content.sg-form.com/f3da488a-d10b-11ee-94a3-62718bdc6118 Pinot Noir almost never gets 100 points. Not because great Pinot Noir doesn’t exist. Because Pinot Noir doesn’t behave like Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s lighter. More delicate. More transparent. And in a scoring system that often rewards sheer power and concentration, Pinot Noir almost always loses a few points somewhere along the way. Which is exactly what makes this wine so remarkable. The 2023 The Hilt Radian Vineyard Pinot Noir didn’t just score highly. It earned a perfect 100-point score from Jonathan Cristaldi, alongside 98 points from James Suckling and 97 points from Wine Advocate. That almost never happens for domestic Pinot Noir. In fact, over the last five vintages, only a tiny handful

**TRIGGER WARNING **todays episode references child abuse, please take care while listening. Today is part two of Jeannine's interview with Matthew Hahn. Matt was a career criminal whose meth addiction and history of residential burglaries earned him three strikes by the age of 18. At 25, Matt was fresh off of parole, and back in his addiction. Returning to his old methods to support his lifestyle, Matt broke into a house and stole a safe - a choice that would change his life forever. What he discovered in that safe would pose a dilemma of choosing to turn in evidence of a crime - when to do so would cost him his freedom for the rest of his life. Part Two picks up where Part One left off, in 2005 after Matt found evidence of a heinous crime inside a safe that he had stolen from a home. Matt ultimately returns to prison and begins leaning into Buddhism as a vital part of his recovery. Connect with Matt on IG HERE Connect with Matt on TikTok HERE DM me on Instagram
