Blue Flag now flying over familiar Fort Worth spot
Single malt in the bottle, Blue Flag Pale Ale in the glass (Photos © Brian Brown/Beer in Big D). A new beverage alcohol business called Blue Flag Distillery has taken over a long-time familiar spot in the Near Southside neighborhood of Fort Worth. Led by Will Rucker and Nate Swan, Blue Flag replaces Rahr & Sons Brewing Co. at 701 Galveston Ave., with the brewery's former taproom transformed into a special event space known as The Vault. Blue Flag has been hosting private events there for a few weeks, but a Saturday soft opening was the first time The Vault's doors were open to the public. Incidentally, Rucker comes from an oil and gas background, while Swan spent many years as a cellarman and brewer at Rahr & Sons, which for him means this new venture makes for a full-circle moment. So, what's the "blue flag" all about? It's drawn from a tradition built around neighborhood gatherings. Symbolic of an open invitation, if a blue flag was being flown outside of someone's hous

videoSaale-Unstrut Wine Region Explained: Villages, Vineyards and Google Earth Tour
In this video, I continue my Mastering Germany series with a detailed look at Saale-Unstrut, one of Germany’s most fascinating and distinctive wine regions. Join the Wine with Jimmy Club here: https://e-learningwine.winewithjimmy.com/program/wwj-club I explore the villages, vineyards, rivers and landscapes that shape this small but important region, including Vitzenburg, Karsdorf, Freyburg, Goseck, Naumburg and Kaatschen. Using Google Earth, I look at how the Saale and Unstrut rivers influence the vineyard locations, and why the central Schloss Neuenburg area is so important to the identity of the region. Along the way, I cover key vineyard sites such as Schlossberg, Hohe Gräte, Edelacker, Dechantenberg, Steinmeister and Dachsberg, as well as important grape varieties including Silvaner, Riesling, Weissburgunder, Grauburgunder, Spätburgunder and Frühburgunder.

The Paring Red Wine Blend 2021 Link to the wine: https://www.winex.com/the-paring-red-wine-blend-2021.html Join our Daily Email Offer List: https://cdn.forms-content.sg-form.com/f3da488a-d10b-11ee-94a3-62718bdc6118 The 2021 Pairing Red Wine is crafted by Matt Dees, one of the most respected winemakers in California and the talent behind the legendary wines of Jonata in Ballard Canyon. That’s important. Because Jonata is not just another winery. We’re talking about one of the elite properties in the Central Coast, producing wines that routinely score in the high 90s and sell for serious money. And somehow, this exists alongside it. The idea behind Pairing is deceptively simple. Take the same obsessive farming, the same elite barrel selections, the same blending expertise, and funnel it into a wine designed to massively overdeliver for the price. And it absolutely does. The blend is classic luxury California Bordeaux-style red: 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10%

podcast· 17:38218. When the Wine Is Calling You
“The wine is calling me.” “It’s got my name on it.” We laugh when we say it. We know it’s not literally true. But what if that language is actually shaping what feels inevitable later? In this episode, we talk about why urges often feel like they come out of nowhere, how expectancy is different from actual desire, and how small shifts in language can change how powerful wine feels in everyday moments and social situations. And if you recognise this pattern in your own life and want help loosening its grip, you can book a free consultation call with me here: https://tidycal.com/90dayslater/consult Here is the link to register for March’s free training ‘The Discipline Trap’: https://90dayslater.co/training

Phylloxera – still a threat in the vineyard
Phylloxera is still a threat, mainly to those vineyards that have chosen not to plant grafted vines but instead graft own-rooted vines. But it turns out that even grafted vines can be at risk. The small aphid-like insect ravaged vineyards across Europe, starting in France in the 1860s. It came from America, and the solution […] Continue reading: Phylloxera – still a threat in the vineyard The post Phylloxera – still a threat in the vineyard was originally published on BKWine Magazine and written by Britt Karlsson .

podcast· 1h 20m· S1E163How The Human Voice Can Heal Yourself
In this powerful episode of I Love Being Sober, Tim Westbrook sits down with award-winning singer/songwriter, vocal coach, and woman in recovery Shylah Ray Sunshine for an honest conversation about sobriety, childhood trauma, motherhood, and the healing power of the human voice. Raised by parents struggling with alcoholism, Shylah shares how early exposure to addiction shaped her life — and how finding 12-step recovery helped her break generational patterns and begin deep emotional healing.
