Twig & Terroir: Discovering Cantina Zaccagnini's Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Recently I wrote about Poderi dal Nespoli , one of the winer ies that fall s under Argea , the l argest private wine group in Italy . Today I’m highlighting the Cantina Zaccagnini winer y , also a part of Argea , that is located in Italy’s 5th largest region in area, Abruzzo. The virtual tasting I attended online walked through several Zaccagnini wines led by Italian wine expert, Fili ppo Barto letta . Let’s discover more about the Abruzzo wine region , its most produced grape, Montepulciano, and the many expressions that Zaccagnini produces under their Tralcetto line of wines today . The Abruzzo wine region The Abruzzo region is “wild....and one of the greenest regions in Europe ”, as Filippo described . It’s rather small in size with about 1.3 million inhabitants. To give you some perspective, the city of Manhattan, NY is larger in size. That’s because a lot of the terrain of Abruzzo is dominated by mountains, hills and forests,

12x12 Review: Sierra Nevada Summerfest
Beers Included: Sierra Nevada Summerfest Purchased: 6 June 2025 Price: $19.99 Initial Impressions Craft beer drinkers love to lament discontinued beers. Especially beers that have maybe been declining in sales, or aren’t as widely distributed as it used to be. With Summerfest we have a rare example of a brewing bringing back a beloved beer. This is one I would pick up every year. Then there were one or two summers where I didn’t see Summerfest. Eventually it was replaced by a forgettable IPA. Since Summerfest came back, I’m happy to report that it’s easy for me to find in Massachusetts again. Beer Review Summerfest Packaged Date: 4 April 2025 Aroma: Beautiful blend or rich, doughy malt and floral, spicy hops Appearance: Yellow, brilliantly clear. Moderate foamy head that’s a little fizzy and fades. Flavor: A very hop-forward lager. Medium-high floral and spicy hop flavor with a punch of hop bitterness. Both are accentuated by the light body. Malt flavor is low, flavor

podcast· 1h 14m· S6E95The ONE Insane Jail Story I've Never Told, Smuggling a Meth Pipe into Jail, Learning the Jail "Rules" the Hard Way, and is "Rejection Protection?!" A Perspective Shift that Can Change Your LIfe
This is an encore presentation of an episode originally released May, 2024. After today, I will be taking a short break and returning on April 2nd with all new episodes. All Patreon memberships will be paused until we return as well. Thank you! Hey y'all! This is the ONE jail story I have yet to tell anywhere . Literally one of the craziest events of my entire life, and probably the wildest four days of my active addiction. As always though, there is purpose in the madness, and this story is no different. A few episodes ago my guest Kevin said that a "miracle" can just be a shift in perspective. I absolutely love that idea and today you and I are going to discuss the perspective shift that "rejection is protection." Typically when we are rejected for anything, or by someone, we feel it is based on our value - that we aren't "good enough." What if we can shift our belief system to believe that rejection is a good thing, and absolutely unrelated to our value? Let's talk about it! Let me

Please The Palate July 2025 Newsletter
Summer is here and with it comes the 14th anniversary of Please The Palate. I am proud to be celebrating another year of business, especially amidst the challenges the wine industry is facing. And we are all feeling it. In the more than two decades that I have worked in the wine industry, I have seen challenges and changes, but nothing has been like this. It seems like the wine industry is being hit on every side, all at once. Costs are up, consumption is down. There is the threat of tariffs and an anti-alcohol sentiment. I have felt these challenges over the past two years but continue to try to push through with an optimistic attitude.

videoHow wine is made (explained in less than 60 seconds) #wine
Wine isn't magic. It's just basic biology. 🍇🔬 Before the expensive oak barrels, the aging cellars, and the fancy labels, every single bottle of wine on earth is made the exact same way. It all comes down to fermentation: crush the grapes, release the natural sugars, and let the yeast go to work eating that sugar and converting it into alcohol and CO2. Whether it's a $15 bottle or a $4,000 vintage, step one is always the same. The difference in price and taste comes from everything that happens after. What part of the winemaking process do you want us to explain next?
