Why is French wine production projected to fall 17% below its five-year average? Which prestigious French wine regions are taking the hardest hit?

When is the most strategic time to purchase high-quality French vintages?

A Tour of Wine Grapes: Syrah
Syrah 🍷 Photo by Stephan Ridgway on Wikimedia Commons The Syrah ( Sih-RAH ) grape was originally linked to ancient Persia or Egypt. However, DNA testing in 1998 proved that Syrah originated in France. It naturally occurred when two grape varieties from southeastern France, Dureza and Mondeuse Blanche, naturally crossed. Today, Syrah is grown all over the world. Its traditional home remains the northern Rhône Valley in France. It is also grown in Australia, where winemakers call it Shiraz. There, some of the oldest continually producing Syrah vines in the world can be found, with some planted back in 1843. You can also find it growing in large quantities across California, Washington state, South Africa, Chile, and Spain. Wines made from Syrah have aromas of dark fruits and may also include dried herbs, black pepper and licorice. On the palate, wines made from Syrah can have flavors of dark fruits like blackberries, blueberries, and black plums. They can also have notes of black pepper

Two days later, the jar was bubbling. Someone had to taste it. Historian Kathleen Burk tells that story, and many more, in conversation with Suzanne Mustacich. Their route runs from Noah and Dionysus through Canaanite cedar traders, Jamestown's failed vines and the rabbis who suddenly appeared during Prohibition, to Port, Italy's rebellious Super Tuscans and the question of whether alcohol-free wine is wine at all. 🍷 Subscribe to the channel ✨ Like this video to support fine wine storytelling 🌍 Explore more episodes featuring global wine leaders Chapters 00:00 The Essence of Wine 00:53 Kathleen Burk'

Dallas Dhu, Benromach, Glenlochy (G&M CC Heritage)
Gordon & MacPhail is launching the Connoisseurs Choice Heritage Collection , a new way of celebrating George Urquhart. He launched the Connoisseurs Choice range in 1968, providing enthusiasts the opportunity to try whisky from distilleries that were rarely available as single malts. In a way the new Heritage series has a similar approach: when was the last time you tried a new Dallas Dhu or Glenlochy?For this occasion G&M is reviving the old map label which adorned the series between 1988 and 1996. For more information on the evolution of the series, check this WhiskyAuctioneer article.It's remarkable that most of the whiskies on offer today were already bottled as far back as 2021. I assume they are leftovers / reworks of previous bottlings, or simply casks with a very small yield that didn't have a clear destination at that time. Only 100 sets will be available, brought together in a nice wooden case. You can now register your interest to buy volume 1 - other volumes will follow late

Wenzel Distillery Sherry Barrel Finished Bourbon, Batch 2
I’d like to thank Wenzel Distillery and their PR team for providing this sample with no strings attached. As I am an old man, I know a lot of old songs. And as much as it pains me to realize this, the 1980s were 40 years ago. Which is an objectively long time. There was an old song by a band called Cinderella, that was popular when I was a young lad titled Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone). And we are living that in the BourbonGuy household this week. We recently got new neighbors on one side of our house. We live in a tightly packed neighborhood, but what made it lovely were all the trees in everyone’s yards. It made it easy to pretend that our houses were further apart than they really were. Well, this week, the new neighbors to the south took down their three extremely large maples. Which sucked for us since they provided shade and, more importantly, privacy from the neighbors beyond them. It was sad and has us trying to figure out how to replace the effect. But it does provi

video£15 Spanish Red We’d Happily Buy Again | Matsu El Recio (Episode 604)
We’re tasting Matsu El Recio, a Tempranillo from Toro, Spain, recommended by Carl at Majestic Wine's Stevenage branch. John remembers selling this wine years ago, but does it still live up to his memory? In the glass, we find dark fruit, chocolate, a hint of pepper and tannins that give this rich red a refreshing finish. We also settle the question of what to eat with it: steak, Roquefort, or perhaps both. We paid £15 as part of Majestic’s Mix Six offer. Prices may change. Watch to the end for our scores, then tell us: have you tried El Recio, and what would you pair with it?
