Cuvée 38: l’eleganza del Metodo Classico dove non te lo aspetti
A volte il vino ha il potere di scardinare i nostri pregiudizi geografici. Se pensiamo alle grandi bollicine italiane prodotte con il metodo della rifermentazione in bottiglia, la mente vola subito verso i distretti storici del Trentino o della Franciacorta. Eppure, spostandosi a Mansuè, in quella terra di confine dove il Veneto abbraccia il Friuli, […] L'articolo Cuvée 38: l’eleganza del Metodo Classico dove non te lo aspetti proviene da La Stanza del vino .

Odd Muse Craft & Kitchen debuts in Downtown Plano
Plano Pils and the Okie Smash Burger at Odd Muse Craft & Kitchen (Photos © Brian Brown/Beer in Big D). What better way to celebrate National Beer Day than with the debut of a new craft beer destination in North Texas. Odd Muse Craft & Kitchen is now open at 1001 14th St., Suite 500 in Historic Downtown Plano . The spot is an offshoot of Odd Muse Brewing Co.'s original brewery in Farmers Branch, with the "Craft & Kitchen" naming chosen for a couple of key reasons. For one thing, the Plano locale features a full-service kitchen, upping the culinary game for the company's patrons. Then for another, with no on-site brewing operations, it just made sense to forego the "Brewing Co." tag in creating a clear identity for the satellite location. Of course, the beer being served is all Odd Muse, with the pub's 23 taps (plus a side-pull) sourced from Farmer's Branch. Recipes will rotate just as they do at the brewery, though co-founder Bobby Diaz says to expect Plano to fea

New! Flooded Vine Sparkling Cranberry Wine
We’re excited to introduce our newest release: Flooded Vine Sparkling Cranberry Wine! So, what is Flooded Vine ? Cranberries grow on low-lying vines and are harvested by flooding the bogs which gives them more in common with grapes than you might think. The result? A bright, refreshing sparkling wine that’s unlike anything else we’ve poured. If you’ve enjoyed our cranberry wine during the holidays, this is a completely new experience. The label, designed by Yardley, was inspired by a visit to...

New Tasting Room at Reynolds in Manahawkin - Come Visit!
Article from Breaker Magazine - By Tim Schlitzer In agriculture, you come to realize how vital seeds are—they are the origin of all great things. Seeds initiate the journey that leads to harvest, spreading life from trees and fruits to people. Often overlooked, seeds are the first step in any big idea or breakthrough. Sometimes, we don't even know where that seed originated or how impactful it might become in our lives. In 1988, our winery opened its doors and has since become a cornerstone...

The Work Behind the Wines
You hear us talk a ton about supporting local farms, farmers, and getting fruit from New Jersey. We are the "Garden State" after all! During the Spring of last year, we picked up about 3,000 pounds of Cranberries from Jeff over at Whalen Farms in Shamong. They've been in business for over 40 years, and have over 500 acres of cranberries and blueberries. They even grow for Ocean Spray! We're immensely proud to be able to support local NJ farmers and growers. New Jersey is actually the 3rd...

Review: The Somm Hotel: Fresh New 4.5 Star Hotel in Woodinville
It was a fabulous stay at the brand new Somm Hotel, located in the heart of Woodinville. This hotel has been now open for several months but this was my first chance to do a thorough review. Let’s just say that my visit did not disappoint. The stay left little doubt that this is the best hotel in Woodinville. We checked in and then made our way to our room, located on the 3rd floor. The room faced north and had a little view. I love the motif of the check-in area with bottle punts everywhere as an ingenious light feature. This is exactly the kind of thing that you would like to see in Woodinville Wine Country. The room itself was a spacious corner suite with a pull-out bed that was perfect for our 3 year old. This room would be a great option of you are traveling with one or two kids. The main living room space leads into the bathroom and then the bedroom. I loved the comfort of the bed. I slept like a baby and my wife did as well. The room design makes sense for maximizing space. The

All About our Farmstand Sangrias!
...and what is the Silver Sangria Mug Club? Supporting local wine is supporting local agriculture. After all, all grapes and fruits have to come from somewhere, right? That is precisely why we started our Farmstand series! About once a month (sometimes twice) we work with local growers and vendors to get fresh fruit in, and create a new exciting Sangria to serve straight from the tank. Here's the catch though, we only do it for one day! That means each time we do it, it is a new and exciting...

Shane Finley, Thirty-Seven Wines
Shane Finley, winemaker and Lisa Brayton co-owner of Thirty-Seven Wines join Dan Berger and Daedalus Howell on California Wine Country. This episode of August 10, 2022 featured Lisa along with her husband Al, who is holding down the fort today. This is Shane’s first time on the show. Thirty-Seven Wines is named after the highway. Dan describes the Thirty-Seven Wines vineyard. There are varieties there that don’t grow in warmer areas. One example of that is Albariño. They have cooler days and warmer nights, near San Pablo Bay, across the street from the Sonoma Raceway. It is at a high enough elevation to have a 180-degree view of the bay. On a clear day they can see Coit Tower in San Francisco. The vineyard lies in the Petaluma Gap AVA. They get winds from both the Petaluma Gap and from the south, off the bay. This keeps the temperatures down and controls the acid levels in all the varietals. California Wine Country is brought to you by Deodora Estate Vineyards. Visit Deodora to discove

The decline in wine consumption is no longer a localized concern; it is a global structural shift. In Chile, this trend is particularly visible, as changing consumer behaviour intersects with evolving economic and cultural dynamics.
