videoKir-Yianni Interview: Xinomavro, Assyrtiko and Northern Greece
Join us for the tasting: Iconic Greece – An Evening with Kir-Yianni and Domaine Sigalas at West London Wine School Wednesday 3rd June 2026, 7:00pm, The Wine Cellars, Fulham Book here: https://www.localwineschool.com/west-london/Kiryianni-domainsigalas/ In this interview, Jimmy speaks with Stellios Boutaris of Kir-Yianni, one of the most important names in modern Greek wine. Together they explore the wines, vineyards and terroirs of northern Greece, including Naoussa, Amyndeon, Mount Vermio and the wider Macedonia region, with a particular focus on two of Greece’s most exciting grape varieties: Xinomavro and Assyrtiko. Kir-Yianni, founded by Yiannis Boutaris and now led by Stellios Boutaris, has become a benchmark producer for Xinomavro, Greece’s noble red grape variety. In this conversation, we look at why Xinomavro is often compared to Nebbiolo, how it expresses itself differently in Naoussa and Amyndeon, and how Kir-Yianni manages its natural acidity, tannin and savoury red-fru

podcast· 1h 21m· S6E97Meth, Mayhem, and Motherhood: Rio’s Reckoning With Recovery
This week’s episode follows Rio, a woman whose story moves from chaos to clarity with raw honesty and hard-won hope. Rio began using meth in high school, a path that quickly pulled her out of her parents’ home and into the control of an older woman who groomed her and introduced her to a traumatic, dangerous lifestyle. After graduating from an alternative school, Rio became a young mom, but addiction tightened its grip. She walked away from her baby and his father in pursuit of drugs, parties, and a life that only grew more volatile. What followed were years of chaos, including involvement with a motorcycle club and people who kept pushing her further into risk and destruction. Eventually Rio entered treatment, relapsed once more, and then made the decision that changed everything, choosing sobriety for real. Today, she’s married, has regained custody of her son, is working on her degree at UCSD, and is driven by a powerful goal: to one day work with women in prison and help them find
videoIs This $350 Australian Shiraz Actually Worth It?
Six Australian wines. All sold as icons. One $350 cult bottle at the end, and a white that none of us saw coming. Different Drop sent over a lineup billed as "Aussie icons" — and what arrived wasn't the Australia most of the world drinks. No cooked-fruit Shiraz clichés, no predictable Cabernet. Instead, a tasting that had us second-guessing varieties, regions, and whether one of the wines was even in the glass. Brendan (winemaker), Henry (everyman), and Noah (wine pro) work through three whites and three reds blind — calling region, variety, price, and how many bottles they'd actually take home. There's a Clare Valley wine so pale Henry wasn't sure it existed. A Yarra Valley bottle that split the panel hard. A Pinot that Brendan loved and Henry couldn't get past. And a $350 finale that forces a question worth asking: at that price, is anything actually worth it? If you think you know Australian wine, this lineup will probably argue otherwise. 🍷 Wines supplied by Different Drop 🎙

A Tour of Wine Grapes: Dolcetto
Dolcetto 🍷 Image from Luca Monchiero on Wikimedia Commons Dolcetto ( dol-chet-to ) is a black wine grape variety almost exclusively grown in the Piedmont region of northwest Italy. While its name translates to "little sweet one" the wines produced from this grape are anything but sweet and actually can have some tartness. Historically, winemakers called Dolcetto their " cash flow " grape. Because it ripens so early and is meant to be drunk young, farmers could sell it to pay their bills while their Nebbiolo and Barbera wines were still aging in the cellar for years. Surprisingly, the oldest surviving Dolcetto vines in the world aren't in Italy—they are in Australia, with some plantations dating back to the 1860s. Dolcetto wines are usually medium to medium-full bodied, with low acidity and higher in tannin. Aromas include red and black fruits such as black cheery, plum and blackberry. Floral notes include violets and lavender. Flavors include black cherry, blackberry, plum and licoric

Brew Day: North Shore Brewers 2025 Q2 Kellerbier
For Big Brew Day 2025 I did something a little different, went on Facebook Live during my brew day. I wanted to see what kind of engagement it would get and to see if it helped the page get any visibility. Video is not my strength, and I do not have the patience for video editing. Since Meta started deleting Facebook Live videos after 30 days, I uploaded the video to YouTube which made it easy to embed here. I shoot from the hip here talking about the recipe and process for this beer, and my system in general.

podcast· 16:48Is God Calling You To Sobriety?
Sobriety is your birthright. God didn't create you to alter yourself. The only alteration required is remembering who you are, both holy human and divine. It's the right of passage most Women never received, and in fact, alcohol has limited the privilege in our lives of being able to know God deeply. The reasons Women drink are the same reasons we stay separate from God: fear of receiving and the need to always prove our worth.
