Seeking Amarone: Grace and Beauty of Cesari Amarone Bosan
What do you think of Amarone? I know that some people simply dismiss it as an alcohol bomb, as many Amarone wines nowadays are sporting 16.5% ABV, and winemakers blame climate change. Okay, climate change is not the subject of this post, so let’s quickly rewind before we go too far. Let me repeat the […]

Fort George Brewery celebrates 2026 Vortex Month w/ five Vortex IPA variants
FIVE VORTEX VARIANTS FOR FIVE YEARS OF VORTEX MONTH Fort George Brewery out of Astoria, Oregon has announced their 2026 Vortex Month celebrating their flagship IPA with five special variants and a series of events. More from a press release: Over 19 years of making beer, Fort George has worked on a lot of IPAs. At least a few thousand. But by far the IPA they've worked on the most is their bestselling Vortex IPA . Vortex has been a Northwest favorite for nearly two decades, at the top of the charts from the Fort George taproom in Astoria to the shelves of your local bottle shop. Vortex was one of the first beers brewed on the Fort's 8.5 barrel brewhouse which still stands at the back of their Pub in Astoria, cranking out small batch experimental beers. It’s an ever-changing IPA - evolving in response to the tastes of people looking for a new and innovative beer, while maintaining its distinctive, unifying, familiar flavor across all of its many iterations.

De Lancellotti
Great photo of the De Lancellotti family. For years I have admired the wines by De Lancellotti. This is an outstanding, remarkably consistent house that is producing pretty, beautifully textured Pinot Noir. Paul and Kendall de Lancellotti founded their own winery nearly two decades ago. They chose to plant their own vineyard in 2001 which was 16 acre Chehalem Mountain parcel focusing on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. It was 2005 when this house started, utilizing the winemaking talents of Robert Brittan who serves as consulting winemaker and works with Paul to craft the wines together. The new wines come from the warmer 2024 vintage. They are round, generous and remarkably consistent. I love the 2024 De Lancellotti ‘Estate’ Pinot Noir (OB, 94) which has tons of cellaring potential and comes of pretty, round and generous. Learn more about these great wines at http://www.delancellottifamilyvineyards.com/ Here are the great new wines by de Lancellotti. 2024 De Lancellotti ‘Famiglia’&nbs

3/31/26: Northern Row's Cooper Heller Bock
You didn't really think I'd let March slip away without a bock post, did you? Because there's no way I'd do that. Sure, the bock drought I noted in previous years is still going on (for some reason), but that's not enough to dissuade me from trying at least one new-to-me variant of this spring varietal! After some serious search, I found a single can of Northern Row's Cooper Heller Bock. See that goat-disguised barrel on the label art? Yeah, I think this one'll fit this month's bill just fine. Northern Row Brewery & Distillery lives in a pre-Prohibition stock house within Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. They specialize in traditional-style beers that pay homage to Cincinnati's heritage (meaning they do up a mean German-inspired ale or lager). Head over to their website to find out more about them and their whole distilling deal . Cooper has a spot at the bottom of the brewery's "Seasonals" page . Here, showcased with what I assume is the bock's old label art, it's listed

videoStop forcing yourself to drink heavy red wines
Stop forcing yourself to drink heavy, bitter red wines just because everyone else is obsessed with them. 🛑🍷 If you’ve ever tried a massive Napa Cab and thought it tasted like licking a wet oak barrel, your palate isn't broken. You just prefer a wine that doesn't punch you in the mouth. Instead of heavy, overpowering reds, try a Pinot Noir or a lighter-style wine from Burgundy or the Loire Valley. They are crisp, refreshing, and won't burn your throat. Let’s settle the debate: Are you Team Heavy Cab or Team Light Pinot?

“We’re about as high as you can get in the Sierra Foothills and still grow grapes.” — Derek Delfino El Dorado County in the Sierra Foothills wine country is one of California’s best kept secrets, but it shouldn’t be. When gold was discovered here in the mid 1800s, the Italians who came to the region to strike it rich brought with them their grapevines and winemaking traditions. The folks with Edio Vineyards at Delfino Farms in the Camino district came from this heritage. In homage to patriarch Edio Delfino - who created the family’s fruit orchards, the third generation planted vineyards at what many might think is an impossible elevation - up to 3,000 feet - where wintry snows are not uncommon. Today, you’ll meet brothers Derek and Peter Delfino, who bring their wine growing and winemaking talents as third generation vintners to the family’s endeavor, and along with other family members, created what today is one of the most exciting wineries in El Dorado County. Edio is named for thei

Albariño: the grape & wine
Albariño : the grape & wines Many white wine drinkers reach instinctively for familiar favourites like Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, or Pinot Grigio. There is nothing wrong with any of these well-known varieties but looking further afield there is a world of exciting alternative white wines. None of these alternatives is more refreshing, versatile and food-friendly than Albariño (pronounced phonetically as Alba-reen-yo). If you’re looking to expand your palate and discover a white wine that balances elegance with vibrancy, Albariño may be exactly what you are missing. In my opinion, Albariño, especially from the Rías Baixas DO, is one of the best Spanish (and Portuguese) still white wines today. In this comprehensive guide, I’ll explore everything you need to know about the Albariño grape and its wines — from its origins and flavour profile to food pairings and buying tips—so that you can skip the Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Pinot shelves and find a great bottle of this delicious wine ins
