Malibu Wine Company
Here are the amazing wines by Dr. Steve Ruths and Malibu Wine Company. Today we share the story of Malibu Wine Company. Psychiatrist Dr. Steve Ruths studied viticulture and enology, completing the UC Davis winemaking certificate program in 2008. 2009 was his first crush as a home winemaker starting with a half-ton of Syrah from the Estelle Vineyard in the Santa Ynez Valley. Since then, he has made wine with Alta Colina Grenache and Roll Ranch Syrah. In 2016, Dr. Ruths purchased a 6-acre property in the Malibu Coast AVA. In 2017, preparing the land for planting began and in 2018 the first vines were planted. Additional plantings continued yearly through 2024 with approximately 6500 vines over 3 acres. Varietals include 3 clones of Syrah, 2 clones of Grenache, Durif/Petite Sirah, Touriga Nacional, Viognier, and Roussanne. Vines are spaced either at 4x6 or 3x5 feet. The vineyard was planted and is farmed by Martin Ramirez of the Ojai Vineyards. 2023 was their first commercial vintag

Has Craft Beer Lost Its Edge? A Look at the State of Craft Beer in 2026
For years, craft beer was the driving force behind innovation in the beverage industry. New breweries seemed to open every month, consumers eagerly chased the latest releases, and beer enthusiasts lined up for limited-edition stouts, hazy IPAs, and barrel-aged creations. But as we move through 2026, many beer drinkers are asking an important question: Has craft beer lost its edge? This topic recently became the focus of a discussion on the Rod J BeerVentures YouTube channel, where we explored whether craft beer is still pushing boundaries or if the industry has entered a period of stagnation. Watch the full video here: Has Craft Beer Lost Its Edge? The Craft Beer Boom Years The craft beer revolution changed the way people thought about beer. Consumers moved beyond mass-produced lagers and began exploring styles from around the world. Breweries embraced experimentation, introducing bold hop profiles, pastry stouts, fruited sours, barrel-aging programs, and countless other innovations.

Beaujolais Nouveau. Simple, fruity, bubblegum aromas. That's unfortunate. Because the wines that made Beaujolais famous among serious collectors have almost nothing in common with Nouveau. In fact, there's a fascinating irony here. The commercial success of Beaujolais Nouveau helped preserve many of the region's greatest vineyards during a difficult period, giving growers the financial stability to keep farming extraordinary old-vine sites that today produce some of France's most compelling values. Without Nouveau, there's a good chance many of these historic vineyards would have disappeared altogether. One of tho

221: JJ McNab - L'Amitié Wines
In this episode I talk with John "JJ" Julius McNab, assistant winemaker at Matthiasson Wines and founder of Lamitié Wines, about his unconventional path from Chicago brokerage and endurance sports into the wine world. JJ traces his move from finance to Santa Barbara hospitality and DTC sales at Brewer-Clifton and the moment he realized he wanted to make his own wine. We dig into his decision to complete the UC Davis Winemaking Certificate, how that "inch deep, mile wide" technical foundation pairs with on-the-job experience, and what he really learned during his first harvest at Kosta Browne in the middle of COVID and wildfire smoke. We then dive into JJ's Chardonnay-focused Lamitié project: why he chose to be known for one thing, his focus on low alcohol, high-acid chemistry, and what he looks for in vineyards like Charles Heintz (clone 4, cool sites, marine influence). JJ explains his press strategy ("the juice isn't always worth the squeeze"), fermenting Chardonnay in puncheons on f
