podcast· 17:38218. When the Wine Is Calling You
“The wine is calling me.” “It’s got my name on it.” We laugh when we say it. We know it’s not literally true. But what if that language is actually shaping what feels inevitable later? In this episode, we talk about why urges often feel like they come out of nowhere, how expectancy is different from actual desire, and how small shifts in language can change how powerful wine feels in everyday moments and social situations. And if you recognise this pattern in your own life and want help loosening its grip, you can book a free consultation call with me here: https://tidycal.com/90dayslater/consult Here is the link to register for March’s free training ‘The Discipline Trap’: https://90dayslater.co/training

Yelland & Papps Single Vineyard Stone Well Syrah 2025
How often would you see a Syrah and Shiraz from the same producer? Yelland & Papps have excelled and delivered two wonderful expressions once again, but I'm all in on this Syrah. Sexy and lacy, the Barossa isn't all muscle and brawn. Sourced from a Stone Well vineyard, not far from Yelland & Papps HQ, this was made with 48% whole bunches and sees 10 months in seasoned French oak. Medium-bodied, I'm hooked from the get-go. Scents of pan juices, cured meats, oyster sauce and roasted meat - the vibe is ace. An ocean of juicy mulberries and blueberries saturates the palate with licks of berry coulis. It's a wine with an attractive flow and presence, and it certainly turns the perception some have of Barossa Shiraz. Savoury delight swoops with dried herbs, charcoal, black peppers and soft spices riding out a long finish. Give me all those lacy feels and sheets of delight. One large pour just doesn't seem sufficient. Excellent stuff. 95/100 Region: Barossa RRP: $54

videoTHE FUTURE OF TIMORASSO AND ITALIAN WINE
We couldn’t have closed our Grandi Langhe series with anyone other than Walter Massa. 🍷 Producer behind Vigneti Massa and one of the key figures in the revival of Timorasso, Walter looks at the future of this grape with the same direct, passionate and unmistakable voice that has shaped its story. But his answer goes beyond Timorasso: it becomes a reflection on real growers, honest wine and the future of Italian wine itself. A bold and unmistakably Italian way to close our Grandi Langhe journey. Watch the full conversation on YouTube

Yelland & Papps Single Vineyard Greenock Shiraz 2024
From a Greenock vineyard planted in 1988, this Yelland & Papps Single Vineyard Shiraz comes from a site that has been farmed by four generations. The twentieth consecutive release of this wine, it was wild yeast fermented and sees large format French oak for 22 months (22% new). With more muscle and bulk than its Syrah sibling , this is quite a different release from the incredible Single Vineyard Greenock Shiraz 2023 . What caught my attention this time was the increased spice and tension, not to mention the oak that protrudes a touch more than hoped, with cedar and coconut husk featuring large. Softer scents of violets are present, but not as lifted. Mulberries, black cherries and plums build a neat frame and sit at the core with delightful berry tart nuances. Dark chocolate, dark soy and peanuts dipped in chocolate add to the savoury drive. The acid shows life and is still quite energetic, even after a couple of days open. I suspect this will be better with more bot

Perché No(rd)? Dialogo sulla linea invisibile del vino italiano
di Stefano Tesi A dispetto del fatto che il bere vino sia un atto fisico, pressoché quotidiano e, secondo qualcuno, pure politico e che, pertanto, possa apparire sbagliato gravare l’argomento di troppe sovrastrutture intellettuali, non c’è dubbio alcuno sulle sue molteplici implicazioni extraenoiche. Affermazione, anche questa, che rischia però di apparire banale fino a quando non la si affronti con i giusti rudimenti e più larghi orizzonti. È quanto assai bene hanno fatto Fabio Pracchia e Giorgio Fogliani mettendo in parallelo le vicende latamente identitarie di territori enoicamente così diversi e al tempo stesso così simili come il Gallo Nero e il Carso in occasione della quarta edizione di “Perché Nord!”, l’appuntamento annuale organizzato a Villa Le Corti dei principi Corsini dall’Associazione San Casciano Classico, che riunisce i produttori dell’UGA San Casciano, appunto la più settentrionale della denominazione: “Non un momento di confronto tra i rispettivi vini, ma uno spazio d
