Second spoonful
On Monday I started my epic quest through the beers of the JD Wetherspoon Spring Beer Festival, which finished at the weekend. Today's set picks up where we were, at Keavan's Port. The taps had turned over a couple of days after I had last been in, and next up was Yard Work , designed, presumably, as a refresher, at 3.6% ABV. There's no lack of complexity, however, and though it looks a pale innocent gold, it's packed with bright sharp lemon hop bitterness, plus a harder waxy kick beneath it. It's remarkably full-bodied for the strength, almost syrupy, and there's a honeyish malt flavour to balance the hops. All told, it's a very good sessioner, not wildly dissimilar to the brewery flagship, Trinity. I don't get to drink a lot of Redemption beers, but it seems like quality at a low strength is something at which they excel. Saltaire is another seldom-seen English brewery round here, and they've brought another golden ale: Elderflower Blonde , slightly stronger at 4% ABV. Th

Scott Lindstrom-Dake, Thumbprint Cellars
Scott Lindstrom-Dake from Thumbprint Cellars joins Dan Berger and Daedalus Howell on California Wine Country. This is Scott’s first time on the show. Thumbprint Cellars is located in the Petaluma Gap. The first tasting is a 2024 Nouveau, primarily made with Grenache with a little bit of Zin, meant to be served chilled. It has a dark pink color and is a refreshing easy-drinking wine. Dan notices that it is very dry but not soft, either. It has the personality of a red but the structure of a white. This wine also got 50% malolactic fermentation which gives it body but not too much. The fruit flavors are coming from the Grenache. This is the result of carbonic maceration is when you put the whole cluster in without crushing, so every berry is whole when they develop their own fermentation. It’s not meant for aging but for enjoying now. California Wine Country is brought to you by Deodora Estate Vineyards.

videoPaso Robles: Wine, Wellness & the Women Who Showed Up | Shall We Wine

Tasting a fairly venerable English sparkling wine from Cornwall on a warm spring day in the woods. Over a decade old, it has spent 8 and a half years aging on the lees, then a few more on the cork. Really enjoyed by time spent in the woodland today, and was treated to a visit from the fox.
