Huet Sec 2024s: Classic, stunning, crystalline
The 2024s from Vouvray’s most famous address are here! It was a tumultuous vintage, but Domaine Huet has drawn on nearly a century of experience to produce three gorgeous Sec Chenins. First up is the original Huet vineyard, Le Haut-Lieu, purchased in 1928. This vintage is pretty and vibrant, showing airy, lemony, apple blossom notes. Cool […] The post Huet Sec 2024s: Classic, stunning, crystalline appeared first on Wine Cellar Plus .

Two out of Eight ain't bad
Eight Degrees was one of the first Irish brewers to adopt the high-turnover mode of brewing, supplementing a safe core range with a regular train of specials, crossing all the beer style boundaries and involving all manner of ingredients and collaborators. That ended when the brewery was sold to a multinational, and never came back in this changed era, even now that the original founders are in charge once more. So I'm pleased today to be covering two new Eight Degrees beers. They describe Dolcita as a "tropical IPA", and I've voiced my concerns before about the t-word being rarely indicative of actual tropical fruit flavours. So it goes with this one, but that's not a problem. In lieu of mangoes and pineapples, this 5.7% ABV hazy IPA has a bright pithy bitterness, pushing mandarin zest and lime rind. There's an almost earthy tang on the finish, where the bittering compounds concentrate together on the palate. Despite the haze and the claim of tropicality, this tastes like an IPA from

A Not Serious Spotlight on Central Otago Pinot Noir
READ TIME: Two generous pours and cheese board (20-25 minutes) THE CENTRAL DOZEN ‘23 When Carolyn Murray from Central Otago Winegrowers Association (COWA) asked if I wanted to receive a box of 12 Pinot Noir wines to taste, it was pretty easy to accept. No sooner had the ‘woosh’ of the departing ‘yes please’ email left my eardrums, I was overcome by two emotions: imposter syndrome and the guilt of potential waste. SERIOUSLY, YOU WANT ME TO DO WHAT NOW? Who am I to validate the efforts of some of our nation’s top producers? After a little meditation on the purpose of Not Serious Wine Chats I decided, actually — this is exactly what Not Serious Wine Chats is all about. I’m a wine drinker, making me as qualified as the next guy to slug a goodly sip and think about how a wine makes me feel. Also COWA had already enlisted the very qualified taste buds connected to the expert cerebral cortex of Emma Jenkins, Master of Wine, to select the Central Dozen, so really — the pressure was off.

St Johns Wine Round Puzzle Cabernet Malbec Merlot 2022
Bold and unapologetically rustic, this Bordeaux-style blend offers power and savoury depth in equal doses. Opening with a rush of drunken plums, ripe blackberries and evocative Black Forest cake, savoury notes of charred wood, barbecue smoke and crushed granite build anticipation. Firm and muscular to taste, the dense fruit is wrapped in a sheet of tense, dusty tannins. Structured rather than plush, layers of black pepper spice and charcoal peer through the mid-palate. Some granite-like minerality adds detail, offering tension and focus that carries through to a dry, gripping finish. Sit this beside a slab of protein and you're winning. It's nicely done. 91/100 Region: Blackwood Valley RRP: $40 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X

Why we sued California over winery distribution laws

A look at 2025 North Texas production numbers
Click to enlarge. This is the annual update of the breakdown of brewery sizes in North Texas, based on 2025 production data as reported to the Brewers Association (BA) and published in the May/June 2026 issue of The New Brewer . Note, not all brewing companies provide their numbers, and some report statistics combining multiple locations. For 2025, roughly 80% of brewing companies active in North Texas are accounted for in the BA's production report. Data also includes production from breweries that closed during the course of 2025. As a result, the number of entities represented in the chart is not equal to the total number of breweries open and operating at any given time. Inside the numbers: Brewery tiers in North Texas, based on production (shown alphabetically): Regional (> 15,000 bbls) Manhattan Project Beer Co. of Dallas. Large (> 10,000 bbls) Martin House Brewing Co. of Fort Worth. Mid-Size (> 5000 bbls) Co
