videoWhy Great Wines Taste Harsh When Young
A wine that feels sharp or austere in its youth isn't necessarily a flaw. For great wines like Côte-Rôtie, that structure and acidity are often exactly what allow them to improve for years, even decades. Watch the full tasting to discover what makes a wine worthy of the title Grand Vin. 🍷

Lyons Will Chardonnay 2025
Considered, layered and detailed, it's an easy task to top up your glass when this Lyons Will Chardonnay is within reach. Careful fruit selection is 70% destemmed, crushed and pressed with the remaining 30% whole bunch pressed. Wild yeast fermentation takes place in barrel (15% new), where it sits for nine months on lees going through 100% malolactic fermentation. Lyons Will wines are never short on interest. This opens with notes of flint and gun smoke, white fleshed stonefruit, custard powder, tonic, pineapple husk and old school lemonade. That detail flows seamlessly to the palate where it is framed by a delightful creaminess - vanilla slice and Greek yoghurt lead the way. A wine that is well structured and flows with seductive ease, a dash of ruby grapefuit adds to the charming acidity, urging you to return for more. Simply, it's a beautiful drink. 93/100 Region: Macedon Ranges RRP: $54 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow:&nbs
videoJuly 2026 Update and Wine Recommendations at B.C. Liquor Stores
Thank you all for continuing to view my channel. I am now offering membership to my channel. This is mostly because I believe that all wine review 3 years and older are basically no longer valid. So although the historical information about the winery is still relevant, the tasting notes are not and they may have been significant changes at the winery. As such, I have decided to archive all videos that are older than 3 years and make them available exclusively for members. Members will also get a sneak preview of upcoming videos and because I want to make sure my members feel they are getting something for their money, I will try to produce a members only short or video at least every 2 months. Don't want to hard sell this and I will still be making videos for non members but there are some topics that I might cover for a smaller audience. Shoutout to my first 5 members: JohnWelseyHarding, opelbogger, MykolaMaystrov, joshuaharton5219 and archeryyates6619 As my viewers and

Kilikanoon Killerman's Run GSM 2024
The rustic appeal of this Clare Valley GSM makes it an easy go-to for casual catch-ups and barbecues. Throw it at a cheeseburger and you're set. Expressive and glorious aromas of raspberry coulis, squishy blueberries, mulberries, red apples flow with ease to the flavour profile. Dusty earth, dark chocolate and even a touch of new leather add detail. Barbecue rub spices and fruit bun spices lead to a drying finish highlighted by open weave tannins. But there is no denying its food friendliness and moreishness. Good stuff. 91/100 Region: Clare Valley RRP: $25 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X

Travellers Chardonnay 2023
A well-balanced and structured Chardonnay, it delivers freshness and good fruit with immediate appeal. Sourced from two Granite Belt sites (Sirromet and Ballandean Estate), it opens with scents of custard apple and golden apple. Honey tones slide in with time in the glass. Although quite broad through the mouth, the fruit offers respectable vibrance. The touch of minerality speaks of its granite roots with a veil of slippery phenolics. Soft cinnamon spices curl around the palate on close with a bright lemony and grapefruit acidity. It's nicely done. 91/100 Region: Granite Belt RRP: $35 Source: Sample Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X

podcast· 41:49· S1E159Let Go Of Alcohol And Avoid Breast Cancer
In this episode of I Love Being Sober, Tim Westbrook sits down with Kathryn Elliott, alcohol mindset coach, speaker, and founder of The Alcohol Mindset Coach , to share how she discovered a scientifically proven yet rarely discussed link between alcohol and increased breast cancer risk. Together, they discuss what the research actually says about "moderate" drinking, how alcohol affects hormones, inflammation, and sleep, and why you do not need a diagnosis or a rock bottom moment to reconsider alcohol's role in your life. Kathryn also explores how to approach these conversations without fear, shame, or self-blame, and how clarity, confidence, and well-being often improve when we choose ourselves first.

Rethinking Lambrusco: A Metodo Classico Surprise from Cantina della Volta
Despite Lambrusco’s reputation as a sweet, fizzy industrial wine, I’ve had enough good examples over the years to know the category deserves a second look. One of my longtime favorites, the Paltrinieri Lambrusco di Sorbara Radice, showed me just how compelling dry Lambrusco can be at the table. So when the opportunity came to participate... Read More
podcast· 13:53214: The What-If Spiral
The what-if spiral is completely normal. Our brains are wired with a negative confirmation bias, meaning they automatically scan for what could go wrong, especially when you’re changing a habit like drinking. What if I can’t figure this out. What if I don’t change. What if this is just how I am. In this episode, I explain why these thoughts feel so convincing, why they’re not happening in the present moment, and how letting future-based fears run today’s decisions is what keeps people stuck. You’ll also hear the core shift that actually breaks the spiral. We don’t wait to feel confident or calm to take action. We take action regardless of emotion. I’ll show you how to stop letting what-if thoughts decide your evenings and your social life, and how small, intentional actions dissolve fear faster than overthinking ever could. If you’re ready to step out of the spiral and into real momentum, press play. Before you listen, I want to invite you to a free training I’m hosting on 19 February

InvecchiatIGP: Tiziano Mazzoni - Ghemme dei Mazzoni DOCG 2010
di Roberto Giuliani Il nebbiolo in Alto Piemonte - qui siamo a Cavaglio d’Agogna nelle Colline Novaresi – parla un linguaggio proprio, dove l’eleganza regna sovrana. Tiziano Mazzoni proviene da una famiglia che in questo Comune risiede da ben sette secoli, ma solo alla fine degli anni ’90 ha intrapreso la strada di produrre vino in proprio. Chi lo conosce sa che è persona schiva ma, una volta entrati in amicizia, diventa molto disponibile, capace di scherzare e stare in compagnia, il suo sguardo rivela un animo umile e profondo. I suoi vini, a mio avviso, lo rispecchiano perfettamente, compreso questo Ghemme 2010, dai profumi davvero affascinanti, di fiori essiccati, tabacco, prugna, leggero cuoio, sottobosco ma senza arrivare ai funghi, agli accenti più evoluti, mantiene un’aria fresca e in continua progressione man mano che si ossigena. Dopo meno di un minuto arrivano le erbe aromatiche, sfumature di china e liquirizia. Il sorso è incredibilmente cremoso, il tannino puro vellut

San Juan Vineyard
Great new 2025 Rose by San Juan Vineyard. For a long time I recall fondly visiting San Juan Vineyard, one of the historic locations in the Puget Sound AVA. At this site they have old vine Siegerrebe and Madeleine Angevine planted that are really serious wines. Having tasted there before, you are greeted at their 1895 remodeled school house and stunning estate-grown wines. It is a must-visit spot if going to San Juan Island. This house is now owned by the Corliss family. I really enjoyed the 2024 San Juan Vineyard Madeline Angevine (OB, 92) which has loads of texture and freshness.
