Discovering Stikky Wine: A Fun Guide to Wine Basics
It was my curiosity about the meaning of the book’s title, Stikky Wine, that led me to accept a copy for review. What did the title mean? Was it a book about sweet wines — stikky being a playful spelling of stickies, the Australian slang for sweet dessert wines? I doubted that. So what is Stikky Wine all about exactly?

January in the Garden
“In winter, wild places feel like being in a hushed house with a sleeper in the next room. A living stillness. It isn’t quite loneliness. More a pronounced absence.” -Jarod K. Anderson, Something in the Woods Loves You The quiet of winter has an immersive feeling; long gone are the expansive vistas of the garden.… The post January in the Garden appeared first on Brooks Wine .

The Space Between: Closing the Year Quietly, Opening the New One Gently
The days after Christmas and before the New Year exist in a strange, tender pocket of time. The rush has passed. The calendar hasn’t flipped yet. There’s less urgency, and more awareness of what we actually want to carry forward. At Wildside Winery , we’re honoring this in-between moment by softening the landing into January — creating space for quiet, reflection, and yes, a little joy. As we close out the year and prepare to step into the new one, we’re beginning January exactly how it feels...

Fuggled Beer of the Year
Ok then, the choices have been made, the runners and riders whittled down to just three beers, a pale, a BOAB, and a dark, and final decision must be taken to crown the 2025 Fuggled Beer of the Year. As in years past, and most certainly in years yet to come, the present awarding of the title comes with little fanfare, and a miserly pot of coin - i.e. no coin whatsoever. It does come, however, with the knowledge that this little part of the internet appreciates your beer and will happily drink more of it in the future. Our finalists then are: Pale: Spoolboy 10° - Selvedge Brewing, Charlottesville, VA BOAB: Altbier - Bierkeller Brewing, Columbia, SC Dark: Aecht Schlenkerla Erle - Heller-Bräu Trum, Bamberg, DE I am sure this comes as no surprise to anyone, but since Spoolboy has been available on tap at Selvedge, it has basically become my go-to beer. Pretty much whenever I walk in, the folks behind the bar know what my, and Mrs V's, first beer of the visit will be, and so fresh pin
videoWhy Paso Robles Zinfandel Deserves More Respect
Lone Madrone Zinfandel Sheep Camp Willow Creek 2020 Link to Wine: https://www.winex.com/lone-madrone-zinfandel-sheep-camp-willow-creek-2020.html Join our Daily Email Offer List: https://cdn.forms-content.sg-form.com/f3da488a-d10b-11ee-94a3-62718bdc6118 Before Paso Robles became famous for high-end Rhône blends and $100+ cult wines, it was Zinfandel country. And some of the best Zinfandel in California still comes from Paso’s West Side. The Lone Madrone Sheep Camp Zinfandel is a perfect example. Grown in the Willow Creek District from bush vines originally planted in the mid-1970s, this vineyard benefits from Paso’s classic climate pattern: hot days for ripeness and the cooling influence of the Templeton Gap at night to preserve balance and freshness. The result is Zinfandel that delivers all the classic character you want without the heavy, jammy style many people associate with the grape. Bright plum, raspberry, and cocoa notes jump from the glass. On the palate, the

Hunter Valley Wine Region
Hunter Valley wineries and alternative varietal wines
videoComparing Sancerre Wine to Neighboring Region of Coteaux du Giennois
David Kohl highlights one of Loire Valley’s lesser-known wine regions : Coteaux du Giennois. As a neighbor to Sancerre, Coteaux du Giennois has been a winemaking destination since the 6th Century but only earned appellation status in 1998. Domaine Poupat run by current family members Philippe, Damien and Xavier has been the cornerstone of Coteaux du Giennois viticulture for almost 400 years., delivering top value Sauvignon Blanc offerings. When comparing Domaine Poupat to a simple cooperative production of Sancerre, Domaine Poupat shines as the more expressive selection with better length. Sancerre pricing is on the rise, Coteaux du Giennois may now be poised to emerge as a more consumer friendly alternative. Both are 100% Sauvignon Blanc with mineral rich soil composition, but Sancerre has a range of pricing that can run twice the cost of Coteaux du Giennois. #winepodcast #loirevalleywine #winelover #winevalues #whitewine #coteauxdugiennois #sauvignonblanc #domainepoupat
videoSuper Tuscan Italian White Wine Blend
While dining at popular Cipollini on Long Island, David Kohl discovered this gem on the wine list : a Super Tuscan white blend produced by renowned Vernaccia estate Terre di Tufi. Super Tuscans are overwhelmingly marketed as red wine blends, but this unique offering features a golden hued blend of Vernaccia / Trebbiano / Chardonnay that delivers a creamy citrus tasting experience. #winepodcast #winelover #supertuscan #terreditufi #longislandfoodie #cipollinimanhasset #whitewine #whitewineblend
videoItalian White Wine Blend from Tuscany’s Coastal Region
David Kohl is passionate about value-based wine selections and today presents a prime example from Italy’s Maremma DOC region situated along the coast of Tuscany. Maremma DOC is largely known for its red wine production, with whites garnering less attention from consumers. But this beautiful blend in the $15 range provides a rich tasting experience with more depth than a simple Pinot Grigio, and also pairs perfectly as a food wine. : 70% Trebbiano Toscana / 20% Vermentino / 10% Sauvignon Blanc #winepodcast #italianwine #italianwines #maremmaitaly #docwines #tuscanyvibes #tuscanyitaly #whitewineblend #whitewine

videoUnique White Wine Grape “Savagnin” from France’s Jura Region
The Jura wine-growing region of France located at the eastern border near Switzerland received appellation status in 1937 and today produces world class selections that do not receive an appropriate amount of attention from the global community of enthusiasts. We highlight an offering from the acclaimed Tissot Family featuring Jura’s signature white wine grape known as Savagnin. A mineral driven tasting experience with notes of almond paste & orchard fruits, this rich varietal is often compared as a cross between Chardonnay & Gewurztraminer. #winepodcast #jurawine #whitewine #savagningrape #winelover
