The 25 Best Cognacs for 2023
If you’re looking for proof of the “premiumization” trend in alcohol, Cognac offers a fine example. Between 2016 and 2021, dollar sales in the U.S. grew a staggering 64.4 percent, according to data from the Distilled Spirits Council, with the “super premium” price range leading the charge. All things told, sales topped out at close to $3.5 billion in 2021, the most recent year for which the organization has published data. It’s hardly surprising that many would be willing to fork out a little extra per bottle or upgrade to more expensive offerings. The article The 25 Best Cognacs for 2023 appeared first on VinePair .
podcast· 54:22· Ep 509Growing Wine Brands: Digital Strategies and Innovation with Molly Bossardt
I watch social daily. I guess we all have to. Besides the interaction with peers, it keeps you aware of what people are thinking and doing. Once you get past the chaf and get to the honest opinions and outlooks, you get folks like Molly Bossardt. I reached out to her to get a glimpse of what she is thinking and doing in our trade. Have a listen. Molly Bassard proves that you don't have to be born in Napa or Bordeaux to turn the wine world on its digital head. When she launched Bread and Butter in the thick of 2020, Molly saw what many in the wine trade still missed: wineries remain rooted in old soil, even as marketing spins ever faster into the future. By tuning in, you'll quickly learn how Molly peeled back the layers of an industry famous for its dusty traditions and discovered a staggering lack of digital innovation, especially among smaller and mid-sized wineries. She exposes why so many vintners are hesitant—even averse—to marketing, and why most farmers don't realize that great

podcast· 23:02Épisode 85 : Voyage en Bresse : La Glorieuse de Montrevel
Chers amis, La France regorge de manifestations gastronomiques qui font la fierté de celles et ceux qui les organisent et y participent. Parmi elles, les Glorieuses de Bresse ont une place de choix avec un produit d’exception : les volailles de Bresse. Le principe de ce concours est simple : par lot de 1, 2, 3 ou 4 volailles, chaque éleveur doit présenter les plus beaux animaux. Poulets, poulardes, chapons et pintades sont jugés sur des critères pointus et purement esthétiques. En décembre dernier, j’ai eu le plaisir d’assister à Montrevel à l’un des quatre concours organisés. Soit celui qui attire les chefs les plus renommés depuis que la famille Mieral a fait venir un certain Paul Bocuse dans les années. Valery Mieral , aujourd’hui à la tête de l’entreprise qui porte son nom de famille, m’a accueilli à 7h00, de bon matin, au gymnase de Montrevel, pour me permettre de vous faire vivre ce concours de l’intérieur.

videoArgentina vs Australia: Malbec Showdown
Argentina vs Australia: which country makes better Malbec? Today we're blind tasting six Malbecs—three from Argentina, three from Australia—to settle the debate. And we've got a special guest: Aggie from Argentina, a winemaker who's worked in both countries. The Setup: Six Malbecs, blind tasting, ranging from $25 to $175. Three hosts, one from Argentina. Can we tell which wines are from which country? And more importantly—which country wins? Meet Aggie: Argentinian winemaker who's worked in Mendoza, the US, New Zealand, and Australia. "I always wanted to be a winemaker since I was seven. Mendoza, it's all around us." She's made wine in both countries and can actually tell them apart (unlike us). The Challenge: We haven't drunk much Argentinian Malbec. We've drunk plenty of Australian red wine. Can we identify the stylistic differences? And will Australia hold its own against Argentina, the spiritual home of Malbec? What We Found: Australian Malbec: More extracted, bigger, riper, lo
