The whisky comes in a 1-litre format at 46% ABV at a approx price point of Rs. 15,000. Now that's not your average price point, but with only 3,000 bottles released globally in the first run, maki

Joseph A. Magnus Cigar Blend Bourbon Review: The Balance Between Consistency and Scale

Jos. A. Magnus & Co is a brand perhaps most notable for this very release: The Cigar Blend. Named after the man himself, Joseph A. Magnus was a 19th-century distiller and blender in Cincinnati, who founded his whiskey business in the late 1800's and was most notable as a pre-Prohibition blender "ahead of his time." The business was shuttered by Prohibition and remained dormant until 2015, when the great-grandson of Magnus, Jimmy Bedell, ushered in the brand's revival. A short year later,...

Norte Brewing and Food Hall opening in Wilsonville

Cerveceria Norte , a 2023 launched Hispanic beer brand, will open their first brick-and-mortar location in Wilsonville, Oregon as part of a mini food hall in a new apartments and mixed-use development. Norte Brewing launched in 2024 as the brainchild of Zoiglhaus brewer Nick Velasquez and brewmaster Alan Taylor. Norte was always intended to be it’s own thing, an expression of a community and a flavor sensibility quite separate from Zoiglhaus’s German and American beers. The creative direction largely came from Velasquez, who tapped into his Hispanic background to make beers that may fill a growing whole in local craft beer for the Latino community. But ultimately the relationship didn’t work out between Velasquez and Zoiglhaus, so they went back to the community for help and partnered with the Latino Network. “We are working on some stuff to keep it focused on the hispanic heritage behind the brand,” says Zoiglhaus brewmaster/co-owner Alan Taylor. “Getting a taproom and a place where w

Bodegas Binifadet Adding Extra Sparkle To The Glistening Island Of Menorca

Menorcan wines are not at all well known; their sparkling wines are virtually anonymous. It’s not surprising – although wines have been made here for hundreds of years, the Phoenicians, then the Romans and so on, it has, during recent centuries, been only for domestic use. It wasn’t until 2003 that three local growers and…

Dexter Pinot Noir 2024

  This Dexter Pinot Noir is a really cool wine. Actually, it's better than cool. It's brilliant. The more I perused, the more I loved it. As time passed, I drained that bottle with ease. Great fruit, incredible detail and a most respectable pedigree, this is a winner all the way. Silky, seductive and deliciously captivating, you'd be forgiven for not sharing this with anyone. There is a precision and elegance that captivates. Delicate red cherry and strawberry fruit make the first impression before the ripples of savoury delight wash through. Layers of pine needles, mushrooms, dried tea leaves, orange peel, and even the faintest hint of rosemary sprig offer much to ponder, leading to a persistent and perfectly pitched finish. The shape and flow ooze class deluxe. It's quite a seductive Pinot - be warned. 95/100 Region:  Mornington Peninsula RRP:  $65 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to   Qwine here Follow:  Instagram ,  LinkedIn  and 

Dexter Chardonnay 2024

  Bright and fresh with a Chablis-esque disposition, this Dexter Chardonnay is excellent. The wine was matured for 11 months in French oak puncheons (20% new), with 50% undergoing malolactic fermentation. Aromas of white field flowers, lemon juice and old school lemonade get you in the mood with white-fleshed nectarines and a sizzling grapefruit acidity arresting your attention on the palate. With a captivating tension and nougat creaminess, a flirtatious vanilla custard note moves about with ease. The length and balance welcome you back with open arms time and again, yet the energy is uplifting and graceful all at the same time. That length. That shape. What a beauty! 94/100 Region:  Mornington Peninsula RRP:  $55 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to   Qwine here Follow:  Instagram ,  LinkedIn  and  X
