His perspective offers a glimpse into how South African wine continues to evolve, shaped by varieties that are both rooted in our landscape and full of future potential.

podcast· 25:23416 Påskelam og moderne Rioja
Det er mye som passer til lam, og det er vanskelig å trå feil. Sødmen og det karamelliserte passer fint til vin med en del utvikling eller preg av lagring på fat, som hint av vanilje og krydder. Klassisk reserva eller gran reserva fra Rioja er gode valg til påskelammet, men det har skjedd en stilskifte i Rioja. Endringen skyldes økende nysgjerrighet på Riojas mangfold av terroir – og et ønske om tydeligere regional og individuell identitet. Samtidig begynte forbrukere å gå bort fra tunge, fyldige viner med høy alkohol og etterspørre viner med mer presisjon, høyere friskhet og viner som viser preg av voksested. Produsentene bak den moderne stilendringen har bidratt til omfattende diskusjoner om regelverket i Rioja. Opprøret tvang kontrollorganet, Consejo Regulador , til å revidere regelverket og i 2017 ble nye klassifiseringer innført: Vino de Zona , Vino de Pueblo og Viñedo Singular. Denne klassifiseringen gir større rom for å fremheve opprinnelse, v

382: The Prison That Became a Distillery: Belfast's Most Unlikely Comeback Story with McConnell's Irish Whisky
Why do Irish distillers believe triple distillation creates a smoother, more refined whiskey? What makes a whiskey feel warm and smooth on the palate instead of fiery or harsh? Why does the Belfast origin of ginger ale make it such a natural pairing with McConnell's Irish Whisky? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with John Kelly, CEO of the Belfast Distillery Company, responsible for reviving one of Belfast's most famous brands, McConnell's Irish Whisky. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks . Highlights Why does Irish whiskey traditionally favour triple distillation while Scotch producers rely on double distillation? How do first-fill American bourbon barrels shape the citrus, vanilla, and floral character of McConnell's five-year-old whiskey? Why does the balance between grain and malted barley affect whether a whiskey feels warm and smooth or fiery on the palate? How does a higher malt content contribute to a

podcast· 16:56036 Your Questions Answered: How Hard is it to Stopping Drinking? Can I Reset my Drinking?
In this episode of I Quit Wine , I’m answering some of the biggest questions about quitting alcohol—how hard it really is, what to expect in early sobriety, and whether you can ever “reset” your drinking habits. I’ll also share insights from my own journey, what finally worked for me after years of trying, and why addressing the root causes of alcohol dependence is so important. ✅ Early sobriety is challenging, but it gets easier with the right support and daily practices. ✅ Alcohol cravings aren’t just triggered by stress—happy moments can also lead to urges. ✅ There’s no such thing as “resetting” drinking habits—quitting completely is often necessary. ✅ Long-term sobriety isn’t just about avoiding alcohol; it’s about healing the deeper reasons we drink. 🔹 The Challenge of Early Sobriety The first 30 days can be tough, but they’re also crucial. Around 80-100 days, something shifts, and sobriety starts to feel easier. Daily practices are key—willpower alone won’t keep you sober. How m
