videoThis Rioja Wine Sat in Tank for 15 Years… On Purpose...and it's SO Good!
Urbina Rioja Selección 2000 Link to Wine: https://www.winex.com/urbina-rioja-seleccion-00.html Join our Daily Email Offer List: https://cdn.forms-content.sg-form.com/f3da488a-d10b-11ee-94a3-62718bdc6118 Most 25 year old wines come with risk. This one comes with a guarantee of freshness. The Urbina Selección 2000 Rioja is one of the most unique wines we’ve come across, not just because of its age, but because of how it was aged. After spending about a year in a mix of French and American oak, the wine was transferred into large stainless steel tanks and held there for over 15 years before bottling. That changes everything. Instead of evolving in a typical oxidative way, the wine was essentially held in a state of suspended animation. It developed complexity and age, but retained an incredible sense of freshness and fruit. Now, at 25 years old, it delivers the best of both worlds. In the glass, you get bright red cherry fruit, spice, subtle earth, and that c

Pruning Vines – Linganore Winecellars
Want to see exactly how Brandon decides where to cut the vines? Check out our latest video to see the shears in action and learn more about the dedication that goes into every bottle of Linganore wine. Watch the full clip here or continue reading below. As Brandon demonstrates in the video, pruning isn’t just about making the vineyard look tidy. It involves: Selection: Identifying the strongest “canes” (the branches from the previous year) to keep for the new season. Balance: Ensuring the vine has enough buds to produce a harvest, but not so many that the grapes lose their...

Pre–New Year’s Dinner: Why Louis Roederer Collection 245 and Cristal 2016 Redefine Celebration
Some evenings feel like prologues. The eve before New Year’s Eve is one of them, less noise, more contemplation. It’s the space where conversation deepens, and Champagne becomes less of a party trick and more of an essay in liquid form. This year, my pre–New Year’s dinner is guided by the ethos of Louis […] The post Pre–New Year’s Dinner: Why Louis Roederer Collection 245 and Cristal 2016 Redefine Celebration appeared first on Liz Palmer .

Fuggled Virginia Cider of the Year
Turning my attention away from beer for a moment to finish up my booze review of 2025, we come to cider. Specifically, Virginia cider since that is the mainstay of my cider drinking world, and it would be disingenuous of me to have categories for outside of the Commonwealth. Looking back over my notes for the year, I have also decided to cut back on the number of categories from last year. Out go "Flavoured" ciders and "Pommeau/Strong Cider", not because I haven't had any of those categories, but because I have really only had one of each. As nice as they were, and in the case of the Sage Bird Long Light superb, again it feels a little damning with faint praise to give them their own categories. So we have just the two: single varietal blended (including co-ferments) Let's dive in... Single Varietal Malus X Dolgo - Troddenvale, Warm Springs Virginia Hewes Crab - Big Fish Cider, Monterey GoldRush - Buskey Hard Cider, Richmond Honorable mentions: Hazy Lady (Winesap) - Ciders from Mars, S

podcast· 59:39· S9E96E96 - Tenuta Sette Ponti · Tuscany, Italy
In 1935, a viceroy ordered a vineyard planted in the hills between Florence and Arezzo. Not to make wine. To mark a military conquest. Ninety years later, that same vineyard is producing one of the most celebrated Sangiovese in all of Tuscany. This is the story of Tenuta Sette Ponti — an estate that began as a hunting retreat, became a family obsession, and is now home to Oreno, a wine that has gone toe to toe with the great Bordeaux blends of France. Blind. And won. Alberto Moretti Cuseri, third generation of the Moretti Cuseri family and Export Director of the estate, sits down with Pierre Ferland to talk about the Valdarno di Sopra, one of Italy's oldest wine zones, certified fully organic and still largely unknown outside serious wine circles. The conversation covers the Vigna dell'Impero and its 90-year-old vines, the portfolio from Crognolo to Oreno, a pure Merlot called Sette, and a Trebbiano that makes a quiet argument for one of Italy's most underrated white grapes. And at the
