2025 Year in review: Craft beer's continued mantra - adapt, adjust...survive
All logos and graphics the property of their respective owners. Image: Brian Brown/Beer in Big D. Another challenging year for the North Texas craft beer industry has come to a close. Yes, there are still headwinds. Yes, breweries are still struggling. Yes, growth is still stagnant (for the fourth year running), but a flat growth curve is better than one in a downward spiral, and North Texas is still holding firm (give or take) in terms of overall brewery numbers. And yes, a lot of these same things were said last year, and the year before that. It's just that the market environment hasn't changed much. If anything, headwinds are stronger ( according to the Brewers Association ), so many of the same messages from past years continue to apply - adapt, adjust...survive. As it applies to brewing operations, adjustments could mean changing up a product line, or even a business model. We've seen instances of both over the past few years, as owners have been putting other beverage types on t

December notes
A trio of Chardonnay to open. 2017 Flame Tree SRS Chardonnay . Mature and golden. Pineapple crunch, medium, starting to unknot. 2020 Vasse Felix Heytsbury . Tighter and more complex. Longer and quieter (and colder) initially. Essence like. Restraint and serious poise. Excellent . 2018 Leeuwin Art Series Chardonnay . 13.5%. Viscous and thick, essence like and powerful. Showy and bold. The nose is expressive, all peach and blossom. Even on day two it’s pretty and still well shaped. By a small fraction, I preferred the Heytsbury. A Pinot. Oakridge Aqueduct Block Henk Vineyard Pinot noir 2023. Yarra Valley . Medium red, bright and primary. Cherry and spice, relatively simple and direct, heavy. My rusty palate incorrectly called this a Tasmanian. For the bird fanciers. Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2009 . 13.5%. Pauillac. A suitcase wine, and the fanciest red bottle of the season. Tasted blind the early money consensus call proved mostly correct

How big is the Indian wine market, really?
And why now is the moment South African producers should pay attention To understand the opportunity in India, we have to start with context — starting with a simple comparison: India vs South Africa . India is the most populous country in the world , with about 1.4 billion people . That’s more than 20× the population of South Africa , which is around 60 million . Yet, despite this enormous scale, wine in India is still emerging, making it a market in motion rather than one that has already...

But some of the most exciting wines are the ones flying under the radar. Château Mangot is one of those estates. Located in Saint-Émilion, with vineyards neighboring top-tier properties, the estate has quietly been elevating its quality for years through biodynamic farming and meticulous vineyard work. And with each vintage, the wines keep getting better. The “District 13” 2020 is a perfect example of that evolution. This is a micro-cuvée sourced from just five and a half acres, with only select parcels making the final blend. Production is extremely limited, and the wine is crafted with an attention to detail rarely seen at this price point. The blend is 40 percent Cabernet Franc, 4

podcast· 41:03· S1E137Beyond Meds: How TMS Is Rewiring Brains And Transforming Lives With Dr. Robert Westerman
Is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) the revolutionary mental health treatment you've been hearing about, or just another fad? Dr. Robert Westerman , a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a seriously powerful backstory from Camelback Integrated Health and Wellness , joins Tim Westbrook to cut through the BS and give it to us straight. In this episode, we ditch the medical jargon and get real about how TMS actually works, using magnets—not electricity like those scary ECT movies!—to fire up neurotransmitters and tackle issues like depression, anxiety, OCD, and PTSD. Dr. Westerman, who's seen it all and treated thousands, breaks down why this could be a game-changer for folks struggling with those "treatment-resistant" conditions, plus spills the tea on the different ways you can access this treatment, making it more flexible and affordable than you might think.

You’ve stopped drinking, but the thoughts are still there. Why? In this episode, we explore what it really means to find mental freedom, not just behavioural change. You’ll learn why thinking about alcohol all the time isn’t a sign something’s wrong with you, but a sign your brain is still working from an old script.

videoEveryday Italian Reds That Don’t Require Aging
In this video, Bob Paulinski Master of Wine discusses affordable red wines from Piedmont, Italy, each coming from near the town of Alba. Included are three wines, all priced between $20 to $30 per bottle. Wines that overdeliver for the money that can be enjoyed without extended aging, along with offering a strong sense of place. Each of the three wines offers a distinctly unique style. There won't be any discussion of ultra-premium, and long-lived Barolo or Barbaresco. That'll be covered in a separate video. To start, the 2024 Mauro Sebaste Dolcetto d'Alba Contessa Rosalia. It's fermented in stainless steel; it doesn't see a toothpick's worth of oak. I picked this up at Total Wine, but it's also sold in some other markets. I paid $19.99 before any discount. 2024 Guido Porro Barbera d'Alba Vigna Santa Caterina, it's a small-scale wine source, and for me, it's one of the best underappreciated properties in all of Piedmont. I picked it up at Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant for $28.00. 20

videoHe Paid $80 for Wine That Tastes Like Dirt
When the "Zero-Zero" natural wine guy meets a normal drinker, things get... funky. From wet hamster cages to $80 bottles of "living" juice, here is the funniest wine debate you'll see all year. 🍷😂 We’ve all met them: the "Natty" wine drinker who insists that a wine smelling like a wet hamster cage is actually "expressing the terroir." In this skit, we go head-to-head with the ultimate natural wine hipster to see what all the fuss (and the $80 price tag) is about. Is it "living," "funky," and "uncompromising," or is it just spoiled juice? Video Topic: A comedy sketch/skit satirizing the natural wine (Pet Nat/Zero Zero) subculture. Key Characters: The "Classic Wine Lover" vs. the "Natty Drinker" (Hipster archetype). Themes: Satire of wine marketing buzzwords like "biodynamic," "no-sulfites," "funk," and "terroir." The Conflict: High-priced "funky" wines that smell like barnyard/hamster cages vs. clean, traditional winemaking. Brand Authority: Big Hammer Wines pokes fun at the trends

videoDS Champagne - Blanc de Blancs 2006 - 1er Cru
Tasted by the Best Sommelier of the World, Andreas Larsson. Bright light golden colour with fine, vivid bubbles. Still a rather youthful aromatic expression where predominantly Chardonnay notes dominate, like ripe citrus, lemongrass, chalk, white peach, crushed almond and some buttery pastry notes. Medium weight yet intense flavours, with a mild creaminess and well-preserved acidity. The dosage is on the lower side and a good sense of restraint in the positive sense, with crisp stone fruit and s
videoDS Champagne - Blanc de Blancs 2010 - 1er Cru
Tasted by the Best Sommelier of the World, Andreas Larsson. Bright light golden, finely distributed bubbles. Fragrant with bright Chardonnay aromas combining approaching maturity with autolytic butter and pastry notes, with white-fleshed fruit, Granny Smith, pear, citrus, chalk and crushed nuts. Vibrant freshness on the palate, good volume but rather sleek texture with low dosage and a good sense of dryness, with layers of pale and darker fruit combined, with slight autolytic development, refres
