videoSouth African Wine Considered a First Growth and Compared to DRC
Description Written by Chat GPT Crystallum Peter Max Pinot Noir 2024 – Walker Bay, South Africa The 2024 Peter Max Pinot Noir stands as one of the most assured and complete expressions yet from Crystallum, the family-run, privately owned winery that has become a benchmark for Burgundian varieties in South Africa’s Walker Bay. Crafted by brothers Andrew and Peter-Allan Finlayson—third-generation winemakers and sons of the pioneer of Pinot Noir in Hemel-en-Aarde—this wine carries both lineage and intent in every detail. Sourced from a selection of multi-vineyard sites, Peter Max is named in tribute to the two growers who supplied the fruit for the inaugural vintage, a nod to collaboration and terroir that remains central to the wine’s identity. The result is a Pinot Noir of striking poise and depth, balancing clarity of fruit with an unmistakable sense of place. The nose is finely etched and complex, opening with red cherry, wild strawberry, and cranberry, layered with rose petal, or
videoOne of the Greatest Chianti Classico Wines You’ve Probably Never Had
Rocca di Montegrossi Chianti Classico Gran Selezione San Marcellino 2020 Link to Wine:https://www.winex.com/rocca-di-montegrossi-chianti-classico-gran-selezione-san-marcellino-2020.html Join our Daily Email Offer List: https://cdn.forms-content.sg-form.com/f3da488a-d10b-11ee-94a3-62718bdc6118 How do you follow up the highest scoring Chianti Classico in Wine Spectator history? With another stunning vintage. The Rocca di Montegrossi San Marcellino Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2020 comes on the heels of the legendary 2019 release, a wine that scored 97 points and set a new benchmark for the category. And now the 2020 is delivering in a big way. Antonio Galloni awarded the wine 96 points after a vertical tasting, confirming what insiders already knew. This is not just a great Chianti Classico. It is one of the most serious Sangiovese wines being produced in Tuscany today. San Marcellino is a single vineyard wine, composed of 88 percent Sangiovese and 12 percent Pugnitello, a rar
videoThe Recipe for Good Riesling with Peter Weis
Making great Riesling isn’t complicated… but it’s all about getting the basics right. In this clip, Peter Weis breaks down his simple approach to Riesling winemaking — from gentle pressing to why he leaves the wine on gross lees for months after fermentation. It’s a reminder that sometimes the best wines come from doing less, not more. Watch the full interview for a deeper dive into Riesling, winemaking philosophy, and Peter’s journey from the Mosel to New York. #Riesling #Winemaking #WineEducation #WineWithJimmy #PeterWeis #Mosel #WineShorts

podcast· 1h 18m· S6E65Heartbreaking and Shocking Tragedy on New Years Eve Leads to Life Changing Sobriety and Path for Carrie
**trigger warning: suicide Note from Jeannine: this is going to be one of y'alls favorite episodes of all time. I was blown away by Carrie's vulnerability and resilience. She also shared one of the most profound meditation and prayer practices that I have ever heard - I started it this week, actually. Please let me know your thoughts! On New Year’s Eve, Carrie's life shattered with the sound of a gunshot—her husband took his own life in the next room. What followed could’ve destroyed her, but instead, it became the moment she chose to live. In this raw and powerful episode, she shares how that night marked the beginning of her sobriety—and how she rebuilt her life from the wreckage. This is a story of unimaginable loss, but also of resilience, radical honesty, and spiritual awakening. We talk about her daily prayer and meditation practice, finding love again in sobriety, and the deep healing that’s taken place in her relationship with her mother.

A Conversation with Time: Tasting the Piper-Heidsieck Diptyque 1982

Spiced Summer Strawberry Spritz
This is a sponsored post in partnership with Rooster Rojo Tequila intended for a 21+ audience only. When Rooster Rojo Tequila reached out for me to try their new Tequila Ahumado in a cocktail, it seemed like a pretty good little brand synergy, wouldn’t you say? Not only was it a no-brainer because: CHICKENS….and also because: TEQUILA, but furthermore, I was very, very curious to try this interesting-sounding smoked reposado variation. You read the word ‘smoked’ and you immediately think: mezcal. But no—it isn’t like that. This is a mellow, warm tequila that has the loveliest notes of smoke in both the aroma and the taste. I knew, right off the bat, I wanted to put this lovely tequila into a summertime spritz. And strawberries seemed like a pretty good move. AND, if you want to get extra fancy and spend a little bit more time on this drink (or if you just happen to be making this drink at a summer BBQ), throw those strawberries on the grill and get some char on them. It’s a littl

videoCollectors Are Chasing the 2023 Dominus and We Know Why!
Dominus Napa Valley 2023 Link to the wine: https://www.winex.com/dominus-napa-valley-2023.html Join our Daily Email Offer List: https://cdn.forms-content.sg-form.com/f3da488a-d10b-11ee-94a3-62718bdc6118 Some wines are great every year. And then there are vintages that stand apart. The 2023 Dominus Estate is shaping up to be one of those wines. Founded by Christian Moueix, the visionary behind Château Pétrus and other legendary Bordeaux estates, Dominus was always designed to bring a Bordeaux sensibility to Napa Valley. The estate sits in Yountville, where cooler conditions allow Cabernet Sauvignon to develop with balance, precision, and restraint. That vision has paid off. Since 2010, Dominus has produced a remarkable run of wines, including multiple 100 point vintages, cementing its place among Napa’s most collectible producers. But what makes 2023 especially compelling is what came before it. There was no 2022 Dominus produced. The vintage did not meet the estate’s standard
