videoKrug & Max Richter, An evening to remember.
Without question, one of the most extraordinary evenings in recent memory. Krug partnered with renowned British composer and pianist Max Richter to take us on a transcendent musical journey. In truth, it felt less like a concert and more like stepping onto another planet, an entirely different atmosphere, meticulously crafted for total immersion and a tasting experience unlike anything I’ve encountered. The celebration brought together three parts of their 2008 vintage, firstly the focussed Clos

December is the season of last-minute dinners, impromptu cookie drops, hostess gifts, and those nights when you definitely need a bottle that feels a little special. This month’s Case of the Month has you covered for all of it — from bubbles for toasting to cozy reds for the table, plus a few crowd-pleasers to keep on hand “just in case.” A $335 lineup for only $268! That’s a rare $67 savings on some seriously good bottles. Here’s What’s Included Bollinger Special Cuvée Champagne One of the great, historic Champagne houses — and yes, one James Bond personally approves of.

This is SE Portland’s best-selling bubbles and basically a holiday tradition at this point. We still haven’t met a single
podcast· 17:59Sobriety in Perimenopause: Your Unbothered, Unapologetic Era
Are you wondering why alcohol doesn't work for you the way it used to? Your body might be signaling a profound transformation – perimenopause. As a holistic alcohol coach working with women for over five years, I’ve discovered that this transitional phase requires a sacred pause from alcohol to truly understand what’s happening within. Perimenopause literally means "the time before the pausing of the month/moon" – it’s a threshold experience inviting you into an unbothered, unapologetic era of your life. But here's the crucial insight: you cannot navigate this transition effectively while alcohol is in your system. It creates an imbalance on top of an already fluctuating hormonal landscape, making it impossible to gather accurate data about your changing body. Key Takeaways: Perimenopause is a transformational phase that alcohol can distort. Alcohol disrupts hormonal balance, masking the signals your body is trying to send. Shifting your perspective from "problem" to "possibility" help

podcast· 1h 36m· Ep 409Legacy Series - Trius Red: 35 Vintages, 4 Winemakers, One Ontario Icon
André Proulx and Michael Pinkus assemble an “Avengers” lineup of Trius Red winemakers at Trius — J-L Groux, Craig McDonald, Emma Garner, and Ben Minaker - for a deep vertical tasting from 2010–2024 (plus a 2002 Trius Grand Red). Today's episode is supersized to match the grandeur of the guests. The unpack how Niagara’s climate, vineyard sourcing, blending, tannin management, cork choices, and restrained oak have shaped this flagship blend. Groux recounts Trius Red’s origins in 1989 as a Bordeaux-inspired assemblage and how warmer, longer falls have helped late-ripening reds, while the group compares challenging and standout vintages (including 2010, 2012, 2015, 2016, and 2020) and discusses the difficulty of maintaining quality as production scaled. In the post-credits scene André speaks with former Trius winemaker Darrell Brooker (2005–2010), now CEO of Latitude Wines, about his approach to Trius Red, vintage-driven volumes, and adapting oak use to each season.

videoBurgundy’s Most Underrated Grape
Burgundy is home to some of the most expensive wines in the world. Bottles of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti can sell for more than $30,000, yet in this episode of Got Somme we’re tasting a Burgundy white wine for under $100. How is that possible? The answer lies in one of Burgundy’s most underrated grape varieties: Aligoté. In this episode, Angus and Master Sommelier Carlos Santos take a deep dive into the forgotten sibling of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. While Burgundy is famous for its iconic Grand Cru wines, Aligoté has quietly existed in the region for centuries, often overlooked despite producing bright, mineral-driven wines with incredible value. Carlos explains why Aligoté is having a quiet renaissance among sommeliers and wine lovers around the world, and why this historic Burgundian grape could be your gateway into Burgundy without the Burgundy price tag. Along the way, we unpack the fascinating history of the grape, how it compares to Chardonnay and Chablis, and the surprisi
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

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

**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.

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
