videoDom Perignon 2015 Champagne Review
Wine has been made in the Champagne region since the 5th century. At that time, almost all wine produced and drunk were red wines. The neighboring region of Burgundy was much more suited to producing red wines as the Champagne region did not have the climatic conditions to fully ripen many red wine producing grape varietal. So the wines produced in Champagne were paler, more acidic and lighter in to style (and not as popular to consumers in ancient times). The person who is most associated with the creation of Champagne is Dom Perignon. However, he was not the person who “invented” champagne. In 1662, an English scientist and physician Christopher Merret, documented the addition of sugar to a finished wine to create a second fermentation, which is still the method used to produce Champagne today. Dom Perignon is one of the most famous champagnes in the world and is a label owned by Moet & Chandon. Moet is now owned by LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy), who owns other champ

videoThis £7.39 Portuguese White Divided Us (Episode 550)
In this episode of Wine Mastery, we taste a Portuguese white wine priced at just £7.39 — and it turns out to be far more interesting than we expected. This 2022 Portuguese blend (featuring Roupeiro as the main grape) immediately caught our attention with its rich golden colour and surprisingly expressive nose. On the nose, we found: Honey Tropical fruits Melon Almost a Riesling-style petrol note For a wine at this price point, the complexity genuinely surprised us. But here’s where things got interesting… On the palate: Smooth and rounded texture Juicy peach and tropical fruit Moderate length A slight bitterness on the finish (for one of us) One of us would happily buy it again. The other? Not quite convinced. Final scores: 86 points vs 82 points. We also discuss: Whether price influences perception The importance of food pairing Blue Stilton pairing potential Garlic prawns and Portuguese seaside vibes And answer a viewer's question about pairing wine with pizza I

podcast· 16:35185. Is Moderation Possible?
Is moderation even possible—or are you just setting yourself up for disappointment? In this week’s episode of 90 Days Later, I’m breaking down the truth about moderation, why it works for some and not others, and how to know if it’s the right path for you. Spoiler: it’s not about being “good enough” to control your drinking—it’s about understanding why you want to, and building self-trust from the inside out. We’ll talk about what moderation really takes, the mindset shifts that make it easier, and why some clients eventually choose to leave alcohol behind altogether—on their own terms. Whether you’re cutting back, taking a break, or somewhere in the messy middle, this episode will remind you that your journey doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. You don’t need a crisis to make a change. You just need a willingness to listen to that quiet voice that says, “This isn’t working anymore.” 👉 If that voice is getting louder—and you’re ready for real support—book a free call and let’s ta

Carmenère: Chile’s signature grape & wine
Carmenère: Chile’s signature grape & wine You would not be surprised to learn that Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and other well-known grape varieties are popular search terms on the Wines With Attitude website. However, one of the most searched-for varieties is Carmenère (pronounced car-mun-air), a rather more obscure, though distinctive, black grape variety. Part of the reason for its low profile is that Carmenère accounts for only a tiny proportion of the total world wine grape production. In addition it has long been the source of mystery and misidentification. In fact the grape was almost extinct and was only rediscovered many years later, in the late 20th century, on a different continent having long been mistaken for another grape. So why is Carmenère such a popular search term? Let’s delve into the mysterious Carménère and find out where it is grown, what kind of wines it produces, what it tastes like and why you should make it a part of your wine repertoire. The Ca
