podcast· 24:22This Wine Is So Thick It Pours Like Paste (Fortified Wines Explained)
Fortified wines might be some of the most misunderstood wines in the world — often dismissed as “old-fashioned,” too sweet, or too strong. In this episode of Got Somme, Angus O’Loughlin and Master Sommelier Carlos Santos dive deep into the world of Sherry, Port, and Pedro Ximénez, unpacking why these wines deserve far more attention than they get. From the Sherry Triangle in southern Spain to the steep vineyards of the Douro Valley in Portugal, Carlos breaks down how fortified wines are made, why they’re aged the way they are, and how styles like Fino, Amontillado, Oloroso, Tawny Port, Ruby Port, LBV, and Vintage Port all differ. Along the way, Angus shares a deeply personal memory of secretly drinking his grandmother’s sherry after school, while Carlos explains how some fortified wines can literally be hundreds of years old, growing thicker, darker, and more concentrated over generations. They also tackle the big question: Why did fortified w
podcast· 1h 06m#228. Guías de vino con René Rentería
En este nuevo episodio de ReWine conversamos con René Rentería, una de las voces más lúcidas y críticas del mundo del vino, a propósito del lanzamiento de su Guía del Vino. Una charla que va más allá de las etiquetas y las puntuaciones para cuestionar cómo hablamos de vino, cómo lo comunicamos y cómo lo disfrutamos. Hablamos de calidad, coherencia, educación, vino mexicano, consumo consciente y del enorme reto de traducir el lenguaje del vino sin esnobismos ni fórmulas vacías. René comparte su visión sobre las guías, los criterios detrás de sus recomendaciones, el papel del gusto, la historia detrás de cada botella y por qué el vino, antes que nada, es goce y acto de compartir. Un episodio profundo, honesto y provocador, ideal tanto para quienes ya aman el vino como para quienes buscan acercarse a él sin miedo.

The Session #145 — Critique not Criticism
For the March 2025 edition of The Session I’m asking participants to produce a piece of critical writing about beer or pubs. This could be a review of a beer you’ve enjoyed, or perhaps one you haven’t. A pub you’re fond of, or maybe one that has room for improvement. You could write about a beer experience (or lack of) in a setting such as a restaurant, or even produce a critique that focuses on a particular aspect of beer or pub culture. The aim is not to be judgemental, subjective or to showcase any particular bias; this is not some finger-wagging exercise. Whereas criticism involves building an argument about why you think something is simply good or bad, critique involves taking a more holistic approach, using carefully researched and considered analysis to build a reasoned, objective, and possibly even entertaining take that benefits readers by giving them good quality information to consider. Last year I wrote about how there is a general lack of criticism in beer writing , and c

Check out all the great events Laurie has on the calendar in 2026 on her website at TheWineCoach.com/events including a few spaces still left in her Tuscany tour this October! In this episode of The Sipping Point , Laurie Forster sits down with Ken MacKenzie, founder of Fresh Victor, to talk tequila, mixers, and the power of great ingredients to bring people together. Ken shares how a move to Guadalajara sparked a deep appreciation for tequila culture and set him on a path from importing premium agave spirits to creating a premium line of all-natural, cold-pressed mixers designed to elevate every pour. They explore the evolution of tequila in the U.S., the challenges of maintaining freshness and quality at scale, and why real ingredients matter—whether you’re mixing cocktails, low-alcohol drinks, or going spirit-free.

Malbec grape and wines
Guide to the Malbec Grape & its wines Malbec, Argentinian Malbec in particular, is one of the most popular red wines in the UK. It was long considered one of the ‘beefiest’ red wines and became a staple house wine for many pubs and restaurants, initially increasing its popularity. That may however have come at a cost as public perception of the quality of Malbec seems to be in decline. This blogpost looks into the reasons for Malbec’s popularity, explores facts about the Malbec grape that account, in part, for the wine’s different aromas & flavours and for the different styles of Malbec wine. It also considers if quality has become an issue for ‘brand Malbec’ and covers which food is best consumed with Malbec. The Malbec grape Although the Malbec grape is the flagship grape of Argentina, it originated in the area of South West France around the city of Cahors, east of Bordeaux and north of Toulouse. It is also known in that area and in the Loire where a little is grown as Côt or Auxerr
podcast· 1h 31m· Ep 493From Endless Summer to Carmel Wines: The Creative Journey of Walter Georis
Crazy story. Walter Georis wrote the soundtrack to the iconic surf film, The Endless Summer. With desires to make it big in music, the soundtrack would be their swan song in show business. What happens after, is shear career poetry. I have to tell you that sitting down with Walter Georis was the kind of podcast taping that makes me glad I do this show. There's something about a man whose life story connects surf music, fine dining, art, and wine that just puts a smile on your face—especially when he unspools it with such humble, matter-of-fact wisdom. Now, I didn't know much about Walter Georis before a friend tipped me off. I got an email out of the blue—one of those you almost skip past in your inbox. My friend, who I used to surf with in Palos Verdes, had been up late thinking about "The Endless Summer." He does a quick search, and boom—finds out that the guy who wrote the music for that iconic film now owns a winery up in Carmel Valley. He tells me, "Paul, you've got to talk to thi
