What The Schnitt?
Yesterday I introduced you to our friend Mr Bílek, shoemaker and fundraiser for Czech national causes extraordinaire, yet he was far from alone in his endeavours, as I discovered in the German language daily "Znaimer Tagblatt" from January 1900. Znaim is the German name for the modern city of Znojmo in Moravia (minor aside, I always find typing "Moravia" rather than "Morava" weird) and if ethnic maps of the late 19th and early 20th century are accurate the city, and its attendant region, was predominantly German rather than Czech. The history of Bohemia and Moravia within the context of the wider Austro-Hungarian Empire is delightfully complex and multi-ethnic, and I don't want to get into that fun here. However, what is clear is that Czechs and Germans living in Bohemia and Moravia used each other to prod and cajole their fellow citizens into ever greater demonstrations of national fervour. According to this story, the fund raising undertaken by the likes of Mr Bílek at U Fleků had ra

Collecting Coins in the Pub
I am always fascinated by the social and political aspects of the pub, perhaps more so even that the beery ones. Pubs, beer halls, biergartens, are all inherently social and political spaces, because they are places where humans get together and talk about the things that are important to them, or at least on their minds. Sure, folks can prattle on about not talking about politics or religion in polite society, but the pub, beer hall, or biergarten are not necessarily polite spaces, and so it is no surprise when you dig into the role such places have played in history that you learn interesting things...such as this story from the "Kuryer Lwowski" - that's Lemberger Courier for the non Polish speakers amongst us... As you can probably tell from the highlighted sections, I was doing a search on the legendary Prague beer hall, U Fleků, but this story from May 4th 1893 has nothing to do with black beer, or any other shade of booze, rather it comes from a story titled "How Czechs Collect D

Champagne’s Village of Three Appellations : The History & Wines of Les Riceys
Tucked away in the Barséquanais, Les Riceys isn't just any Champagne village. It's the largest by vineyard area in the entire region, with over 840 hectares under vine. But it's not just size that makes it special. Les Riceys is the only village in Champagne that can legally produce all three of the region's appellations: AOP Champagne, AOP Coteaux Champenois, and the elusive AOP Rosé des Riceys. That alone should earn your attention.

The Aube: Why Champagne’s Wild & Rebellious South is Stealing the Spotlight
If your understanding of Champagne ends at the chalky slopes of Épernay and the stately maisons of Reims, it’s time to look further south. The Aube, long the quiet, Pinot-driven ugly cousin of the region, has remained in the shadows for much of Champagne’s modern history. For decades, the grandes maisons discreetly sourced fruit from its bucolic hillsides south of Troyes, while rarely acknowledging its origin. The reason? The Aube was considered second-tier; useful, but not worthy of celebration

"Guile Brews" by Peter Symons - a review
"Guile Brews" is a historical treatise on the brewing traditions of Cornwall, Ireland, and England.
