TOR
Here is the otherworldly Cabernet lineup by TOR. One of the famed Napa houses, TOR was founded by Tor Kenward who formerly spent 26 years building Beringer Vineyards into a national power. As their vice president he was instrumental in helping develop the brand into national prominence before retiring in 2001. I loved the Beringer Reserve wines of the 1990s and 2000s which were some of Napa’s great wines and Tor played a major role in that project. Beringer actually paid for Tor to study viticulture and enology following his retirement, as Tor built his brand as an ultra-premium producer single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons, sourcing from the top blocks within premium sites throughout Napa Valley. This electric lineup sources from famed sites such as Beckstoffer To Kalon, Vine Hill Ranch and Tierra Roja in Oakville, and Melanson on Pritchard Hill. TOR makes some of the finest Chardonnay in the Napa Valley. I adored the thrilling 2024 ‘Cuvee Susan’ (OB, 97) which is up there with the fin

🎧Ep 179 Built by Hand, Blown by the Gap – Featuring Victor Hugo Winery | 915 Lincoln Wines
🍇 Where Wine Takes You, Episode Highlights 🍷 This week, we continue our journey through the eleven sub-AVAs of Paso Robles with a stop in the Templeton Gap District, where the Pacific gets a vote, the wind rarely takes the day off, and Paso’s natural power finds a little extra freshness, perfume, and lift. Joining Adam at SLO CAL Studios are two winemakers operating on very different timelines. Vic Roberts, owner, estate grower, and winemaker at Victor Hugo Winery, arrived in Paso Robles in 1982. A UC Davis enology graduate, Vic helped with the original Paso Robles AVA effort, participated in the early growth of the Paso Robles Wine Festival, and planted his Templeton property one section at a time with his wife, Leslie. Sitting beside him is Scott Mathews, owner and winemaker at 915 Lincoln Wines. Scott’s wine journey began when he announced plans to make wine from a kit, and a friend immediately told him absolutely not. Real grapes were picked, an obsession was born, and the projec

🎧The Wine Makers – Blood Of Gods Ep 2: The Angry Somm (Hayden Stewart) Wine Industry Anarchist
Hayden Stewart is a wine director, sommelier, and food & beverage consultant based in San Diego, California, with extensive experience across the wine industry — from vineyards and tasting rooms to large-scale events and private club beverage programs. He holds a WSET Level 3 certification and has worked in sales, distribution, fine dining, and education. Stewart created the @the_angry_somm Instagram account as a satirical, snarky take on the wine world. The persona is designed to highlight what he sees as pretentiousness, hollow buzzwords, and overhyped marketing in the industry. Through humor, irony, and sarcasm, he critiques trends like chasing “rarity, prestige, and heritage” without substance, and argues that popularity doesn’t equal quality. Hayden and his business partner Joe LoBue have started a new distribution company, Paragon Pacific Imports, to create a better way to communicate with small producers and buyers, reaching younger wine drinkers by meeting them where they are,

From 40% to cask strength: understanding whisky ABV
There are many individual pieces of information on a whisky label that can help you glean what a whisky might be like before you’ve opened the bottle. Many of them - the distillery, the region, the cask type - may give a hint as to its flavour or style. But there’s one that sometimes goes understated: ABV. Discover the story behind whisky ABV, how it has evolved and what it means for the whisky in your glass with drinks writer Mike Gibson. Alcohol by volume is essentially the percentage of ethanol in a particular volume of liquid. In wine, the figure can be a good gauge of things like style and body, because it’s often the ripeness and sugar content of the grapes that dictates ABV in the finished wine, and in that sense, to an extent, it’s out of the winemaker’s hands. In spirits, though, it’s different. From cask strength down to the ubiquitous 40% seen in the majority of supermarket staples, the ABV of the spirit you buy is invariably a deliberate and precise choice on the part of th

Ventozelo Hotel & Quinta – Where the Douro Explains Itself
The road to Ventozelo does not make things easy. From Porto it is the better part of two hours upriver, the final stretch a switchback along the N222 above the left bank of the Douro, where the hills fall away in terraces so steep they look less farmed than sculpted. By the time you reach the gate the estate lies in the parish of Ervedosa do Douro, in the municipality of São João da Pesqueira, you have already absorbed the first thing the place wants to teach you: that the landscape came before the wine and shaped everything that followed.
