Alba en Ribera, Ribera del Duero

These are part of a new project called, Alba en Ribera in DO Ribera del Duero. Both of the wines present a lighter take on the more typical heavier-bodied wines found in the region which makes them drift a touch more towards Rioja stylistically, although with plenty of dark fruit notes to state firmly that they are indeed Ribera wines. From the village of Olmedillo, the vineyards are all higher-altitude plantings starting at 825m and going up from there. From the start everything has been farmed organically, but don’t be […] For full access, please log in or purchase a subscription .

Green River Honey Finished Bourbon Review: A $25 Honey Whiskey Worth Trying?

Updated: June 2026 The short answer: Green River Honey Finished Bourbon is a 92-proof, 4-year Kentucky straight bourbon with real honey added directly to the barrel during finishing. At $25 MSRP, it delivers a clean, honey-forward sip without the syrupy sweetness of most flavored whiskeys. We give it a combined 36.75/50 and an easy recommend.
