Behind the Cork™ - Alta Vista Brut Rose
Alta Vista Brut Rosé ($18.99) Alta Vista was founded by Count Patrick d’Aulan, heir of more than 250 years of winemaking tradition. With an enterprising spirit, he arrived in Argentina in the 1990s looking for the best regions of Los Andes. The winery is located in Chacras de Coria, Mendoza. Having been built in 1890, it is a local heritage site of Mendoza. Count Patrick d’Aulan and his family, former owners of Piper Heidsieck, one of the oldest Champagne Houses, developed the project and started the restoration. This Alta Vista Brut Rosé is produced from Malbec (50%) & Pinot Noir (50%) that was sourced from the Albaneve estate vineyard. Using the Charmat method, the second fermentation took place in a pressurized tank. This Brut Rosé is pale salmon in color with aromas of cherry, strawberry and floral notes. On the palate, this light-bodied wine has citrus notes, bright refreshing acidity and medium bubbles. While being on the sweeter end of the “Brut” range, the citrus and acidity co

Does Made in Italy still matter to us?
An article on Islands.com describes six American wineries by comparing them, one by one, to our wine regions. While the rest of the world uses us as a benchmark, at home we keep treating our "Italianness" either as a given — or, increasingly, as a factor that no longer wins.

Magical Mauvesin – a ‘domaine of quality’
Today’s offer is all about terrific value and immediate drinkability. This is classically styled Claret – unmistakably French with its bone-dry, lifted character.

Light rum vs dark rum: is there a difference?
Rum is one of the world’s most diverse and misunderstood spirits categories. From crystal-clear styles to almost black bottlings, colour can often tell you surprisingly little about what’s actually in the glass. In this article, drinks writer Mike Gibson explores the confusing world of light, golden and dark rum and why appearances can be deceptive. When it comes to aged spirits, looks can be deceiving, and in arguably no category is this truer than rum. Unlike whisky or brandy, the casual consumer has come to know rum through styles based on appearance rather than age. On supermarket shelves or online, bottles are often grouped into light, golden or dark categories. And anyone with first-hand knowledge of the category can attest, that’s very rarely an accurate representation of either production methods or flavour. Whisky has to be aged in casks to be called whisky, but that’s not the case for rum, which can be aged for decades or no time at all, and whose appearance can run the gamut

Adventures in Attenuation – British Brown Ale
Mike brewed and we tasted a British Brown Ale for this post. Mike has been thinking more about attenuation in his beers. This batch was part of that ongoing experiment.

Review: Wild Turkey Austin Nichols Archives Collection Gold Foil Edition
Bourbon nerds love to wax poetic about a specific release of Wild Turkey from the 1980s and ’90s, affectionately called “Cheesy Gold Foil” because of its gaudy gold label, one which was clearly trying much too hard for an otherwise straightforward 12 year old release. (That said, Eddie Russell has reportedly stated that the release… The post Review: Wild Turkey Austin Nichols Archives Collection Gold Foil Edition appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Dalla Sabina alla Daunia: Roberto Giacobbo racconta il progetto Torreclava, la sua "Cupola del Brunelleschi" tra vino, famiglia e territorio
Certe vicende non nascono a tavolino ma si incontrano, proprio come fiumi sotterranei che scorrono per secoli prima di affiorare in superficie, ed è proprio questa la trama che vi racconterò: un percorso scritto tra i filari e il destino, capace di far riconoscere e unire indissolubilmente due famiglie. Da una parte Roberto Giacobbo , il divulgatore che per una vita ha raccontato i misteri del mondo, dalle piramidi di Giza ai segreti del Rinascimento. Dall’altra i Faretra, custodi silenziosi di Terre di Maria, una solida realtà agricola nel cuore della Daunia, a Orta Nova, dove i suoli custodiscono memorie antichissime. Cataldo Faretra, Maria Pasquariello, Roberto e Giovanna Giacobbo A rappresentare la nuova generazione, capace di fare da vero e proprio ponte tra questi due mondi, ci sono Cataldo Faretra e Giovanna Giacobbo , compagni nella vita prima ancora che nel business. È dal loro legame affettivo che è nata la scintilla: l'unione tra l'esperienza agricola dei Faretra e la sensib
