Finally, the spotlight is on Côte des Bar, the southern Champagne region, with an amazing array of grower champagnes | Britt on Forbes
The Côte des Bar, the southernmost part of Champagne, is a gold mine for those looking for exciting grower champagnes. The district is a bit isolated from the rest of Champagne. The city of Troyes is nearby, as is the border with Burgundy. It was previously not talked about much.

The Joy Of Being Sober Smug
In my drinking days, the idea that sobriety could be anything other than deprivation and punishment seemed completely laughable to me. I was sure that sober people were missing out, big time. So it’s kind of funny that I’m sat here, talking about the joy of being sober smug. That’s my name for that feeling […] The post The Joy Of Being Sober Smug appeared first on The Sober School .

The Best UK Vineyards with Restaurants (2026 Guide)
English vineyard dining has come of age. A decade ago, “lunch at a vineyard” usually meant a sandwich on a picnic bench. Today the country’s leading wine estates run proper restaurants with serious chefs, Michelin recognition, AA Rosettes and the kind of dining-room views that make Tuscany look overrated. This is a guide to the...

Kildare's wins
It's a busy brewing county, Kildare. I guess it benefits from being in the Dublin hinterland but without the constraints of Dublin commercial rents. Today I'm looking at four recent beers from four different Kildare breweries. I'll begin with a lager from Farringtons, though not in the brewery's usual livery. Hells Yeah is a collaboration with Martin's Off Licence and is branded for the shop, having been created for their Advent box last winter. It's a hefty fellow at 5.4% ABV, and the brewer's German vocabulary may need a refresh as it's not very hell  at all: a medium-amber colour. It follows that the aroma is more like that of a bock, mixing rich golden syrup malt with a strongly vegetal hop seasoning. The body is unsurprisingly full, and there's a lack of carbonation, detracting from its abilities as a thirst-quencher, which is what I wanted it for. The flavour is full too, however, and enjoyably deep and rounded. There's gooey treacle tart and a surprising blackberry-jam frui

Known Unknown Super Blanc Te Awanga Sauvignon Blanc 2024
Known Unknown Super Blanc Te Awanga Sauvignon Blanc 2024 $tbc Ultra golden in the glass, this Hawke’s Bay Sauvignon Blanc is roaring with youthful freshness, cheek-puckering citrus, gooseberry and green apple goodness. Each sip reveals a peacocks tail of peach, elderflower and freshly baled hay, dried herbs, grapefruit pith and a deep vein of minerality.

Intervista a Fabio Mecca: “Il vino è come il sangue: non ammette finzioni
Venti anni di carriera, venti cantine nel portafoglio e un’idea di vino che non accetta compromessi. Ho incontrato Fabio Mecca a Roma, in occasione della giornata speciale organizzata dalla FIS per celebrare i suoi vent’anni da enologo – un traguardo importante che arriva dopo il prestigioso premio già ricevuto sul palco di Beviamoci Sud . Ma dietro i festeggiamenti e il prestigio di oggi, c'è una storia fatta di terra, sacrifici e riscatto.  Quella che segue non è la solita intervista tecnica, ma il racconto senza filtri di un uomo che ha dovuto perdere tutto per ritrovare il proprio cognome e la propria libertà. Fabio, partiamo dalle origini. C’è chi sceglie questo mestiere per studio, chi per moda. Tu sembri nato direttamente tra i serbatoi. Sono del 1982 e sono cresciuto a Barile, nel cuore del Vulture. La mia scuola elementare era letteralmente di fronte alla cantina di famiglia, la Paternoster. Ricordo che passavo le ore con la testa girata verso la finestra: non guardavo la
