Looking back at Priorat 2021
It’s hard to imagine, but the Northern Hemisphere’s harvest of 2021 was nearly half a decade ago now. Yeah, I know. Clearly, the quantity of water that flowed under the figurative bridge since then has been, immeasurable… But due to all the world events and torrent of information thrown our way, it’s easy to miss things that are, for most people, not terribly important, such as the various vintages passing in wine regions. And given a justifiably-limited amount of attention span, I feel that there are only a few ‘bookmark’ […] For full access, please log in or purchase a subscription.

To mark their 190th anniversary, Mosnel hosted a conference on ‘Agroforestry’
Agroforestry. In Search of Tomorrow’s Viticulture There is a word that comes up often when talking about Mosnel: balance. In the vineyards, in the cellars,in the glass. Balance is a principle that goes back to 1836, when the Barboglio family inherited the Camignone estate, and which today, 190 years later, Lucia and Giulio Barzanò have…

Miti e unicorni di Jura, uno per uno. Pronti a non farvi prendere in giro?

St Johns Wine Tweed River Shiraz 2023
A super buy for 20 bucks, this St Johns Wine Tweed River Shiraz struts with a cool climate-like Shiraz swagger. Brooding and tightly wound on first pour, it opens with an array of dark fruits. Think blackberries, dark cherries and plums that gradually reveal a gentle cola lift with some air. The palate shifts confidently into savoury territory, where notes of meat jus and cured meats add depth and intrigue. Layers of dark chocolate and finely handled oak frame the fruit, while a subtle granite-like minerality lends precision. A dusting of black pepper spice carries through the finish, enhancing the wine’s complexity. Structurally, it is firm and composed, with tightly knit tannins and a line of persistent acidity that keeps the profile fresh and energetic. Still youthful, it has the balance and concentration to evolve gracefully, rewarding cellaring over the next 5 to 8 years. A big tick from me. 91/100 Region: Blackwood Valley RRP: $20 Source: Sample Winery We

Bridgetown Winery Redtale 2024
This Bridgetown Winery Redtale is a great drink that screams for yiros, burgers and anything in between. Give it some time to breathe and the attractive aromatic lift will whisk you away. A blend of Barbera, Tempranillo and Shiraz (40/40/20), all parcels were co-fermented. I love the vibrancy of the red and purple berries and the structure the Shiraz brings to tie it together. Some cola, dark chocolate, puffs of earthiness and pan juices all put their shoulder to the wheel. Woodsy spices, a touch of five spice and some fruit bun spices elevate its appeal on close. It's a terrific drink and one that I would enthusiastically recommend. 92/100 Region: Blackwood Valley RRP: $30 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X

Midwest Beer Show Recap: Catching Up on the Latest Beer News and Trends
The latest episode of the Midwest Beer Show was another great reminder of why I enjoy doing this series. Beer is always changing, and sometimes the best conversations happen when we slow things down, grab something good to drink, and talk through what is happening across the industry. For this episode, Dave from Beer In Front joined me again as we took a look at the latest beer news and trends making noise around the Midwest and beyond. The Midwest has always had a strong beer identity, but it is also a region where you can really see how the industry continues to shift. Breweries are adjusting, beer drinkers are changing habits, and taprooms are still trying to find the right balance between community, creativity, and business. That is what makes these conversations so interesting. On the surface, beer can seem simple. You pick up a pint, you enjoy the flavor, and you move on. But when you start paying attention to the stories behind the beer, there is always more going on. There are

Toro Albalá Amontillado 1951 (Decadent Drinks)
Decadent Drinks recently introduced a new series named Decadent Grapes . The first release is an Amontillado 1951 from Bodegas Toro Albalá. With this wine the bottler is venturing into the fortified wines of Andalusia for the first time. Toro Albalá is located in the Montilla region near Córdoba. They are best known for their high-age sweet PX wines, but they have dry styles as well. While most will link the name Amontillado to sherry wines, this is technically not a sherry. It is a separate denomination about 200 km further inland from Jerez. The wine Amontillado was named after this region, it literally means in the style of Montilla. Since their bodegas were so far from the shipping ports, Fino from Montilla inevitably underwent some oxidation along the way, becoming a style on its own. Locals think of this as the ultimate dry style because it combines the characteristic ageing under flor (usually around 8 years) with a (much longer) oxidative influence.It says 1951 but in fact at T
