Sabato 9 maggio 2026, dalle ore 11:00 alle 19:00, l’azienda Riserva della Cascina sulla Via Appia Antica ospiterà l’edizione laziale del Sabato del Vignaiolo, la manifestazione annuale promossa dalla FIVI – Federazione Italiana Vignaioli Indipendenti – che in tutta Italia apre le porte delle cantine artigianali e porta i vignaioli indipendenti a incontrare direttamente il pubblico.

Confession and confusion

Having made a bit of a fuss over Tallaght's Priory Market, and its built-in brewery, when it opened last summer , I was overdue a revisit. I stopped by on a recent Friday afternoon to find it's all still there and going, though no longer thronged by the crowds from its early days. The good food and fresh beer all still feature, I'm happy to say. The final outstanding beer from Priory Brewing's advertised relaunch line-up is Confession Bock . This proved very much on the dunkel end of the bock spectrum, a specification it meets with its dark garnet colour and 5.8% ABV. I'm ever wary of too much vegetal hop bitterness in bocks in general but this emphasises the caramel malt instead, almost to doppelbock levels, with an extra dose of invigorating coffee roast. The hops are present but restrained, bringing a mild tang of celery and damp lettuce, clearly signalling that authentic noble hops have been deployed. It's almost but not quite sticky, and well-balanced with properly integrated flav

Maison Cardinale: Where Porcelain Meets Terroir

There is a detail about La Maison Cardinale that stays with you. Before there were vines, there was porcelain. The Decoster family spent three decades in the Limoges porcelain industry - masters of craft, precision and the art of presentation, before Dominique and Florence Decoster turned their attention to Saint-Émilion in 2001, acquiring what would become Château Fleur Cardinale. That heritage is not incidental. It runs through everything the estate does, from the way a wine is poured to the way a story is told.
