Alcoholic Daze - Chapter 3
The continuing saga..... How dare she? The leaflet, which my neighbour had given me, incensed me - and my husband was pretty cross too, to put it mildly. This woman did not even know us. How on earth had she got the idea that he was an alcoholic and, even worse to contemplate, was she spreading malicious gossip about us, based on an untruth? The next day, I gathered up all my courage and went over the road to confront her about it. I am not normally one to stick my head above the parapet, but this could not be left unchallenged. If it was to do with seeing him on early mornings out on our forecourt doing DIY with a drink in his hand, I explained that Greg often worked night shifts and that other people's breakfast times were his supper time. Therefore to see him with an alcoholic drink in his hand at breakfast time was not as odd as it seemed. It was his nightcap. She still insisted we were in need of the advice she had presented me with. She had seen the signs in her own

Corison
Here are the gorgeous 2023 releases by Corison. Today we share one of Napa’s historic wineries. Cathy Corison seems to produce amazing wines in tough vintages. A California wine icon, Corison is a master’s degree graduate of the Enology program at UC Davis and has previously served as Chappellet winemaker prior to starting her own winery. For years Corison has implemented a trademark more Bordelaise, and restrained style to her Napa wines. The wines have precision, power and restraint. They age so gracefully. I am so impressed with what she achieved in 2022. Her 2023 wines are even better. I adored the 2023 Corison ’St. Helena’ Cabernet Sauvignon (OB, 97) which is vibrant and nervy with serious power and poise. Learn more about these elegant Napa wines at https://corison.com/ Here is my review of her new Corison wines. 2023 Corison ‘St. Helena’ Cabernet Sauvignon- The 2023 ‘St. Helena’ comes from several undisclosed sites in this district.

MenoDodicIGP: Girlan - Vigneti delle Dolomiti Rosso IGT Vernatsch "448 s.l.m." 2025
Oggi, con il sottoscritto, parte una nuova rubrica che noi Giovani Promettenti (IGP) abbiamo chiamato MenododicIGP dedicata ai vini che costano al pubblico (siti web) meno di 12 euro. C’è chi li definisce popolari, chi quotidiani; per noi sono solo vini sinceri, capaci di accompagnare la tavola con autenticità, dimostrando che il valore non sta nel prezzo ma nelle emozioni che sanno trasmettere senza rinunciare alla territorialità. E proprio da qui partiamo, con un’etichetta che interpreta al meglio questa filosofia. La Schiava “ Vernatsch 448 s.l.m.” 2025 di Girlan , storica cooperativa alto atesina, è il rosso che rimette al centro il piacere semplice del bere. Leggera, fresca, profuma di ciliegia e piccoli frutti, con un tocco floreale che la rende immediata e invitante. Il sorso è agile e scorrevole, mai stancante: un vino accessibile, diretto, che rende piacevole ogni occasione e che, sfortunatamente, finisce sempre troppo in fretta! Prezzo medio sul web: 9 euro

A Tour of Wine Grapes: Gruner Veltliner
Gruner Veltliner Image by Rosenzweig on Wikimedia Commons Grüner Veltliner ( grew-ner felt-lee-ner ) is a white wine grape that is prodomanatly grown in Austria, accounting for more than a third of the country’s total vineyard area with Slovakia, Hungary and the Czech Republic being the other significant growers. Often just referred to as “Grüner,” this wine is typically low in body, tannin and sweetness but high in acidity. But, being a very versatile grape, it can also produce wines that are rich and full-bodied. Key flavors of wines produced from Grüner Veltliner grapes includes lime, lemon and grapefruit. But, most famously, it has spicy, herbal notes of white pepper, radish and lentils. Bet you haven’t had a wine with notes of lentil before! Grüner Veltliner is one of the few white wines that can be incredibly age-worthy, though its longevity depends heavily on the style. Everyday versions are meant for early consumption while high-quality productions can age for 10 to 30 years or
