How to Discover the Best Toasted Barrel Bourbon
Toasted barrel bourbon is a whiskey that undergoes a secondary aging process in a specially toasted (rather than charred) barrel. This method, inspired by winemaking traditions, involves gently heating the oak to bring out caramelized sugars and rich, nuanced flavors. The result? A smoother, sweeter, and more complex bourbon experience. Toasted barrel finishes often introduce

Behind the Cork™ - Easton Zinfandel
2016 Easton Zinfandel ($18) Easton Wines was founded in the late 80s by husband and wife team Bill Easton and Jane O’Riordan. Bill puts his family name, EASTON, on their non-Rhône varietal wines. The wines are crafted from varietals that have traditionally worked the best in Amador County and the Sierra Foothills. This wine was produced from 100% Zinfandel vines grown in Amador County that are from 20-80 years old. The wine is fermented in stainless steel and was aged for 11 months in 10% new French oak barrels. Easton’s Zinfandel style typically emphasizes acidity and spice over "jamminess." This wine has been described as having aromas of blackberry, raspberry and black pepper. Unfortunately, although this 2016 vintage bottle has been stored in a wine refrigerator in a darkened room, it showed some definite garnet color and muted fruit flavors - signs of premature oxidation. It seems that this bottle moved past its "secondary" stage of aging and went straight into "tertiary" phase (d

Inside The Royal Hotel: Prince Edward County’s most stylish stay
The Royal Hotel blends design, award-winning dining, and hospitality into one of Prince Edward County’s most compelling stays Stepping into The Royal Hotel feels like walking onto a film set; perhaps somewhere between The White Lotus and Oppenheimer. The atmosphere takes hold the moment you pass through its unmarked Main Street entrance in small town Picton, Ontario (within Prince Edward County), unfolding into a space that balances resort-like ease with carefully considered design. Every corner reveals something new, from vintage-chic bars that transition seamlessly into tasting soirées, to a lounge anchored by a fireplace, plush sofas, and even a guitar, all inviting the kind of evening that lingers into the late night. Read Also: Prince Edward County: Where to eat, drink and stay It’s easy to settle into The Royal and lose track of time. It’s the kind of place that quickly proves itself as a destination in its own right. While the rooms are inviting and thoughtfully styled, the expe

Some Closing Thoughts
On Friday afternoon, with work concerns disappearing into the rear view mirror, and a little time to go until I had to pick up the twins from school, I was having a very fine pint of lager (but which one?? It was Vested Interest, a Franconian-style kellerbier) at the bar in the Selvedge Brewing taproom. As I reveled in the magnificence of that beer, which is a stunner in an already superb lineup, I heard news that instantly yucked my yum. Virginia's only craft malting company, my good friends Murphy & Rude, are closing their doors at the end of May. To be honest, I don't know the ins and outs of why Jeff has decided to shut up shop, so I am not going to speculate on that. From what Murphy & Rude have told customers though, they were looking to scale and it became clear that the challenges of scaling made it unfeasible. What I do want talk about though is the ramifications of their coming demise. From a very personal, and entirely self-centred, perspective, I am bummed that I am

Fattoria Nicolucci: il generale sulla collina.
Un bicchiere di vino spesso è custode di una storia, a volte mai scritta. Questa affermazione, maturata alla fine di un viaggio di tre giorni in Romagna, alla scoperta dell'Albana e del Sangiovese romagnolo, trova un prezioso testimonial nella Famiglia Nicolucci, custode e proprietaria della cantina Fattoria Nicolucci, che lavora dal 1885 a Predappio. Visita in cantina e un po' di storia di Fattoria Nicolucci. Poco dopo aver parcheggiato le auto in un piccolo piazzale, pavimentato di...

Follador dal 1769 e l’anima di Valdobbiadene
In certi salotti del vino, popolati da professionisti spesso troppo stanchi per cercare la sorpresa, risuona ancora quel fastidioso ritornello: «Io il Prosecco non lo bevo».
