Booker's Big Easy Batch: Honest, Approachable Full-Bodied Bourbon
This is neither a showy whiskey with cask-finished flavor vectors nor a particularly powerful pour. It's an honest, approachable, full-bodied bourbon that makes old school drinkers say, "Now that's bourbon!" It's the kind of whiskey Booker Noe liked and wanted to share with others.

Introduction How did Gérard Basset discover wine and then go on to become the World’s Best Sommelier? What does truly exceptional hospitality look like in practice?

Budget destinations
I'm not in this for the clicks, but I have noticed that for some reason my blog posts about Aldi and Lidl beers are the most popular thing I write. It is a source of some dismay to one of such a refined palate as myself. And much as I hate to give the people what they want, there are very often new beers to try at the supermarket. Aldi tends to have the turnover and the most amusing knock-offs, but today's are Lidl's work, though very much in the same vein. Birra Bionda (or "Bit of Beyond That", as it's rendered on Dublin's northside) is their answer to Moretti. The cheery chap on the parchment-coloured background isn't wearing a hat, so it's a completely different look to Heineken Italy's original. This is stronger than Moretti, at 5% ABV, and it poured with a surprise Kellerbier haze. The label gives us no clue as to what country it was brewed in, but there's a definite German influence. The texture is candyfloss-soft, making it feel like a pillowy Munich Helles, and ther

Looking at Herzegovina’s Žilavka
It was about 20 years ago when I was first introduced to the main white variety of Žilavka in Bosnia Herzegovina via writing my book on Dalmacija-Herzegovina, but I’ve come back with a very proper tasting of 25 wines that gives a look at where the variety is currently. One might ask as to why these two regions can be linked together as Dalmacija is the Croatian coast and Herzegovina, very much in the interior. But, the fact is, it’s Herzegovina where the main concentration of people who are ‘historically’ […] For full access, please log in or purchase a subscription.

Because many 19th century American breweries were founded by German immigrants, they offered a bock at certain times of the year, be it Spring, Easter, Lent, Christmas, or what have […]
