Time to rediscover aligoté
There’s something of the ugly duckling about the aligoté grape in Burgundy. For a long time, it was relegated to being blended with blackcurrant liqueur for the aperitif kir. But things are happening now — in fact, they have been for several years. Aligoté is starting to take a more prominent place among the white […] Continue reading: Time to rediscover aligoté The post Time to rediscover aligoté was originally published on BKWine Magazine and written by Britt Karlsson .

Beer In Ads #5260: It’s Beer Weather
Two years ago I decided to concentrate on Bock ads for awhile. Bock, of course, may have originated in Germany, in the town of Einbeck. 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 […]

Saint James plays its number 10
Saint James unveils a limited-edition 10-Year-Old Vintage 2015, matured in American and then French oak casks. And it slips a large number 10 onto its label — anything but coincidental in this summer of 2026. Martinique’s oldest distillery, in operation since 1765, has always had a taste for cuvées that capture the spirit of the… Cet article Saint James plays its number 10 est apparu en premier sur Rumporter .

Hiatus Beers Non Alcoholic Pacific Ale
What's the best non-alcoholic beer I have tasted? This Hiatus Pacific Ale is it. Woah! Like a mango parfait, this is a summertime sunset in a can. Made with Veloria, Vienna and Munich malt and Galaxy hops, the front label says it's a full-flavoured non-alcoholic beer and it's spot on. Drop this in a lineup of similar style beers and you'd struggle to tell the difference. Jules Ryan is at the helm. With some serious brewing knowledge and experience after stints at Stone & Wood, Balter and Little Creatures, he saw a hole in the market that he has filled admirably with his Hiatus beers. Brewed as normal, it then undergoes the process of removing the alcohol. A starburst of tropical fruit greets you with passionfruit, a dash of pineapple, guava, freeze-dried papaya and this insanely delicious creamy meringue thing that rides on their coattails. Clean, crisp and incredibly refreshing, I wish I had more than one can on hand. The low and non-alcohol beer scene is miles ahead

Curly Flat Williams Crossing Pinot Noir 2025
The Curly Flat Williams Crossing is back! After a brief stint MIA, consulting winemaker Steve Flamsteed ensured the label was back on the front line. Dark cherries and raspberries skip from the glass with an entourage of earthiness, charred oak, pine needles, cured meats, twigs and dried leaves in hot pursuit. The bones of a very good Pinot Noir are here, and it starts with such promise, but I found the palate to be clipped and it didn't flow through as much as hoped. Given the chance to shine over a couple of days, the drive and length I was hoping for just weren't there. Have a glass with food and you may not even know. 91/100 Region: Macedon Ranges RRP: $38 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X

Geoff Merrill G&W Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
Released with eight years of ageing already done for you, this Geoff Merrill Cabernet quietly improved over the few days it was open. A blend of Coonawarra and McLaren Vale fruit, like its Jacko's Shiraz sibling, it's rich, ripe and bold. Loaded with black fruits, plum pudding and dark chocolate, it's puckering and saps all moisture from the mouth. Cigar box, dried mint and eucalypt nuances add interest with powdery tannins draped across a lengthy and sustained finish. Top value for $30, if you like 'em big with a dash of charisma, shuffle over this way. 92/100 Region: Coonawarra & McLaren Vale RRP: $30 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X

Geoff Merrill Jacko's Shiraz 2018
Eight years young, this is only the early days for this long lifer from Geoff Merrill. A bold and full-throttle delivery is clear from the first swirl. With scents of chocolatey oak, rich vanilla and mocha, it's ripe and dense. Blackberries and blackberry jubes sit at the core with a slightly sweet fruited edge plus lashings of licorice for interest. Unapologetically dense, there is some real heft and muscle here without being top-heavy. A trail of lingering spices and boisterous tannins has the last word. If you like them painted on thick, I reckon you have a new friend here. 92/100 Region: McLaren Vale RRP: $30 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X

InvecchiatIGP: Fornacelle - Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG 2008
di Lorenzo Colombo Stavamo pensando quale vino pescare dalla nostra cantina per il nostro turno della rubrica del sabato InvecchiatIGP e la soluzione l’abbiamo trovata venerdì scorso, peraltro senza intaccare la nostra collezione di vini, quando, in occasione dei press days di Regina Ribelle siamo stati in visita all’azienda Fornacelle di Marco Giusti. Tra i numerosi vini aperti per l’occasione da Marco ci ha particolarmente colpito la Vernaccia di San Gimignano 2008, vino dal color oro antico luminoso di buona intensità. Non particolarmente esplosivo al naso dove alle note di mela, dovute alla non giovane età del vino s’aggiungevano sentori di scorza d’arancia amare e accenni d’erbe aromatiche. Anche il corpo non è certamente imponente ma sapido e succoso con sentori di nespole sul lungo fin di bocca. Un vino che ci ha particolarmente stupiti, ancora vivo e vibrante dopo 18 anni dalla vendemmia, considerando anche che si tratta di uno dei primi vini imbottigliati da Marco che ha infat

Wine Review: Exploring Less Common Spanish Reds
I found two Spanish red varieties that are nice alternatives stylistically to your typical Tempranillo based Spanish red. Let’s explore. Spain has so much more to offer in terms of red varieties besides Tempranillo and Garnacha. I’d start with Mencia from Galicia or Bierzo. Bobal is also great. Canary Island...

Saratoga Water’s Changing Sources
In my water tasting classes in San Francisco, I noticed that Saratoga water’s total dissolved solids jumped from around 40ppm TDS to about 100ppm. In the class we measure TDS by using a low-end TDS meter. The change came between one bottle (glass) and the next batch I bought (in plastic). I was wondering if […] The post Saratoga Water’s Changing Sources first appeared on Alcademics .

A little something for every mood, every meal, and every night of the week. Regularly $257, this month it's $206 for the full twelve. Worth it.

Vigna Traverso, dove i rossi giocano un campionato a parte
Il rettangolo di gioco e il vigneto condividono un destino strano: a volte coltivano geni purissimi che scelgono di non farsi sistema, preferendo l’incanto di un’intuizione improvvisa alla fredda contabilità dei trofei. Chiunque ami il calcio degli anni Settanta conserva una memoria vivida di Ezio Vendrame, l’ala anarchica e ribelle che i cronisti dell’epoca liquidavano […] L'articolo Vigna Traverso, dove i rossi giocano un campionato a parte proviene da La Stanza del vino .
