A Tour of Wine Grapes: Colombard
Colombard (or Colombar) Photo from Pancrat on Wikimedia Commons The name Colombard likely comes from the French word for dove, "colombe". Legend has it that the grape was so named because its white, dusty berries match the color of a dove's plumage. It is a natural cross between Chenin Blanc and Gouais Blanc. This makes it a sibling to Chardonnay and Riesling. Colombard was among the most-planted white grape varieties in France but is also found in California’s Central Valley, Texas as well as South Africa, Australia, Thailand and Israel. Before Chardonnay took over in the 1990s, Colombard (often called "French Colombard" in the U.S.) was the most planted white grape in California. Historically a "workhorse" grape in blending, it has played a major role in both distilled spirits (Brandy) and mass-market "jug wines.” For decades, it was the grape used in nearly every generic "Chablis" or "Hearty White" jug wine sold in the U.S. But, in the recent past, French wine producers have began u

Grandparents Rock!
By Kathleen Reynolds When I was a child, my grandmother lived in Ireland, far, far away. When she came for extended visits, I was thrilled to sit on her lap while she read Cinderella and Snow White. That was long before the internet made staying connected easier. Today, according to Living Your Senior Life, an estimated 2.5 million children across the U.S. are raised in “grandfamilies,” and more than 80% of grandparents play significant roles in their grandchildren’s lives....

Vigne Vecchie: Qualità e Mito nel Vino
C’è un momento, nella vita di una vigna, in cui smette di essere giovane. Non è un passaggio netto, non esiste una soglia biologica universale. Eppure, per convenzione, si tende a considerare vecchie le viti che hanno superato i 35 anni. È una definizione utile. Ma non basta a spiegare perché, intorno a queste piante, si sia costruita una narrazione così potente. Il vigneto The Freedom 1843 di Langmeil- Australia (Barossa) Meno è meglio? I vini ottenuti da vigne vecchie sono spesso associati a una qualità superiore. È una percezione diffusa, ma va maneggiata con attenzione: non è una regola, né una garanzia. Uno dei fattori più citati è la minore resa. Con l’età, la vite tende a produrre meno grappoli. Meno quantità, quindi. Una produzione più contenuta può favorire una maggiore concentrazione nelle uve. Questione di equilibrio Con il passare degli anni, la vite cambia il proprio modo di stare nello spazio. La crescita vegetativa si riduce: meno fogliame, meno espansione. Questo compor

The RUM RUNNER - Is it the most underrated RUM COCKTAIL?!
Some cocktails never go out of fashion… and others quietly disappear, even though they absolutely deserve a place behind the bar. The Rum Runner is one of those drinks. Created back in the 1950s, the Rum Runner is a fruity, rum-forward cocktail packed with flavour — but for some reason, it’s never quite had the same spotlight as other tropical classics. And that’s a shame, because when it’s made properly, it’s right up there with the best rum cocktails to make at home. In this video, I’ll...
