May 18: The Anniversary of the Khodynka Tragedy
Today is the anniversary of the Khodynka Tragedy. 1,389 people were trampled to death in a park in Moscow during the coronation celebrations of Russian Tsar Nicholas II in 1896. The tragedy served to make the Russian people think the reign of Nicholas II was cursed and eroded the public trust to the degree it made it that much easier for the Bolsheviks to seize power in 1917. So, what happened? Well, typically during coronation celebrations, the new Tsar lays a bunch of free stuff on the celebrators, particularly beer and pretzels. All well and good, I personally think our elected leaders should do the same, but this time, false rumors began spreading through the huge crowd, saying there weren't enough pretzels and beer to go around, causing a mass panic and deadly trampling. So, what's the lesson here? If you're going to throw a shindig, always make sure the beer and pretzels are right up front, so no one gets the idea to freak out and start stepping on people.

Why “Everyone Else Drinks Normally” Is A Lie
Have you ever watched someone linger over a single glass of wine at dinner and wondered: how do they drink so… normally? When I was struggling with my drinking, I was constantly spying on other people’s drinking, comparing myself, convinced that I was the only one with a secret problem. I was wrong, of course, […] The post Why “Everyone Else Drinks Normally” Is A Lie appeared first on The Sober School .

Dark deeds
Why do I take so long picking beers when I'm standing in front of the fridges in Redmond's? It's because I'm trying to piece together the theme for a blog post. Something about Thornbridge and dark beers, maybe? Baize is presumably a reference to the brewery's nearest big city, Sheffield, being perennially associated with snooker. The green (three points) and the black (seven points) are respectively represented by mint in a 5.5% ABV stout. Lactose is the only other non-standard ingredient, standing for the cue ball, I guess. The aroma's mint is faint, no more than a waft from a freshly opened bag of mint imperials: processed and sugar-laden, not fresh. Although it's a milk stout really, the dairy sweet side is quite understated, and there's a proper balancing coffee and toast roast. They haven't gone overboard with the mint flavour, which is a pastey smear, like the inside mush of Fry's Peppermint Cream (ask your grandparents) rather than raw herb leaf. I prefer the raw herb lea

Glenmorangie introduces Signature Serve Ritual for Original 12 Years Old
The ritual accompanies the recent transition of the expression from 10 to 12 years of ageing. According to the company, the extended maturation is aimed at delivering greater depth, creaminess and balance to the whisky’s profile. The Signature Serve Ritual includes a Glenmorangie-inscribed ice cube designed for slow dilution, along with a dehydrated orange slice clipped to the rim of the glass to accentuate the whisky’s citrus-forward notes. The Glenmorangie Original 12 Years Old features notes of orange, peach, apricot, vanilla, honey and almond, with a smooth finish. Smriti Sekhsaria, Marketing Director at Moët Hennessy India, said evolving consumer preferences are increasingly focused on premium and experience-led consumption. Signature Serve Ritual Steps Step 1 - Pour Glenmorangie Original 12 Years Old into a whisky glass Step 2 - Add the Glenmorangie-inscribed ice cube (Regular ice will also do) Step 3 - Clip a dehydrated orange slice to the rim of the glass

Looking back at Priorat 2021
It’s hard to imagine, but the Northern Hemisphere’s harvest of 2021 was nearly half a decade ago now. Yeah, I know. Clearly, the quantity of water that flowed under the figurative bridge since then has been, immeasurable… But due to all the world events and torrent of information thrown our way, it’s easy to miss things that are, for most people, not terribly important, such as the various vintages passing in wine regions. And given a justifiably-limited amount of attention span, I feel that there are only a few ‘bookmark’ […] For full access, please log in or purchase a subscription.

Agroforestry. In Search of Tomorrow’s Viticulture There is a word that comes up often when talking about Mosnel: balance. In the vineyards, in the cellars,in the glass.

St Johns Wine Tweed River Shiraz 2023
A super buy for 20 bucks, this St Johns Wine Tweed River Shiraz struts with a cool climate-like Shiraz swagger. Brooding and tightly wound on first pour, it opens with an array of dark fruits. Think blackberries, dark cherries and plums that gradually reveal a gentle cola lift with some air. The palate shifts confidently into savoury territory, where notes of meat jus and cured meats add depth and intrigue. Layers of dark chocolate and finely handled oak frame the fruit, while a subtle granite-like minerality lends precision. A dusting of black pepper spice carries through the finish, enhancing the wine’s complexity. Structurally, it is firm and composed, with tightly knit tannins and a line of persistent acidity that keeps the profile fresh and energetic. Still youthful, it has the balance and concentration to evolve gracefully, rewarding cellaring over the next 5 to 8 years. A big tick from me. 91/100 Region: Blackwood Valley RRP: $20 Source: Sample Winery We

Bridgetown Winery Redtale 2024
This Bridgetown Winery Redtale is a great drink that screams for yiros, burgers and anything in between. Give it some time to breathe and the attractive aromatic lift will whisk you away. A blend of Barbera, Tempranillo and Shiraz (40/40/20), all parcels were co-fermented. I love the vibrancy of the red and purple berries and the structure the Shiraz brings to tie it together. Some cola, dark chocolate, puffs of earthiness and pan juices all put their shoulder to the wheel. Woodsy spices, a touch of five spice and some fruit bun spices elevate its appeal on close. It's a terrific drink and one that I would enthusiastically recommend. 92/100 Region: Blackwood Valley RRP: $30 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X
