Midwest Beer Show Recap: Catching Up on the Latest Beer News and Trends
The latest episode of the Midwest Beer Show was another great reminder of why I enjoy doing this series. Beer is always changing, and sometimes the best conversations happen when we slow things down, grab something good to drink, and talk through what is happening across the industry. For this episode, Dave from Beer In Front joined me again as we took a look at the latest beer news and trends making noise around the Midwest and beyond. The Midwest has always had a strong beer identity, but it is also a region where you can really see how the industry continues to shift. Breweries are adjusting, beer drinkers are changing habits, and taprooms are still trying to find the right balance between community, creativity, and business. That is what makes these conversations so interesting. On the surface, beer can seem simple. You pick up a pint, you enjoy the flavor, and you move on. But when you start paying attention to the stories behind the beer, there is always more going on. There are

Toro Albalá Amontillado 1951 (Decadent Drinks)
Decadent Drinks recently introduced a new series named Decadent Grapes . The first release is an Amontillado 1951 from Bodegas Toro Albalá. With this wine the bottler is venturing into the fortified wines of Andalusia for the first time. Toro Albalá is located in the Montilla region near Córdoba. They are best known for their high-age sweet PX wines, but they have dry styles as well. While most will link the name Amontillado to sherry wines, this is technically not a sherry. It is a separate denomination about 200 km further inland from Jerez. The wine Amontillado was named after this region, it literally means in the style of Montilla. Since their bodegas were so far from the shipping ports, Fino from Montilla inevitably underwent some oxidation along the way, becoming a style on its own. Locals think of this as the ultimate dry style because it combines the characteristic ageing under flor (usually around 8 years) with a (much longer) oxidative influence.It says 1951 but in fact at T

When Wine And Cannabis Were Finding Their Place In History
My Unique Position I don’t know anyone else admitting to this, and it has a lot to do with my age.

Nannup Estate Phillip Stanley Chardonnay 2021
Nannup Estate's flagship Chardonnay rises to the occasion, delivering a wine of depth, character and one to cellar with confidence should you have the patience to do so. The fruit was machine-harvested and pressed to barrel where it remained for ten months. The best barrels were selected for this wine before blending. Generous yellow stonefruit sits at the core, partnered by an array of interest. Think lemon zest, key lime pie, pineapple husk and dehydrated mango with ribbons of pastry creaminess flowing through with ease. Roasted cashews and nougat rise up with time in the glass finishing with oak spices, cinnamon spiced pears and a tense acidity. Quality stuff, particularly for those who enjoy richer, oaky styles of Chardonnay. 93/100 Region: Blackwood Valley RRP: $51 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X

Beulah Chardonnay 2023
If a rich, oak-driven style of Chardonnay is your thing, head on over this way. Beulah Wines hail from Western Australia's Blackwood Valley, just inland from Margaret River. Dehydrated peach, peaches and cream, this is definitely on the yellow fruit spectrum. Lemon curd gets amongst the action with cashews and gingerbread adding some savoury interest. Warming and mouthfilling, woodsy spices linger long on a persistent finish. Of note, the acidity creeps up high on the palate and refuses to loosen its grip. It feels quite muscular and aggressive to close, perhaps some more bottle age will do the trick? 88/100 Region: Blackwood Valley RRP: $28 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X

Sunnyhurst Winery Viognier 2025
Delightful, attractive and most approachable, this is a fruit-driven Viognier sure to please. It's my first look at a wine from the Blackwood Valley's Sunnyhurst Winery, and it has made a most positive impression. Scents of yellow flowers, yellow-fleshed stonefruit and gingernut biscuit spices get you in the mood. Mazipan, fresh apricots and yellow-fleshed nectarines plant themselves on the palate, framed by those spices that cling to the finish. Armed for long lunches or soaking up the weekend sunshine, the length rolls on with the acidity bringing the mouth the water. A most pleasant drink indeed. 90/100 Region: Blackwood Valley RRP: $28 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X
