🍷 Visita alla Cantina Berioli – dove il Merlot è una dichiarazione d’amore
Ci sono cantine che producono vino.E poi ci sono cantine che raccontano una storia iniziata nel 1912, quando la famiglia faceva vino “casereccio” molto prima che diventasse una parola di moda. Con Roberto Berioli è stato subito chiaro: qui si fa sul serio.Agronomo di formazione, vignaiolo per scelta, nel 1990 reimpianta tutto.

Hospital tests
Earlier this week I had to have a hospital test that was new to me. In order to find out why food stays in my stomach more than the normal 3 to 5 hours  (gastroscopies and ultrasound have shown it to be there for over 16 hours after I have fasted), I was urged to have a Delayed Gastric Emptying Study (DGES). I am pretty sure the culprit will be the pyloric valve damaged at the base of my stomach by the operation I had ten years ago ( see here ), but this test was just to make sure there was no other reason for the hold-up. So last week, I made my way to the Nuclear Medicine Department of Guy's Hospital near London Bridge for my appointment there. The word "Nuclear" is scary enough. Would I glow in the dark afterwards? I had to present myself fasting and that included drinking no water either. Having to negotiate the hour-long journey from home to London Bridge - in morning rush-hour on busy trains without breakfast and not even a sip of water - was hard. On arriving at the Nuclear

North Texas secures 15 medals at 2026 Texas Craft Brewers Cup
Image: Texas Craft Brewers Guild. The awards ceremony for the 2026  Texas Craft Brewers Cup  took place tonight in Austin, with breweries from North Texas claiming fifteen medals, along with one People's Choice award. Presented by the  Texas Craft Brewers Guild , the event drew 930 entries from 142 Texas breweries (note, membership in the Guild is not required for entry). Competition beers were broken down into 30 different categories representing over 150 beer styles, then judged against guidelines published by either the  Beer Judge Certification Program  (BJCP) or the  Brewers Association  as created for the  Great American Beer Festival  (GABF). Of the eleven North Texas breweries to secure a medal, Four Bullets Brewery of Richardson was the sole first-time honoree. Also worth mentioning, Maple Branch Craft Brewery of Fort Worth followed up their silver for Romanov's Revenge at last fall's GABF with a gold at the Texas Craft Brewers

Wine of the Week: Keuka Lake Estate Riesling Semi-Dry, Finger Lakes, NY 2010: A Rare 5-Star Rating!
I keep a library of bottle-aged Finger Lakes Riesling. I’ve found (due to a geeky phenomenon of bound vs. free terpenes), that Rieslings are best in the first two years, or, if from a classic cool climate region, at 15 years or older, if well-cellared and if the corks aren’t plastic. This Riesling is not […]

Chuckanut’s Barrel-Aged Export Stout Emerges After a Year in Orbit
On this planet, humans measure patience in months. Brewers measure it in barrels.

A Tour of Wine Grapes: Carignan
Carignan 🍷 Carignan Grapes [ Image from Wikimedia Commons (Sarah Stierch) ] Carignan ( care-in-yen ), also known as Carineña or Mazuelo, is a black-skinned wine grape variety, most likely native to Aragon, Spain. It is largely grown in France with smaller production in Spain, Italy and the U.S. The vine of this grape is known for having exceptionally tough, woody stems. This makes mechanical harvesting nearly impossible because the grape clusters won't easily detach from the vine. So, most high-quality Carignan is still being harvested by hand. The Carignan grape is known for producing wines that are high in color, tannin and acid. Carignan has moved from being used in mass-market "jug" wines in the U.S. to being recognized for its potential to produce nice medium-bodied wines. Wines made from Carignan have tasting notes include cranberry, raspberry, and black fruit. Because Carignan can have naturally high tannins, many winemakers use carbonic maceration —the same technique used for

Levels of Being Drunk
When you think of dangerous drugs, alcohol likely isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. Most people think of crack, heroin, or prescription painkillers. Because of widespread social acceptance in this country, drinking — and getting drunk — is often considered a largely harmless form of social recreation. But is it really? Could it […]

Hidden Gems of Emilia-Romagna: The Wines of Poderi dal Nespoli
Let’s start the weekend on an exploration of the wines of the Emilia-Romagna wine region in north central Italy with a focus on the Poderi dal Nespoli winery. Recently I attended a virtual wine tasting led by wine educator, Fili ppo Bartolott a, and the winemaker of Poderi dal Nespoli, Scipione Giuliani .    Despite the reputation of of its surrounding neighbors, Emilia-Romagna is one of Italy's underappreciated wine regions so lets change that one bottle at a time starting with Poderi dal Nespoli. All About the Poderi dal Nespoli winery   The Poderi dal Nespoli winery is tucked into the rolling hills in the Romagna part of the region. Even though Emilia-Romagna is technically one region, they associate as two separate regions. If you’ve traveled throughout Italy you understand that each region has its own wi ne, cuisines and even dialect so these differences can be noticeable as you journey throughout th e country .   Romagna is about an hour drive north from
