Valentine’s Day Amore: Sharing Luigi Righetti Amarone della Valpolicella
Valentine’s Day doesn’t always mean red roses and candlelit dinners with that special someone. For me, this year, I celebrated an early Valentine’s Day in a very special way , with the woman who taught me what love was all about , my mom. My family and I surpris ed her for her birthday, bringing dinner and dessert while enjoying a special bottle of a 2004 Luigi Righetti Amarone Della Valpolicella . As we pulled the cork on this 20-year-old bottle, I couldn’t help but think of all the memories we shared over the years including our travels to this special region of the Veneto where Amarone Della Valpolicella is produced, although this wasn‘t one of the bottles that we brought back with us . I’m actually still sitting on those and it’s been quite a while since we traveled there together. More to come on those gems. Luigi Righetti winery Luigi Righetti winery is located in Valgatara , within the Valpolicella Classico zone , just ou

Heaven Hill 90th Anniversary Bourbon Review: Just Another Premium Dupe?
“Nothing more completely baffles one who is full of trick and duplicity than straightforward and simple integrity in another.” – Charles Caleb Colton Did you think this was another one of those legendary Heaven Hill Heritage Collection releases at first glance?

Ska Brewing Brings West Coast IPA Back—With a Modern Hop Twist
Ska Brewing is stepping back into West Coast IPA territory—but they’re not just revisiting the past. They’re modernizing it. Starting this week, Ska West Coast IPA is officially hitting shelves across multiple states, marking the Durango brewery’s bold return to a style that helped define American craft beer. The beer debuted over Super Bowl weekend at Ska’s World Headquarters in Colorado, and now it’s rolling out year-round on draft and in cans across Colorado, Arizona, Kansas, New Mexico, and Utah. For those who have followed Ska Brewing over the years, this move feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Ska was home to Colorado’s OG canned IPA, Modus Hoperandi—a beer that embodied the original West Coast IPA vibe: dank aromatics, assertive bitterness, amber color, and a full-bodied backbone. That was the era of palate-wreckers and unapologetic IBUs. But today’s West Coast IPA has evolved—and Ska’s new release reflects that shift. Ska West Coast IPA leans into the modern interpretat
