The Wine Resistance: A New Wine Series About Culture, Climate, and People
I’ve been a little quieter than usual on my website and social channels these past months.Not because I had nothing to say — but because I was building something. For a long time now, I’ve been preoccupied by the state of the wine world. Wine has always lived through cycles of crisis and renewal. But today, the pressures feel unusually concentrated. Climate change is reshaping how and where wine can be grown. Consumption patterns are shifting, especially among younger generations. And public conversations around alcohol are increasingly reduced to binary, fear-based narratives that leave little room for nuance, culture, or lived experience. At the same time, many people feel pushed away from wine altogether — intimidated by its language, unsure of its place in their lives, worried about choosing or tasting “wrong.” And yet, everywhere I travel and work, I keep meeting people who are deeply engaged, thoughtful, and resilient. People who are adapting, rethinking, and refusing to let wine

A visit to the new Bosque River Taphouse in Stephenville
A flight of beers paired with the Hothead Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sando at Bosque River Taphouse (Photos © Brian Brown/Beer in Big D). This weekend, time was spent catching up on new facilities setting up somewhat outside the orbit of the immediate Dallas-Fort Worth area. One of these, Bosque River Taphouse of Stephenville, originally opened in a temporary space in late 2023. The company has since upgraded to an expansive new spot at 320 S. Harbin Dr., just south of the campus of Tarleton State University . Sean and Amanda Mosher form the duo behind the family-owned business, which completed the move to its new locale in May. The couple now operates the brewery and taproom in a 15,000 square foot building fronted by roughly 7,000 square feet of outdoor space and a sizable dedicated parking lot. On the inside, available area is divvied up between larger and smaller dining sections, the kitchen and the brewhouse, with the main dining room surrounded by more than a do

More food for thought
I hinted in my last post that I had seen my gastric consultant and there was much to think about. To recap, I had a tumour removed from my stomach in 2016 and it has caused me various problems ever since. The tumour shown in red above was removed but left the top of my stomach a thin pointed shape which now pokes through my diaphragm up into the oesophagus (foodpipe) and releases acid into my throat. This is called a hiatus hernia. The second problem is that on the stomach wall, where the tumour was, runs a nerve which tells the pyloric sphincter at the bottom of the stomach to open. In removing the tumour, that nerve was damaged and now the pyloric sphincter doesn't open easily to let the food out into the duodenum and on to the intestines. So again, food and acid builds up in my stomach. The medical term is "delayed gastric emptying" (DGE). When I have had to fast for a gastroscopy procedure, I have fasted for at least 18 hours and they have still found food in my stomach when
