Three quarters of a century
Yesterday saw me celebrating my birthday. A milestone one at that. I am now officially 75 or in other words three quarters of a century. A 1950 vintage and so far doing OK. People keep telling me I don't look 75 but younger. I'm not sure if they're just being kind or need to go to Specsavers! I was going to tell you that we caught the train to a Medway town I have never been to and was interested in seeing it, as it has an old castle and a house where Charles Dickens lived. Unfortunately the weather proved far too wet and cold to tramp around outside for a whole day and furthermore I had a flare-up of my on-going stomach problem where I feel as if I have been punched in the chest. Also, because, Kay is stressed and preoccupied with a forthcoming exam in 3 days' time, I decided it was best all round if we aborted the trip and I took to my bed and rested while Kay revised at her house. In the late afternoon, I rallied a bit and we met up and ventured out to see th

Whiskey Review: Pursuit United Triple Mash Rye Barrel Proof
Introduction We’re diving into a whiskey that comes with a bold claim: Pursuit United Triple Mash Rye Barrel Proof, a small batch blend from the team behind Bourbon Pursuit, is being pitched as a Whiskey of the Year contender. That’s a high bar, and we’re more than happy to judge it on those terms. This bottle clocks in at 121.8 proof , uncut and unfiltered. It's a blend of three rye whiskeys from two different distilleries: A 95/5 rye from Bardstown Bourbon Company A 95/5 rye and a 52/43/5 mashbill rye (rye/corn/malted barley) from Sagamore Spirit Let’s see how this bold blend stacks up. Nose Brad: This one is like baking spices and caramel and rye and sweet mint. It almost reminds me of the burnt marshmallows on top of a sweet potato casserole. It's got that marshmallow caramelized mallow vibe that you know I'm digging. This is a 9.5/10 . Bob: This smells like my favorite kind of bourbon, but I know that it’s a rye, so it’s going to have even more

Carmenère: Chile’s signature grape & wine
Carmenère: Chile’s signature grape & wine You would not be surprised to learn that Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and other well-known grape varieties are popular search terms on the Wines With Attitude website. However, one of the most searched-for varieties is Carmenère (pronounced car-mun-air), a rather more obscure, though distinctive, black grape variety. Part of the reason for its low profile is that Carmenère accounts for only a tiny proportion of the total world wine grape production. In addition it has long been the source of mystery and misidentification. In fact the grape was almost extinct and was only rediscovered many years later, in the late 20th century, on a different continent having long been mistaken for another grape. So why is Carmenère such a popular search term? Let’s delve into the mysterious Carménère and find out where it is grown, what kind of wines it produces, what it tastes like and why you should make it a part of your wine repertoire. The Ca

Yakima Valley Vintners
Trent Ball and Annette Wattenbarger of Yakima Valley Vintners Student wines from Yakima Valley College’s wine program have won more prestigious Platinum Awards than wines from any other college program in the Pacific Northwest. The YVC program began in 2007, and is grounded in hands-on educational experiences that prepare students for a variety of jobs in the wine industry. Classes are held in the evening so that students can continue to hold full or part-time jobs during their studies. Students can pursue certificates in such things as wine sales, or Associate Degrees in Vineyard and Winery Technology. Facilities include an on-campus vineyard and winery at the Grandview campus, and tasting rooms at both the Grandview and Yakima campuses known as Yakima Valley Vintners . The Yakima tasting room is next door to the Larson Gallery, and the two often partner on events. Trent Ball was hired in 2006 to help design the facilities and curriculum. He is curr
