Mokelumne River AVA: Exploring Lodi's Largest and Most Historic Viticultural Area
Classic plus-100-year-old Zinfandel growing on its own natural roots in deep, rich yet porous, sand dune-like soil typifying much of the east side of the Mokelumne River-Lodi AVA As we continue our journey through Lodi's wine history during California Wine Month, we turn our focus to the largest and most historic of the region's seven nested sub-appellations: the Mokelumne River AVA. Spanning an impressive 85,700 acres with over 40,000 acres of planted wine grapes, this viticultural area represents the historic heart of Lodi winemaking and houses nearly all of the region's wine production facilities. Named for the river that flows from the Sierra Nevada through the appellation—originally derived from the Miwok phrase meaning "the place of the fish net"—the Mokelumne River AVA tells the story of California viticulture itself. From century-old, own-rooted Zinfandel vines planted in the 1880s to modern plantings of over 100 different grape varieties, this appellation showcases

Whiskey Review: Old Overholt 4-Year Straight Rye Whiskey
For this week's episode of Film & Whiskey , we’re revisiting one of America’s oldest whiskey labels: Old Overholt. This rye whiskey, recently updated to include a four-year age statement and bottled at 86 proof, is an evolution of the brand we last tasted back in 2020. That previous version was 80 proof and blended, with the oldest whiskey being only three years old. Now owned by Suntory as part of the Jim Beam portfolio, Old Overholt has seen multiple refreshes, including bottled-in-bond and 114-proof versions. But today, we’re keeping it simple and reviewing the newly standardized 86-proof, 4-year straight rye. We picked up a one-liter bottle for about $21 in Kentucky, while a 750ml runs around $20 in Ohio. That makes this one of the most affordable straight ryes on the market. But how does it hold up in the glass? Nose Brad : I like the nose on this. It's all sorts of sweet mint, like a sweet mint-flavored gum. There's vanilla frosting on it. It's not overly co

Old Friends: Leffe Blonde
Dipping into some of the dimmest and most distant of crevices in my drinking memories today for this resurrection of my Old Friends series. Back in the days when I was a college student in Birmingham, I got the train from New Street early one Saturday morning to go to Esher in Surrey. The main purpose for the trip was to spend the day at the Sandown races with my eldest brother, who lived down that way back then. Having spent the day frittering money away on thoroughbreds of varying uselessness, we headed into central London for dinner at a non-descript curry house, non-descript in the sense that I don't have the foggiest as to what I ate, but weirdly 2 beers are lodged in my memory, the Żywiec I was drinking and the Leffe Blonde that was my brother's choice that night. Being a good younger brother, by 8 years, I was suitably in awe of his sophistication and worldly wiseness, and so at some point back in Brum I made a point of trying Leffe, in the comfort of the All Bar One. Given that

One Year Later...
I woke up this morning, knowing it's been exactly 1 year since the last time I indulged my inner drunk and had way too many pints, topped off with a big old glass of whiskey. One year since I could barely breathe after going up a flight of stairs or walking to my car and one year since my resting heart rate was somewhere around 170 beats per minute. In those 365 days, I have not let go of reality even once. No slip ups or "accidents", never having more than 2 beers in a single day and no hard liquor of any kind. Part of this is predicated by all the medications I'm on to help control blood pressure and keep my heart from running itself out of beats before my time is supposed to be up. But the other part has become a battle of internal monologues, each vying for supremacy and each with some good points to be made. On one side, we've got the good times Polk, the dr

Time to Let it Go...
An appropriate us for my growlers now, I suppose... I've come to a crossroads in my life and while this particular intersection may seem a little silly, it feels like a momentous, albeit small, decision going forward. I have a lot of beer paraphernalia, bottles and clothing. Mostly bottles and cans I've saved from all the thousands I've tried, about 500 or so that line the shelves and walls of my basement, along with many signs and pictures, various knick-knacks and mementos of the last decade of my life. Here's the thing though, I don't know if they speak to me anymore. I don't know that what they used to represent is what or who I am now and I wonder, quite seriously, if hanging onto these things is holding me back from the next evolution in my life. I know that in the end of it all, they are just things, collectibles to me and my memories and not really necessary to the times they represent. But looking around as the NFL season begins and hoc

Raising a Glass to Texas Wine Month – 2025 Edition
I swear I blinked and we were halfway through September. I'll wake up tomorrow and it will be Christmas. That's how fast time seems to be going. My grandmother always told me that time seems to pass quicker the older you get. Yep. Anywho, this time of year means it's time for Texas Wine Month. And since it lands in October, it coincides with #ComeOnOctober month. Cheers to drinking and celebrating Texas wine in October and all throughout the year. Come Over October is a global campaign celebrated in October that encourages wine drinkers to invite friends, colleagues, neighbors, and family to “come over” to a home, a restaurant, a winery or wherever people gather to share wine and fellowship. It's meant to pay homage to wine’s 9,000-year history as a communal beverage that brings people together. Given the pressure that the wine industry has been under, I love the message behind this campaign. Wine has been enjoyed for millennia (in moderation by most) and has been a celebrated wa

9/19/25: Wandering Monsters Brewery's Ludwig
Today's beer is one I picked up on a whim this week (meaning it wasn't originally slated for this month!). Michelle and I took the time to finally head to Wandering Monsters, one of the newest breweries in our area. I had a pour of their Oktoberfest and enjoyed it so much that I nabbed a few bottles of it to bring home. Yes, this isn't the first time I'm drinking Ludwig. However, I'm excited to sit and really mull it over. Will I like it as much from the bottle as I do on tap? Let's find out! Wandering Monsters opened their doors in Cincinnati's Anderson Township in July, 2023 (man, it took us a good damn while to get over to them!). It's headed by Jason Brewer, who worked at the now-(unfortunately-)defunct Listermann Brewing Company before branching out to found Wandering Monsters. The brewery's truly family friendly (unlike other breweries that claim to be but really aren't). Zac Boehnke, the brewing mastermind at also now-defunct Braxton Labs, is Wandering Monsters' head b
