Which Berry is in Gin?
The berry that gives gin its name and unmistakable flavour is the juniper berry, technically the seed cone of Juniperus communis. Without it, gin simply wouldn’t be gin. In fact, by UK and EU law, a spirit cannot be classified as gin unless juniper is its predominant botanical. What Is a Juniper Berry?

Why RTDs Have a 3 Year Shelf Life and What It Means for Retailers
Ready-to-Drink (RTD) beverages are built for the realities of modern retail. Unlike beer, which typically peaks within 9 to 12 months, RTDs remain stable for 24 to 36 months without losing flavor or quality. This long shelf life is not just a technical detail. It is a strategic advantage for retailers and importers. Longer dating means fewer product write-offs, more flexible logistics, and stronger profit margins. Consumers also benefit from consistent taste, portable packaging, and the reassurance that their purchase is dependable. In this article, we explore why RTDs last so long, the science behind their 3 year shelf life, and how businesses can leverage this advantage to reduce risk and capture new opportunities.

WeatherEye Vineyard & MTN/ART Wines
Ryan Johnson of WeatherEye Vineyard & MTN/ART Wines Ryan Johnson grew up making mischief with his art supplies. He excelled in art at school, and ended up majoring in it while at community college. Although he eventually shifted to a pre-med track with the goal of becoming an eye doctor, he has always turned to art as a form of self-expression. Just before enrolling in his pre-med classes in anatomy and physiology, a phone call changed his life. The caller was Jim Holmes, owner of Ciel du Cheval Vineyard on Red Mountain. He invited Ryan for a tour of the vineyard, and after driving around, he stopped his truck and asked Ryan to be his vineyard manager. That was the start of Ryan’s career on Red Mountain, which now spans roughly 25 years and multiple premier vineyards. The most recent is WeatherEye Vineyard , which some have called the most ambitious vineyard in the United States. The idea for WeatherEye began in 2004 when Cameron Myhrvold start

Wine Enthusiast Wine Star Environmental Advocate of the Year Award
“ Environmental Advocate of the Year Craig Camp Troon Vineyard | Grants Pass, OR In 2016, Craig Camp left his job in the Napa Valley and moved north to Oregon’s Applegate Valley, a quiet area near the California border. Under the Regenerative Organic Alliance’s mantra “farm like the world depends on it,” Camp cares for cider apples, hay fields, honey bees, sheep, chickens, dogs, and grape vines. Camp and the Troon Vineyard team are reviving old, overworked vineyards to make an example out of what responsible agriculture can produce, work that has earned Troon the title of the world’s only Demeter Biodynamic and Regenerative Organic Certified Gold winery. Camp’s deep commitment to fighting climate change extends to advocacy—he’s a member of the board of directors at the Biodynamic Demeter Alliance. ” — The Wine Enthusiast The Wine Enthusiast Wine Star Awards 2025 - click here for the complete list of nominees I could not be more honored to be nominated for the new Wine Enthusiast

Your Favorite Bartender’s Favorite Bar—Kitsch
The Best Drink Ever recently dropped into Kitsch Bar and found the whole place reborn. What was once a dimly lit hideout has been completely transformed. The new Kitsch Bar isn’t just open—it’s alive. Over the past year, the team stripped everything down to the studs and built it back with purpose. From the reimagined layout to the fresh design details, every corner hums with intention. And right in the center? A one-of-a-kind walk-around bar that feels less like a counter and more like a stage. This isn’t just a facelift. It’s a full-blown reinvention. A New Era of Kitsch The new Kitsch isn’t shy about what it wants to be: a bar that blends craft, chaos, and community in a way only Santa Ana can pull off. Entertainment on weekends? Locked in. Neighborhood crowd? Count on it. Cocktails that demand your attention? Always. Kitsch now hits that rare sweet spot—it’s the place you start your night, the place you end your night, and maybe the place you never leave. Cocktails, Theater,

Tribute Hollywood: Old School Vibes, New School Drinks
Hollywood is a circus—bright lights, tour buses, costumed hustlers hustling harder than ever. Tourists shuffle from one star on the Walk of Fame to the next, clinging to false hopes of catching a glimpse of a celebrity. But among all that noise, there’s one bar that doesn’t cater to the madness. It belongs to the locals. Tribute Hollywood . This place doesn’t pander, it remembers. The bones are heavy with history. The Silent Film Era flickered here. Later, Shelly’s Manne-Hole turned the space into a jazz sanctuary. Then Studio 3, where some of the greatest musicians of the 20th century laid down tracks that still live in your headphones. You feel it the moment you step in—the hum under your feet, the ghosts in the air. When The Best Drink Ever stopped in , we weren’t just here for a cocktail—we came to drink the story. And to do it right, we teamed up with 1921 Tequila Cream and Maria Bonita Mezcal , giving Raul Pool free rein to do what he does best: turn history into flavor. T

Big Nose Kate Whiskey: Honoring a Legend with Mel Heim
“Many great stories don’t come to life without great investors. Big Nose Kate has them in Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone.” The Wild West has no shortage of larger-than-life legends, but many of its most important figures have been overlooked or written out of history. One of those names is Big Nose Kate —a Hungarian immigrant, frontier woman, and survivor of the myths surrounding Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp. On this episode of Barrel Room Chronicles , host Kerry Moynahan sits down with Mel Heim , co-founder of Big Nose Kate Whiskey , to explore how history, myth, and modern craft whiskey come together to honor one of America’s forgotten icons. Who Was Big Nose Kate? Born Mary Katherine Horony, Big Nose Kate was no stranger to reinvention. She crossed oceans, survived the rough-and-tumble landscape of the Wild West, and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with gunslingers and gamblers. While her connection to Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp cemented her in folklore, s
