When I pour a Pinot, I’m usually expecting something slow and graceful: lighter in body, bright with acidity, and rich with red-fruit notes of cherry, raspberry, maybe some wil.. Read More

Drinking: why are we in denial about the fun bit?
Picture by Mauricio Mascaro I was recently on the hunt for some good drinking anecdotes. My tasting events are built around a broader narrative from alcohol history, but without amusing tales and trivia, they’d be a bit dry for an audience getting steadily merry. So I googled "drinking stories". A bit vague, sure, but sometimes casting the net wide brings in a good catch.* It might not surprise you as much as it did me, but entertaining tales of mischief were not what the internet bestowed upon me. Nope. Instead, I found tales of woe, recovery, trauma, shame, and abuse - towards the self and others. In previous essays, I’ve explored the historically precedented conditions that have led us to a point where hedonism has become unfashionable. But I’m not interested today in the socio-economic reasons behind the decline in alcohol consumption. I want to talk about the attitude shift. Not “Why are people drinking less?” but “How has our attitude to it changed?” How is the decline in alcohol

Tasting Notes – Wyatt Earp 13-Year American Single Malt (Hazmat)
This is the first time I have reviewed a product from the World Whiskey Society, a relatively well-known bottler of self-proclaimed “ultra-premium” spirits, who is also known for its elaborate packaging and high price points.

This Costa Mesa Market Serves Up Drinks and Street‑Market Energy
The Best Drink Ever recently rolled into Mercado González with 1921 Tequila in tow, ready to drink in the whole scene—literally. This place isn’t just a market; it’s a living, breathing slice of Mexico dropped in the heart of Costa Mesa. The air is thick with the scent of roasting meat and simmering stews. Fresh tortillas stack high like edible currency. Families fill their carts with produce for Sunday dinner, while friends lean against counters inhaling street‑style tacos. Somewhere, a cumbia beat drifts through the markets. Mercado González is flavor, tradition, and community all crammed under one roof—and the kind of place that makes you hungry for everything at once. And tucked into one corner of this bustling mercado is Entre Nos , a craft cocktail bar that doesn’t feel like any other bar in Orange County. Mexa vibes.
