As it turns out, Bordeaux is home to some of my favorite wines. A week before leaving for France, I had a mental breakdown. I felt like a total imposter. I could feel parts of my French language skills slipping away, I felt alone and uninspired, I was going through a phase of burnout, and […]

Russian River to East River: Sharing West Sonoma County Wines with Gramercy Park’s Cultural Elite
Last week, I ventured from Halleck Vineyard Winery and Wine Tasting Room in Sonoma to the Sculptor Garden Room of the historic National Arts Club in Manhattan’s Gramercy Park to pour our California wines for a room full of artists, philanthropists, and musicians. It was my second Sonoma Wine Education Seminar at the club, and it was completely full—oversold, in fact. I designed this event with intention: shorter than a traditional vintner dinner, more welcoming to people with all levels of wine knowledge,…

Macallan: The Quiet Mastery of Highland Whisky
There’s a moment—often just after dusk, when the kettle’s boiled and the fire’s begun to settle into a glowing rhythm—when a dram of good whisky makes absolute sense. Not just as a drink, but as a punctuation mark to the day. A moment of stillness. Of reflection. And if that dram happens to be from […] The post Macallan: The Quiet Mastery of Highland Whisky appeared first on Cocktails and Shots .

Oh lord, a blog from Lodi—the 2025 farewell
Harvest morning in Mokelumne River-Lodi's Abba Vineyard, planted to Syrah. Farewell by Randy Caparoso Oh lord, a blog from Lodi was the title of the very first blog posted on the Lodi Wine page in August 2010, written by yours truly. Over 1,200 posts later, I think it is fitting that this should be the title of my very last post, as I will departing Lodi wine country in July of 2025. First, I’d like to thank all the region’s growers and vintners who have welcomed me into their community these past fifteen years. But also first, I need to thank you , Lodi Wine’s dear and patient readers who have indulged in this site’s continuous flights and forays into viticulture and vinification, farmers, winemakers and all the characters peppering the region’s past and present, the seemingly endless variety of grapes and equally varied wines, almost every iota of the dirt, topography, climate and natural or human circumstances—each and everything that has di

12x12 Review: Samuel Adams Beers of Summer Variety Pack
Beer Included: Summer Ale, Porch Rocker, American Light, Blueberry Lager Purchased: 31 May 2025 Price: $17.99 minus $5 rebate Initial Impressions I didn’t want to review two Samuel Adams 12-packs in a row but I won’t lie, scanning a QR code to receive a $5 rebate swayed me. I was probably going to pick this one up at some point; the rebate nudged me to do it now. Summer Ale was one of my gateway craft beers. I was so disappointed when Boston Beer Co changed the recipe, I brewed an OG Sam Summer Clone which was one of the best beers I have brewed to date. Over time I softened on the new recipe. A couple years back at a Malteurop Happy Hour at the Craft Brewers Conference, I put away quite a few Sam Summer. On Opening Day at Fenway this year, I didn’t care for this year’s version. Then a couple weeks later Summer Ale won a medal at the World Beer Cup. What do I know? Porch Rocker has never been my favorite shandy. I find it to be quite sweet. On the other hand I know a lot of people who
