Reed ‘Lessons’ Semillon 2023
A half time image of my Coq au semillion. . . I keep returning to old recipes and making adjustments based on necessity (what’s in the fridge / pantry) and experience. In this case, semillion instead riesling; a teaspoon of sambal belacan for a homeopathic hint of heat; a handful of dried (and rehydrated) chanterelles in addition to a small bag of fresh button mushrooms; and much more homemade tomato paste for depth and warmth (a 400g tin of diced tomatoes, simmered with 4 cloves of garlic for 15 minutes before blending). I used the finished stew as a base for a rich chicken noodle soup. I’ve developed an obsession with Shanxi pulled noodles (the store bought ones by Havista, I have no inclination to make my own). They are impressive - 3cm wide and extra long, like a super chewy pappardelle. Reed ‘Lessons’ Semillon 2023 . Spring Creek, Torquay, Victoria. 12%. An ectopic, but very interesting semillon. Barrel fermented in a blend of old and new oak. It’s pale, but with more

Madeira: The Fortified Wine That Defies Time
Introduction How long would the Madeira linger? Such was the impact and intensity of Barbeito’s 1988 Madeira Sercial that I decided to time the duration of the wine on my palate. The finish lasted several minutes, largely thanks to the wine’s darting, arrow-like acidity. The three-decade-old wine reflected the essence of fine Madeira: refreshing […] The post Madeira: The Fortified Wine That Defies Time appeared first on Cellar Tours .

Why Aren’t Young People Drinking Like We Did? - A history of hedonism
Roman hedonism Among those of us in hospitality and drinks, the question of why young people are drinking less has become a post-lockdown obsession. Every week, there’s another post or panel trying to crack the code of Gen Z messaging. But this trend has little to do with features & benefits, branding, or curated personal brands. It has everything to do with the socio-economic climate we all live in - and which younger generations feel more intensely. Yes, camera phones and social media have made public intoxication riskier - few want a drunken moment to be immortalised online. But that only matters when there’s a cultural desire to get drunk in the first place. This isn’t just about being watched, it’s about not feeling like partying. It’s tempting to think that hard times push people towards intoxication as escapism. But hedonism flourishes in stable times, not chaotic ones. People have always drunk and taken recreational drugs, but when safety, affluence, and optimism return, intoxi

Whiskey Review: West Fork Bottled-in-Bond Wheated Bourbon
Introduction Today, we're checking out West Fork's Bottled-in-Bond Wheated Bourbon , a 100-proof expression from a rising Indiana craft distillery. West Fork Whiskey Co., founded in 2014 by three Indiana natives, distills its own products rather than sourcing from the state's better-known juggernaut, MGP. This bottle is their flagship four-year-old bourbon, produced in accordance with the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. That means it comes from a single distilling season, aged at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof. The mash bill, courtesy of Breaking Bourbon, is 73% corn, 17% wheat, and 10% rye—a slightly higher rye content than we expected from a wheated bourbon. This was our first experience with West Fork Whiskey, and we were excited to see how it stacked up. Nose Brad: This smells very young to me. It has the craft vibe, which sometimes is good, sometimes not. I smell sawdust and corn and youth—like a street youth. 6/10 Bob:

A weekend on the Westside Wine Trail

Whiskey Review: Ezra Brooks Distiller’s Collection Bourbon
We’re back with another entry from Lux Row Distillers , this time diving into the E zra Brooks Distiller’s Collection —a high rye bourbon whiskey that clocks in at 107 proof. We’ve previously tried Ezra Brooks 99 , Old Ezra 7 Year , and the standard Ezra Brooks , but this Distiller’s Collection is a special small-batch release. It comes out every few weeks in batches of just 30–40 cases, often hand-selected by Lux Row’s master distiller or designated team members. We’ve long been fans of the Rebel Distiller’s Collection (Lux Row’s wheated bourbon line), but we’ve had more mixed experiences with Ezra Brooks. Could this one change our minds? Let’s dive in. Nose Brad: The first thing that hit me was how astringent it came across. It mellowed a bit with time and revealed some caramel, black pepper, and a hint of red apple. But that sharp astringency never fully faded for me. Score: 6.5/10 Bob: I got a totally different

A guide to the wines of the Rhone region
A GUIDE TO THE WINES OF THE RHONE REGION AN OVERVIEW OF RHONE WINES This blog post on Rhône wines, the first in a series, can only be an overview – the Rhône wine region is huge and the range of Rhône wines so varied that it is impossible to cover it all in one relatively short article. This guide covers Northern Rhone wines, Southern Rhone wines and their differences, Rhone wine labelling, what Cote du Rhone wines are and the general style of the region’s wines. Since 81% of Rhône Valley wines are red, I’ll focus on red Rhone wines – with the Rhone’s white and rosé wines to be covered at a later date (whites are 6% of production with rosé 13%). The terms Rhône and Rhone are used interchangeably in this blogpost. RHONE WINE STATISTICS First some figures about Rhone wine: there are over 5000 wine-growing businesses in 28 Rhône wine appellations using one or more of 27 permitted grape varieties to produce 3 million hectolitres for c. 372 million bottles of wine* – and that’s ignoring any
