Farm Life
The foundation of Biodynamic farming is that the farm itself is a living organism. Every living element of the farm intertwines to become one. We tend to focus on plants, wildlife, and soil, but the humans who work the farm are part of the energy that makes each farm distinct. Work on a Biodynamic farm flows with the seasons. During the cold and damp of winter, we repair and prepare for the growing season. Then, as the weather warms and the buds burst, the labor required also explodes. More help is needed, not just simple labor, but strong backs willing to work with the intentionality that connects Biodynamic farming to the power of nature itself. That is why we have an intern program at Troon Vineyard & Farm. Now, interns will join the farm team during the summer months. We have had wine harvest interns for many years, as it is part of an aspiring winemaker’s education to work harvests at many wineries as they hone their skills. We are excited to offer a similar program to aspiring Bi

Rising temperatures could transform B.C. wine sector
Climate change could improve grape-growing conditions for the province—at a cost British Columbia’s vineyards could see the number of grape-growing days spike over the next 75 years, with climate change transforming conditions into something closer to Spain’s Rioja region or the Sonoma Valley in California, a new study has found.

Prestige Alcohol Brands Are Difficult to Build — and All Too Easy to Ruin
It was the evening after my wedding in New Orleans — ages ago — and the core crew of our leftover revelers had descended upon a relaxing Marigny haunt to unwind in style before the impending crash back to our respective realities. “Johnnie Black on the rocks,” I said to the barkeep. “Scratch that,” my brother quickly interrupted. “He’ll take the Macallan 25, neat.” The barman stretched for the gloriously toffee-hued bottle lording over the back bar as my brother turned his sly signature grin my direction. “Relax!

Whiskey Review: Eagle Rare 17-Year (2024) Bourbon
Introduction For the second time this season, we're reviewing Eagle Rare 17-Year. That alone is wild—after nine seasons of the podcast without ever getting our hands on a bottle, we've now had it twice in one season. Buffalo Trace has somehow let us into their good graces, despite everything Brad has said about them over the years. This is the 2024 edition of Eagle Rare 17, which officially released in fall 2023 as part of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection (BTAC). Earlier this season, we reviewed the 2023 edition, which Brad rated as one of the best whiskeys he’s ever had on the podcast—an astonishing 45.5/50 score. So, this release has a lot to live up to. A few key stats: Age : 17 years, 4 months Proof : 101 (50.5% ABV) Evaporation Loss : 86% (only 14% of the original liquid survived maturation) With all that in mind, let’s dive into the 2024 Eagle Rare 17 and see how it stacks up. This review is taken from our episode " Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood (201

Why Flavor is important – Dreaming in flavor, one sip at a time.
I’m fortunate to have a photographic memory for tastes and scents. This helps me in mixology because I’m influenced not by fast food flavors, but ones on a global basis. You see, when one spends a good amount of time traveling and not eating in American hotels, you tend to learn something about flavor and […]

Every Major Spirit Category and Its Base Ingredient [Infographic]
Although cask aging, different types of stills, blending, and numerous other factors dictate the profile and quality of a finished spirit, the creation of any alcoholic beverage begins with fermentation. Some form of sugar in the base liquid is exposed to yeast, which converts those sugars into ethanol. Sugars are simple carbohydrates that can be found in everything from fruits and potatoes to various plants and cereal grains. And the type of base ingredients distillers use varies from spirit to spirit. The article Every Major Spirit Category and Its Base Ingredient [Infographic] appeared first on VinePair .

AI is a Crisis Point for Writers, Artists and Photographers
The original title for this post was “Your AI Can Art Looks Like Shit” and I will tell you, with absolute sincerity, that it really does. The same point was made by writers Jessica Boak and Ray Bailey in one of their recent newsletters , so it felt pertinent to give this topic a fresher angle. I’ll reiterate their point though: it really does look like shit. Your customers most probably think that too. What does it say about the beer you sell when you’ve demonstrated you’re willing to put next to zero effort into how it's presented? On reflection, I felt that it might be more productive to take a more pragmatic approach. Instead of wagging a finger, it’s better I offer an explanation, and potentially even a solution to the encroachment of generative AI (or to call it what it really is, scrapeware) within the creative sector. Put simply: it’s fucking us, hard. Every time you see a beer brand or hospitality business use a scrapeware generated image to advertise what they’re selling, that
