Yakima Valley Vintners
Trent Ball and Annette Wattenbarger of Yakima Valley Vintners Student wines from Yakima Valley College’s wine program have won more prestigious Platinum Awards than wines from any other college program in the Pacific Northwest. The YVC program began in 2007, and is grounded in hands-on educational experiences that prepare students for a variety of jobs in the wine industry. Classes are held in the evening so that students can continue to hold full or part-time jobs during their studies. Students can pursue certificates in such things as wine sales, or Associate Degrees in Vineyard and Winery Technology. Facilities include an on-campus vineyard and winery at the Grandview campus, and tasting rooms at both the Grandview and Yakima campuses known as Yakima Valley Vintners . The Yakima tasting room is next door to the Larson Gallery, and the two often partner on events. Trent Ball was hired in 2006 to help design the facilities and curriculum. He is curr

At Coppercraft, great bourbon starts with respect for tradition. Grain, barrel, and time form the foundation of our Straight Bourbon Whiskey. But tradition can be a springboard for exploration, and our new special finish bourbons are an example of that.

November 2025
Bindi Quartz 2024 . Peaches and sunshine. Marzipan and almond meal, pollen and a thread of cordite. Clean and pulsing with energy. Fleshy and bold in the mouth; generous, with baking spices and warmth . V. Good, and yet I hesitate to post a tasting note. . . the longer the gaps, the more my self doubt. . . I open a second and then a third bottle to triple check. . . and I come to a similar conclusion each time, it’s an excellent Chardonnay, and yet my words seem incomplete. The oak treatment is subtle - lending a background richness and understated polish; the acids wonderful; lots of layers and finesse; restraint and beauty. In between the three Bindi I sample a few glasses of 2016 Cullen ‘Kevin John’ Chardonnay . It’s much more mature (obviously), golden and nutty, laden with figs and spice. Rounded and cuddly, the tension replaced with softness. Good - Very. A further counterpoint is the 2018 Frankland Isolation Ridge Riesling . Sharp and bright, but starting to t

Whisky Review: Johnnie Walker Black Label Blended Scotch
Each week on the Film & Whiskey Podcast, we crack open a classic movie and a new bottle of whiskey. This time, we’re revisiting an old favorite that somehow never made it to the review table: Johnnie Walker Black Label Blended Scotch . Bob was convinced we had reviewed it before, probably because we’ve always compared it favorably to Red Label. But to our surprise, this is the first time we’re officially reviewing it. Johnnie Walker Black Label is a blended Scotch whisky bottled at 40% ABV and aged 12 years. Unlike Red Label, which carries no age statement and is clearly intended for mixing, Black Label sits comfortably at the $35 price point and promises a more refined experience. So, how does it stack up against our usual blended Scotch benchmarks like Monkey Shoulder and Chivas Regal? This review is taken from our episode "Hanksgiving VI: Catch Me if You Can / Johnnie Walker Black Label." Click the link to listen to this review in audio format. Nose Brad : Yeah

Orange wine is having a moment—and Atlanta is embracing it
Though many consider it a recent fad, orange wine is actually crafted using an ancestral technique first developed centuries ago in Georgia (the Eastern European country). Propelled by a renewed global interest in low-intervention, low-impact wine practices, which the style often aligns with, orange wine is undergoing a resurgence, especially in Atlanta.
