Migrating from WineDirect to Commerce7: What Wineries Need to Know
Big news in the DTC wine world – Commerce7 has officially acquired WineDirect’s SaaS division. What does that mean? If you’re currently running your website and store on WineDirect, it’s time to start planning your next steps. But don’t stress – we’ve got a streamlined path forward, and in many cases, it’s easier (and more affordable) than you think. What’s Changing, and Why It Matters WineDirect is winding down its website platform and online store. So if your winery uses WineDirect for both your store and website, you’ll need a new site on a modern platform like WordPress or Squarespace, paired with a Commerce7 integration.

Whiskey Review: Hardin's Creek Jacob's Well Bourbon
Introduction Today, we’re diving into Hardin's Creek Jacob's Well , the premium expression from Beam’s Hardin's Creek line. This label is the first under Freddie Noe , whom we interviewed a few seasons ago. Freddie is leading this line, which includes Colonel James B. Beam , the younger-stock offering. But today, we're focusing on Jacob's Well , a blend of 15-year-old high-rye bourbon and 16-year-old traditional bourbon , averaging 15 years and 4 months . It comes in at 108 proof and retails for around $150 , putting it near the luxury bourbon threshold. Let's see if it lives up to the price tag. This review is taken from our episode " Godzilla Minus One (2023) / Hardin's Creek Jacob's Well Bourbon ." Click the link to listen to this review in audio format. Nose Bob: The color on this thing is a deep, rich amber—you can tell it's well-aged. I'm picking up some notes I don’t think I’ve ever gotten on a bourbon before. Lavender. It’s super delicate, ju

7 Ways Alcohol Affects Your Brain
In a society where alcohol is a highly popular substance, if you don’t drink, you probably know someone who does. You (or they) might have a beer or two after a long day at the office or a couple drinks during a night out with friends on the weekend. According to the 2023 National Survey […]

12x12 Review Samuel Adams Juicy IPA
Beer Included: Samuel Adams Juicy IPA Purchased: 2 May 2025 Price: $17.99 Initial Impression I first tasted Samuel Adams New England IPA Jamaica Plain taproom in Boston back in 2017. This was before the beer was packaged for national distribution. At the time I thought the beer was excellent and if Sam could make an IPA that good at a lower price point than smaller taproom-type breweries, they would be onto something. Would people still buy a $20 4-pack if they could buy something just as good for less in a 12-pack? My comment at the time was "If I can find this fresh in stores its a game changer". I first saw the new Juicy IPA at Fenway Park That beer was eventually released in four packs, and I remember liking it if not quite as much as that trial batch. Then Wicked Hazy was released and now Juicy IPA is here. Is this the same beer that has undergone a second rebrand? The ABV and IBU of all three beers are the same. That doesn’t mean the beers aren’t all different in some way.

Whisky Review: Glengoyne 15-Year Single Malt Scotch
Introduction We’re diving into something new (at least for us) today: Glengoyne 15-Year Single Malt Scotch . This Highland Scotch has been on our radar, and while we weren’t sure if we’d tried it before, the name just screams classic Scotch, so we were excited to finally sit down with it. Glengoyne 15 is, of course, a single malt made from 100% malted barley , and it clocks in at 43% ABV (86 proof) . The aging process is a mix of casks: 20% first-fill bourbon casks, 25% first-fill sherry casks, and 55% refill casks —a combination that had us curious to see what kind of depth and character it would bring to the glass. This review is taken from our episode " How to Train Your Dragon (2010) / Glengoyne 15 Year Scotch ." Click the link to listen to this review in audio format. Nose Brad: This is really beautiful on the nose. It reminds me of a nice fall apple cider, nutmeg, and there’s an almond nuttiness to it. It’s got that nice barley note on the nose

Blaufränkisch of Upstate New York's Finger Lakes Region
The Finger Lakes wine region of upstate New York has always held a special place in my heart. It’s the reason why I first started to get into wine from my annual visits I use to take to the region many years ago. Sadly, I haven’t been back since my first born was just a baby so I’m long overdue considering he is about to be 9 in a couple months. A friend and local fellow wine lover, Alison Miller of Artisan Wine Group , recently had a wine tasting girls' night at her house with Laura of the Wine Travelista , where our theme was the Finger Lakes wine region. We were also joined by our other wine loving friend, Laura of the WineTravelista. I was thrilled to revisit this beloved region. When our World Wine Travel writer's group’s theme this month was featuring lesser known regions, I immediately thought of the Finger Lakes for a couple reasons. One, because I’ve always been a big fan of this region, and two because of my recent wine tasting of the Blau

Who Knew That Meghan Sussex and I Had the Same Wine Taste
I’m one of those people that loves cooking and lifestyle shows - and sports. If they put it on Food Network, chances are, I’m going to watch it. I mean, they even got me to watch the Halloween-inspired “Last Bite Hotel” - which I loved! But, I didn’t have “With Love, Meghan” on my bingo card. I honestly didn’t even know about it. But then the internet blew up and the haters started hating, so I KNEW I was going to watch this show. But then I watched the second episode and it put me to sleep - twice. I was going to throw in the towel. But the more hate I read, the more determined I was to watch it. And you know what happened? But then she uncorked some wine and brought in Roy Choi for some fried chicken and I was all in! She just had to work out the kinks y’all! And hate all y'all want, but I'm going to try that single skillet spaghetti! And let me tell you, the Meghan Sussex wine game is strong! Meghan Sussex pouring one of my faves! Photo Credit | Netflix

The Hidden Persuaders in Wine Labels.
Originally published in 2015, this post is still relevant. Book covers and wine labels have much in common. They need to be creatively designed to successfully differentiate themselves from their competition. They battle at similar price points, they vie for the same buyers, and they are involved in shelf space warfare for the optimum location. At this point, all else is secondary, for if they do not seize one’s attention and trigger a buying impulse, then a customer is lost—potentially forever. Wine labels and their “hidden persuaders” have always fascinated me, particularly those with attention getting colors and graphics that go beyond the basic presentation of the producer’s name, logo and varietal grape (or appellation). I'm intrigued by their subtle, and often not so subtle, efforts to seize the gaze of roaming and inattentive eyes. Label designers have a number of variables at their disposal when they set out to stir an emotion and c
