It probably works more for wines the taster likes and finds interesting. “Love how the plush fruit integrates with a structured finish. Like that leather chair at your coffee shop. Immediately comforting but also will support you typing on your laptop for 2-3 hours.”

Totally agree - most wine nerds totally appreciate that for most people… it’s just “wine” and they just want a “warm blanket” or “cool dip in a pool”. It’s a path to an emotional place for people and that’s a great place to be.

Might be cool to smoke the cocktail with a cloche and infuse the whisky (maybe marshmallow) and chocolate bitters. Dip the marshmallow in chocolate and graham cracker crumbs for garnish.

I believe train to be a superior way to travel where appropriate. A 4 hour train is often equivalent to a 1 hr flight, but way less restrictive and more productive/fun

Very cool! Loved some of the whites in Douro and Vinho Verde they are experimenting with - aged Alvarinhos which were showing well too!

That Lamb looks more like Pork Belly - so succulent and rich! Lamb & hummus is new for me - but probably delicious! 🤤
What sherry did you drink with that?

I think there was a generation who liked Brett in their Bordeaux or South African reds.. but could that have been through familiarity more than preference?

Oh great news! Excited to see it age. I’ve had some historic 80s vintages in the 2000s but been a decade since I’ve had any botrytis wines

Great read - and very interesting in the business side to maintain the bulk markets. Especially for recruitment into wines generally. Curious how stark the quality difference in Aussie bulk is between $0.65 and $3 / litre

I’d say you’ll need a petition of the neighbourhood to take to your city councillor to support the request with city and push it through.

How were they? Have often wondered about aged Valpolicella but haven’t had convincing examples for aging yet

Interesting! How are they aging them - different barrel treatments (size/age?) or alternate options (concrete,etc)?
