Whether you listen or watch us, make sure that you subscribe, become members. And then also on the audio podcast, leave us a five-star review and good feedback.A winter pour that overdelivers on comfort and undercuts the hype—this one is built for a crackling fire, a plate of bourbon balls, and friends who want something easy but not empty. We open Jim Beam Winter Reserve, a six-year bourbon finished in two toasted barrels, and put it through our full Old Louisville barrel bottle breakdown: nose, body, taste, finish, and a final score that surprised even us. Expect light aromatics, a fuller-than-expected body for 86 proof, a toasted marshmallow and vanilla core, and a finish that whispers more than roars.We get specific about where this bottle fits. If you crave caramel and vanilla over heat and tannin, Winter Reserve hits the lane. It's a crowd-pleaser for holiday parties, a gentle introduction for new bourbon drinkers, and a secret weapon in an old fashioned. We share why the double-toasted approach amplifies dessert notes without turning cloying, and how a simple cocktail build—orange peel, bitters, Demerara—lets those flavors shine. This is the pour you can sip, serve, and still feel good about the price.Along the way, we talk real-world value. Does a $26 bottle earn shelf space next to allocated heavy hitters? We compare against Beam Double Oak, Early Times Bottled-in-Bond, and Benchmark picks, and talk aging quirks, warehouse heat, and why price rarely scales with pleasure. We close with our final score—9.5/18—and the key takeaway: not every winter winner needs to be rare. Some just need to be right.If you enjoy honest tastings, budget-friendly recommendations, and practical cocktail tips, hit follow, share this with a bourbon friend, and drop us a review with your favorite winter sipper.

Regulations, Water Challenges, and the 2026 Outlook: Roger Isom on the AgNet News Hour In this Thursday edition of the AgNet News Hour, Nick Papagni and Lorrie Boyer sit down with Roger Isom, a leading voice in California agriculture. The conversation covers critical challenges and opportunities for growers, including regulatory pressures, water scarcity, rising energy costs, and strategies for advocacy heading into 2026. Advocacy and Grassroots Engagement Active participation in agriculture advocacy is essential. Growers and farm suppliers are encouraged to engage with legislators and county supervisors. Joining industry organizations strengthens collective influence: Western Tree Nut Association (WTNA): wtna.org California Cotton Ginners and Growers Association (CCGGA): ccgga.org 2026 is an election year—growers need to be heard in policy and voting decisions. Regulatory Challenges Rodenticide restrictions: Proposed DPR rules may limit usage, affecting food safety and crop protection. Sustainable pest management: Phase-out of priority pesticides by 2050 raises concerns about balanced advisory representation. Automation hurdles: Driverless tractors face restrictions under OSHA rules, despite driverless cars operating freely. Increasing paperwork burdens take time away from actual farming. Water, Energy, and Affordability Pressures Groundwater restrictions are enforced ahead of SGMA 2040 benchmarks. Funding gaps prevent critical infrastructure development for water conveyance and storage. Rising PG&E rates threaten farm operations: Proposed 27% electricity hike California agricultural rates up to 3x higher than Texas Solar payback periods under NEM 3.0 now nearly 20 years. The Future of California Agriculture Population loss and migration of growers to states like Texas and Idaho. Regulatory and energy burdens threaten long-term agricultural viability. Advocacy, voter engagement, and unified industry action are critical to protecting California agriculture. Wine Industry Insights Younger generations are drinking less wine due to cost, health, lifestyle, and cannabis alternatives. Wine marketing must emphasize storytelling, tasting experiences, and approachable options. Sampling and education about varietals, winemakers, and history can grow consumer appreciation. In today's episode of the AgNet News Hour, host Nick Papagni (The Ag Meter) and co-host Lorrie Boyer wrapped up a lively discussion on the changing landscape of wine consumption and what the wine industry can do to engage new generations of drinkers. Younger Consumers: Price, Health, and Lifestyle Drive Decisions Lorrie explained that younger adults are drinking less wine for several reasons—cost being a major factor. Many prioritize health, career, or school, while others prefer non-alcoholic beverages now trending in breweries and restaurants. She noted that wineries may need to expand into non-alcoholic options, just as beer companies have. Experience Over Alcohol: What Today's Drinkers Want Nick and Lorrie agreed that modern consumers focus more on experiences than alcohol volume. Craft cocktails, tasting-room visits, and curated beverage moments continue to capture interest. At the same time, the overwhelming number of wine choices can intimidate new drinkers, especially when bottle prices are high. The Value of Tasting and Storytelling Lorrie shared her personal love for wine tasting—trying small pours, exploring Cabernet and Zinfandel, and discovering new favorites based on food, mood, and weather. She emphasized that winery visits are about more than wine: Meeting the winemaker Learning the history Hearing the story behind each bottle Nick added that “every bottle has a story,” underscoring why wine remains a unique and powerful part of agriculture. Wrapping Up Nick and Lorrie closed the episode with excitement for upcoming holiday-themed content and encouraged listeners to return tomorrow for more ag news, insights, and seasonal fun.

In this new Tasting Talk session, Dan and Dave dig into a compelling bottle from Bainbridge Organic Distillers: the Battle Point Wheat Whiskey finished in Hokkaido Mizunara Casks.They explore how Bainbridge takes its organic wheat whiskey and finishes it in Hokkaido-grown Mizunara oak, creating a whiskey that blends tropical warmth with the famed incense-spice character of Japanese Mizunara. Expect them to break down:​Aromas: vanilla cream soda, and that signature Mizunara temple incense​Palate: sandalwood , toasted coconut from the Mizunara influence, and big creamy vanilla notes​Finish: long, viscous, warming, with lingering oak spice​Overall impressions: Does this Bainbridge expression push the Battle Point line into new territory?Dan and Dave compare tasting notes, debate the dominant flavors, and deliver their verdict on whether this bottle earns a spot on your shelf. They also talk about how the western U.S. is churning out exceptional single grain whiskeys. Hint: because a lot of it's grown in the west!

No/Lo spirits, wine, cider, and beer have been "trending" for many years now.  The search for wine and beer replacements has always been there.  A number of producers began to find results after they made their wine and beer, then stripped the alcohol out and substituted the taste with other elements. Fruit, tea, spices, etc.  Suddenly, some of the replacements tasted even better than the originals.   Kurtis Kolt, sommelier and wine educator, wine judge, and co-founder of Top Drop Vancouver, has organized a second Free Spirit Vancouver.      The first was in January of this year, when he hosted 10 vendors pouring, collectively, just under 20 brands. Monday, Dec 8, 630-830, Heritage Hall  3102 Main Street Free Spirit Vancouver will have almost 60 producers pouring no/lo.   That, my friends,  is called "Trending" with a capital T.   Please check out the free spirit link below to see the producers' list and to follow along with Kurtis Kolt's interview. Be sharp, he motors through a lot of labels and tastes.   Merry no/lo Holidays     www.freespiritvancouver.com  www.kurtiskolt.com  https://www.kurtiskolt.com/p/free-spirit-a-sauv-blanc-duo-featuring   Original feature can be found on www.TastingRoomRadio.com

The Kairos origin story began as the culmination of another journey. Over a decade ago I made the decision to source my meat directly from a rancher. We were going halves on a cow before your neighbor thought it was cool. The next step was a journey that took years of learning how to hunt, successfully harvesting my first big game animal and sharing the story with my friends and family.

This episode features a live audience tasting and conversation at The VIne Club in Atlanta, GA with winemaker Rajat Parr of Phelan Farm in Cambria, CA. Rajat first made an appearance on the show in May of 2024 for Episode 128 where we talked about the ethos of Phelan Farm and his dedication to regenerative farming and soil health. For this conversation, we incorporated a live blind tasting session with an audience of fellow wine professionals in Atlanta, and Rajat guides us through the lineup with thoughtful insight. He also provides information about his current farming practices along with advice for those of us working in various roles throughout the wine industry right now about how to most effectively connect our customers to the place where the wine is produced. We hope you feel the energy in the room as much as we did, and this whole experience was made possible thanks to our friends at Rive Gauche Wine Co. You can learn more about Rajat's wines by visiting www.phelanfarm.com and following @phelanfarmcambria and @rajatparr on Instagram.Recorded November 18, 2025 at The Vine Club in Atlanta, GA.-----------------*NEW* Check out our ⁠MERCH SHOP⁠ to support the show

We then explore the side dishes and vegetables of God's blessings and sanctifying work, even in seasons of struggle and uncertainty.

This week the crew kicks off a new Table Wine mini-series with a surprise twist. Joel, Aaron, and Colin open not one but two bottles from Bollini: a 2024 Pinot Grigio and a 2023 Merlot. The goal is simple. Find affordable, crowd friendly wines you can set on the holiday table without overthinking a thing.The trio talks through what makes a true table wine, why ABV matters more than you think, and how the 20-20 rule keeps both reds and whites tasting their best. They dig into Bollini's story, the Dolomites, and why this producer leans on clean, stainless steel winemaking to let their fruit speak for itself.From pear and green apple freshness in the Pinot Grigio to cherry, strawberry, and a touch of spice in the Merlot, the team breaks down both bottles with their usual blend of curiosity and chaos. Expect friendly debates, plenty of quaffable energy, and a few unexpected detours involving weddings, grocery store wines, and silent haircuts.If you're figuring out what to bring to Thanksgiving or just want a couple of budget friendly options that won't derail dinner, this episode has you covered.Learn more about Bollini WineBollini Websitehttp://bollini.wine/Connect with the show.

Episode Description (Apple & Spotify)Volcanic wines are among the most distinctive on earth, and no one unpacks their character quite like John Szabo, MS. Author of Volcanic Wines: Salt, Grit and Power, critic at WineAlign, and long-time explorer of lava-born terroirs, John covers what makes a wine “volcanic,” why these bottles often taste more savory and saline than fruity, how regions like Santorini, Etna, Washington, Oregon, Lake County, Moon Mountain, and Tokaj fit into the picture, and where to hunt for compelling bottles now. We also discuss Santorini's drought/over-tourism pressure, a new Volcanic Origin certification, and the rise of dry Furmint from Hungary.

How did a magical Dom Pérignon Champagne tasting of 60 rare vintages reveal the surprising depth and aging potential of sparkling Rosé? What surprising role did the British play in the discovery of sparkling wine? What makes the Porn Star Martini one of the most crowd-pleasing cocktails? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Elva Ramirez, author of the award-winning books "Sparkling" and "Zero Proof." You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks.   Giveaway Three of you are going to win a copy of Elva Ramirez's terrific book, Sparkling: Champagne and Sparkling Cocktails for Any Occasion. To qualify, all you have to do is email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and let me know that you've posted a review of the podcast. I'll choose two people randomly from those who contact me. Good luck!   Highlights What happened when Elva accidentally triggered an alarm at Veuve Clicquot's private estate in France? How did her career as a Wall Street Journal reporter lead her into the world of cocktails and Champagne? How did years working in restaurants teach Elva to "speak bartender" and shape her storytelling style? What was it like attending an exclusive Dom Pérignon Rosé dinner featuring decades of rare vintages? What did that tasting reveal about how aged Rosé Champagne evolves and expresses itself over time? How does Elva's book, Sparkling, showcase the creativity of world-class bartenders and Champagne houses? What surprising history did she uncover about who truly discovered sparkling wine? Why did Champagne dominate New York's Gilded Age, when most of America's supply was consumed in just a few city blocks? How did bartenders in the 1800s turn Champagne into a cultural symbol of luxury and celebration? What are the stories behind Prince Albert Edward's "Prince of Wales" cocktail and Ernest Hemingway's "Death in the Afternoon"? How can you choose the right sparkling wine for cocktails? Why should Lambrusco be reconsidered as a serious, fruit-forward sparkling wine?   Key Takeaways March 2016, Dom Pérignon was releasing a new Rosé vintage and threw a portfolio dinner serving every Dom Pérignon Rosé ever released. The aha moment for Elva was, up until about the mid-80s, it's still a fresh, sparkling rose that we know, but from the 80s, all of a sudden, the colour completely deepens, and all these Pinot characters just come out of it. The fact that it had aged so well surprised her. The Champagne region has been famous for wine for a very, very long time, and it's believed that people have been making wine there since before the Roman era but the English are actually credited with "discovering" sparkling wine. They figured out how to make the bubbles happen and that they liked it. The Porn Star Martini features vanilla vodka, passion-fruit purée and then separately, you're served a very cold shot of Champagne or sparkling wine. Instantly, it was a hit because the combination of vanilla and passionfruit, people get it right away. So this is like a cocktail and a shot. You can drink one and then drink the other, or you can take the shot and pour it in the glass.   About Elva Ramirez Elva Ramirez is an author, journalist and brand strategist. She is the author of "Sparkling" and "Zero Proof," which were both finalists for Best Cocktail Book at Tales of the Cocktail in their respective years.
