This past July 28th, the wine world mourned the death of pioneering winegrower David Hirsch, who showed the California wine industry, and the wider world, that Pinot Noir could be grown brilliantly a mere 3 miles from the chilly Pacific Ocean in the shadow of towering redwoods. A 2014 tractor accident put the then-70-year-old Hirsch in a wheelchair and hastened …

We missed the last vintage (2024) of this bottle, and are ready to get into the 2025 vintage which is in stores now. Costco has done a nice job keeping the price borderline ridiculous for this bottle. Over the years it’s bounced between $4.99 and $5.99, and with this latest vintage it is coming in […] Source : https://costcowineblog.com/2025-kirkland-signature-grave-pinot-grigio-friuli/

The Douro Valley is one of the most jaw-dropping slices of wine country to be found anywhere on earth. Stunningly beautiful, it is also massive on a scale that few other wine regions can approach. With incredibly steep hillsides sporting terraces blasted out of solid rock with dynamite, climbing thousands of feet up from the river valley to incredible heights, …

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve picked up a bottle of wine that had the words “old vines,” “vieilles vignes,” or “vigna vecchia” on the label and turned it around to find absolutely no further information about the vineyard that produced it. Were the vines 40 years old or 140? Did this come from one old vineyard or …

Introduction How can two rums taste completely different even though they’re both made from sugar cane? What makes Jamaican rum so famously funky, and what does a dunder pit have to do with it? How does the type of ice you use change the strength, temperature, and texture of a cocktail? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I’m …

We’ve seen a few bottles from Stags’ Leap Winery in Costco over the years, which is great because they are consistently very nice, and this is our first time seeing their Merlot. Earlier this year we tasted and reviewed their Sauvignon Blanc as well as their Petite Sirah, both lovely 90+ points wines for us.

It’s been a hectic time with the relocation of 1WD HQ (I suspect that I’ll be stuck in unpacking hell for at least a few more weeks, which is particularly painful for a neat-freak like myself); so much so that I’ve kind of forgotten about some of the interviews I did for the releases of […] This article was originally …
