    Buying a great bottle of quality Champagne for New Year's Eve is one of my oldest traditions. The truly heavenly Pol Roger and the excellent Taittinger were among the previous honorees. Even a different L-P, the 2004/Vintage, was featured almost ten years ago. However, I decided to go with the time-honored Laurent-Perrier La Cu we Brut Champagne this year.     An ex-boss of mine waxed lyrical about this specific bubbly as her go-to bottle, which gave me the 2ilies and made me dislike the drink. And to be quite honest, after hearing her opinion of other finery, I was tempted to accept one or two Champagne recommendations. So when a case of Laurent-Perrier La Cuvee Brut came into view when I was looking for alcohol for Christmas, it was an obvious decision.   Numerous grape varietals, namely Chardonnay, Pinky Noir, and Pinot Meunier, were combined to create this wind. Only the initial pressing of the grapes, or Cuvee which is carefully chosen from t...

  Japanese whisky is produced using techniques and In a style that is similar to scotch whisky. To be more precise, there are primary forms of whisky. Grain whisky and malt whisky can both be created in continuous column stills or conventional copper pot stills from malted barley. Blended whisky is what you get if you decide to make whisky by combining the two of these. Since single malt whiskies are typically found in higher-end commodities in Scotland,   blends are typically found on the lower end of the quality whisky spectrum. There are exceptions, though as there are with most crafts, but this does function as a sound guiding principle. As an outcome, Scotland's grain whisky industry is mostly driven by commodities and high volume sometimes at the expense of quality. But that's a topic for another day, another conversation, and another venue.   The emphasis on creating premium blends is the main distinction between this and Japanese whisky production. You must pr...

  My foray into the wine industry has led me in a range of paths, like several others who catch the wine bug. I've learnt to appreciate the subtleties wine has to offer as my interest in learning about wine has grown. Although sometimes I worry that I might lose the happiness that motivated me to set out on the voyage.   I therefore value those occasions that make me smile even more because they serve as a reminder that wine is about more than acids and tannins, more than determining whether the nose emits rose or violet aromas, much more than figuring out whether a wine was aged in French or American oak, more than determining whether it had been filtered or fined. Wine is a social beverage, wonderful food, wonderful music, and good friends- both old and new ones, they were the target ones. It's about a day that begins cloudy and ends sunny, either literally or symbolically.   In order to introduce Oriando's wine industry experts to kashy Khaledi and his wines ...

  Rye whisky from Jefferson's ocean Rye is matured twice, once in triple-charred barrels and once in toasted casks. At sea, Jefferson's Ocean Rye was aged excessively. As OV26 departed the Port of Savannah on its way to Manzanillo and the Panama canal, it was the season for Hurricanes. Although there were more named storms than usual in the Atlantic Basin, less than anticipated of them became hurricanes.   The weather was clear to and through the canal, and there were just small waves. Due to a little weakening of La Nina in the tropical Pacific and warmer than average surface temperatures in some areas of the tropical Atlantic, OV26 got off to a calm start. Above the equator, it was summer, but that would alter below the equator.   Surface temperatures in the South Pacific Basin sharply decreased as it approached New Zealand. The cooling of the surface water was supported by subsurface temperatures that had been below average. The upper-level westerlies overwhel...

  Ardbeg ten years old Single malt Scotch whisky is at par excellence, unfiltered and chilled. The Islay malt whisky connoisseurs believe that Ardbeg to be the best in the world of whisky, not just the best. In Ardbeg's eyes, Islay sees Ardbeg. Situated on the untamed Atlantic ocean shoreline, in the southernmost point of islay, is the Ardbeg distillery. It's an ancient land, Islay. Where early distillers secreted their unlawful aquavite at Ardbeg's rocky cove, and Celtic monks took refuge from attacking Norsemen. Whereas the Macdougalls of Ardbeg, the forefathers of our magnificent and noble whisky, sprang from the clan kings known as the Lords of the Isles, who governed most of Scotland between the 12th and the 15th century. Ardbeg is descended from Islay. Our current state is infused with the island's past.   All across the globe, Ardbeg is considered as the smoky, peatiest and most intricate whisky that is accessible. It does not however show off the peat, rath...
