The Bhurtpore Inn at Aston is a famous hostelry tucked away in the depths of Cheshire. A classic, large multi-roomer, it has some outstanding original features and an excellent beer garden. It holds two beer festivals a year and the reason for my visit was the fourteenth summer fest. It had been some time since my last visit and I was interested to note any changes. Having made sure the WHB had taken...

While I thought the 2004 Roda Reserva was a touch better than the 05, it's the opposite with Roda I. I did a fair bit of preparation with this bottle: decanted for 3 hours, then back in the bottle, off to La Luna for dinner, back into a decanter while we drank a handy half bottle of Ca del Bosco, then into the glass. Overall, the 05 is a more structured and complete wine at this stage, it has also...

IN JANUARY, a brush with administrators saw ‘Fish Works’ streamline its sites from ten to six. Craving crustaceans for not much cash, I stopped by their Swallow Street flagship to check its recovery... Despite taking this snap under soothingly low light, I hope you can see just how lavish a platter it turned out to be. Beyond the parsley was a large crab, legs intact. After an uncompromisingly...

Filed under: Wine Most wine is released the year it is ready but Smith-Madrone Winery has an interesting approach, it re-releases its older Rieslings. This year the winery is re-releasing its 2002 Riesling . Why re-release? The winery's founder and General Partner Stuart Smith says they do this because "we love how Rieslings age and develop and we want to give people the opportunity to taste...

Australian winemakers had been enjoying quite a bit of success for the past decade, as exports increased and positive reviews rolled in. Australia became the fourth largest exporter of wine. But since the global recession started, Australian winemakers are facing plummeting revenues. But even as its star appeared to be rising, the Australian wine industry was sliding, selling a greater volume of wine...

"Organic” on the label does not say anything about the quality of the wine or the food, it only means how the grapes or ingredients are farmed, and it is all down to the wine maker or farmer to make a good wine or food out of them.

Well it's getting close to the end. Two months of board exam studying culminates with 1 test this week and 1 next week. Things have recently been pretty bleak on the beer path for me after suffering a major bout of gastroenteritis a week ago in which I think I lost about 5 gallons of water from my body in one night. Since then it's been kinda hard to want to eat or drink anything. Hopefully I'll be...

By virtue of some very cheap airfares from Tiger Airways , (I find them a good, no nonsense airline) my family and I had a long weekend in Adelaide last week. Here's my list of good things about Adelaide: 1. North Adelaide. I don't think any other city in Australia has such a concentration of impressive 19th century mansions, houses and public buildings as North Adelaide. I had lived in Adelaide for...

French wine growers are protesting against EU plans to permit the blending of white and red grapes to produce rose wines. The proposal has emerged as part of a package of measures from the EU Commission aimed at assisting the European wine industry with an assault on world markets. When the issue was considered by the EU in January, it received the support of the French government who clearly did not
