Breaking news from Tilray, the new owners (relatively speaking) of Shock Top Brewing and many other former Anheuser Busch brands: Their Pretzel Wheat beer has returned , and with it, a chance to win a trip to Munich for this year’s Oktoberfest. Apparently it’s returning after a three-year hiatus; I only ever remember stumbling upon it once, which would have been when I reviewed it for the GDB site in 2016.

It’s a chilly, drizzly November evening but on Platform 1 at London’s Victoria Station, spirits are high. No wonder: Ahead lies a four-hour ride around Kent on the swanky British Pullman train, taking in a five-course dinner prepared by Irish chef Anna Haugh, entertainment (including singing troupe The Spitfire Sisters ), lavishly decorated historic railroad cars — and, perhaps most importantly of all, a bottle of Dom Perignon’s 2012 Vintage Champagne for every couple.

Just like wine, cheese is central to France’s identity and culture. Also as with wine, each region boasts its own specific styles of cheese, and some even have official designations. Though we’re used to seeing household names like Munster on supermarket shelves in the U.S., there is a plethora of delicious regional varieties to get to know. Some of these include creamy Camembert from Normandy, funky wedges of Roquefort from the south, and smooth wheels of Saint-Paulin hailing from the coast.

After an 8 year old expression in Fall 2023 (which didn’t arrive until well into 2024), Heaven Hill’s Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond wheated bourbon is back with a new 10 year old offering, distilled in the Spring of 2014. Old Fitz is almost always a corn-heavy expression and this bottling doesn’t rock the boat. Notes of cracked black pepper, fresh cereal (lightly sweetened), and honey are all dominant on the nose, with an underbelly of cracked, old leather.

If you have the luxury of flying first or business class, you’re probably getting a full-on dining menu with that extra-plush seat and room to stretch your legs. For the majority of us who opt for economy, however, the in-flight meal often boils down to two equally sad options: vegetarian or non-vegetarian. And sometimes, by the time the attendants reach your seat, your options have slimmed to whatever tiny trays they’ve got left.

His 2021 cab-heavy blend is composed of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Petit Verdot, and 6% Cabernet Franc — a heady recipe, to be sure. The wine is aged in new French oak for 18 months before bottling. Let’s give it a try. A boldly fruity cabernet that’s dripping with notes of blackcurrants, Chris’s Cuvee has aggressive overtones of chocolate and blueberries, vaguely floral as it develops in the glass
