ADVERTISEMENT A pub is primarily a place for relaxation and entertainment, which can be delivered in different ways. In the United Kingdom, one of the more interesting inventions designed to keep the pub patrons occupied were the so called fruit machines, which are also sometimes called slot machines or one-armed bandits. These gambling machines have steadily grown in popularity and have turned into a worldwide sensation, so few people now even remember their humble beginnings.

Even if you dont get lake effect snow and howling wind, you likely at least need to throw on a windbreaker to temper the chilly winter air. But the only thing better than warming sweaters and pull-overs during the blustery season is warming, boozy cocktails.

Few occupations have as much insight into contemporary beer culture as the people who actually make the stuff. Throughout their years behind the kettles, brewers have been the first to watch possibly iffy new releases grow into nationwide sales stalwarts, traced the trajectory of overhyped styles as they soared close to the sun before crashing back down to earth, and witnessed personal favorites seek out and eventually find their audiences.

We do a lot of talking here on Wine 101 about wine being ancient. But it wasnt necessarily grown everywhere way back then. Instead, there came a point when Europeans set sail and started colonizing vast portions of the globe, grapevines in tow. Many countries including Chile, Argentina, Australia, South Africa, and what would later become the United States actually started producing wine with European vines.

It’s hard to believe but I last reviewed this wine in its 2006 (and before that, 2005 ) vintage. The winery today has a reputation for pushing out jammy, oak-heavy cabernets, but this 2020 shows that Silver Oak and restraint are not mutually exclusive. Chewy notes of ripe plum, strawberries, and cherry candies offer an initial burst of sweetness, but subtler notes of anise, graphite, and black tea add nuance and a little grit.
