Binny's Blog

Matteo Meletti joins Barrel to Bottle to discuss his family's 155 year history of making amaro.

Our resident loud amaro lover Pat is back to torture Roger with twelve different Amari, running the gamut from extremely bitter to refreshing and subdued.

How did an outwardly Italian man end up in Eugene, Oregon making amaro? Find out as we talk with Elixir Spirits co-founder Andrea Loreto.

Last week it was new wines, this week it's new spirits. Pat once again overdid it and brought too many new items for us to sample.

This week on Barrel to Bottle, check out five Beaujolais from the 2020 vintage that prove it's a great summer wine.

Pat is constantly extolling the virtues of aromatized wines. Finally, we have a guest who will actually agree with him and won’t just make fun of him. Jake Parrott is a friend of the pod and the Whiskey Hotline and is also the national sales director of Haus Alpenz. What Jake sells, and Pat loves, is woefully esoteric. But Binny’s customers, and Barrel to Bottle listeners, are enthusiasts.

Head to Beaujolais with the Binny's wine team as Alicia and Chris take you on a journey through the region.

Beaujolais is fresh, fruity, and festive. Beaujolais is an every night delight, priced right. Beaujolais is gravitas and a true expression of terroir. Beaujolais is conviviality; the tie that binds friends, old and new. Beaujolais is family, food, and fun. Most of all, Beaujolais is for sharing, on your best days and every day. 

Join Binny's Wine Educator Alicia B. and Binny's own Guru of the Grape Chris S. for an informative look at this special region!

Travel with us for a few minutes to Beaujolais. Settled in the rolling hills just south of Burgundy, it’s a region immensely appreciated by a few (mostly those who work in wine) and undiscovered (or misunderstood) by many.
