Binny's Blog

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

Different, fun, interesting; eight new domestic wines for spring.

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.

Binny's is on pace to add over 4,000 new wines this year. That means some bottles fly under the radar. This week we've put together a sampling of new wines worth checking out.

This week the Women of Binny’s got together to explore the art of wine and food pairing. Together we prepped, cooked, and paired Spanish tapas with Spanish wines. We discussed the fundamentals of food and wine pairing and learned essential cooking skills and knife techniques. Keep reading to learn more about our pairings and recipes you can try at home!

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

The Women of Binny's recently sat down with Veronica Kathuria from Wines of Argentina to explore that country's expansive world of wine. Over a multi-course pairing dinner, they learned more about the wines of Argentina and the women behind them.

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.
