BAREFOOT WINE SPRITZER [Rosé Review] - Plus When Canned Wine Actually Makes Sense
The Barefoot Rosé Wine Spritzer is definitely not a drink for anyone, but I do think it will appeal to those who are new at developing their wine palate. This wine spritzer is sweet. I mean real sweet. It's basically a grape soda. So if that's not your thing (not really mine), I'd pass on this one.

When does canned wine, or canned wine spritzers make sense? Well, if you haven't seen our canned wine video, go watch it now. But basically, anytime it's not convenient to be carrying around a 750ml glass bottle, canned wine might be a good call. Canned wine is really about convenience over anything else. Camping, the beach, the pool, or other activities like that are places I'd choose bringing a can over bottle. There are other pros and cons, so make sure to check out the canned wine video on our channel.

Aging red wine can be a very rewarding process. Although most wines are ready to drink young, there's also many cases where aging red wine can help bring out the best in the wine. A balanced wine is roughly equal parts fruit, acidity, tannins, and alcohol. If the balance is off in a young wine, it often balances out after aging over time through a series of chemical interactions that makes wine taste smoother.

Make sure to find our Part 1 of How to Age and Store Wine so you know the fundamentals of "how," not just the "why" and "what."
Cabernet Sauvignon:
Cab Sauv has a wide range of variability depending on vintage, region, and many other factors. Look for Cabs with a deep color, that's higher in acidity and tannins if you plan to age it a while.
Merlot:
Merlot actually ages very well, even though they tend to be lighter in body. Aging merlot often produces a softer mouth feel with a more tobacco smoke flavor. A great place to look for merlot to age is the right bank of Bordeaux, in France.
Tempranillo:
Especially from the Rioja region, tempranillo is an amazing grape to age long term.
Sangiovese:
Like Tempranillo, this is another varietal to age long term. This wine often has spicy acidity when it's young, and over time it mellows out to produce figgy, nutty notes.
Let us know what wines you've had success aging or plan on aging!

Do you want to make the most balanced, smooth pour over coffee easily at home? The 4:6 is a proven coffee pour over method that was made famous by Tetsu Kasuya, in 2016, when he won the 2016 World Brewers Cup Championship using this technique. It also has the advantage of customizing the sweetness and strength to your liking, making it perfect for everyone.
Purchase a V60 pourover kit: https://amzn.to/35ICmxX
The 4-6 method begins by dividing the total water into 40% and 60%.
You pour the first 40% in two pours, and then decide how many pours you want to make for the last 60%. The first 2 pours decide the balance of the acidity and sweetness. The remaining number of pours will decide the strength of the coffee.
Using a Hario V-60:
20g dry coffee (coarse grind)
92c water 300ml (0.3ppm, PH 6.6)
45sec blooming (50ml)
70ml pour (wait until water is drained)
60ml pour (wait until water is drained)
60ml pour (wait until water is drained)
60ml pour (wait until water is drained)
lift the dripper

A quality coffee burr grinder is arguably the best appliance you should invest in for coffee. Everything comes down to the grind. If you're looking to get a good quality grinder that can handle everything from pressurized portafilter espresso, to pour over, to french press, but you don't want to break the bank, the Bodum Bistro is something to look at. It's the Cork and Java top pick for entry level coffee grinding.
Purchase this Bodum Burr Grinder HERE: https://amzn.to/36Meivg
This grinder is, again, an entry-level grinder at about $100, which is about half of what most coffee gurus recommend you spend on a first grinder. This grinder obviously does not grind as consistently as something in the $200 range, but is surprisingly consistent as compared to others at the same price point. The Bodum Bistro can more than hold its own for someone just getting started in coffee.
The BISTRO Burr Grinder crushes beans between stainless steel conical burrs rather than slicing them which preserves bean’s intrinsic flavor and aroma and provides a consistent grind; no sharpening required.
Features:
• Push button, pre-set timer allows users to grind the exact amount of coffee needed, keeping beans fresh and preventing waste
• Adjustable grind allows users to go from Espresso to French Press with ease
• Colorful, compact, space-saving design
• Equipped with a friction clutch, preventing damage to the grinding gear by the presence of small stones
• Borosilicate glass catcher reduces static cling of coffee grounds

Have you ever heard "That was a great vintage" or "that was a great year for wine?" Wine made the same way, from the same vineyard, can be drastically different from year to year. There's many variables, mostly weather related, that factor into how the wine will taste and age.

Old vines tend to have deeper roots, so they produce a more consistent product year after year, but not necessarily better quality overall. The perfect year for wine is sunny, not too hot, not too cold, not too wet, and not too dry. Ideally, you get more rain early in the season little rain around harvest time. That will ensure there's plenty of yield and the flavors and sugars are ultra concentrated during harvest.

All beer isn't created equal when it comes to serving temperature. Each style is meant to be enjoyed in their own way. Today we explore each style of beer and what temperatures they are best served at. There's a big difference in taste between an ice cold beer and a beer at 55 degrees F.

AMERICAN MACRO LAGERS / LIGHT LAGERS:
These are best cold. 33 to 40 degrees F. Store them in your fridge and serve right from there, and you'll be all set.
PALE LAGERS / PILSNERS
These can go a little warmer. 38 to low 40 degrees F. If there's a solid hop game to the beer, it opens up in that low 40 degree range. Storing in the fridge is still recommended, and just let it sit a few mintues on the counter before serving. Once it you start drinking it, it'll warm up a little in the glass, anyway.
AMBER / MARZEN / OKTOBERFEST LAGERS
40-55 degrees F.
BLONDE ALE / CREAM ALE
45-55 degrees F.
PALE ALE
45-50 degrees F for American style. The English Pale Ales usually have more hop characteristics and benefit from being a little warmer (50-55).
INDIA PALE ALE
This style varies a lot depending on the brew. Experiment anywhere from 45-55 degrees and see which works best for the IPA you have. The balance of the beer can vary from IPA to IPA, so it's best to guess and check. I recommend starting at 45 degrees, and as your drink warms in the glass, see if it gets better or worse.
STOUT / BLACK ALE / PORTER
45-55 degrees. These roasty, malty beers do great in this range. Start at 45 degrees, and let the beer warm up as you drink. Take note in how the flavor changes as it warms. Definitely stay on the cooler end of the scale for nitros.
SOURS
45-55 degrees F. The sour and sometimes funky characteristics of these beers do better at the cooler end of the scale. The coolness can cut down on the acidity of the sourness and lessen the barnyard flavor that you sometimes get. This range is definitely personal preference.
BELGIAN DUBBELS, TRIPELS, AND QUADS
Dubs and Quads do well in the low 50s. You get a lot of malt and high ABV with these, so a little warmer helps them shine. Tripels are a little more lighter in body, spicy, and yeasty, so they do better a little colder (40-45 degrees).
