An article discussing the effect of alcohol consumption on medical strokes, suggesting the effect of wine on medical conditions is not all bad.
News about Fowles Wine’s “BatNav” system, which received a $500,000 grant to develop technology with the potential to save millions.
A piece arguing that Misguided USDA Guidelines Regarding Alcohol Need to be Fixed.
A discussion about Magnum Bottles and the effect of bottle size on wine aging and chemistry.

Ommegang and HBO® announce the newest beer in the Game of Thrones® collaboration series. Through its first four seasons, the critically acclaimed drama has become the biggest show on HBO.
In the world of Westeros, Valar Morghulis means “all men must die.” Fans of the hit HBO show chose the foreboding phrase as the name of the newest beer in the Game of Thrones® collaboration between HBO and Brewery Ommegang. As part of a Facebook poll, fan voting determined the style and name of the next beer. An Abbey Dubbel was selected and it is perfectly represented by the “two- headed” coin given to Arya Stark by Jaqen H’ghar, one of the “Faceless Men of Braavos” – legendary assassins with the ability to change their appearances at will.
TASTING NOTES
Valar Morghulis possesses a deep chestnut brown color with a persistent and creamy tan head. Rich aromas of caramel, toffee, ripe fruits and burnt sugar, with a hint of cloves. The taste is delicately balanced with rich malty sweetness, caramel and just enough bitterness to balance out its malty backbone. A surprisingly dry finish is light on the tongue, which belies the initial aroma.
Malt: Our carefully crafted mixture of specialty malts.
Sugar: Dark Candi
Hops: Apollo, Hallertau Spalt
Spices: None
ABV: 8.0%
Pair with savory dishes, roasted lamb or beef, marinated roasts and grilled venison. Strong cheeses such as Stilton, Gorgonzola and smoked cheddar will match well against the malty body.
