I’m happy to report that my latest contribution to SOMM Journal is now available, included in the Spring 2026 issue.
The article focuses on English sparkling wine producer Hambledon Vineyard, so it has some cool-kid cred factor to it because, well, British bubbles. It also includes my reviews of their two signature NVs: Hambledon Vineyard Classic Cuvée Brut (England, $55), and Hambledon Vineyard Classic Cuvée Rosé (England, $55).
The Iron Maiden reference is, of course, because of the England connection. And, of course, because it’s me, and I’m a nerd.
Anyway, you can check it all out at https://sommjournal.com/april-may-2026/ . Or, better yet, subscribe!
Cheers!
