Episode 26 - Dylan Melvin - My Dear Friends Wine

🎙️Welcome to episode twenty-six of Liquid Liner Notes! On this episode I chat with Dylan Melvin, one of the founders of My Dear Friends Wine. Dylan is the director of adult beverage for Foxtrot Market, and one of the partners of is/was brewing which is where I first met him. After spending much of the shutdown in environments conducive to bagged wine he became fond of the format. Going so far as to fill bladders with bottled wine to take to hangouts. This sparked an idea, quality affordable wine in large formats. Next week, after nearly two years of planning and work, that initial idea launches in Chicago as My Dear Friends Wine. In effort to find value that makes this project work, Dylan and his patterns will be sourcing grapes from South Africa’s Western Cape. A region that, due to political and socio-economic variables, has been forgotten in the wine world. Those grapes will be turned into wine using traditional minimal intervention methods. South Africa has a deep history in viticulture due to its soil composition and use of various techniques like dry-farming and bush vines. My Dear Friends will begin distribution in Chicago & Dallas through Foxtrot Market locations with three different wines. The three include a Sauvignon Blanc, a skin contact white, and a red table wine. The wine will be packaged in 1L bottles and 1.5L bagnums, with a price that comes out to what would be $15-$16 for a regular sized bottle of wine. You can find My Dear Friends on Instagram at @MyDearFriendsWine and on their website mydearfriendswine.com.

🎙️Welcome to episode twenty-four of Liquid Liner Notes! This week’s episode is a little different! I sat down with Marty Scott, the barrel manager of Revolution Brewing. We tasted through and chatted about Revolution’s October 2025 Deep Woods releases which include: Deth’s Tar, Café Deth, Vanilla Deth, and Cocoa Vanilla Deth. Coming off of a bronze medal at the Beer World Cup, we discuss Rev's process to create the base to many of their Deep Wood releases - "Deth's Tar". Blending sweet and dry components of the bourbon barrel aged base imperial oatmeal stout. As well as their partnership with their barrel brokers @MidwestBarrelCo. For "Café Deth" we discuss the coffee selection process with @DarkMatterCoffee, as well as how Rev adds coffee to extract the best parts of coffee in the beer. For "Vanilla Deth" we discuss the addition of not only hand split whole vanilla beans, but a unique addition of "vanilla toasted" oak from @CreativeOak_. This additional oak helps impart vanilla flavor, while also aiding the drinking experience with a dry finish....you'll have to listen in to learn about oak and hydrophobia! "Cocoa Vanilla Deth" is a "Twenty Ten Variant Collection" release in a 19.2oz can. It is an imperial oatmeal stout aged in bourbon barrels with the addition of chocolate and vanilla. The chocolate comes from @SleepWalkChocolateria, a sister company of Dark Matter. We talk about this selection process as well as how adding cocoa beans differs from coffee.
