Barbera has a history somewhat unresolved. It's heritage is assigned to Piedmont in Italy, but its genetics bare no relationship to the established varieties the region is synonymous with. It has been related to various varieties that have excellent resilience to hot and dry climates.

The Barossa is hot and dry. While many critics and scribes will push against hot and dry, as a climatic source for high quality grapes, it is a blessing for Barbera. Its late ripening features, high natural acidity lend it well to our Barossa Valley. She ripens well after the stalwart Shiraz, usually three weeks which means we have much time to tend to her needs.

Even though a seasonally late ripening variety, Barbera still holds its own natural acidity, with very little if any intervention needed by us. It makes you nervous, waiting for it to ripen, but it’s worth it.

All Bosward wines are raised in older oak. Simply to provide clear line of sight to the vineyard and the fruit flavours and aromas that divulges. Old oak means about 5 years old. Simple traditional and cost effective.

The 2024 season was excellent. Great weather brought on balanced ripeness with few dramatic climatic shocks. The wine bristles with red and blue fruits, un-obstructed and beaming from the glass. Mulberry and Boysenberry dominate, with a whiff of Crème caramel. Primary and poised. The taste is pure, with expression from aromas, perhaps with some Jaffa and mandarin cake spikes. Signature Barbera acidity paves the way to a long cool finish.

It will age but enjoy now. It’s glowing.

"Medium-deep crimson. Lovely boysenberry espresso aromas and
flavours. Buoyant and spicy with abundant dark berry fruits, roasted
coffee notes and long chalky firm tannins."

"Reid Bosward goes solo! About time. The personality-plus winemaker behind Kaesler (and Yarra Yering!) has launched with a tight but well-considered Barossa range of things. Barbera feels a little left of centre, but hey, lean in. Also, the prices are right. What a refreshing thing to see that.

All the right moves. Broad spectrum of red fruits, tart-orangey acidity, a gravelly, grunty spice element, silky tannin profile, a cool finish. Bite and crunch, freshness and just enough depth. Super easy drinking and all that reads as strong DNA of the variety. Pizza pizza, pork with crackling, Tuscan chilli-spiked vegetarian frittata ahoy. It’s a winner. Sold to the person in the red hat."

A good birds-eye view book.
Format: Paperback
I own the print version of this book, and am using it to teach a high school class on Godot. What I like: it's accessible and descriptive. The explanations in the later book of why the author is doing something are pretty good. They are written in plain English and most of the reasoning for why some things are being done are explained. What I don't like: the print quality *is* dark, but I'm not sure what you can do about that given that most of Godot is using a dark UI and the book is in black and white. I found it legible, most of the time, but there were moments I had to decipher it from context. Also, I think the initial scripting section is light on details and almost pointless from an educational standpoint. It shows the reader what is going on in normal GDScript, but does not take them through any exercises. The programming aspect of the book is better explained in later chapters, but I think for true beginners the scripting section should be reworked. Overall, I will use it but will supplement it for students. For personal use: if you have basic Godot knowledge this will probably not add too much to your abilities. If you are new to gamedev this is a good way to pick up the flow quickly, even though there is not a lot of depth.

Very poor print quality
Format: Paperback
The contrast is so low on the images that in many cases they are nearly illegible. There are many sentences which are similar to "by clicking on the [illegible text/icon] button, you can...". Not helpful. "If you look at Figure 2-14 you can see the output...". No, no I can't. Maybe the eBook version is better, but the print version is very poor quality.

A Must-Read for Anyone Building (or Rebuilding) a Community—from the Ground Up or Within a Studio
Format: Paperback
Mastering Community Management by Victoria Tran is easily one of the most approachable, grounded, and genuinely helpful books I’ve read on the subject. It’s not weighed down by corporate jargon or vague motivational fluff. Instead, it reads like a knowledgeable friend sitting beside you, walking you through what community actually is and what it isn’t. As a small indie developer trying to revitalize my own brand and reconnect with my community after a long absence, this book hit at exactly the right time. It gave me not only strategies, but the right questions to ask myself about the kind of experience I want to create. Too many resources focus on surface-level tactics—Victoria goes deeper. She invites you to reflect on your values, your voice, and your long-term goals, then gives you tools to act on them. One of the strongest aspects of this book is how clearly it distinguishes community management from marketing, social media, PR, and other often-blurred roles. If you’ve ever struggled to explain the value of community work to stakeholders or collaborators, this book gives you the language, examples, and frameworks to make your case with clarity and confidence. It’s also deeply aware of the wide range of contexts in which community work happens. Tran never assumes you're working with a massive team or unlimited resources. Whether you're part of a AAA studio, a two-person indie dev team, a hobbyist group, or something in between, the book respects those differences and offers flexible, practical guidance that can be scaled or remixed to fit your needs. The book is packed with real-world examples and thoughtful exercises that walk you through both practical strategies and big-picture thinking. You’re not just handed advice—you’re invited to work through your own approach using templates, prompts, and reflection activities that are grounded in real experience. Every chapter is dense with insights that are critical for new developers and also thought-provoking for those who’ve been in the industry a while. And while the book is focused on video game communities, its frameworks feel highly adaptable. As someone also working in the tabletop space, I found that many of the ideas translated beautifully—especially in a field where so much success is driven by small, tight-knit communities and word-of-mouth engagement. For those of us wearing multiple hats—dev, marketer, moderator, cheerleader—this is the kind of resource you’ll return to again and again. Whether you're just starting out or trying to rebuild trust and engagement, Mastering Community Management provides clarity and care in equal measure. It’s clear, it’s kind, and it’s deeply useful. Buy it for yourself, your team, and anyone who still thinks community is “just Discord.”
