Today, I am sharing the audio of an online webinar I attended in April for Oregon Wine Month. There will be more to follow, so stay tuned. I have fallen in love with Oregon wines. So many wineries have captured beautiful expressions of the varieties. But today’s conversation is about one that I am not too familiar with - Sparkling wines in Oregon. I believe I have only had one or two, so this was an exciting topic.
You can watch the video on Oregon Wine Board’s youtube channel.

BEST OF EPISODE: ORIGINAL DROP: Monday Dec 28, 2020 It’s Monday, Let’s raise a glass to the beginning of another week. It’s time to unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and let’s begin Exploring the Wine Glass! Today I am sharing with you a Zoom event I attended about Bordeaux Terroir. Terroir is defined as the complete natural environment in which a particular wine is produced, including factors such as the soil, topography, and climate. It also relates to the characteristic taste and flavor imparted to a wine by the environment in which it is produced.
Bordeaux is a very regulated wine region and I am a believer that you can taste their soils in the glass. Whether you are in the Left or the Right Bank, within the AOCs there are differences that present themselves in the glass. Join me as I learn more about the soils of Bordeaux in this seminar presented by Benchmark Wine.

Today, we return to Winephabet Street, where the letter of the day is K and we are learning about the Greek grape variety Kostafali. We were lucky to have sommelier and wine director of Krasi Meze and Wine in Boston, Evan Turner.

Today, we return to an Allure of the Pour episode. I sat down with Gonzalo Bertelsen, head winemaker for Viñedos Veramonte in Chile. This past Saturday was Earth Day, and I hope everyone listening raised a glass and did one extra thing to help preserve our little planet. Veramonte is all in when in comes to protecting the environment. The beautiful design on their labels represents the “living soils” that are a result of their 100% organic and sustainable farming.

Today, I am sharing a Master Class on The Many Faces of Tempranillo. The event took place at Soulmate in Los Angeles and was sponsored by the Food and Wines of Spain. The audio was a bit difficult to manipulate to equal in volume throughout, so I do apologize for that, but it was a wonderful presentation by Master Sommelier Chris Gaither. He is not just knowledgeable, but very funny. I hope you enjoy

Today, I am sharing a Master Class on Cab Franc and Cab Franc Day. As the founder of Cab Franc Day, it always blows my mind when I see an event like this happening. Thanks to Neeta and Kunal Mittal of LXV in Paso Robles for putting together this incredible event. Thanks to Wes Hagen for his wonderful presentation celebrating the best grape variety!
The event took place in a large barrel room, so I apologize upfront for the quality of the sound, but I hope you stick it out because there is great conversation and the comparative tasting is extremely educational.

Today, we return to Winephabet Street, where the letter of the day is J and it stands for Jampal! Never heard of it? There’s a good reason for that. There are only approximately 32 hectares planted. It is an indigenous grape variety from Portugal, and we had the opportunity to learn all about it with Master of Wine Dirceau Vianna Junior. Special thanks to Wines of Portugal US Ambassador, Eugenio Jardim, for helping organize the interview. Franco Caputo of Italian Products & Beyond for arranging delivery of the wine and Allison Levine of Please the Palate for making the introduction.

It’s Monday, Let’s raise a glass to the beginning of another week. It’s time to unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and let’s begin Exploring the Wine Glass! Today, I am sitting down with Joe Nielsen of Ram’s Gate Winery in Sonoma.
Winemakers come from a variety of backgrounds, but it isn’t too often you hear about one coming from Michigan and having to petition a school to allow him access into their newly created oenology program, because he wasn’t 21 years old yet!
As General Manager and Winemaker at Ram’s Gate Winery, Joe approaches winemaking from all angles: driving sustainable farming practices, sourcing small-gem vineyards, using family owned coopers, as well as introducing native and whole-cluster fermentation.

It’s Monday, Let’s raise a glass to the beginning of another week. It’s time to unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and let’s begin Exploring the Wine Glass! Today, we return to Winephabet Street. The letter of the day is I and we are discussing the grape variety, Isabella.
These are exciting episodes for me, because prior to setting up the schedule for this season, I had never heard of this grape variety. So it was a great learning experience for me too! We had hybrid grape specialist Steven Casscles on to answer all of our questions. Sadly, we were not able to acquire a bottle to taste, but Steve did a fantastic job of describing its qualities, both in the glass and in the vineyard.
