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 where the letter of the day is A! We begin Season 3 with Areni. Areni Noir, also known as simply Areni, is a largely unknown ancient grape variety. The Areni grape is believed to come from the village of Areni in southwest Armenia, from which it obtained its name.
In 2011, during excavations of a cave within the village of Areni was, archaeologists discovered the oldest known winery in the world. Analysis of grape seeds and stems found in the cave indicated that the winery was at least 6,100 years old. Wine found in the amphorae proved to be Areni.
Our special guest this episode is Stepan Baghdassarian, owner of Wines of Armenian dot com. He shares three bottles that demonstrate the various expressions Areni can be found as well as a bit of history and what a wine lover can expect while sipping on Areni.

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 author Christopher Ruhland, author of Press for Champagne.
Champagne is a wonderful thing. So wonderful, that there are many famous quotes. Coco Chanel stated “I only drink champagne on two occasions, when I am in love and when I am not.” Winston Churchill declared, Remember, gentlemen, it’s not just France we are fighting for, it’s champagne!” and Napolean announced “I drink champagne when I win, to celebrate… and I drink champagne when I lose, to console myself.”
While I was studying to become a Champagne specialist, the one statement that was repeated over and over again was, “It’s not Champagne if it doesn’t come from Champagne.” So I thought it would be fun to sit down with Christopher; a self proclaimed Champagne lover and see what exactly makes Champagne so special to him. (and did you know that the meme about Press for Champagne is an actual sign! We’ll talk about where it is and I hope to get to push it one day for myself.

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 Glenn Hugo, the winemaker for Girard Winery in Napa Valley.
Glenn is originally from Texas, but his love of wine brought him to Napa. After working in the industry as a General Manager at a wine bar and a few other odds and ends, he found his way to being a harvest intern at Girard Winery. And as they say the rest is history.
Today he is the winemaker for a winery where you can taste all of Napa at one cellar door. With 16 nested AVAs in Napa, Girard winery harvests fruit from nine of them. All wine is produced in small batch fermentations in a new state of the art "ambitiously efficient” winery, not only are they passionate about producing quality wine, they are dedicated to preserving the land.

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 virtually traveling to Spain and am discussing everything Albarino. I am chatting with Diego Rios, winemaker for Bodegas Granzaban in one of my all time favorite wine regions- Rias Baixas. I continue to dream of visiting what is known as Green Spain and hopefully one day that dream will come true.

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 virtually traveling to Argentina and discussing sustainability. I am chatting with Guillermina van Houten, the sustainability expert for Tilia Wines. The first winery in the region to become sustainably certified. Sustainability is in their “blood” and it shows in their wines and their newly redesigned label.

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’m wishing everyone a very happy Valentine’s Day! The true beginning of Valentines Day may be shrouded in mystery, but one thing is sure, it is here to stay and it gives us another great reason to drink wine! But which wine will you be choosing? I hope you enjoy this episode. It is a rare occasion that I am doing all the talking. So grab a glass of wine and settle in for the story of Valentine’s Day and the perfect wine pairing.
I want to give a big shout out to CSR of SCV for leaving this 5 star review.
A wonderful wine podcast Lori does such a great job presenting various wine topics in a way that is entertaining, interesting, and accessible. She is smart, but also very much at ease and relatable.

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 my buddy Nick Berube and we are having some fun with a wine version of the Dating Game.
Can you choose a wine simply by its tasting notes? In this episode of Wacky World of Wine, I give Nick 4 options and he must choose a wine "date." Does he choose wisely?
