Exploring the Wine Glass

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. 

I want to give a big shout out to Taylor Camp for leaving this 5 star review.

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.

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?

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 Bruce and Rhonda Prothro of Prothro Family Wines in Napa Valley. 

They started in their garage but today, Bruce and Rhonda source their fruit from some amazing vineyards including Stagecoach, plus have had some pretty incredible mentors along the way. We talk about what it takes to make a well balanced wine and of course we chatted all about Cab Franc!

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 sit down with the husband and wife dynamic duo of craft cocktails. Together they created Yes Cocktail Co in Paso Robles. 

I had a blast learning about craft cocktails. In complete disclosure, prior to the recording I had no idea what the difference was between a syrup, a shrub, a mixer and never mind bitters! But thanks to Lauren Butler and Brandon Alperts, who walked me through making two different cocktails, while explaining everything, I am on my way to joining the craft cocktail craze! Be sure to check out their website yescocktailco.com to find recipes and all your craft cocktail needs. 

Before we get into the cocktail class, I would appreciate it if you could take a minute of your time to rate and review the podcast. It only takes a minute of your time, but it helps other wine lovers find Exploring the Wine Glass. And you can now rate and review on Spotify too! Thank you so much! Slainte!

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 sit down with Julie St John of Pedroncelli Winery in Geyserville, CA. 

For over 90 years, Pedroncelli Winery has been synonymous with Zinfandel but they offer so much more! As the 113th bonded winery, they know their way around the vineyards and what it takes to make quality wine. 

Join me as I talk with Julie about what makes Dry Creek Valley so special, their two estate vineyards and why Zinfandel is America’s grape.

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 a wonderful trade tasting I attended in New York City. 

The Charming Taste of Europe is a project that brings together the wine from Italy and France as well as fresh fruit from Greece. The presentation was hosted by Susannah Gold of Vigneto Communications and Abruzzo brand ambassador. 

The event was held at the Il Gattapardo Restaurant in mid December. The event space is beautiful, but the acoustics leave a bit to be desired, so the sound quality of this episode is not stellar, but I promise it is worthy of your time to listen. 

Before we get to the podcast I’d like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year! Let’s raise a glass as a toast to the future, a toast to the past, and a toast to our friends, far and near. May the best day of your past be the worst day of your future.

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! When the clock struck 12 to kick 2020 out the door, so many thought 2021 would be better. Yet, here we are still in the grasp of covid, with another variant closing doors again. As we approach the last few days of 2021, I thought it was necessary to get some good laughs in.

This episode of Wine Writer Wrap up is a bit different. It’s not wine focused, rather, it is laugh centric! The Darwin awards are an annual somewhat spoof ceremony honoring the people who have passed away in the past from their own stupidity. During the episode I share some of the nominees and although it's sad they passed away, the circumstances in which they did are downright hysterical.

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 a webinar I attended hosted by Susannah Gold of Vignetto Communications about a little known wine region, making some incredible wines, Oltrepo Pavese.

Located in the north west region of Lombardy just south of the river Po,, the Oltrepò Pavese wine region is a well kept secret that is worthy of your attention. Best known for the Pinot Nero grape that is perfectly suited for the hills and mountains of which it is grown on. 

Over 150 years ago, Count Augusto Giorgi di Vistarino believed that the climate, similar to Burgundy, would be ideal for the growing of Pinot Noir and imported the plant, and produced the first spumante of the Oltrepò. Since then, Pinot nero-based reds, whites and rosé wines are still being produced, along with Barbera, Riesling and Moscato.

I hope you enjoy the webinar as much as I did and when you are looking for your next wine, be sure to search for a bottle from Oltrepò.
