Today I’m bringing you a “Best Of” episode. In just over a week, it will be #CabFrancDay, so I thought it was a good idea to revisit my episode California Cab Franc; No Longer in the Shadow of its Progeny. I hope that you have a nice bottle of Cab Franc already in your home, but if not, there is still time to grab a bottle. Turn to your favorite or maybe try a new one! Dracaena Wines IS the reason there is a Cab Franc Day, so maybe now is the perfect time to place that order with them! Then, on December 4th, at 5pm PT, join me on Twitter for the annual #CabFrancDay twitter chat. Just follow hashtag CabFrancDay.

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 on Winephabet Street the letter of the day is M and it stands for Monastrell. The thick black skinned grape Monastrell, is the native Spanish name for what is known as Mataro in Australia and Mourvedre here in America. Our special guest is Nicholas Hammeken founder and CEO of Hammeken Cellars which was founded in 1996. They create wines that gather the best of the Spanish local grapes and traditions, with the winemaking style and techniques of the "New World".

There is a saying that to be a jack of all trades is to be a master of none. Well, my guest today is living proof that that is NOT the case. Doug Frost is a Master of Wine and Master Sommelier as well as an author and wine consultant based in Kansas City, Missouri. As if being a Master of Wine and a Master Sommelier is not enough, Doug has written three wine books, hosted an Emmy award short series titled “FermentNation, and is the co-creator of a spirits and cocktail education organization. Now you would think that would be more than enough for us to talk about on Allure of the Pour, but that wasn’t even the main focus. Doug is now a partner in Echolands Winery in Walla Walla and just completed planting one vineyard and is in the process of designing a second planting. So join me as I talk to Doug about all the dirty details of planning and planting a vineyard.

Thanks for listening in. Today I have a very special guest, Enrique Tirado, winemaker for Don Melchor. Now although I would have much rather had this interview on site in Chile, we had to rely on technology to get us through this one. Enrique has been with Concho y Toro since 1993, but moved his focus to the Don Melchor brand in 1995, taking complete reign of this now, most award-winning wine on the global scale, that is a single wine, Don Melchor Cabernet Sauvignon. We sat down and discussed what it is like to be in charge of a winery that has celebrated it’s 30th Anniversary with it’s 2017 vintage and I have to honor of virtually clinking with Enrique while sipping his incredible wine.
Thank you to Amanda at Gregory & Vine for arranging the interview.

Hey everyone! It’s time to unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and let’s start exploring the Wine Glass!
In today’s episode I sit down with Jim Schleckser, author of Professional Drinking. When you read a bio that includes soccer player, climbed Kilimanjaro and enjoys wine.. you know it is going to be an interesting interview. Jim went from writing books about being a productive CEO, to obtaining his Sommelier certification. So it is only logical to combine to two! Listen in as Jim provides his tips on how to become a professional drinker.

Today, I sit down with Pam Riley of Food and Wine Chronicles and discuss the inequities in the wine world. Black Lives Matter is a strong movement and an important one. It is sad to know that people are treated differently just because of the color of their skin. If you listen to this podcast or read my blog, you know how I am a scientist at heart (and by training) . Bill Nye the Science Guy is a hero of mine. If he explained the science behind skin color in less than 2 minutes on Tik Tock, it’s really not very difficult to comprehend. The color of the skin may be different, but we are all a single species. Remember the adage, don’t judge a book by its cover? That is all you are doing if you treat another human differently because of an external feature. Let’s get over it and let’s raise a glass to a day that a wine lover is a wine lover no matter the color of their skin.

On today’s episode of Exploring the Wine Glass, we head to Winephabet Street where the letter of the day is L and is stands for Lugana! A small DOC in Italy based on Lake Garda. There are about 200 producers in the entire DOC, and they focus on one grape! The white grape Turbiana. We had the pleasure of having the brand ambassador for Lugana DOC as our guest host. Susannah Gold of Vigneto Communications shares her in depth knowledge of the DOC with us.

It time to unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and let’s start exploring the wine glass! On today’s episode, I am diving into the world of Sherry with Certified Sherry Wine Specialist Lucas Paya. Join me as I learn about the fortified wine made from white grapes that are grown near the city of Jerez in Andalusia, Spain. During the conversation, we discuss how Sherry is made primarily from the Palomino grape, is produced in a variety of styles, ranging from light versions like the Fino to darker and heavier oxidized versions such as the Pedro Ximenz as well as everything in between like the Oloroso. Thank you to Charolotte at IT Public Relations for organizing the interview and House of Lustau for providing the samples.

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 some of my wine writer friends and we discuss the increasing number of celebrities who are entering the wine business. Are they just slapping their name on a label to help a product sell or are they following their passion and truly wanting to learn what it takes to produce high quality wines. Would you buy a wine simply because a celebrity makes it?
Riddle:
You had me today
Tomorrow you’ll have more
As time passes,
I’m not easy to store.
I don’t take up space
But I’m only in one place
I am what you saw
But not what you see
What am I?
scroll down for the answer!
