Today on Exploring the Wine Glass, I sit down with several of my wine loving friends and we discuss a very scary topic. One that is rather hard to believe is actually happening, but numbers don’t lie. There has been a decline in the consumption of wine throughout 2019, and the trend seems to be continuing into 2020.
There are many beliefs as to why this downfall is occurring and like many things in the today’s world, it is blamed on those darn millennials! Do they really have that much power? What about this generation is causing the wine industry to stop and take notice and quite honestly begin to quake in their shoes? I am not willing to rule them out, but I also am not so inclined to think that this trend is based solely on them. There has to be more to it, and I bring these additional topics up to my panel to get their opinions. And for fun, don’t forget we always end these episodes with a riddle! Will you be able to solve it before they do?
On the show with me today:
Maria Ferraro Beardsley of Wine and Cheese Friday
Michael Kelly of California Wines and Wineries
John Taylor of Pairs with Life
Debbie Gioquindo of Hudson Valley Wine Goddess
RIDDLE:
I have keys, but no locks. I have space but no rooms. You can enter, but you can’t go outside. What am I?

Today I sit down with David Meadows, entrepreneur and founder of Pure Wine. Many people are unable to enjoy wine as they have adverse reactions to it. Some of these intolerance include headaches, congestion, skin flush and hangovers. Although I am not a believer that sulfites are a cause for these reactions, I will admit that histamines in wine can cause these reactions to a select population of consumers. During the conversation, we do get a bit geeky- heck, you know that is going to happen when you get two scientists together, but we break down the science so that it isn’t so intimidating as to how histamines effect people. To learn more about Pure wine, visit their website at www.drinkpurewine.com I hope you enjoy the conversation and learn a bit about how your body works.
During the conversation, David has several visuals to aid in his explanation. Please tune into Dracaena Wines’ YouTube channel at the following time estimates to see them:
Product in use: 21 minutes
Varietal Chart: 36 minutes
Product options: 46 minutes

Welcome to Exploring the Wine Glass. Today I sit down with Daniel Brennan, owner and winemaker at Decibel Wines in New Zealand. He prides himself on producing wines using classic practices, minimal intervention, a community based attitude. Combining the classic practices with modern in the vineyard and the winery Daniel not only is inspired to make great wine, but to preserve our great planet. His fruit comes from Hawkes Bay, and Martinborough but is beginning to make a name for himself right here in the United States. Today, he shares his story of how a Philly boy who grew up in the restaurant world, went from a Political and philosophy eduction to being a band manager and ultimately ending up half way around the world making wine.

Hey everyone! Thanks for listening to Exploring the Wine Glass. Today we head back to Winephabet Street. Today’s letter is D and it stands for Dornfelder. An interesting grape that was created when August Herold crossed Helfensteiner with Heroldrebe in 1956. Typically, the red wines of Germany are known for their lighter color and body. However, Dornfelder led the way for producing the more internationally accepted style of deep color. While you are sipping and listening, please rate, review and subscribe to Exploring the Wine Glass to help others find us. So sit back unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and enjoy learning about this not so well known grape variety, Dornfelder.

When I went through the WSET L2 class, at no point was Turkish wine brought into the conversation.
Quite some time ago, I came across a person on Twitter that I decided to follow because she was always talking about Turkish wine. Through each post, her enthusiasm and passion for the wine showed through and anyone who knows me knows I love to share someone’s passion for wine.
Andrea Lemieux, aka The Quirky Cork, began enjoying wine while she lived in Washington DC, but it wasn’t until she moved to Turkey for a job that she fell in love with it. Join us as she tells me about the long history of wine making in Turkey, teaches me how to pronounce those difficult to pronounce Turkish wine grapes, and why we can’t find these wines in the United States. She also will provide tips of the best places to visit on your next trip to Turkey.
If you enjoy this, please take the time to rate, review and subscribe. iTunes suggests podcasts based on these star reviews and each new review can help other winelovers find our podcast.

Something new for the podcast today. Life is hectic and sometimes you need to do things out of necessity. I was unable to produce an episode for this week, so I thought I would go back and find one of my most popular episodes and provide an opportunity for my new listeners to hear it and my dedicated listeners to remember the fun we had in discussing the outrageously priced bottle of wine.
I got together with some wine writing friends to discuss a topic in the wine world that has been hitting the headlines quite a bit lately. How much is too much to spend on bottle of wine? The topic was triggered by the announcement of Liber Pater declared that he was going to produce 550 bottles of his 2015 vintage and release them for $34K.
Now, that may be a price tag that the majority of us couldn’t even contemplate spending, but then on Instagram, a post by Amber Burke of winetraveleats, posted a photo of a bottle of Nickel & Nickel, with a hefty price tag of $185. This triggered a rather long back and back debate over whether the wine was worth it.
With that, I opted to get my friends together and have a little heart to heart about what we are willing to spend on a bottle of wine. And is any bottle worth $34K.
On this episode with me:
Anatoli Levine of Talkavino
Amber Burke of WineTravelEats
Michael Kelly of California Wine and Wineries

Today's podcast is a science podcast.. well, sort of a science podcast. I don't get into all the geekdom that I have been known to get into in the past, but it is about the science of the vineyard and the decisions that are required to make the best wines that the site allows.
As promised in the podcast, I have included an image of the beautiful kouloura and a link to our podcast on Assyrtiko.

I am answering some of those burning wine questions on today's podcast. I reached out to some amazing women in a Facebook Group I belong to called “She Podcasts.” I asked them to submit questions they had about wine that they either didn’t want to ask in public or didn’t necessarily know where to go to find the answers. They responded with some great questions. I am sure they are not the only ones with these questions, so I hope that my answers can help some of you learn a little bit more about wine. And please let me know if you have any questions that are not covered here. And before we get into the podcast, I would like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year! As we approach 2020, remember the words of Eleanor Roosevelt, “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”

Today, we return to Winephabet Street where the letter of the day is C! Chenin Blanc originated in the Loire Valley of France. Today, it is extremely common in South Africa, which has about 1/5th of the plantings, as well as coming more popular in the United States. Known to be a rather versatile grape, with the ability to produce both still and sparkling wines as well as dry, semi sweet and sweet wines. So uncork, unscrew or saber a bottle and join us as we discuss Chenin Blanc’s history, general characteristics, food pairings and leave you with 5 fast facts. And if you could please take a moment to rate and review the podcast, I would be immensely thankful!
