Before I get into the podcast, I wanted to let you know that Apple had a podcast update. This caused an issue with the automatic downloads. If you are not receiving Exploring the Podcast in your “next up” feed, it is because the settings have changed. Please go to library, then shows, and click Exploring the Wine Glass. If you don’t see a checkmark in the top right corner, next to the three dots, the system does not download automatically. Please click on the down arrow and turn on automatic downloads. This will put a checkmark next to the three dots. This will allow you to always know when a new episode drops. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you so much for following Exploring the Wine Glass.
Today on the podcast, I am sharing my conversation with Gary Eberle of Eberle Winery in Paso Robles. Gary is truly an American Legend. He is the recipient of the 2020 Wine Enthusiast Wine Star Award. He is almost single handedly responsible for the pioneering of Syrah here in the United States and is known as the godfather of Paso Robles. If visiting Paso, Eberle is a must stop, and more than likely, you will find Gary enjoying a glass of Viognier or Cabernet Sauvignon on the patio greeting customers. It was an honor to speak with Gary and I know you are going to enjoy the conversation.

Today on the podcast,we return to Winephabet Street where the letter of the day is P and it stands for Petit Manseng. This is a new to me grape variety. I have heard of the grape, but had never had the opportunity to taste it. So I was excited to learn all about the variety from Lee Hartman of BlueStone Vineyards in Virgina.

Today on the podcast, I am sharing three short interviews with Paso Robles winemakers. I had the pleasure of attending Esprit du Vin earlier in the month. This is a celebration of the wineries of 46 East. The event took place at the beautiful Riboli Event Center. Attendees were able to stroll around the room and taste over 30 wines from all the 46 East wineries. Each table had gourmet cheese to pair with the wine.

Today on the podcast, I enjoyed a riveting conversation with some of my wine friends. In 2023, there were a lot of winery buyouts. It seemed like another smaller brand was being gobbled up by the big players such as Gallo or Treasury. We questioned if this was a good thing or a bad thing. Plus, what would we do in that situation? Would we give up our brand and if so, what would be done with all that money?!

I took a drive to the west side of Paso for this episode. Just a short drive from the 101 on 46 West, sits Four Lanterns. Owned by Steve and Jackie Gleason. I have interviewed Steve before on the podcast, but this short and sweet interview brings in the bubbles! And you all know how I love Sparkling wine. Enjoy the conversation.

Today we return to Winephabet Street, where the letter of the day is O and it stands for Orange Muscat. Although the origins of Orange Muscat are not guaranteed, it is thought to be from Italy or France. It was once popular, but today it is not widely planted.
For this episode, we went directly to the source. When you google Orange Muscat, Quady Winery is number one on the display. Andrew Quady purchased a plot of land in Reedly, CA in 1980 and is the authority on the variety. Listen, as we discuss his road to winemaking (not a typical one,) how he fell in love with the grape and how the wine is made. It’s a fun one!

Merry Christmas!!!! I have the perfect gift for under your tree. Today, I am sharing the conversation between winemakers who have a special place in their hearts for Cabernet Franc. This past December 4th, Cab Franc Day, we got together via Zoom and shared our love of the greatest grape variety on earth.
We talk about why we love the grape, get a little geeky about soil and canopy management and talk about our passion projects. I hope you enjoy the conversation!

Welcome back to Winephabet Street. Today the letter of the day is N and it stands for Nero d’Avola. Nero d'Avola is synonymous with Sicilian Wine. It is the most notable indigenous grape variety. Although originally produced as a bulk wine, the times began to change in the 1990s, where it became the king of grapes in the region. To the eye, Nero d'Avola is known to be inky, with a deep red hue. On the palate, it exudes blackberries, cherries, and plums with an undertone of spice. I’d like to thank our special guest and sponsor, Gaetana Jacono of Valle dell'Acate

Happy #CabFrancDay! It is my favorite day of the year! I find it amazing to think that eight years ago, I decided to create a holiday that was dedicated to the best grape varietal there is and today, the holiday is celebrated around the world.
I will be hosting an X (formerly known as Twitter) chat tonight at 5pm Pacific and will be moderating a producers roundtable at 6pm Pacific. There is still time to register for the roundtable. It is free to attend and will provide you the opportunity to listen to producers who are fanatical about Cabernet Franc as well as ask them all your Cab Franc questions. The registration link is in the shownotes.

Today I am sharing another webinar I attended. This one was sponsored by Wine Scholar Guild and discussed the wines of Georgia. The Republic of Georgia is known as the “cradle of wine” and the birthplace of wine. The first wine was made over 8,000 years ago in the region. Today there are over 500 grape varieties and 29 appellations.
I hope you enjoy the conversation, and let me know if you have tried any of the wines discussed in the webinar.
