Today, I am excited to share my conversation with Jason Haas of Tablas Creek. The winery can be said to practically have put sustainable farming on the map. Between Jason’s blog, Instagram Lives, and YouTube channel, there is always something exciting to learn about wine. Through a partnership with Château de Beaucastel in the Rhone Valley, Tablas Creek is also responsible for bringing Rhone varieties to Paso Robles and beyond.

Today, I am sharing a Best of episode. This originally dropped on June 22, 2020 and has had a significant amount of downloads, so I thought I would bring it up to the forefront for anyone who missed it.
Do you remember your elementary school days? There were the small desks and short water fountains. You stayed in one classroom, but the subject you were learning about changed throughout the day. Oh, and don’t forget about recess! The best time of the day!
Back then, the three Rs were all the rage! Reading, Writing and Arithmetic. It is said that there are three learning styles: visual, auditory and kinesthetic. For wine lovers, kinesthetic is definitely our favorite modality. The best way to learn about wine is to taste it and over the last few months I was privileged to taste my way through the Three Bs of Italy.
On today’s episode, I am sharing another Raid Y(our) Cellar virtual event I attended hosted by Benchmark Wine Group on Barolo and Barbaresco made from Nebbiolo and Brunello which is made from Sangiovese. Better known as the Three Bs.
These virtual tastings are free to join but you may want to contribute in support of the United Sommeliers Foundation, a non for profit organization that helps wine industry professionals during times of hardship. If you’d like to make a donation you can click here.
Now, unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and lets discuss the 100% Nebbiolo regions of Barolo and Barbaresco.

Today, I am sitting down with Sean Geoghegan, winemaker for Derby Wine Estates in downtown Paso Robles. The building, which is easily spotted from the 101 freeway thanks to its height and salmon color, used to be the Paso Robles Almond Grower's Building. Derby Wine Estates has three Estate vineyards across the central coast. During the conversation, we discuss the history of the building and I had the pleasure to do a comparative tasting between the 2011 and the 2021 1510 White.

Today, we return to downtown Paso Robles for an interview with Caitlin Pianetta of Pianetta Winery. The winery, itself is located i San Miguel, just a short 20 minute drive outside of Paso, but the tasting room is located in downtown on 13th St.
Pianetta Winery focuses on vineyard specific red wines emphasizing specific varietal characteristics. During the conversation we discuss the two wines they started with (Cabernet / Syrah) and what it is like to take over winemaking from Caitlin’s father. Caitlin shares some light on the Illusions and reality of the wine industry?

Today, we return to Oregon to discuss their red wine production. Oregon grows more than 70 different grape varieties, but their name is almost synonymous with Pinot Noir. However, don’t be surprised to see Mencia and Blaufränkisch on the wine list. (just to name a couple)
Listen in as Oregon winemakers discuss Pinot Noir along with some newer and less popular grape varieties they are excited to be working with.

Today, I am sitting down with Deb Stilson of Stilson Cellars in downtown Paso Robles. What started as a “Wouldn’t that be great if…” led to “We can actually do this.. And we are doing it.” After months of searching for the ideal location, Deb and her sons, Cole and Tyler took the plunge.
Stilson Cellars, located on Railroad St is a boutique family owned and run winery. Their vineyard and home are in the Geneseo District. Geneseo roughly translates to shining or beautiful valley in Iroquois.

Today we return to Winephabet Street where the letter of the day is L and it stands for Lagrein. The Italian grape variety meant that it was morning drinking for me. We had the honor of having Karoline Walch of Elena Walch winery in Alto Aldige, Italy.
During the interview, we learn the history of the village, the grape variety and some fun facts. This is definitely one you won’t want to miss.

Today I am sharing another episode of a virtual Master Class I attended on Oregon Wine. May was Oregon Wine Month and in celebration, this Master Class was dedicated to the white varietals. I think many people think red when Oregon is mentioned and it was interesting to be reminded that there are some great white wines available to us also.
