A stone's throw from Bordeaux are wine regions that have been around longer and make extraordinary wines, many which taste like nothing you've had before. The wines of SW France will thrill you! Although under the radar,they aren't that obscure (you can actually get them!) & are definitely worth knowing about!
We discuss the wildfires raging in the North Coast of California and give ideas on what that could mean for the industry. Then we talk about one of the best (maybe unknown) value regions for wine in the world, Rapel Valley in Chile and its sub regions!
Our 2017 list of top 10 wines for fall (or early spring if you're in the southern hemisphere!)! The smell of falling leaves is here & it's time for a change from crisp, refreshing sippers to something heavier, earthier, and better with warm, hearty food.
Based on questions from two listeners, we dig into the ins and outs of aroma and taste, giving you actionable steps to build your sense of smell and taste...and vocabulary. Thanks to listeners Caryn and Ted for the topic!
After a few listener questions on what WFNP was, is, & will be, we hit restart. We talk about: What if you or a friend was new to wine? How should they approach the subject? Where should they start? We answer & then add a few words from our 1st listener!
Cava is Spain's premier sparkling wine and it's unique to its core. From native grapes to diverse sourcing to a new top tier classification from the best producers we cover it all and give you a new appreciation for the wine and the great places it's heading in the future.
In a small area of Piedmont is a hidden gem that makes some of the best value Nebbiolo and most unique whites of Italy, Arneis. If you love Italy and want to add to the list of gems, this podcast is a MUST listen!
In March 2017, I went to Mosel & spoke with Dr. Dirk Richter, 9th generation owner/operator of Max Ferd. Richter. The wines are stunning and Dr. Richter's explanation of Mosel wine, history, and culture will be the best you'll ever hear.
Ian Renwick, owner of Jaded Palates wine in the UK and occasional co-host returns to talk about a recent trip to Tejo, Portugal. It's a fascinating region experiencing a renaissance and we give you the inside line on the best wines to seek out!
