Podcast appearances and mentions of abe schoener

In this episode of the Vint Podcast Billy Galanko interviews southern California old-vine-winemaker, Abe Schoener. Abe is a former philosophy professor and the innovative winemaker behind the Scholium Project, a Californian micronegociant winery known for its unconventional methods. Although influenced by natural winemaking, Schoener does not strictly adhere to its principles and takes an open approach to the craft with a focus on old-vine fruit.Schoener's latest venture is an urban winery near the Los Angeles River, aimed at aligning with the city's urban demographic. This project began in 2019 with minimal equipment and a focus on sourcing unique vineyards across California, particularly those with old vines.His winemaking philosophy is flexible, using sulfur dioxide (SO2) selectively to enhance the wine's quality. Schoener's approach emphasizes a deep commitment to the vineyard and a willingness to experiment with under-appreciated sites. We hope you enjoy hearing from this SoCal wine icon and learning more about unique winemaking philosophies. Chapters:02:58 Exploring Unique Wine Experiences06:33 Interview with Abe Schoener: LA's Wine Insider07:22 The History and Philosophy of Winemaking08:49 Reviving Old Vineyards in Southern California12:06 The Mystery of Lone Wolf Vineyard22:51 The Legacy of Mission Grapes25:16 Winemaking in Los Angeles Today27:28 The Shift of Vineyards to Cucamonga28:37 The Birth of Los Angeles River Wine Company31:16 Challenges and Innovations in Winemaking37:28 Exploring Cucamonga Vineyards48:54 Future Prospects and Distribution56:11 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsThe Vint Podcast is presented by Coravin, the world's leader in wine preservation systems.

To download the transcript CLICK HERE Today's episode is about the grape variety Palomino. Often thought of as a neutral grape variety yet there are certain people in the wine industry that are true believers like my guest today, Christina Rasmussen. She is a wine writer, speaker and has even made her very own still Palomino wine. So, I'm fascinated to pick Christina's brain to hear more about her love for this grape variety and her love for farming the soil and terroir. So, she will be talking about some of her wine projects and how she brings the winemakers story to life. And then, we will be discussing Palomino and all the winemaking steps that she took to make her very own still white wine.

Abe Schoener has been a disrupter and part of the avant garde of the new school of California wine for so long he’s old school new school. Since 2000 he has been the mind behind The Scholium Project – his winery/philosophical pursuit of a natural, vineyard-specific wine experience. Recently he has moved his base of operations to downtown Los Angeles, and is beginning to make wines from unique old vineyards in Southern California under the auspices of the Los Angeles River Wine Company. Some of the vineyards Abe is working with predate prohibition, and have been untouched by human hands since the 1950’s or 60’s.In our conversation, Abe digs into how he has begun to carefully care for these special vineyards and make wine from them, and what these wines taste like now and promise to taste like in the future. We also talk about Abe’s non-dogmatic perspective on being in the Natural Wine category, and his desire to make wine a unique experience rather than a something defined by grape variety.Abe’s temporary winery location is outdoors in downtown LA industrial zone, and we had the great fortune of recording this podcast while someone was jackhammering nearby throughout the entire interview. So, please bear with the authentic audio background texture. Other than that, it’s a fantastic interview that I hope you’ll get as much out of as I did.

Maître de Chai translates to cellar master, or the person responsible for the development and aging of wine. By extension, the humble cellar master is the person responsible for the management of the winery. Established in 2012, Maître de Chai is the personal project of Marty Winters and Alex Pitts, two friends who met in the kitchen of the famed two Michelin star Cyrus in Healdsburg, California. Their focus is on showcasing old-vine, organically farmed classic varietal vineyards. With experiences on the floor of The French Laundry and The Restaurant at Meadowood and in the cellar of Abe Schoener’s Scholium Project, Marty and Alex had a tri-fold education with focus on classic cooking and wine producers while experimenting in the cellar with varietals and winemaking techniques. Together they look to make wines of high quality in a way that best showcases the sense of place where the grapes are grown and the personality of the vineyard. From the ground to the bottle, the character of the wine is the focus of their endeavor. They source grapes from unique and distinct single vineyards that are impeccably farmed here in California.

In a first for the show, Abe Schoener interviews Levi about the podcast, writing, working (& not working) as a sommelier, and Orange wine.

On today’s episode of In the Drink, Abe Schoener, winemaker at the Scholium project, joins host Joe Campanale to talk about the winery, their wines, and the changing wine industry in New York. At the Scholium Project, Abe and his team make wine, but only when first thinking hard about it. The wines he creates reflect a desire to understand and have a respect for tradition. He follows methods that in some ways are very old-fashioned, and in some ways rather unconventional, such as using techniques like food treading to distribute the grapes in the best possible way. Learn more about the wine maker, and how to buy his wines on this episode, and at the Scholium Project. This program has been sponsored by Brooklyn Slate. “When I started making wine, I don’t think I looked at it philosophically at all, but it’s given me a firm foundation.” [4:30] “When we make wines, we’re engaged in making something that’s meant to fall apart.” [6:01] — Abe Schoener on In the Drink

Abe Schoener talks to Levi about the destruction caused by Hurricane Sandy at Red Hook Winery, where he's a partner. Abe also discusses his career and work in California under his critically acclaimed Scholium Project label.
