Heralded editor and master storyteller, Felicity Carter is charged with interviewing Feiring. In the session, Carter will explore what it takes to overcome wine media controversy, tell a good wine story about wine, and champion the underdogs until the wine world sits up and takes notice.

Le vin naturel est-il devenu (trop) mainstream ? Avec Alice Feiring (autrice, journaliste), Sophie Nézet (caviste), et Jean-Hugues Bretin (co-créateur de l'application Raisin). Interprète : Anne Zunino. Débat animé par Antonin Iommi-Amunategui. En 2023, c'est un fait : le vin naturel est partout. Chez les cavistes, indépendants ou non, en grande distribution, mais aussi dans les podcasts, à la radio, au cinéma… Ce qui n'était il y a 10 ou 15 ans qu'un phénomène minoritaire pour initiés a atteint le grand public. Que disent cette exposition et cette visibilité du marché de ce vin en France et dans le monde ? Au-delà de cette représentation qui est peut-être biaisée, quels sont les vrais chiffres de sa consommation ? Quels impacts peuvent avoir ce type de viticulture et de vinification, voire cette culture du milieu "nature", sur la totalité de la filière et sur la société ? Et surtout : peut-on encore parler de vin naturel quand il est produit à grande échelle et qu'il devient un argument marketing parmi d'autres ? Le salon "Sous les pavés la vigne" à Paris a réuni le samedi 13 mai 2023 trois spécialistes et figures de ce milieu : Alice Feiring, autrice et journaliste américaine pionnière de la mouvance naturelle, contradictrice historique de Robert Parker, dont le dernier livre, "Si vous voulez tomber amoureux, buvez ceci" vient de paraître aux éditions Nouriturfu ; Sophie Nézet, caviste au Ravitailleur (Paris XIIe), quotidiennement au contact des anciens et nouveaux consommateurs de vin naturel, et Jean-Hugues Bretin, co-créateur de l'application Raisin qui recense depuis 2016 domaines natures et établissements qui vendent ces vins. +++++ Montage, musique du générique : Laurent Le Coustumer pour RadioVino

L'exercice n'a pas changé : lire d'une seule traite (ou presque) près de 30 extraits de livres, un par éditeur indépendant présent au salon. Défi relevé avec maestria par David, qui nous emmène dans une ba(l)lade entre textes drôles et extraits intenses pendant presque une heure. ++++++ Lecture : David Large Accompagnement : Laurent Le Coustumer Présentation : Antonin Iommi-Amunategui

The Marys are honored to have wine writer extraordinare Alice Feiring on our pod! Acclaimed wine writer Alice Feiring has been in love with wine for decades. She started her sensory training at very young age, sniffing everything along with her grandfather. Little could she have imagined then growing up to be the OG natural wine movement writer, or the person to take down the homogenous ”Parkerization” of wine, a style favored by one wine critic that changed the way many wines around the world were - and still are made. Now Alice has released her sixth book, To Fall in Love Drink This: A Wine Writer's Memoir. But as you'll find out in her engaging chat with us, the Marys, Alice's is not your typical wine memoir. Instead of touting the great vineyards she's visited or wines she's tasted, she recounts an escape from a serial killer - and her reconnection with the perpetrator, and she gives wine recommendations to a plumber, to help him fall in love. You'll want to get your hands on her book right away, and fair warning, it's a page turner that you can't put down.

Growing up in an Orthodox Jewish family on Long Island and attending Yeshiva Univ., writing about wine was far in the future for Alice Feiring. As a young writer with a picky palate, she followed her "nose" and curiosity to learn and write on the topic, among others. Now a respected journalist and advocate for natural wines, she has written several books on the topic and writes the informative blog on natural wine, The Feiring Line. Alice discusses her memoir "To Fall in Love, Drink This."

From veteran wine writer and James Beard Award winner Alice Feiring, an insightful and entertaining memoir of wine, love, heartbreak, and the never-ending process of coming-of-age.Called everything from the Patti Smith to the Ruth Bader Ginsburg of natural wines, Alice Feiring is a special sort of wine writer—the kind who dares to disagree with wine “experts,” and who believes wholeheartedly that the best wine writing is about life.To Fall in Love, Drink This is both a love letter to wine and a lifelong coming-of-age story. In a series of candid, wise, and humorous personal essays, Feiring serves up a memoir in vignettes. She tells the story of her parents' divorce, her first big wine assignment, the end of an eleven-year relationship, the death of her father, a near-fatal brush with a serial killer, pandemic lockdown, and more—and suffuses each with love, romance, pain, joy, and wine. Each essay is “accompanied” by a no-nonsense wine take-away designed to answer the questions everyday wine lovers have about wine—age, price, grapes, vineyards, and vintners.This frank, charismatic work is a refreshingly grounded addition to the popular—and notoriously stuffy—genre of wine-writing. Feiring has crafted a timeless, positively unpretentious memoir that will appeal to everyone who has ever enjoyed a glass of wine.Buy the book from Wellington Square Bookshop - ​https://wellingtonsquarebooks.indiecommerce.com/book/9781982176761

Welcome to Episode 994 Cynthia Chaplin interviews Alice Feiring, in this installment of Voices, on the Italian Wine Podcast. More about today's guest: Alice Feiring is an American journalist and author, for several years a wine and travel columnist for Time magazine, and known as an advocate for "natural wine". In addition to contributions to publications such as The New York Times, New York Magazine, San Francisco Chronicle, LA Times, Condé Nast Traveler and Forbes Traveler, her blog "The Feiring Line" (formerly: "Veritas in Vino") is considered one of the best in its specific category, and her voice described by Mike Steinberger as part of a new wave of "real flowering of high-quality wine journalism". In 2011, Feiring was selected as "Online Communicator of the Year" by the Louis Roederer International Wine Writer Awards. On Sept. 30, 2020, Feiring was named a Knight of the French Order of Agricultural Merit. Her first book, published in May 2008, The Battle for Wine and Love: Or How I Saved the World from Parkerization, described as "an opinionated look at the fight to preserve authenticity and diversity in wine", due to its perceived "declaration of war" against critic Robert Parker found some controversy well before its date of release. Reviewing the book, Eric Asimov later wrote, "Ms. Feiring is an uncompromising judge of wine and people who can no more stomach a lover's preference for a wine she abhors than she can the presence of a microwave in her kitchen." Feiring's critical statements against California wine as "overblown, over-alcoholed, over-oaked, overpriced and over-manipulated" have also sparked controversy. In 2011, Feiring published Naked Wine: Letting Grapes Do What Comes Naturally. Her 2016 book For the Love of Wine: My Odyssey Through the World's Most Ancient Wine Culture,[16] explores the wine of Georgia. In 2017, Feiring published The Dirty Guide to Wine: Following Flavor from Ground to Glass.

Di cosa parliamo quando parliamo di vini naturali? Lo abbiamo chiesto, tra gli altri, ad Alice Feiring, la giornalista americana a cui si deve la definizione di questi vini ricavati da uve coltivate da agricoltura biologica o biodinamica, pressate il più delicatamente possibile, con una quantità minima di zolfo e nessun processo aggiuntivo. A raccontarcene la storia, invece, è la figlia di Josko Gravner, che è stato il pioniere in Italia di un approccio alla produzione profondamente diverso da quello seguito fino allo scandalo del metanolo. Quell'approccio, oggi, è condiviso da decine di vignaioli che agli inizi degli Anni Duemila si sono anche costituiti in un'associazione dal nome eloquente, Vini Veri, e hanno contribuito alla diffusione di una nuova tendenza, proprio mentre tra i più giovani stava maturando una grande sensibilità per l'ambiente e l'ecologia.Oltre che nelle modalità di produzione, questi vini sono diversi anche nel gusto: hanno note spiazzanti, imprecise, qualche volta proprio puzzolenti, che però non sono necessariamente dei difetti.Produzione e adattamento della serie di Carlo Annese.Editing audio di Giulia Pacchiarini.

This talk was recorded by Heritage Radio Network as a part of RAW Wine NYC 2019's Speakers' Corner - with Lewis Dickson (La Cruz de Comal), Deirdre Heekin (La Garagista Farm & Winery) & Ryan Stirm (Stirm Wine Company) in conversation with Alice Feiring (The Feiring Line)Hybrid grapes are on the verge of shedding their vile reputation. We’re not just talking acceptance, we’re talking praise, praise for their ease of farming, flavor and potential vineyard savior status in the age of climate change. In part this new dawning for these grapes is a direct response to work done with them in the world of natural wine.However, we use the word hybrid, but do we really know what they are? Are they franken clones as so many believe them to be? Naturally occurring or well, something else? Will your beloved Burgundy pinot noir one day be planted to Black Spanish? Will the new Trousseau be Marquette? Come and geek out about this, learn the truth and taste some beautiful examples that, we bet, will stun you.Join Heritage Radio Network on Monday, November 11th, for a raucous feast to toast a decade of food radio.

In the first half of this week's Food Talk, Mike chats with Fuchsia Dunlop, an English writer and cook who specializes in Chinese cuisine. She was an East Asian analyst at the BBC World Service, and was the first westerner to train as a chef at the Sichuan Institute of Higher Cuisine in Chengdu, Sichuan, China.

The average consumer takes for granted that not all wines are created equally. Conscious consumers know that there are 200 ingredients on the list of government-approved additives for wine. Unlike food, wine manufacturers are not required to list their ingredients (which can include animal proteins, oak chips, sulfurs, yeasts, enzymes, preservatives, and “Mega Purple” which is a brand of highly concentrated wine color) on the side label. This renders most consumers to be clueless about what exactly is in their wine and what is used to produce it. In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer talks to award winning expert, Alice Feiring about her best-selling book, Naked Wine, the process of natural wine making. Alice Feiring is an award-winning food and wine journalist and author of the Battle for Wine and Love. Formerly the wine/travel columnist for Time, she now writes for the New York Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, Conde Nast Traveler and the Los Angeles Times Magazine, among many others. Stay tuned!

After the break, Mike is joined by winemakers Ana Diogo-Draper of Artesa Vineyards & Winery and Richie Allen of Rombauer Vineyards.

On this week's episode of In the Drink, host Joe Campanale is joined in the studio by Alice Feiring, a James Beard Award-winning wine journalist. She runs the newsletter The Feiring Line, and is also the author of the new book For the Love of Wine: My Odyssey through the World's Most Ancient Wine Culture, a chronicle of Georgian wines. Tune in to hear them discuss this most ancient of wine cultures.

This week on _ Food Talk _, host Mike Colameco welcomes guests Alice Feiring, Allesandra Altieri, Michele Brogioni, Vito Gnazzo, and Gianfranco Sorrentino to the studio. Kick off the episode with wine writer Alice Feiring, who explains that “better” means wines made from organic viticulture with nothing added and nothing taken away. Talking to Mike about the recent increase in the cost of wine and the resurgence of Georgian wine, the two go back and forth on their recent favorites.  Allesandra Altieri joins next and is the director of Thomas Keller’s Bouchon Bakery where she oversees the brand’s operations, in addition to leading the kitchen and retail teams nationwide.  Alessandra first joined the Thomas Keller Restaurant Group in 2009 as pastry sous chef at Per Se. During her time, she explains how she quickly to the philosophy and standards of the group while effectively proving to be a leader in the kitchen.  Rounding out the episode, Mike welcomes the team from Il Gattopardo: Chef Michele Brogioni (The Leopard), Chef Vito Gnazzo il Gattopardo, and Gianfranco Sorrentino.

Food Talk with Mike Colameco is brought to you by the following generous underwriters: This week on a brand new Food Talk, host Mike Colameco first welcomes wine writer Alice Feiring. Raised on Manischewitz, it didn’t take her long to find the better stuff. To Alice, “better” means wines made from organic viticulture with nothing added and nothing taken away. Talking to Mike about her recent favorites and tastings, the two have a great conversation dedicated to natural wines, which she has helped to define. Approaching wine from the ground up, Alice works much like an anthropologist to respect and preserve what is indigenous to wines and their traditions, and this is obvious throughout her appearance on today’s show reflecting that wine unlocks culture and heritage, along with methods that reflect and relate human stories. After the break, Mike sits down with Chantal Martineau, author of “How the Gringos Stole Tequila: The Modern Age of Mexico’s Most Traditional Spirit” chatting all about the progression tequila has made to the status of a fine sipping spirit. Chantal herself spent several years immersing herself in the world of tequila — traveling to visit distillers and agave farmers in Mexico, meeting and tasting with leading experts and mixologists around the United States, and interviewing academics on either side of the border who have studied the spirit. Her book offers a glimpse into the social history and ongoing impact of this one-of-a-kind drink plus thoughts on mezcal, the mother of tequila! “It is a passion to bring back the soil and this region with a phenomenal heritage.” —Alice Feiring on Food Talk

Deirdre Heekin is the author of An Unlikely Vineyard. She is the proprietor and wine director of Osteria Pane e Salute, an acclaimed restaurant and wine bar in Woodstock, Vermont. Heekin and her husband and head chef, Caleb Barber, are the authors of In Late Winter We Ate Pears (Chelsea Green, 2009), and she is also the author of Libation: A Bitter Alchemy (Chelsea Green, 2009) and Pane e Salute (Invisible Cities Press, 2002). Heekin and her husband live on a small farm in Barnard, Vermont, where they grow both the vegetables for their restaurant and natural wines and ciders for their la garagista label. An Unlikely VineyardThe Education of a Farmer and Her Quest for Terroir Is it possible to capture landscape in a bottle? To express the essence of place—its geology, geography, climate, and soil—as well as the skill of the winegrower? That’s what Deirdre Heekin and her husband have set out to accomplish on their tiny, eight-acre hillside farm in Vermont—in their quest for terroir. “Terroir is about mud and stones, but it is also about the varietal nature of the plants or animals that grow in or on this land, the microclimate of a hillside or plain, and the personality of those who do the tending. It represents the six sides of the honeycomb: geology, variety, geography, climate, social culture, and the human hand,” writes Heekin inAn Unlikely Vineyard. “Another winegrower I know says that what is poured into the glass is a liquid landscape painting of the 365 days of a certain year. This is my hope on our farm: to capture the four seasons of each year in the bottle, a liquid portrait of our landscape and its history. This is my quest.”An Unlikely Vineyard tells the story of their farm and its evolution, from overgrown fields to a fertile, productive, and beautiful landscape that melds with its natural environment. But the book is much more than that. It also presents, through the example of their farming journey and winegrowing endeavors, an impressive amount of information onhow to think about almost every aspect of gardening: from composting to trellising; from cider and perry making to old garden roses; from pruning (or not) to dealing naturally with pests and diseases.   Challenged by cold winters, wet summers, and other factors, they set about to grow not only a vineyard, but an orchard of heirloom apples, pears, and plums, as well as gardens filled with vegetables, herbs, roses, and wildflowers destined for their own table and for the kitchen of their small restaurant. They wanted to create, or rediscover, a sense of place,and to grow food naturally using the philosophy and techniques of organics, permaculture, and biodynamic farming. This book is proof of their success, writes Alice Feiring in the book’s Foreword: “In a state so committed to organic and unprocessed food, Deirdre is currently the sole voice for the same kind of wine. But in writing this book, she proves to all who endeavor to make true wine in climates where grapes struggle for ripeness that it is indeed possible. Others will follow. How could they not when the results are so stellar?”Accompanied throughout by lush photos, this gentle narrative will appeal to anyone who loves food, farms, and livingwell.
