One of the more intriguing elements of wine is that it can appeal to a wide range of people. In wide range, I mean it has appeal on so many different levels; a novice can just enjoy their favorite wines from the supermarket and delve into the history when inclined; a collector can peel each wine back and learn of its origin and take it a step deeper, the wine enthusiast that wants to put their toe in the water of wine knowledge can enroll in one the wine certification organizations and earn a certification and then there's a couple of levels of wine knowledge until you basically stop at Charles Ludington. With two bachelor degrees, one masters and a Phd. One might say he has reached a level few, if any, other academians have reached. And because of his time in front of students in a class room, Charles can articulate this knowledge in an understandable and intriguing way. If you think the world of wine is all swirling glasses and sniffing bouquets, wait until you've heard Charles Ludington—Chad, to his friends—uncork a few bottles of historical truth. Armed with not just one, but four degrees in history (and a résumé that includes playing basketball in Paris and working on the New York wine retail frontlines), Chad isn't your typical wine academic; he's something of a one-man bridge between eras, cultures, and even social classes. Dive into this episode, and you'll learn how wine is far more than a drink—it is a lens onto everything from class warfare to international politics, from covert Irish merchants shaping Bordeaux's legacy to NBA stars dueling over Grand Crus in LA bistros. Chad traces the surprising paths that led Bordeaux's cellars to be filled by Irish hands and explores why today's elite collectors find meaning in a dusty bottle—sometimes as a symbol of status, sometimes a sensory revelation, but always as a marker of time and place. You'll unpeel the layered tales of how wine moved from scandalous blends—once the height of fashion—to the hyper-strict appellations, and discover the very modern decline in wine's appeal among young people, who instead find excitement in natural wines or, oddly enough, craft beer and cocktails. Along the way, you'll reconsider the meaning of terroir, discovering just how blurred the boundaries of authenticity, tradition, and marketing really are. By the end, not only will you be able to spot the politics in your glass and the shifting gender codes of rosé, you'll also taste the romantic—and sometimes subversive—human stories that echo through every sip. This episode braids together centuries of intrigue, innovation, and, yes, a fair bit of competitive one-upmanship—pulling back the curtain on how wine tells the story of us all. #WineHistory #WineCulture #Bordeaux #NBAWine #WinePolitics #Terroir #WineEducation #WinePodcast

Tariffs have been a hot topic in recent weeks, but this issue has been ongoing. During President Trump's first term, the wine industry was caught flat-footed when, in 2019, the administration put a 25% tariff on still wines from France, Germany, Spain, and the UK (notably, Italy and Portugal were not included) as part of a trade dispute with the EU over subsidies given to Airbus. It was then that my guests – Ben Aneff and Daniel Posner started to organize and get industry leaders together to lobby Congress and try to explain why these tariffs were so harmful to wine. Those tariffs remained in place through 2021, and although there was relief for the last few years, the US Wine Trade Alliance, which was the body that formed out of the initial tariff crisis, continued to exist with Ben at the helm. In this show, I am honored to have the very busy and very awesome Ben Aneff, a native Texan who now lives in NYC and is the Managing Partner of Tribeca Wine Merchants in New York City, named one of “America's Best Wine Shops” by Food & Wine Magazine, and an “Editor's Favorite” by Wine Spectator. Ben has been actively involved in the fight against wine tariffs – working with all parts of the industry and Congress, and testifying about tariffs' effects at the International Trade Commission. He is the president of the US Wine Trade Alliance Ben Aneff, President of the U.S. Wine Trade Alliance (USWTA) & Managing Partner of Tribeca Wine Merchants I also have previous guest and Patron Daniel Posner, owner of Grapes the Wine Company in White Plains, NY. Daniel serves on the Board of Directors of the National Association of Wine Retailers, a national trade organization founded in 2006, for which he served as President from 2011 to 2019.

Pinot Noir can be a polarizing wine - some people love it, and some people just don't get it. We think that happens for a few reasons. First, most wine drinkers have been trained to think that wines are supposed to taste like Cabernet Sauvignon - big, fruit forward, high in alcohol, and very tannic. Which is just not what a great Pinot tastes like. Second, good Pinot Noirs that have a more classic style are generally not cheap. And that, our friends, is why we do these episodes. Because we want to find good Pinot Noirs - wines that have the classic Pinot tastes and smells of cherry and earth and a light mouthfeel - that don't cost a lot of money. Some say it is a fool's errand, but we are bound and determined to help you find a few good Pinot Noirs that are easy on the pocketbook and taste great. Good news! We found at least one in this episode, but you gotta listen in to learn which one!

The Smithsonian Institute wanted to know about Jerry Eisterhold. So much so, the featured an article on what one might say is a long shot at best. The idea to repropagate vines of yesteryear in America would be fruitless (pun intended). But it is quite the opposite. In this episode, you will hear the history of wine grapes in America that I would easily put down even money that the most advanced academics in the world of wine would not have a notion of the significance. It was so intriguing, that Wine Talks immediately purchased a sampling of the wines and bought the book recited in the show. Jerry Eisterhold took it upon himself to scour the United States grape nurseries and study the history of wine grapes in America to a point where he has reintroduced a dozen indigenous grape varieties back into the soil. And then comes the fun part... Making wine from these new varietals with all the moving parts that go into making wine without any of the experience of any predecessor is proving to be a task of geometric proportions. Have a listen and hear the answers to all these headwinds. PK
Adam, Joanna, and Zach are joined by VinePair assistant editor Hannah Staab to discuss her recent article about a growing trend of wine programs that exclusively serve American wine: to what extent is it driven by a lack of consumer demand, to what extent does it reflect bias within the wine industry, and to what extent is it a byproduct of our complicated and antiquated liquor laws.

The West Coast of the United States produces over 90 percent of America's wine, an alcoholic drink. However, the area is also prone to wildfires. 美国 90% 以上的葡萄酒(一种酒精饮料)产自美国西海岸。然而,该地区也容易发生野火。 Such fires cost the American wine industry billions of dollars in 2020. The smoke affects the flavor of the growing grapes that later become the wine. And, the flavor is undesirable, say some wine drinkers. 2020 年,此类火灾给美国葡萄酒行业造成了数十亿美元的损失。烟雾影响了正在生长的葡萄的风味,这些葡萄后来成为葡萄酒。而且,一些葡萄酒饮用者说,这种味道并不受欢迎。 So, wine experts from state universities in the area are working together to protect wine grapes from wildfire smoke. 因此,该地区州立大学的葡萄酒专家正在共同努力,保护酿酒葡萄免受野火烟雾的影响。In 2020, economists say, wildfires caused billions of dollars of losses, which included the wine industry. 经济学家表示,2020 年山火造成了数十亿美元的损失,其中包括葡萄酒行业。 As a result, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is paying for grape research at some state schools. They include University of California, Davis (UC Davis), Oregon State University and Washington State University. The research investment is worthy, agriculture officials say, because wine grapes are America's highest-value crop. 因此,美国农业部正在为一些州立学校的葡萄研究付费。它们包括加州大学戴维斯分校(UC Davis)、俄勒冈州立大学和华盛顿州立大学。农业官员表示,这项研究投资是值得的,因为酿酒葡萄是美国价值最高的作物。Tom Collins is a wine scientist at Washington State. He said “the ability to continue to make wine” is at risk in areas where smoke might be more common. 汤姆·柯林斯 (Tom Collins) 是华盛顿州的葡萄酒科学家。他表示,在烟雾可能更常见的地区,“继续酿酒的能力”面临风险。 Cole Cerrato is a researcher working on the problem in Oregon. He stood in Oregon State's vineyard, near the small town of Alpine. He lit a fire and blew the smoke through a hose and into a row of grapes covered in plastic. 科尔·塞拉托 (Cole Cerrato) 是俄勒冈州研究该问题的研究员。他站在俄勒冈州的葡萄园里,靠近阿尔卑斯小镇。他点燃了火,然后通过软管将烟雾吹进一排覆盖着塑料的葡萄中。 Cerrato and other researchers have done this before. They turned the treated grapes into wine. The result was, the wine had an unpleasant flavor of smoke and ash. Cerrato 和其他研究人员之前就已经这样做过。他们将经过处理的葡萄变成了葡萄酒。结果是,这款酒带有令人不愉快的烟味和灰烬味。The scientists are working to find a way to keep the smoke from getting through the grape skins and creating a bad taste in the wine. 科学家们正在努力寻找一种方法来防止烟雾穿过葡萄皮并在葡萄酒中产生不良味道。Some are trying to create a process that will treat wine and remove the smokiness. But they are concerned such a process might remove some of the wine's good flavors, too. 有些人正在尝试创造一种处理葡萄酒并去除烟熏味的工艺。但他们担心这样的过程也可能会消除葡萄酒的一些良好风味。 Others think they can combine smoke-affected grapes with other grapes. The mix might lessen the smoky flavor. 其他人则认为他们可以将受烟雾影响的葡萄与其他葡萄结合起来。这种混合可能会减少烟熏味。 And Collins is working on a spray made from water and a kind of clay that would protect the grapes from smoke. But all the grapes would need to be washed first before being turned into wine. 柯林斯正在研究一种由水和一种粘土制成的喷雾,可以保护葡萄免受烟雾的侵害。但所有的葡萄在变成酒之前都需要先清洗。 Oregon State is experimenting with a similar spray treatment for grapes. 俄勒冈州正在试验对葡萄进行类似的喷雾处理。 In addition, the USDA has provided $7 million toward setting up smoke sensors in vineyards. 此外,美国农业部还提供了 700 万美元用于在葡萄园安装烟雾传感器。 Anita Oberholster is leading the efforts to save the wine grapes at UC Davis. In an internet post by UC Davis, she said a network of sensors would help grape growers learn if their grapes are at risk. In addition, the readings from the sensors will permit the growers to prove their grapes are free from smoke damage. 安妮塔·奥伯霍尔斯特 (Anita Oberholster) 正在领导拯救加州大学戴维斯分校酿酒葡萄的工作。她在加州大学戴维斯分校的一篇互联网帖子中表示,传感器网络将帮助葡萄种植者了解他们的葡萄是否面临风险。此外,传感器的读数将使种植者能够证明他们的葡萄没有受到烟雾的损害。Winemakers are glad that the universities are working to help the industry. Greg Jones runs the Abacela winery in southern Oregon and is the director of the state's winemaking trade group. 酿酒师很高兴大学正在努力帮助该行业。格雷格·琼斯(Greg Jones)经营着俄勒冈州南部的阿巴塞拉酒庄,也是该州酿酒贸易集团的主管。 He said the research has “gone a long way.” Now the grape-growers can quickly find out if the fruit has been hurt by the smoke. In the past, winemakers would not know about the wine until it was ready to drink. 他说这项研究“取得了长足的进步”。现在,葡萄种植者可以快速查明果实是否受到烟雾的损害。过去,酿酒师直到酒准备好饮用时才知道它的情况。 “I think it's increasingly clear that we're not likely to find a magic bullet,” Collins said. But, he said, the researchers will find ways to keep the wine business successful. “我认为越来越明显的是,我们不太可能找到灵丹妙药,”柯林斯说。但是,他说,研究人员将找到保持葡萄酒业务成功的方法。

Wisconsin is rarely acknowledged when it comes to serious discussions about wine and wine-making. But all of that is changing thanks to the work of folks including Erin Rasmussen, winemaker and founder of American Wine Project.This week, we're sitting down with Rasmussen to discuss her journey to the wine world and the impetus for her return to Wisconsin to explore the subtleties of cold-climate winemaking. Along the way we chat about the history of winemaking in the U.S., the challenges Rasmussen faces as she strives to create remarkable wine made with Wisconsin-grown grapes and the innovation that's changing the way folks view winter hardy grapes and their often unique flavor profiles.
Today we tell the tale of American Wine and booze through the eyes of those who became president. The story of how wine and alcohol influenced and was influenced by politics stretches back to the founding of Jamestown in what is now Virginia and continues to this day. Which presidents knew the most about wine? Who drank the most? What wine was behind helping to end the Cold War? Do any of Thomas Jefferson's famous bottles still survive today? All of this and more will be told in today's new podcast just in time for President's Day. Guests include winemakers and staff at Château d'Yquem, Schramsberg Vineyards, Stone Tower Winery, and SOMM TV. Make sure to sign up for sommtv.com to see dozens of historical episodes and venture into the cellars we talk about on this podcast.
Winemaster Randy Ullom shares a glass of Chardonnay with Trish and spills the beans on how he got that title. Randy was recently named "American Wine Legend" in Wine Enthusiast's Wine Star Awards. He talks about growing up with a winemaking dad (he did it as a hobby), his adventures in Chile, and that lightbulb moment when he decided winemaking was what he wanted to pursue. After a few years in Chile, he moved back to the states to go to school to study viticulture and enology. He worked at some wineries in Ohio and upstate New York, but in 1981, Sonoma called and Randy says he didn't look back. After working at DeLoach Vineyards, he got a job at Kendall Jackson and he says things really took off. He's coming up on 3 decades at the winery and talks about harvest, the initiatives he helped put in place, and why the winery is known for its Chardonnay. *This episode sponsored by Tap & Vine 559 : THE place to eat, meet and drink in Southern Oregon.*

Can a bottle of wine change your life? If you are in a receptive mode, the stars are aligned for you and the right questions asked, Yes says Rebekah Wineburg, winemaker at Quintessa. In our latest episode she recalls such an encounter with a bottle of Ornellaia 1998 while having lunch in San Francisco, with her father. This bottle started her very own ‘Butterfly Effect' that led her eventually to be at the helm of one of California's premium estate, Quintessa.
My guest for this episode is Erin Rasmussen. Erin has made wine in Napa and on New Zealand, where she also completed graduate studies in winemaking and viticulture at Lincoln University. She took this transnational, transcontinental wine experience and returned to her childhood home of Wisconsin, where she founded the American Wine Project in 2018. With The American Wine Project Erin explores the American grape varieties adapted to her beautiful corner of Wisconsin. Erin is innovative, applying a natural approach to winemaking informed by her breadth of experience in other, very different wine regions, to make some very exciting wines in her cold climate. I had such a fun time picking Erin's brain that I forgot to have her introducer herself and the American Wine Project until the end, so this is a slightly topsy turvy conversation that covers a lot of ground with truffles of delicious insight buried throughout. Erin shares some unique findings relating to whole cluster fermentations and stem inclusion to manage both pH and tannins in American varieties of grapes. We talk about many different facets of sweet wine, including how it's made, what its purpose is, and why we shouldn't be prejudiced against is. She crushes my ill-informed dream of holding a Judgement of Paris for hybrids. And she shows so many reasons, both explicitly and implicitly, why American grapes are the future… and really are already the present. I'm sure you'll quickly be as impressed as I was with Erin's brilliance and great sense of humor… There are as many laughs as perspective shifting ideas throughout this fun interview. Enjoy! https://americanwineproject.com/ Sponsor: https://www.centralaswine.com/

Wines reviewed in this episode: Treveri Cellars Blanc de Blanc Brut, Gruet Brut, and Piper Sonoma Brut.
A unique combination of education and experience brought Rachel Martin to launch Oceano Wines with husband and co-proprietor, Kurt Deutsch in 2016. A Virginia native, Martin was present at the inception of what is now considered one of that state's premier wine producers, Boxwood Estate Winery, in 2005. As Executive Vice President of Winery Operations, Martin's job was to oversee all facets of production, sales and marketing of Boxwood's award-winning whites, rosés and Bordeaux-style red blends. After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston/Tufts University), Martin decided to make her love of wine a full-time vocation. She parlayed a degree in Viticulture and Enology from Napa Valley College into a spot in the prestigious Sensory Evaluation program at the University of Bordeaux School of Enology. And from there, Martin ushered in the very first wines at Boxwood, located in Middleburg, a bucolic area previously better known for horses than vines. Appreciating the distinctiveness of Middleburg's terroir, Martin spearheaded the move toward securing a coveted American Viticultural Area designation from the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, the federal agency charged with evaluating the merits of all such applications. The petition she authored on behalf of the region was approved in 2012, making Middleburg Virginia the state's seventh AVA. Martin's forward thinking led directly to Middleburg having its own wine identity separate from the more generic Virginia designation, making her well suited to again start from scratch with Oceano Wines. None other than the esteemed author Jancis Robinson noted Martin's marketing savvy in her book “American Wine.” Martin is a member of Les Dames d'Escoffier International New York and Washington, D.C chapters and was the first woman to be inducted into the District of Columbia chapter of the International Wine & Food Society. A founding board member, she is also closely involved with the beverage/culinary aspects of the annual Middleburg Film Festival. Hear her here.

Hey there friends, welcome back to a new episode of Festival Pass Stories podcast. As we finally start the process of putting the pandemic behind us, live events are beginning to come back in full force! This week's guest is thrilled about the future of his industry; oenophile and winemaker, Randy Hester. Randy didn't always want to be a wine maker. In fact, you could say the idea hit him like a bolt of lightning, (that pun will make sense later). As a native of the great state of Texas, Randy went to college at Lamar University, and wanted to dedicate his life to helping children. He worked in the restaurant industry while pursuing his degree; you probably know where this is going by now. Randy was working for a great company, and had a promotion opportunity on the horizon after receiving his Bachelor's with a minor in Philosophy. But there was something that drew him to the service industry, and simply put, it was the wine. From that point on, Randy decided to follow his gut, created a 10 year plan, and took a leap of faith that lead him to Napa, California. His courage should be applauded because starting over in your 30's isn't something you hear often. Nevertheless, he enrolled in Napa Valley College and got his Associate's in Viticulture and Enology (the cultivation of grapes and the study of wines, respectively). For those who don't know, Napa Valley is a big deal when it comes to American Wine culture. It was the perfect place for Randy to gain exposure in order to execute the final step of his master plan; taking his knowledge back home to Texas. Now, Texas is known for a lot of things like BBQ, but wine isn't one that comes to mind; until the return of Randy Hester of course. After learning from some of the best winemakers in California, Randy's success in Napa gave him the confidence to start making his own product, and that was Lightning Wines. Since 2014, Lightning Wines has helped spearheaded the Texas wine movement, and produced award-winning, Internationally recognized wines for the public. Now that COVID-19 is loosening its hold on our society, Randy has been planning events and tastings for the rest of 2021. Sign up to the Lightning Wines mailing list, and subscribe to their wine club to get bottles shipped directly to you. We love Randy's attitude towards the creation of wine, and how it should be consumed. His philosophy is that everyone should be able to enjoy it without feeling intimidated by it. He did invent lighting in a bottle, so we'll take his word on it. “I'm tasting all these great wines of the world and meeting all these people who are coming to our market…and it occurred to me, that I wanted to create that thing that we're putting on that table, that's enhancing people's lives.” - Randy Hester Catch the interview on Festival Pass Stories! https://festivalpass.com/stories You can find Randy on: Linkedin- https://www.linkedin.com/in/randy-hester-7269928/ C.L.

Used to celebrate the drafting of the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, Madeira wines are the ultimate in American wines, though not made in America. Originating from shipping goods from Europe to America and being born from wines traveling that route, it became the most prominent wine in the US pre-prohibition. History, culture, and the wines' versatility benefited their relaunch in the 1990s by Bartholomew Broadbent, Owner of Broadbent Selections, which imports an array of wines from emerging regions and has its own line of Madeiras, Ports, and other wines. Learn more about the history and the journey of reintroducing a long-lost style of wine back to America in this episode of XChateau. This episode is sponsored by Repour, the simple, effective way to preserve your wine...without planning ahead. Extensively used by top sommeliers, wineries, and wine students, Repour prevents wasted wine and saves money. Please find out more at repour.com and listen to Episode 24, where CEO Tom Lutz gives us all the details on Repour. Detailed Show Notes: Bartholomew’s background in wineSon of Michael Broadbent (led wine auctions for Christie’s, Decanter Magazine writer for decades, & leading wine author)Went to Australia at 18 to work harvest, Cognac as a tour guide, worked in wine at Harrod’s in London and at Harvey’s Fine WinesHe moved to Toronto and met the Symington Family, where he spent 10 years teaching about Port & Madeira, based out of San FranciscoHe married a Virginia girl and now lives in VirginiaBroadbent SelectionsFounded in 1996The goal was to create their own brand of Port & MadeiraStarted an import company as well, which focused on emerging wine regions, including: Portugal (now just the Broadbent brands)South Africa (e.g., Eben Sadie)New Zealand (e.g., Spy Valley)Chateau Musar from LebanonGusbourne from EnglandBroadbent wines include Madeira, Port, Vinho Verde (single biggest selling wine), Douro, and Gruner Veltliner from AustriaMadeiraIt was the biggest selling wine in the US until ProhibitionInvented through shipping to America from Europe, ships stopped in Madeira (600 miles off the coast of Africa / Morocco) to re-stock; when wines accidentally made it back to Madeira and went through two journeys by sea, the wines tasted better through the heatingNow the wine style is a cooked and fortified wineLots of history around Madeira - the wine used to celebrate the Constitution and Declaration of Independence, was on the table w/ Betsy Ross sewed the American flagBenefited from a tax loophole, when the King taxed all European goods going to America, it did not cover MadeiraDestruction of the Madeira marketPhylloxera - destroyed lots of vinesProhibition - Prior, 95% of the wine was sent to the US, 5% to the UK and RussiaUpon appeal of Prohibition, shipping had improved and no longer needed to stop in Madeira for suppliesRe-launch of Madeira in the US - Bartholomew relaunched in 1989 with the SymingtonsProduction8 producers of Madeira on the island, who buy grapes from ~1,000 growersVines mostly grown on trellises with other crops underneath (there aren’t a lot of vineyards to see and visit)Two types of heating methodsEstufa - artificial heating in tanks, 3 months at 115F, mostly for the 3-5-year-old styles of winesCanteiro / Traditional - left in attics of buildings to heat; Broadbent ages in 3 locations - attic, ground floor, and basement to blend and get more complexity8 producers make lots of different brands, Broadbent made by Justino’sIsland producers ~100,000 cases/year of drinking Madeira (vs. cooking Madeira), Justino’s ~55%, Henriques & Henriques ~20%Grape varieties3 red grapes (~80%) - Tinta Negra7 white grapes - incl Sercial (grown in hills, ripens less and more acidic), Verdelho, Boal, MalmseyBoth name of grapes and style of winesDrier Madeiras partly made by adding brandy later in fermentationRainwater - needs to be a lighter styleVintage or Frasqueira Madeira - needs to be aged for 20 years before release, at least 19 years in cask and 1 year in bottle, but bottles the word “Vintage” does not appear on the label as that is trademarked by PortColheita - min 5 years of ageSelling Madeira in the US~25k cases/year in the US, #2 or 3 market globallyEngland and Japan drink a lot of Madeira, Canada also a big marketThe slowdown of sales for Port in the late 1990’s - believes due to the rise of high alcohol wines and not leaving enough capacity for fortified wine at the end of dinnerMadeira appeals to the intellect, stories tied to US history, the beauty of island and tourism, and versatility of the wine due to acidity (pairs with anything)No specific demographics for MadeiraOlder, rarer wines sold mostly at restaurantsMannie Berk of Rare Wine Company also started a Madeira brand and has done a good job of educating consumersSherry market has improved due to mixology and cocktail culture, Spanish restaurants (e.g., tapas) have also helped support itPricing of rare Madeiras has increased a lot, especially in the auction markets, as sales have depleted the stock on the islandBroadbent vs. other MadeirasMore elegance, considered one of the top brands made by Justino’sNamed in Wine & Spirits Top 100 wineries of the worldGreat sales team, including 2 Master Sommeliers, who help to sell into restaurants and retail

2020 has been unlike any other, so we are recommending some different things for this year’s annual Thanksgiving show. This year has been tough for everyone, but small, family-owned wineries have been hit pretty hard by fires, lack of tourism, and in some cases, rough harvest conditions. Thanksgiving is the quintessential American holiday, so for this year, especially, we’re recommending that we show support for great American, family-owned wineries and their wines that pair perfectly with any kind of Thanksgiving food you decide to eat. We start out with a few important announcements: The Wine Resources section of the WFNP site is now live. Check it out! This year I’m running the holiday book offer again! Details here: Here are the show notes: Regardless of where you are or who you are with, our #1 Thanksgiving tip this year (in this kind of sucky and restrictive year without our loved ones in many cases): Drink something really fantastic – haul out the wine that you’ve been saving and have it now. Celebrate that you are here, that you are ok, that you will make it through this tough time. We then spend the show traveling the country from west to east, recommending wines from all the top quality regions: California Santa Barbara: The Pinot is perfect for the meal and really goes with anything. Lumen, Holus Bolus, Ampelos, Dragonette, and Marimar are a few I like Paso Robles: We’re a broken record on this one – Rhône style red and white blends from Tablas Creek, Italian varietals from Giornata, and for red meat fuller “meaty-style” veggies: Hearst Ranch and Halter Ranchfor hefty red blends. Sonoma: The Underground Wine Events Winery list will suffice but we specifically mention excellent rosé of Pinot Noir from Bruliam, tasty sparkling from Keller Estate and Longboard, and, as I mentioned in my piece with the Splendid Table on NPR – ACORN Winery’s Cabernet Franc. Napa: Bearing the brunt of the wildfires this year, we recommend supporting producers who have been affected if you can. Here is a list, but we mention Smith-Madrone (their Riesling is perfect for TG), Cain Winery, Chateau Boswell, and Fairwinds Estate – all whose properties were completely destroyed in the fires. Sierra Foothills: Andis is always my pick and the Semillon is perfect with the herbs of the Thanksgiving feast. The Zin is powerful but nuanced and would be great if you are grilling Oregon Also affect by fires this year and chockful of family owned producers (but make sure you check the big, hulking winery list in the Wine Resources part of the site to avoid buying from a conglomerate), Oregon makes great Pinot Noir, unoaked Chardonnay, and Gamay – all great with every part of a traditional, savory Thanksgiving meal. Some favorites: Bergström, Torii Mor, Cristom, Lingua Franca Washington With more body, power, and alcohol, the wines of Washington are fantastic for grilled foods, beef stews, meatloaf, and hearty food you may decide to have in lieu of traditional TG food. Walla Walla, Yakima, and the larger Columbia Valley AVAs are great. I mention Pepper Bridge, Amavi, Sleight of Hand, Saviah, Hightower, and Delille Texas Hands down, the winning wine in Texas right now is Tempranillo. A bolder, higher alcohol version than the original Spanish wine, these wines will be great with Spanish cheeses (Manchego) and the same foods we mention for Washington wines. Spicewood, Perdenales are mentioned. We mention Michigan for its Riesling, New Mexico for its large sparkling brand, Gruet, and Colorado for some of its emerging wineries as well Finger Lakes, New York Riesling, Riesling and more Riesling is my recommendation. Dry, off-dry, sweet, dessert – all work with herbs, spices, butter and fat. Riesling is an MVP – it can also handle curry, Chinese food, Indian spices, and any food with heat. And Finger Lakes, with the traditional peachy, white flower, mineral bouquet, its stupendous acidity and lower alcohol make it a complete must-have. Anthony Road Wine Company’s Late Harvest Vignoles is the dessert wine of the century – a native/hybrid grape made in a sweet style, also noted in the Splendid Table segment. Long Island, New York From my native land, M.C. Ice and I wax poetic on sparkling wine from Lieb and Sparkling Pointe, and then mention great medium bodied Cabernet Franc and Merlot from these gorgeous island wineries. With these kinds of profiles and more moderate alcohol (make sure to check that’s the case before you buy), you will have reds that can weave their way in and out of hard-to-pair dishes – from green beans to creamed spinach to fried turkey. And the sparkling may be an even better match for all that – but you be the judge. Virginia It has been a terrible year for the wineries of Virginia. Terrible frost settled at the beginning of the growing season, killing off the vines before they had a chance to form. The tiny harvests were fine but there won’t be much wine to sell from 2020, an unfortunate occurrence in the time of Covid. We mention the fabulous Albariño from Afton Mountain (I mentioned their sparkling, Bollicine, in the Splendid Table segment) and unoaked Chardonnay from Pollak, which are our seafood picks, as well as the versatile whites and reds of Linden and Glen Manor. We highly recommend dessert wine from VA – it’s a perfect end to the meal! We are so grateful for you and we hope you open something fantabulous to celebrate that you are making it through this year, no matter how hard it has been! Elizabeth and M.C.

Nadine Brown’s story is in many ways a classic American tale. Nadine is an immigrant. She came to the US to study and work, and when plans didn’t work out, she found herself applying for a job as a restaurant host in Washington DC. She had no previous restaurant experience and had every intention for it to be a temporary position. However, she fell in love with the hospitality industry. In restaurants she discovered her love of the energy and adrenaline of working the floor, and she discovered wine. It fascinated her and sparked her curiosity. Born in Jamaica, she grew up with coffee and rum and no exposure to wine, but once she found it she couldn’t let it go.Through hard work, smarts, and determination – that good old American cliché - she learned, and trained, and worked her way up to become an award winning sommelier and wine director for Charlie Palmer Steakhouse – one of the premier restaurants for DC’s political and social elite. At Charlie Palmer she built a renowned cellar focused on American wines and served wine to people at the highest levels of politics, even a future president, all while meeting her husband in the kitchen and becoming the mother of two children. Now she is a proud board member of the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan D.C. and the extremely well-named nonprofit the Veraison Project, which is dedicated to bringing more color to the wine industry through greater access to wine education, wine certifications, mentoring, and networking for people of color. She continues to be a mentor to many young professionals in the business, and she strives to encourage more women to join and stay in the industry.@nadinewinebrownhttps://www.theveraisonproject.com/ Sponsor:https://centralaswine.com/

LATER IN THE SHOW: More than six months into the pandemic, the U.S. is still in a coronavirus-induced recession. But one industry, the alcoholic beverage market, has been toasting its recent record-breaking sales. Numbers show that people are cracking open lighter, more affordable beers during this time — those easily bought in cases. Light beers are brewed in the world's most popular beer style, pilsner, called the 'beer of kings'. But why is this pale lager the best-selling alcoholic beverage of all time? And is there another beer or alcoholic beverage which can usurp pilsner's throne? Guest: Tom Acitelli, author of "The Audacity of Hops," "American Wine," "Whiskey Business," and most recently, "Pilsner: How the Beer of Kings Changed the World."

A Virginia native, Martin was present at the inception of what is now considered one of that state’s premier wine producers, Boxwood Estate Winery, in 2005. As Executive Vice President of Winery Operations, Martin’s job was to oversee all facets of production, sales and marketing of Boxwood’s award-winning whites, rosés and Bordeaux-style red blends. Martin’s forward thinking led directly to Middleburg having its own wine identity separate from the more generic Virginia designation, making her well suited to again start from scratch with Oceano Wines. Jancis Robinson noted Martin’s marketing savvy in her book “American Wine.” Marbue Marke earned his enology degree from Davis and, subsequently, added to his academic resume with an MBA from Sonoma State University. His practical experience began at J Winery in Sonoma, followed by a series of moves, each adding another piece to the puzzle that is winemaking. At Cosentino Winery, he learned about the rarefied world of high-end Napa wines. He was then a barrel enologist at R.H. Philips. For two years, Marke was charged with cooperage studies, an offshoot field that many winemakers are not experienced in. During a stint at Benziger, he was immersed in that family’s heightened concern for soil and winemaking purity. From there, Marke made a seemingly counterintuitive jump to Gallo. He reasoned that it’s always a good idea to revisit the basics of one’s craft, and given Gallo’s depth and breadth of resources, it was the perfect place for him to hone all of the skills associated with the production process. But perhaps the most pivotal move he made, at least in terms of his future connection to Oceano, was his decision to sign on as John Caldwell’s winemaker. That Marke began working with Caldwell turned out to be prophetic for Rachel . She met Marke by way of her very own connection to Caldwell. She sourced the plant material for Boxwood Estate Winery’s first vineyard block from him. Marke has since taken over as the Director of Winegrowing at Italics Winegrowers in Coombsville, one of Napa Valley’s cooler climes and another serendipitous similarity with Spanish Springs Vineyard.

Welcome to episode 41 of the Make America Grape Again podcast, featuring the Buckeye State, Ohio. Featuring one of the more unique flags of a US State, Ohio has a long and lauded history with the American Wine industry. It is fitting, therefore, that the bottle we have chosen for our first Ohio episode: the En Plein Aire pét-nat from Vermilion Valley Vineyards, is somewhat of an homage to that storied history. This sparkling wine, made as a méthode ancestrale, is a field blend of roughly 75% Pinot Noir, and 25% Muscat Ottonel, with minuscule percentages of Lemberger and Müller-Thurgau, sourced from their vineyards in the Lake Erie AVA. For those who are new to the natural wine game, this method, known also as pétillant-naturel, allows the initial fermentation to finish inside the bottle without any additives, imparting a gentle carbonation by trapping carbon dioxide; there is no addition of new yeast for a secondary fermentation, nor disgorgement (unlike with Champagne and other sparkling wines of that ilk). So, why a Sparkling wine to start Ohio off? To answer this question, we must go to the Ohio River Valley around 1825, and visit one Nicholas Longworth. He planted, in the end, over 2,000 acres of Catawba grapes, and ended up producing sparkling wine that won not only national acclaim, but actually beat out titans from Champagne in at least one competition in Europe! The resulting victory lead to a famous poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, entitled "Ode to Catawba Wine." (I'm thinking this poem may be the subject of a dramatic reading in Season 2.) However, by the late 1850's, black rot and powdery mildew had destroyed much of these vineyards, and the viticultural center of Ohio had moved to the region surrounding Lake Erie, where at the time, 33,000 acres of grapes and 161 wineries flourished. Alas, like in other states, the grim specter of Prohibition ended this idyll, and to survive, most vineyards were converted to the growing of Concord for juice production--some vineyards dating to this period, such as Meier's Wine Cellars survive today in this mode. By 1963, only 27 wineries survived, with only half making wine from Ohio-grown grapes. The state was ripe for a renaissance. Oddly, compared to other states we've explored in the course of our podcast, Ohio never needed farm winery legislation to aid that renaissance. Instead, two major organizations devoted to viticulture jump-started this transition. The first was the Ohio Wine Producers Organization; the second was the Ohio Grape Industries Program. Both of these groups have catapulted Ohio wine to the impending super-stardom where the industry lurks at this time. Today, the state of Ohio has over 290 wineries, located within Five distinct American Viticultural Areas: the Lake Erie AVA, the Isle St. George AVA, the Ohio River Valley AVA, the Grand River Valley AVA, and lastly the Loramie Creek AVA. Producing over 3,582,902 gallons, Ohio is (as of 2016) actually ranked 6th in the US in terms of wine production, and 8th in terms of total acreage under vine. Wine Enthusiast actually recently wrote an article about why Ohio wine is something to look out for, as well, so winemakers in the state are making some noise. This bottle was kindly provided to the Make America Grape Again Podcast by the winemaker himself, Joe Juniper. I reached out to him after a kind couple in the tasting room I work for in Arizona mentioned that Vermilion Valley Vineyards was their favorite winery in the state. Thank you again, kind sir for your contribution, and for joining in on our podcast!
This week’s episode of “WisBusiness: The Podcast” is with Erin Rasmussen, founder of an early-stage business called the American Wine Project. She grew up in Madison but spent the last decade in California studying winemaking. Her new venture has several wines in development, and she says she wants to stimulate interest in the “farm-to-table” model of wine in Wisconsin. “How do I as a Midwest native bring thoughtful, artistic, high quality winemaking to a region that is really just beginning its wine industry lifespan?” she said. “It’s really only pretty recently that we’ve had the technology and the research done to be able to consistently grow grapes that survive our cold winters.” Rasmussen is a graduate of the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation’s Upstart program, which supports minority and women entrepreneurs. She and her business partner are currently looking for a space to set up their winery, which she says presents some different challenges here than in California. “The ways that that happens in California are not available to me here,” she said. “For example, what’s called ‘custom crush’ -- renting a space in someone else’s winery to be able to produce wine under your own name.” She’s not farming her own grapes herself, though she says she may explore that in the future. “It’s winemaking as I’ve done it for the last 10 years working for various high-end wineries in California,” she said. “I’m treating these grapes that grow in the Midwest like they’re $10,000-a-ton cabernet from Napa Valley, because I think that’s what it takes to make great wine.”
Les Vins de Provence sont à l'Honneur en cette rentrée. En compagnie de Lory Martinez, New Yorkaise à Paris et productrice de podcasts gastronomiques (À Poële, Dinner For One), nous dégustons en Blanc un "La Ferme Blanche", Appellation Cassis (prononcez Cassi !) et un "Clos Saint Vincent" Appellation Bellet, puis en Rosé un "Chateau Rimauresq" en Appellation Cotes de Provence. On parle d'histoire antique (le Vin = la Civilisation entre en Gaule par la Provence). Il est donc beaucoup question de Rosé: Comment le fait-on?, Est-ce vraiment du vin? Et aussi de la Culture du vin aux Etats-Unis, et même d'une romance hollywoodienne... Enregistré le 17/09/2018 à Ma Cave Fleury 177 rue Saint Denis à Paris.

About Erin:Erin Williams was born and raised in the village of Memphis, NE population 115. She spent the first three years of her education in a two-room schoolhouse and realizes that that makes her sound way older than she is. After college at Drake University, Erin found herself in the sunny city of Los Angeles, where she pursued acting initially and then found herself drawn to the siren call of the wine industry. She's now been selling wine for ten years working as a distributor and winery sales manager for J. Lohr Winery and completed her Wine and Spirit Education Trust Diploma of Wine in 2014. Erin currently resides in Denver, Colorado where she reps a full book ranging from $6 South American wine to $1,000 dollar bottles of Burgundy. She recently got her first dog and feels like it is as good as everyone said it would be.Website: rndc-usa.com

She’s been called “the most respected wine critic and journalist in the world” by Decanter magazine. Jancis Robinson recently honored the UC Davis Shields library by donating her personal writings, papers, photographs, and even tasting notes. Her long list of credits include co-authoring The World Atlas of Wine with Hugh Johnson, editing The Oxford Companion to Wine, and co-authoring American Wine with Linda Murphy. She is founder of the award-winning JancisRobinson.com. Naturally, I jumped at the chance when offered the opportunity to interview Jancis at the Shields Library prior to the event celebrating her donation. As you’ll hear she was quite gracious.

When I embarked on my 16-month wine journey around the world, the first leg was up the west coast of the United States. While in the Willamette Valley region of Oregon, I was lucky enough to visit many of the most important and oldest wineries, including all of the wineries of my three guests on this episode of The Vincast. My first guest is winemaker at Stoller Family Estate, Melissa Burr, who is the only Oregon-native on the episode! The second winemaker guest is Dave Paige from Adelsheim Vineyard (one of the founding wineries of the region), who has been there for fifteen years! The final guest was Harry Peterson-Nedry, who established his Chehalem estate in the hills from which the winery takes its name in 1990, and has been one of the regions best ambassadors.

If you've ever wondered what my biggest influence was for this podcast, it was listening to The Crush podcast, hosted by Christina Pickard and Whitney Adams. The podcast was a very relaxed fun look at wine and incorporated guests and very entertaining segments. They started the podcast when Christina was in London, and Whitney was in Los Angeles, but after Christina relocated to her husband's home town of Perth, it became more difficult to record the show. She continues to write and present, but she has also more recently started The School of Wine to educate Perth wine lovers in a fun environment.
On June 30, 2011, Todd Kliman delivered the banner lecture "The Wild Vine: A Forgotten Grape and the Untold Story of American Wine" Vineyards and wine making have become all-American success stories in recent years, especially in Virginia. In his book, The Wild Vine, author Todd Kliman engagingly traces the story of the native grape hybrid, and its nineteenth-century Virginia advocate, that led by a circuitous path to the rebirth of wine-making in the twentieth century. The story begins long before California supposedly put America on the viticulture map with Dr. Daniel Norton's experimentations with grapes in Richmond. The Norton hybrid migrated to the Midwest and then, after seemingly disappearing, returned to Virginia soil to great success in more recent times. Todd Kliman is food and wine editor of the Washingtonian. (Introduction by Paul A. Levengood and Jack Berninger) The content and opinions expressed in these presentations are solely those of the speaker and not necessarily of the Virginia Museum of History & Culture.
What’s goin on with American wine right now? Tune in to this week’s episode of In the Drink as Joe Campanale is joined by two forward thinking restauranteurs making waves in Brooklyn – Bill Reed of Brooklyn Star and Doug Crowell of Buttermilk Channel Restaurant. Both restaurants feature entirely American wine lists, which makes for some logistical challenges but an incredibly delicious beverage program. Learn about wines from places as overlooked as Idaho and Arizona and discover the unique terroir that comes from micro-climates across the country. From price points to tasting notes, this episode will teach everybody something new about American wines. This program was sponsored by Rolling Press. “America has made a big step beyond California. It’s growing so fast – New York is now the number 2 wine growing region in the states!” [05:03] “It doesn’t take long for these American wines to get from vine to glass – which is something really special.” [26:52] –Bill Reed of Brooklyn Star on In the Drink “People are really interested in trying new wines in Brooklyn – which makes our job easier”. [11:52] “You might expect a price advance from selling wines from this country […] but ironically wines from America can actually be more expensive.” [18:40] –Doug Crowell of Buttermilk Channel Restaurant on In the Drink
