This week on Seasoned, we're talking with people connected to our state's libraries who mix their work with a passion for food, drink and community. The downtown branch of the Hartford Public Library may be closed for renovations, but that hasn't stopped Andréa Hawkins and Doug Barber from opening up a coffee shop on the light-filled first floor of the library. They talk with us about how the shop fosters community. And, pairing wine with cheese and charcuterie is too obvious. What wine might pair with Virginia Woolf's Orlando? How about Madame Bovary or Anna Karenina? Shannon Barillari, of the Russell Library in Middletown, talks with us about how she pairs wine with books. Plus, how does Youth Services Librarian Kristen Slepecki get kids excited about the library's Teen Test Kitchen program? "I bribe them with food," she says. "Sugary treats are, for sure, the way to go." We talk with Kristen and Christine Michaud, the Durham Library's director, about the intrinsic value of the library's Cookbook Club, which is part book discussion, part pot luck. Also, some city and town libraries in our state have what's called a Library of Things. Home cooks, ask your librarian if you can borrow a Barbie cake pan, cookie cutters, an air fryer, rice cooker or pizza oven! Bridget Quinn, President and CEO and Head Librarian at the Hartford Public Library describes the awesomeness of the Library of Things. GUESTS: Andréa Hawkins and Doug Barber: Co-owners of Berkins on Main, the coffee shop on the first floor of the Hartford Public Library. They also own Berkins Blend Cafe in Glastonbury, Conn. Shannon Barillari: Head of Digital and Emerging Technologies, Russell Library, Middletown, Conn. Christine Michaud: Director of the Durham Public Library and the leader of the library's Cookbook Club. Kristen Slepecki: Youth Services and Teen Librarian at the Durham Public Library. She runs the Teen Test Kitchen program, where teenagers participate in fun taste tests and make edible experiments. Bridget Quinn: President and CEO, and Head Librarian, of the Hartford Public Library. Interested in the book and wine pairings Shannon Barallari suggests?

Le syndicat Rhône Ventoux mène actuellement un chantier visant à remplacer un tronçon fragilisé et fuyard de 300 mètres linéaires à Sorgues, au niveau du passage sous l'Ouvèze. Ce chantier sera finalisé le 27 février prochain, avec le raccordement du nouveau tronçon. Pour permettre cette opération, la production et distribution de l'eau depuis l'usine de la Jouve à Sorgues, doivent être coupées. Ainsi à partir de 8h et jusqu'à minuit le 27 février une coupure d'eau va se ressentir sur Carpentras et ses communes avoisinantes : Aubignan, Beaumes de Venise, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Loriol-du-Comtat, Monteux, Pernes-les-Fontaines et Sorgues. À nos micros Arnaud GOIFFON, Directeur de l'agence Vaucluse pour Suez France et Clément GAWINAK, Ingénieur eau et assainissement chez Rhône Ventoux nous en disent plus sur cette coupure et les dispositions à avoir pour anticiper et gérer le jour J.

Delphine recevait dans l'émission Envie d'Entreprendre madame GAUTHIER directrice la coopérative agricole "La Balméenne" à Beaumes de Venise.

Nick and Angela welcome a wine expert to Dish HQ. Helen McGinn is an award-winning author, drinks writer and TV wine presenter. Having cut her teeth as a supermarket wine buyer, she went on to found a blog, The Knackered Mother's Wine Club, which has since become a best-selling book. Helen is the much-loved wine expert on BBC1's Saturday Kitchen and writes a monthly wine column for Waitrose Food Magazine. In this episode, Nick and Angela skip the main course and head straight to the cheese. Helen brings a selection of wine and cheese to the dish table to inspire you this festive season and starts with a bottle of fizz from South Africa, Graham Beck Chardonnay Pinot Noir Brut NV, which our trio tastes with a pecorino and a Cornish Cheese Co. Cornish Brie (available in-store at the Waitrose cheese counter). Next up is a white wine from Bordeaux, Dourthe Roqueblanche Sauvignon Blanc, which Helen pairs with the Clara goat's cheese, also available at the in-store counter. To follow, a malbec rosé from Argentina goes perfectly with Highmoor, a washed rind cheese from Oxfordshire. Helen pours a red from South Africa, Reyneke Organic Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot, which Nick and Angela try with a Godminster organic vintage cheddar. And finally, Helen recommends a sweet wine, Carte Or Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise NV, which she pairs with the No.1 Colston Bassett Stilton. Having enjoyed their cheese and wine tasting, Nick and Angela tuck into some of your questions: stay tuned for their TV snack choices, their most memorable meal with their partners and what they most admire about each other. Just so you know, our podcast might contain the occasional mild swear word or adult theme.

Happy Thanksgiving/Harvest Meal 2022. For this episode, we're discussing wines that will give you great bang for your buck, pair perfectly with the meal, and impress your guests. Photo: Pumpkins & Pais! (c) Wine For Normal People These pairings are really for any traditional western meal – Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any sort of food that celebrates autumn flavors.    Here's the list for 2022... The Welcome Wine Sparkling options: Sekt from Germany (Riesling is best), South African Cap Classique, Lambrusco Sherry: Our favorite type of Sherry is Amontillado. It's great with nuts and generally well liked by people when they try it. Good producers: Hidalgo la Gitana, Valdespino, Lustau, Osbourne, and Bodegas Dios Baco are some great producers. Dry white wines Wines that complement a buttery, savory meal: Grillo from Sicily Pinot Blanc from Alsace Soave from Italy A blend from Lisboa (around Lisbon, Portugal) Verdejo from Spain OR More acidic whites -- better with acidic food with a lot of citrus/acidity or for contrast: Vernaccia di San Gimignano (Tuscany) Australian Riesling from the Clare and Eden Valleys Finger Lakes Riesling Off Dry Whites for dishes with fruit or with sweetness (yams, corn): Mosel Riesling from Germany Off-dry Finger Lakes Riesling Vouvray from the Loire Valley, France   Light Reds and rosé (good with turkey, ham, pork): Frappato from Sicily País from Chile (similar to Beaujolais) Zweigelt from Austria Rosé: Tavel from Rhône, Côte de Provence, or something from your local winery Heavier reds (for non-turkey meals): Bordeaux – general Bordeaux or Bordeaux Superieur for MVP, Right Bank (St. Emilion, Fronsac) and Côtes de Bordeaux for meats or heavier vegetables with more delicate, herbal flavors, Médoc for more robust meats with more charred notes Primitivo for robust meats Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon or Carménere for heavily flavored, braised, charred meat   Dessert: Ruby Port for chocolate desserts Muscat-based wines – Muscat de Beaumes de Venise, Muscat de Rivesaltes for fruit or custard desserts Bring back the off-dry Sekt or Lambrusco from the beginning of the meal to enjoy at the end of the meal. Lambrusco is good with berry or cherry desserts, Sekt with apple and custards   Tips: Don't buy too much wine. If you have a limited number of drinkers, limit the choices for the meal. If you plan to serve dessert wine, don't go overboard with options at the beginning of the meal or you'll have no takers. If your meal has a theme – it's very savory or is very vegetable focused, stick to the wine that will best suit those dishes and don't offer too many choices   Check out the Wine For Normal People book for more tips on pairing!    Have a safe, happy, healthy holiday. We are so grateful to you for listening and for your continued support!!   _______________________________________________________________ Thanks to our sponsors this week: Wine Spies uncovers incredible wines at unreal prices - on every type of wine in a variety of price points.

À l'occasion de la 39e édition des journées européennes du patrimoine qui auront lieu ce weekend 16, 17 et 18 septembre, nous avons assisté au Castellas de Durban à Beaumes de Venise à la présentation des 56 rendez-vous proposés dans les communes de la Cove. Au micro lors de cette conférence : Dominique PLANCHER vice présidente déléguée au Tourisme à la Culture et au Patrimoine à la Cove, Michel GRILLET président de l'association les "Courens partager le patrimoine" et Stéphanie COLLET responsable du service culture et patrimoine à la Cove.

Elizabeth (Liz) Gabay, Master of Wine, is the world's foremost expert on rosé and a big part of her career has been studying, writing about, and understanding rosé. Ben Bernheim, her son, is now learning from her wisdom and and is a specialist in his own right. The two of them have just completed the excellent book “Rosés of Southern France” (which is now available on Amazon for purchase. Liz is largely responsible for shifting the tide on rosé and helping people to understand that this wine is its own serious category that deserves thought, study, and consideration. In addition to the new book, Liz is the author of “Rosé: Understanding the Pink Wine Revolution,” and she is also a contributor on rosé in Decanter, The Drinks Business, The Buyer, SevenFiftyDaily, Meiningers, and many more prestigious publications. Photo: https://www.elizabethgabay.com/about/   The wisdom these Liz and Ben have on the subject of rosé is vast, and they are so fun, engaging, and real, that they make it all so interesting and accessible. This is an incredible education on rosé and will enjoy every minute of listening to these fantastic humans. Photo: Ben Bernheim, taken by me when we were partners in a Beaumes de Venise mini-class in the Rhone Valley 4/22 Here are the things we discuss in the show: Liz talks about her background and how she got into wine. She discusses how, when she took the MW, it was a professional certification, and how it has changed dramatically over time. She discusses how she got into rosé, and how Ben got involved in it as well. Then we get into the nuts and bolts of rosé Liz and Ben define rosé (harder than you think!). We discuss he book's intro and what rosé is really about: “We love rosé. We love its diversity, its complexity, and the infinite combinations of terroir, grape variety, vintage variation and winemaking that we find around the world. Many people think we're crazy. They see rosé as a pale pink lightly alcoholic swimming pool tipple that somehow tastes better if you're wearing a bikini. That isn't what this book is about. “ Photo credit: Canva Liz and Ben tell us about rosé winegrowing: Grapes that are commonly used(red AND white!) The role of terroir in rosé The picking decisions and harvest parameters that matter in making rosé Climate change and how it is affecting grapes for rosé We talk next about rosé winemaking We discuss the various ways to make rosé – direct press, limited maceration and saignée We talk about some of the key factors in rosé winemaking: Time on the skin Yeast strains Co-fermenting with whites Fermentation vessel (oak v. stainless) Temperature control in fermentation Malolactic fermentation vs. no MLF Aging/storage vessel and time – oak, cement, glass, amphora, etc Photo credit: Canva  Liz and Ben tell us why rosé, can be ageworthy and why most isn't. We also talk about lightstrike and why clear bottles are the worst thing for rosé.   We cover the wines of the southern Rhône -- Tavel, Luberon, Ventoux, the rosés of Provence and Bandol and the wines of the Languedoc-Roussillon. We have an interesting conversation about Costieres di Nimes, which really drives home how certain regions can be outstanding but if they don't send in samples to writers, or market their wines, they remain unknown.   Liz and Ben help us understand how to buy better rosé. They provide some shortcuts for finding better wines – like looking for sub regions in Cotes de Provence such as Ste. Victoire and La Londe. We talk about how using Google maps to see where the winery is located can help you get better wines (e.g., If it's in a cool mountain area, it may be crisp, if it's nearer the ocean the wine may be fatter). They discuss how essential it is to find out about the producer, since often producers want you to see the name “Provence” and buy the bottle…if you poke around a bit you may get a better idea about what you are getting so it's not a surprise or disappointment   Liz and Ben tell us about the trends in rosé – why it has become so popular, and what are great regions we should keep an eye on. Liz's recommendations for countries/regions that have been making intresteing rosé (besides France!): Austria, Greece, Sicily (Etna especially), Spain (Clarete from Sigales, Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Navarra), Portugal (Douro, pink Port), Israel.   We end with a conversation on the future of rosé and what Ben and Liz hope for the category.   This is a fantastic conversation about a category of wine that is experiencing a big paradigm shift. Liz and Ben are some of the most normal, kindest, smartest people I've met in wine in a long, long while and the show is sprinkled with a ton of industry information – insider things that can help shed light on what goes on with producers, negociants, and writers.  I hope you enjoy and you are motivated to buy their wonderful book!

Nous avons vécu un moment exceptionnel à Beaumes-De-Venise!  Point de studio pour cet épisode mais une table dressée au milieu des vignes, à l'ombre du Mont Ventoux et des Dentelles de Montmirail, des accords mets-vins parfaitement choisis pour mettre en avant 3 belles cuvées exprimant la richesse de ce terroir unique. On commence avec Thomas et Sophie Jullien du domaine La Ferme St Martin, dont la cuvée Les Terres Jaunes a mis en joie toute la tablée par sa fraicheur et son équilibre. Au domaine, en plus de la vue sublime, des expériences oenotouristiques innovantes, comme la dégustation sous hypnose! On enchaine avec Claude Chabran, le patron de Rhonéa, regroupement des caves coopératives de Beaumes, Vacqueyras, Rasteau et Visan. Le fer de lance de l'agro-industrie à Beaumes de Venise? Non, la mise à jour du modèle de coopérative pour adresser les problématiques d'aujourd'hui, tant en amont sur la conduite de la vigne et la qualité des vins qu'en aval sur leur distribution et leur promotion. La cuvée Daronton fait partie des vins que nous avions retenu à l'aveugle et témoigne, dans un autre style, de vins accesibles et directs, digestes et authentiques. Nous le dégustons en écoutant le parcours de Claude, fils de vigneron, centralien parti conquérir le monde, et revenu au pays pour s'investir pour valoriser le terroir. Comment finir autrement que par un verre de muscat? Vin doux déjà connu dans l'antiquité et servi au couronnement d'Elisabeth II. Celui à notre table est signé Xavier Vignon, autre vigneron emblématique de l'appellation. Un vin subtil, aromatique sans sucrosité excessive et s'accorde parfaitement au foie gras à la fève de tonka concocté par l'Auberge St Roch, une des belles adresses gastronomiques de Beaumes de Venise! Hosts: Romain @radiophill, Patrice Defay @patricedefay1, Laurent Delsaux @therapywine Générique: Easy Living (Billie Holiday, Teddy Wilson)   Retrouvez-vous sur Instagram, Facebook, Twitter Merci à Inter-Rhone et l'ODG de Beaumes de Venise, partenaires de cet épisode Si vous avez aimé l'épisode, vous pouvez laisser une note, un commentaire sur Apple Podcast, et sur Spotify ça fait toujours plaisir!

Bonjour Un léger mistral caresse nos joues, sur le ciel d'un bleu immaculé se découpent des falaises de calcaire, ce sont les fameuses dentelles de montmirail qui nous observent du haut de leurs 200 millions d‘années d'histoire, enfin à quelques jours près. Sur la falaise, des grottes dont l'antique nom de “balmes” donne son nom à la commune. Sous nos pieds, une terre jaune, à qq centaines de mètres elle est plutot rouge. Elle peut aussi être un peu grise, on appelle cela un terroir exceptionnel. Autour de nous des vignes, à perte de vue, mais pas seulement des vignes. le paysage est rythmé de bosquets de chênes verts, qq pins, des cyprès, des oliviers, des figuiers, la garrigue nous entoure. Elles sont encore un peu timides car leur saison commence à peine mais les cigales sont bien là en fonds sonore, dans qq semaines leur chant sera assourdissant. Il est midi, le soleil cogne déjà fort mais par bonheur nous sommes à l'ombre. Sur la table, des câbles, des micros, des bouteilles et des verres, qq assiettes à grignoter pour sublimer les vins que nous nous apprêtons à boire. Autour de la table mes fidèles camarades Laurent et Patrice comme au premier jour de ce podcast. Un de ces moments qui se gravent instantanément dans votre esprit et dont vous savez qu'il ne s'effacera pas. Être en pleine nature, boire de beaux vins, en parler avec des passionnés, tenter avec cette matière de rendre hommage à leur travail en faisant une belle émission de radio. Chers amis, quel bonheur d'être ici et maintenant! Ce 92ème épisode s'intitule: Beaumes-de-Venise : Le Terroir Aux Deux Visages Bienvenue dans La Terre à Boire!

This podcast was recorded after my trip to the Découvertes en Vallée du Rhône, a wine trade fair that I was invited to by Inter-Rhône. It was a wonderful learning experience and I stayed on for a few days afterwards to explore Hermitage, Côte Rôtie, Condrieu, St. Joseph, Crozes-Hermitage, and in the south, Beaumes de Venise with Claude Chabran of Rhonéa, Gigondas with Elisa Cheron from Familie Cheron of Domaine du Grand Montmirail, and a self-guided tour of vineyards in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It was a fantastic trip and I am grateful to the people at Inter-Rhone for the opportunity. Photo: Découvertes en Vallée du Rhône at Palais des Papes in Avignon, Elizabeth Schneider, Wine For Normal People   If you are curious about some of the people I mention as partners in crime in the show: Matt Walls, Rhône expert, Decanter's Rhône contributor, author of Wines of the Rhône Adam Lechmere, editor of Club Oenologique and prominent wine writer Elizabeth “Liz” Gabay, MW – Rosé goddess (and the world's foremost rosé expert) Jamie Goode of Wine Anorak and author or several books Also, not mentioned by name (with apologies, but MC Ice had me thinking of Brits – these guys are fantastic), Kurtis Kolt, a great writer and consultant from Vancouver, Canada and Gurvinder Bhatia, Editor-in-Chief of Quench magazine Photo: The Rhône in Bloom! by Elizabeth Schneider, Wine For Normal People   Côtes du Rhône percentages are PLANTINGS, not blend percentages in Côtes du Rhône wines. So if the requirement is 40% Grenache for a Côtes du Rhône, that is how much Grenache must be plantedin a vineyard for Côtes du Rhône, not how much has to be in the blend. Case in point: I had a 99% Syrah that was a Village wine.   The producer is a big part of whether you like a wine or not, but you should still learn region before you learn producer. Producer can make or break your experience. It's hard to learn but once you understand what the region has to offer, the next step is finding the producers you like. Great producers: Familie Cheron of Domaine du Grand Montmirail, Gigondas   About white grapes in rosé wine…it's a-ok! I mentioned Elizabeth “Liz” Gabay, MW – goddess of pink wine and her son Ben. Look them up. White wines are allowed to be used in rosé as long as those grapes are fermented with the juice from red grapes. Whites Clairette, Picpoul, and Bouboulenc are used to lighten up one of my absolute favorite rosés, the Rhône cru, Tavel.   Roussanne grows really well in the southern Rhône and there is more of it than ever before. The is distinctive when you taste it in a blend and there are more whites from Côtes du Rhône and the Villages planting and growing this awesome grape to make it a bigger part of blends. Check out the pod we did on this wonderful grape.   Clairette is another a grape that no one talks about it but is awesome – acidic, refreshing, can be like Sauvignon Blanc, lighter style Rieslings, zippy, and green fruit notes. It is used in large proportions in Côtes du Rhône blanc from the south.   Cairanne, the cru of the southern Rhône, is light on its feet and a completely different wine than the rest of the cru. Because of the larger proportion of Cinsault, the lighter soils, the Mistral wind, and the terroir, the wines have a lighter touch than many of the other southern Rhône cru. Cairanne makes pretty and elegant wine still with great fruit.   An important point from the trip: Please STOP SENDING ME COMMENTS ABOUT MY FRENCH.Even when I tried to say names of regions and wines, I was not understood by folks in the Rhône or other parts of the south. It often took Google translate to communicate. If I tried to pronounce things in French it would have a terrible effect – neither French speakers nor English speakers would understand me and it would be futile. WFNP is an English language podcast and I need to pronounce things so that English language speakers (most of whom speak no French) understand what wines and regions I am saying so they can seek these wines out. After this trip, I will no longer be answering these comments and if you find that offensive, you can feel free to turn off the show. I'm sorry to see you go, but I'm no longer going to be apologetic for anglicizing French. Photo: Dentelles du Montmirail in Gigondas, by Elizabeth Schneider, Wine For Normal People   Gigondas is NOT a baby Châteauneuf-du-Pape, in my opinion. Some is very tannic and harsh, some is just beautiful but it is all about skill and terroir. The best producers aren't trying to mimic Châteauneuf-du-Pape. They are their own expression of mainly Grenache in a hot, mistral effected areas of the Dentelles du Montmirail. Moulin de la Gardette and Domaine de Longue Toque are exquisite examples of terroir-driven Gigondas wines that are not trying to emulate Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Photo: Condrieu, by Elizabeth Schneider, Wine For Normal People Condrieu has a lot more to it than you may think. First, it has two different parts, In the north where the wines are almost Sauvignon Blanc like – herbal, lime-like, lightly floral (jasmine) with higher acidity and a lighter body. In the south the wines are more like a traditional Viognier – peachy, sweet lemon, apricot notes with a fuller body but still with more acidity than New World Viognier Condrieu has some rows of vines that, because of the undulation of the hills, face north or northeast. These north facing rows are not considered Condrieu and are declassified into IGP Viognier, according to Aurelien Chirat from Vignoble Chirat. Finally, whole bunch fermentation can be used to add texture to wines but also to dilute or absorb alcohol. The stems have water in them that will dilute alcohol, they also can absorb some of the alcohol into their wood. Aurelien Chirat of Vignoble Chirat in Condrieu Most winemakers use outside labs as required by the AOC laws. There is use of technology as a check on the health of the wine, but analysis is not a decision making tool unless there is a problem. This is a very different philosophical bent than the New World. Photo, Côte Rôtie, by Elizabeth Schneider, Wine For Normal People  Two things on Côte Rôtie… Despite what I have heard and read in recent times, Côte Rôtie has have Viognier in it – I didn't find a producer who made a wine without at least a little. Most had 3-5% Viognier in their Syrah wine. The only wines that didn't have Syrah were special old vine plots or from designated vineyards, from which the winemakers wanted to showcase the Syrah for that particular wine. The plateau of Côte Rôtie has high quality, even though wine people malign it. I loved some of the wines from there – they are softer and easier to drink younger. Some of the wines smelled like manure and carnations – there are several theories as to why, which we discuss in the show.   Photo: Hermitage, by Elizabeth Schneider, Wine For Normal People  A few things on the very small appellation of Hermitage Books say producers are permitted to blend in Marsanne and Roussanne into the Syrah. That is true, but there isn't one producer who is doing that. The style is 100% Syrah and although that is for flavor, it's also because producers need white grapes for the white wine of Hermitage, which represents 30% of what is grown and made. If you haven't had a white Hermitage, that should be your next investment! This is rare wine and it's a bargain for how little there is in the world.   Crozes-Hermitage has two parts around the base of the hill of Hermitage each makes different wine styles. The northern side is on uniform granite. This is the old part of the appellation before it was expanded many times into southern flatter areas after World War II. Crozes Hermitage makes 50% of all the wine of the northern Rhone and the flat, southern part is less expensive than any other part of the Rhone, so younger producers have a chance to move in and get established. This is a good thing, even if it means the wine can be variable. Photo: St.Joseph, by Elizabeth Schneider, Wine For Normal People  St. Joseph is a tannic wine and it is not similar to Crozes-Hermitage, as many books will tell you.The appellation is varied, with many different types of granite (it really should be broken up into pieces). Although the wines from farther north are a little softer, I found them to be so harsh in tannin I could barely drink them. The verdict is out on if they will mellow with time, but to drink the young wine was nearly impossible for me. If you love harsh tannin, this is your wine.   Châteauneuf-du-Pape is bigger than the entire northern Rhone combined. It is VERY varied in terroir, farming, and quality, so caveat emptor!     There are a million other little tidbits woven into this show. If you want to explore Rhône beyond study guides and generalizations, this show will get you far in understanding how different reality is from what may be published in books.   I hope you enjoy our “myth-busters, Rhône edition”! ___________________________________________________ Thanks to our sponsors this week: Our sponsor: Wine Spies!

In educational partnership with Beaumes de Venise is a small, beautiful village located in the southern Rhône Valley. It has a great history of quality and recognition for both its red wines, which are classified under the Côtes de Rhône Beaumes de Venise Cru, and its famed Muscat de Beaumes de Venise Cru, a vin doux naturel wine which is known for its exquisite flavors, elegance, and unrivaled balance. In this episode, we explore this historic region that has been making wine for more than 2600 years - the terroir, climate, wines, grapes, and where the name comes from as well (hint: not from a place with many waterways in Italy!). Photo courtesy of Beaumes de Venise Getting a firsthand account from the experts who work in the region every day is the best way to learn so for this show we have two ambassadors for Beaumes de Venise, Claude Chabran of the high-quality Rhonéa co-operative, and Florence Cartier of the family-owned estate Domaine les Goubert.  Each has a unique perspective and shares fascinating information about the realities of making wine – both red and vin doux naturel -- in this marvelous region, which is really unlike any other in the Rhône.   Photo: Claude Chabran of the high-quality Rhonéa co-operative, right     In this show you'll learn about: Where Beaumes de Venise is located within the southern Côtes du Rhône, the size of the region and the importance of the unbelievable geological structures of the Dentelles de Montmirail   The terroir including the high elevation and steep slopes, the importance of the orientation of the slopes, proximity to other well-known cru, and the distinct soil types that affect the flavor of the grapes and how they are farmed   The trends toward organic farming in Beaumes de Venise Photo: Florence Cartier of the family-owned estate Domaine les Goubert The historical significance of Beaumes de Venise wine   The Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre that grow here and how each reacts to different conditions, as well as some of the blending grapes that play a big part here (Florence mentions Cinsault as a favorite!).   We discuss the flavor profile of red Beaumes de Venise Cru and how its freshness and bright fruit make it stand out among the crus of the Côtes du Rhône   The Muscat de Beaumes de Venise appellation -- how is it made, what makes it special, and why it continues to have the reputation as the finest Muscat-based vin doux naturel Claude Chabran tell us about the collegial structure of the Rhonéa cooperative, how they ensure quality, and the innovations they have pursued for their small growers   We end with information about what food pairings that work well with both the red Beaumes de Venise Cru and the Muscat de Beaumes de Venise appellation (don't forget spicy food for Muscat!) and how best to visit this lovely, historic region.     Thank you to the appellations of Beaumes de Venise for the educational partnership and financial support for this show and for teaching us about this appellation, full of history, excellent wine, and passionate producers!   For more information please visit the Beaumes de Venise site.  This podcast and post are part of a paid partnership with AOC Beaumes de Venise.

In Educational Partnership with This show is all about the Beaumes de Venise AOC, which is a double threat, making two distinctly different, yet equally stunning wine types, with a cru for each: Beaumes de Venise has been a red-only Cru of the Côtes du Rhône since 2005. It is a blended wine based on Grenache, with Syrah and Mourvèdre. The production area is spread over four communes and stretches 680 ha or 1680 acres. The communes are Beaumes de Venise, Lafare, Suzette, and La Roque-Alric – all located in the Vaucluse Department. Muscat de Beaumes de Venise has been a vin doux naturel appellation since 1945 (76 years!). It is smaller, expanding over just 314 ha or 776 acres. The wine has likely been made here since Roman times and it is insanely good!    Climate Beaumes de Venise has a distinctly Mediterranean climate, and it posts higher temperatures than some surrounding areas because the Dentelles de Montmirail shield the area from the strong, blowing cold of the Mistral wind. But Beaumes de Venise is distinct from other areas in that it has very high elevations -- the vineyard lies on slopes at 200-450 M/656-1,476 ft. The diurnal temperature swings and the breezes at elevation account for the freshness and acidity that is the hallmark of these wines. Photo: The Dentelles de Montmirail, Getty Images   Soils There are four main types of soil in Beaumes de Venise – three for the red Cru, and one that is best for Muscat: Triassic Earth (Terres du Trias): Triassic soil from 200-250 million years ago normally resides 1,500m/4,900 ft underground, but the Dentelles de Montmirail rose from deep in the earth, and the Triassic deposits came to the surface. These soils are shallow, poor, and orange/yellow (iron-rich soils often have this hue). The high clay content protects vines from drought and humidity. Photo: A wine made only from the Triassic soils, from Rhonéa Cretaceous White Earth (Terres Blanches). Formed 90 million years ago, this gray-colored rock is made of well-drained calcareous clay and marl (limestone). The Grenache and Syrah vines are of especially high quality here, as they dig deep into the soil for nutrients.     Jurassic Grey Earth (Terres Grises) from 140-150 mm years ago are Oxfordian black marl, made up of silt, clay and sand and are located mainly north of the village of Lafare, on south-eastern slopes of the Dentelles de Montmirail. These soils promote fruity flavors and uniform ripeness.     Miocene Sandstone  a sandy-clay soil produced from the erosion of soft rock from the Miocene Period 15 million years ago. These soils lie close to the town of Beaumes-de-Venise. The soil is credited with giving elegance and subtlety that makes the Muscat here so special.   Grapes and flavor profiles for Beaumes de Venise (red) The main grapes of the Beaumes de Venise Cru are Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. The red must be at least 50% Grenache Noir, with a minimum of 20% Syrah and Mourvèdre together or separately. A maximum of 20% of all the “accessory grapes” are allowed but whites can be no more than 10% of the mix. Red accessory grapes are Carignan, Cinsault, Vaccarèse, Counoise, Muscardin, Piquepoul Noir, and Terret Noir. White accessory grapes are: Bourboulenc, Clairette (blanc and rose), Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Marsanne, Piquepoul blanc, Ugni blanc, and Viognier. Photo: Grenache, Getty Images Beaumes de Venise Cru (dry red) is a fruity, ripe red, with a medium body, silky, medium tannins and refreshing acidity. Typical flavors are red berry, blackcurrant, and herbs. Certain versions are peppery with baking spice, garrigue, dried leaf, earth, and licorice. There are some fuller versions with jammy, coffee, dried fruit notes with higher alcohol, more prominent tannins, and a long finish. But even fuller versions have nice acidity and a balance of freshness and fruit. Beaumes de Venise red wines age gracefully and are more mellow and leathery after a few years. Roasted or grilled meats, mushroom tartlets, and Camembert cheese are great pairings for this wine.   Grapes and flavor profiles for Muscat de Beaumes de Venise (vin doux naturel) The vins doux naturels for Beaumes de Venise are made of the Muscat grape. The Muscat Beaumes de Venise wines are the only Muscat-based wine in the Rhône outside Clairette de Die. They are made only from Muscat blanc a Petit Grains grape, the finest in the Muscat family of grapes. These wines are mostly white (84%) with some red (1%),  and rosé (15%), the latter two being from Muscat Noir, a color mutation of Muscat blanc.   Muscat has been grown in Beaumes de Venise since 600 BC and today, the grapes grow on warm, sandy soils on mainly south-facing slopes. Considered the most elegant Muscat Vin Doux Naturel in the world, the wines are made through the process of mutage, fortification with pure grape spirit after the grapes ferment to 5 to 10% alcohol. This process leaves sugar from the grapes in the wine, making them “naturally” sweet.   The style of Muscat de Beaumes de Venise ranges from heavier and higher in alcohol to lighter with more delicate flavors. Muscat de Beaumes de Venise has intoxicating aromas and flavors like white flowers, citrus, pears, peach, tropical fruit like mango or lychee, honey, and even grapey notes. The wines are sweet with acidity and a very long finish, but the exact flavors and combination of acidity, alcohol, and sugar are dependent on site and producer. There is so much to explore!   Muscat de Beaumes de Venise is great with food... Muscat de Beaumes de Venise is great as an aperitif if it is a lighter style or, with, after or as dessert if it is heavier. The wine goes really well with Asian food –spicy Chinese or Thai and Indian are ideal.  It's a great gift to bring to a host – it will wow the crowd for its delicacy, versatility and unique profile!   Photo:  Courtesy of Beaumes de Venise AOC All the Beaumes de Venise wines are excellent and are fantastic value for money. The reds will become a staple in your weekly drinking and you'll have so much to choose from as you pick wines from different soils and expressions from different producers. The whites will be your new guilty pleasure.

Serge Doré is a fan favorite and he returns to tell us about the place in France where he feels most at home: the Rhône. He's been in wine for decades, since he got his start in his native Quebec, and has been a wine importer and wholesaler out of Chappaqua, New York for almost as long as he's been in wine. To order any of the wines he mentions or those you find on Serge Dore Selections , go to Grapes The Wine Company We've learned about life as an importer and about the business of wine in Bordeaux from Serge, and this time he tells us about the Rhône. If you are unfamiliar with the area, I'd check out the Rhône overview show first. This show goes into detail on regions and Serge regals us with stories of meetings with famous producers, and the spectacular wines they make.    The show notes this week are primarily a list of the many producers Serge mentions in the show.   Big Northern Rhône Names: E. Guigal (king of Côte Rôtie),  Domaine Jean Michel Gerin (Côte Rôtie) M. Chapoutier (king of Hermitage) Domaine Jean-Louis Chave (Hermitage, mainly) Cornas: Domaine August Clape, Domaine Alain Voge (the Cornas appellation is much improved, more elegant) St. Joseph: J.L. Chave, Domaine Chez, Delas, Anthony Paret (also makes excellent Condrieu, a white-only appellation of Viognier) Crozes-Hermitage: Laurent Fayolle, Cave de Tain It's from the southern Rhône but here we also mention a Roussanne wine in this converasation of whites: Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc Roussanne Vieilles Vignes    One great nugget Serge shares on Condrieu: It's good the year it is released, not after. Also, don't forget Hermitage Blanc -- it's stunning.  Southern Rhône Cotes du Rhone Villages: we discuss Plan de Dieu – and Philippe Cambie Gigondas, Vacqueryas: We discuss Domaine du Pradas, Yves/ElisaCheron   We discuss fewer producers and more about the differences in Cru: Vinsobres: Higher in altitude, cooler climate, more elegant wine Cairanne: Bigger wine, bolder than Vinsobres Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, Vacqueryas: Are all bolder styles Others mentioned: Lirac, Rasteau, Beaumes de Venise Serge tells us the trick to getting good Cotes du Rhone: which is buy a brand, not something you’ve never seen unless you know the importer or producer! If you want the Estate Côte du Rhône he imports:  Domaine de Dionysos. Serge tells us the most important thing about the Rhône and maybbe about wine in general these days:  “It depends on who makes the wine and the attention they pay to the wines”      And according to Serge this is getting easier as the younger generation is looking to focus on quality not quantity! Go togo to Grapes The Wine Company to order any of the wines Serge discusses!    Thanks to our sponsors this week: Thanks to YOU! The podcast supporters on Patreon, who are helping us to make the podcast possible and who we give goodies in return for their help!

To kick off 2020, we have the original wine grape, the one from which so many were derived: MUSCAT! In the show we discuss the three main types of Muscat and the wines and regions that you need to seek out to get a taste of this ancient, delicious, complex grape.  As M.C. Ice requests in the middle of the show...here are the notes!  What is Muscat? Overview A grape from which derives a complicated family of grapes that includes over 200 varieties of all colors It was most likely a Greek grape, brought to the south of France and Sicily by the Phoenicians It's known for its floral perfume and grapey flavor. The grape is spicy with orange notes, and has relatively low acidity Styles range from dry to late harvest to fortified to sparkling Berries are gold, pink, or black and the variation within vines, mean flavors can vary   The main types of Muscat: 1. Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains is the oldest grape Needs a long growing season, disease prone, doesn’t like humidity The most refined, classic Muscat, it is small berried, with a delicate but layered aroma Also known as: Moscato Bianco, came to Italy in the 1300s Common grapes derived from Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains: Moscato Giallo, Aleatico (red), Mammolo (red)   2.  Muscat of Alexandria Natural cross of Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains and Axina de Tres Bias, old black table grape grown on Sardegna, Malta, Greek Islands Not from Alexandria in Egypt!  Mid budding, late ripening, likes heat, big bunches, big berries, great for heat. Susceptible to powdery mildew, bunch rot, bugs, good with drought Less refined than Muscat à Petits Grains: sweet but not complex, less subtle – more geranium notes. Makes sticky sweet wines, rose- or orange-like or like geranium and lily of the valley Also known as Zibbibo in Sicily.  Related grapes:  Catarratto Bianco (Etna), Grillo (Sicily), Bombino Bianco (Sicily, Southern Italy), Schiava Grossa, Malvasia del Lazio, Cereza (Argentina), Torrontés (both clones) 3. Muscat Ottonel:  Bred in Loire in 1852, earliest ripener, planted in Alsace often  paler, with less aroma than the other varieties -- which can produce a softer wine 4. Muscat of Hamburg Black, table grape, low quality in Eastern Europe   Muscat in the Vineyard:  Hard to grow: Crops erratically, low acidity, can be a tough blender Pink, black, red mutations exist around the world Early budding, mid ripening, susceptible to powdery mildew, botrytis, mites, small berries Climate: Prefers warm Mediterranean climates – south of France, Italy, Greece, Spain, Australia Soils: Different types will yield different flavors. Limestone or calcareous rock, along with sand make lighter, fresher versions.  Clays, granites, can yield richer versions.  If the grape is overcropped it loses acidity and aroma and is a boring mess.    Muscat by Place:  France 18,829 acres in France/7620 ha Almost all Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains Rhône: Muscat de Beaumes de Venise (fortified) Roussillon & Languedoc: Vins doux Naturels of Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains in Frontignan, Lunel, Mireval, St. Jean de Minervois Rivesaltes: Vin doux Naturel of Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains blended with Muscat d'Alexandria in Rivesaltes Clairette de Die Sparkling of Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains Corsica: fortified wines Alsace: Muscat Ottonel and Muscat à Petits Grains. Wines are floral, fresh, grapey, and herbal with spice. Dry.    Italy  32,816 acres/13280 ha – Mostly Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains Piemonte: sweet, Asti Spumante (sparkling), Moscato d’Asti (semi sparkling, sweet, good dessert or cheese wine) Trentino Alto Adige: Use Rosenmuskateller: variation of the Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains -- rose aroma, still wine, Moscato Giallo/Goldmuskateller: orange scented dry or sweet wines Valle d’Aosta: Passito style (grapes dried on mats in the sun, raisined and then pressed) Montalcino:  DOC for dry, sparkling, sweet, late-harvest wines of Muscat Sicily: Zibbibo/Muscat of Alexandria for dry wines, Moscato di Pantelleria – passito style from a small historic island.    Spain  Grown all over Spain as Moscatel –Moscatel d’Alejandria Málaga: sweet speciality of the south Jerez/Sherry:  Moscatel used for color and sweetness, can be made alone as a sweet, passito style wine   Portugal Small amount used in white Port and other fortified wines Setúbal makes a fortified wine from it, tasty dry wines    Other Old World places: Germany, Austria, Greece   Australia Rutherglen and Glenrowan in northeastern Victoria Rutherglen Muscat: Four tier quality system -- basic, classic, grand, rare. Like figs, coffee, blackberry, chocolate, delicious, with acidity   South Africa Vin de Constance from Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains: Late harvest Probably the descendents of the famed vines of  colonial days in the 1600s  Worcester, Olifants River: Muscat of Alexandria/ Hanepoot for bulk, used for dry, sweet, fortified, table grapes   US: Central Valley for bulk white.

Welcome to Episode 47, focusing on a state that I think has one of the best flags in the country: Maryland. In this episode, we will be focusing on the 2017 Vin Doux Naturel from Old Westminster Winery, located in Westminster, MD. This particular bottle was one of three chosen by the winery as part of a #Winestudio event for the month of June. All that being said, the opportunity to review a dessert wine and talk on the podcast about the intricacies of making dessert wines along with the various styles thereof was too good a chance to resist. And so, here we have the 2017 Vin Doux Naturel, a dessert wine made of 100% estate-grown Valvin Muscat (a cross between Muscat Ottonel and the hybrid Muscat du Moulin, for the record) which was fermented with wild yeasts and fortified during fermentation using neutral grape spirits distilled from estate grapes. This particular vintage is made in a way reminiscent of wines coming from the Muscat de Beaumes de Venise AOC in France.  Here, fermentation is stopped by the slow addition of up to 10% of a 190 proof (95%) grape spirit. This additional alcohol slowly kills off the yeast, as most yeasts cannot stand an overly high concentration of alcohol. Port, as well as other similar fortified wines, are also made in this fashion. (Madeira is, too, but is then literally baked in hot steam rooms, or historically on the decks of ships; sweeter sherries are made this way also, but then develop a living coat of yeast known as flor while aging in barrel.) One can also create a sweet wine that isn't fortified by halting the fermentation before completion through chilling the wine to the temperature where yeast goes into stasis, and then sterile filtering.  A second way of creating a sweet, desert-style wine is by adding sulfites to the wine at a high enough level where the yeast cannot survive, and then sterile filtering. Sterile filtering is important for the production of sweet wines of this sort, because, without filtering, any yeasts that survive will feed on the residual sugar.  This will either make the wine ferment to dry in the tank or worse: if bottled, the CO2 created by the yeast as a result of fermentation can cause corks to pop or bottles to explode from the pressure. A final way of making a sweet wine that could qualify as a dessert wine is to back-sweeten the wine after it has finished fermenting to dry with a sugar solution or honey.  The TTB classifies a dessert wine as any grape wine containing over 14% but not more than 24% alcohol by volume. Citrus, fruit, and agricultural dessert wines must be further identified as to the fruit that was used.  I've rambled a lot about dessert wines here, and how to make them, so I'll have to be brief about the history of the wine industry in Maryland here. The oldest continuously operating winery in the state is Boordy Vineyards, located in the rural region of Hydes, Maryland. This winery was bonded in the 1940s by Philip & Jocelyn Wagner. Philip Wagner is one of the most important figures in the history of American wines that you've probably never heard of, as he quite literally wrote the first major book on the subject: American Wines and How to Make Them. The book was revised and republished as Grapes Into Wine, and it became the definitive book on winemaking in America for decades. Old Westminster Winery is much newer in comparison but is part of the rapidly expanding industry in Maryland which contributes an estimated $50 million dollars annually to the local economy. Today, Maryland has over 40 wineries, and three AVAs thus far: the Catoctin AVA (named for an Algonquin word meaning "speckled rocks") is located in Frederick and Washington Counties, while the Linganore AVA, part of the Piedmont Plateau, includes parts of Frederic and Carroll Counties. Lastly, the Cumberland Valley AVA we met in passing extends from Pennsylvania into Washington County in west-central Maryland.

Vins Doux Naturels are some of the most historic wines of France, although they remain an obscure category. Learn about the various wines made from Muscat and Grenache, such as Beaumes de Venise, Rivesaltes, and Banyuls.

This week, we take a look at the world through ros? colored glasses. Ros? has experienced an explosion in popularity recently. As we enter the peak time to enjoy this refreshing pink potion, Tony and Chef Cindy take a moment to check in with three ros? producers for different regions around the world. They give insight into their production process and shed light on why this wine has become so popular. We?ll hear from Brad Potter of Airfield Estates in Prosser, Washington - Justine Soard of Domaine de Fenouillet in Beaumes de Venise, France and Francesca Vaira of Varja of G.D. Varja in Barolo, Italy.
