In this episode of Eat Sleep Wine Repeat, Janina sits down with Max Riedel of Riedel Glassware to explore one of the most debated topics in wine education and wine tasting: does the shape of a wine glass really change the way wine tastes? From the science behind bowl size, rim diameter and aroma delivery to grape-specific wine glasses, decanters and the evolution of modern wine styles, Max shares insights from the Riedel family's glassmaking tradition dating back to 1756. Together, they discuss how different wine regions, wine grapes and winemaking approaches influence glass design, why varieties such as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay require different shapes, and how wine lovers can improve their wine appreciation through simple tasting experiments. The conversation also explores decanting wine, collecting fine wine, memorable bottles, and the changing landscape of global wine culture.

Wine Talks had tried...tried to get Ms. Anson on the show. But being the quintessential author and historian of the vineyards and wines of Bordeaux, it took a bit of scheduling. Jane Anson is the real thing. And we could have spoken for hours. She is elegant, articulate and whimisical all in one person. We already know it takes pure passion of story telling to write about wine and to study wine, but to roll into her skill set, the previously mentioned human qualities, is quite rare. If you want the real story behind a bottle of Bordeaux, don't ask the winemaker—take a look in their cellar, says Jane Anson, and see if all they drink is their own wine. That's the kind of sharp, behind-the-label wisdom I promised you when I sat down with Jane Anson, someone who knows this region not as a myth or a brand, but as a living, breathing place. She's spent twenty years in Bordeaux, weaving her own story through the halls of opulent first growths and the quiet perseverance of family-owned estates feeling the squeeze of a world in flux. Her take? Bordeaux isn't just a catalogue of big names and gilded bottles—it's where history, ego, weather, and inheritance all seem to collide in every vintage. In this conversation, Jane Anson and I dig deep into what it means to live and work in Bordeaux right now. You'll hear how the region has shrunk from a teeming 8,000 châteaux down to just 4,000, and what that upheaval actually looks like for the people on the ground—farmers, families, the next generation of winemakers. Jane Anson bursts the myth of Bordeaux as nothing but luxury, sharing stories that move from $10 bottles to legendary labels, always circling back to the truth that wine's real magic is in human connection, stories, and sharing a bottle at the table. You won't just learn about grape varietals, classifications, or price tags. In this episode, you'll get Jane Anson's inside perspective on Bordeaux's beating heart—where architecture, history, and living memory are the real terroir. Here's what you'll take away from my conversation with Jane Anson:
Priyanka French of Ghost Block Estate Wines joins the show to talk about her path from India to Bordeaux, Burgundy, New Zealand, and Napa Valley, plus how those experiences shaped her approach to vineyard-driven winemaking.

This week, Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats with her guest, Emily Roe. The two talk about the origins of Female Rage Hot Sauce, the challenges and rewards of building a mission-driven food business while balancing a full-time job, and how channeling female anger into action can spark both social change and entrepreneurial success. In this episode, we discuss: How Emily turned her love of hot sauce into the bold brand Female Rage Hot Sauce, experimenting at home during 2020 when she had extra time. What inspired the name "Female Rage Hot Sauce". When Emily realized she could transition her hobby into a business, especially after the success of fundraising events like "Hot Dogs for Abortions" in 2022. Why community matters so much to Emily's business model: from sourcing produce locally from women-owned farms to donating regularly to abortion funds and building trusted relationships at farmers' markets. Where listeners can find Female Rage Hot Sauce, including online ordering and locations in over 30 stores stretching from Los Angeles to Bordeaux, France. Emily Roe is the founder of Female Rage Hot Sauce, a bold, small-batch sauce company built on the belief that women's anger can be a force for change. With a background in media and storytelling, Emily has spent her career crafting narratives that capture attention and spark conversation. In addition to Female Rage, Emily also works full-time in press and media at the National Partnership for Women & Families. Emily has a B.S in Communication from Boston University and resides in Washington, D.C. When she's not developing new flavors or growing the business, Emily can usually be found planning her next solo travel adventure, baking challahs, or spending time with her cats, Ivy and Morty.

Rugby traveller and storyteller Harry Jones returns to 8/9 Rugby, reuniting with Brett McKay to dig into all the juicy bits in the lead-up to the Champions Cup Final in Spain this weekend, between Bordeaux and Leinster. The Bilbao clash pits a stark contrast of styles: the all-out, at times chaotic attack of UBB vs. the ideally impenetrable Jacques Nienaber defence of Leinster. From there. It's just a matter of who can on the day. Can Bordeaux back up last year's triumph and match the party that went for days?

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an séú lá déag de mhí na Bealtaine. Is mise Eoin Ó Seachnasaigh.Tá Príomh-Aire na Ríochta Aontaithe Keir Starmer faoi bhrú i ndiaidh seachtain dhramatiúil inar éirigh roinnt airí as an gcomh-aireacht in Westminster, iad ag rá nach bhfuil muinín acu as. Bhí sé i gcruachás mar thoradh ar na toghcháin áitiúla i Sasana inar chaill Páirtí an Lucht Oibre beagnach 1,500 comhairleoir ar fud na tíre, níos mó ná 450 i Londain amháin. D'admhaigh Starmer gur ndearnadh botúin le linn a théarma go dtí seo, ach go leanfadh sé ar aghaidh mar cheannaire an pháirtí agus mar Phríomh-Aire mar sin féin, cé gurb iad Reform an páirtí is mó anois agus Nigel Farage faoi lán seoil go Sráid Downing, de réir cosúlachtaí. Ba é Wes Streeting an chéad iomaitheoir mór le héirí as Dé Céadaoin, agus d'fhógair an iar-Leas-Phriomh-Aire Angela Rayner Déardaoin go bhfuil a cuid fadhbanna cánach réitithe. Ceaptar go seasfaidh sí do cheannaireacht an pháirtí mura féidir le Méara Mhanchain Andy Burnham dul san iomaíocht. Níl cead ag éinne an cheannaireacht a bhaint amach gan a bheith ina fheisire ach dúirt Josh Simons tráthnóna Déardaoin go n-éireodh sé as a shuíochán le deis a thabhairt do Burnham i bhfothoghchán. Ainm eile a luaitear leis an bpost ná iar-cheannaire an pháirtí Ed Miliband, ach tá an chuma ar an scéal nach seasfaidh sé.Go cúrsaí ceoil anois, le píosa nuachta a bheidh spéisiúil do lucht éisteachta an amhránaí as Contae Lú, David Keenan. Tar éis taispeantáis rathúla ar fud na cruinne, ag féilte scannáin ó Krakow go Chicago, tá an clár faisnéise David Keenan: Focla ar Chanbhás le feiceáil faoi dheireadh ar Sheinnteoir TG4. Paddy Hayes a stiúr é, ainm atá ceangailte le hearnáil craoltóireachta na hÉireann le blianta fada, i measc a chuid saothar bhí an tsraith iriseoireachta Corp agus Anam. Leanann an clár nua seo David ar feadh caoga lá, le fócas ar leith ar an bpróiseas cruthaitheach a bhí aige agus é i mbun taifeadta. Chomh maith leis sin, pléann sé an streachailt phearsanta fanacht glan ó bhrú na meán sóisialta agus a scéal féin á insint. Dá bhrí sin, is féidir a bheith ag súil le léargas fileata ar dhuine dár gcumadóirí comhaimseartha is cumhachtaí, agus ar a thírdreach inmheánach shaibhir.Bhí breis is míle paisinéir sáinnithe ar long chrúsála amach ó chósta Bordeaux i rith na seachtaine tar éis ráig gaistreintrítis. Cé nár bhuail an tinneas ach caoga duine, b'éigean do gach duine acu fanacht ar bord nuair a bhásaigh turasóir amháin agus léirigh roinnt de na daoine eile comharthaí an ghalair. Rinneadh iniúchadh go sciobtha agus fuair na híospartaigh cúram éigeandála ó dhochtúir na loinge sular cuireadh i gcoraintín iad. D'fhág an long darb ainm ‘Ambition' Oileáin Shealtainn ar an 6ú lá de mhí na Bealtaine agus stop sí ar dtús i mBéal Feirste agus ansin i Learpholl sular shroich sí Bordeaux. Agus muid ag taifeadadh, bhí na húdaráis fós ag bailiú samplaí ó na paisinéirí ionas go bhfeadfaí iniúchadh níos iomláine a dhéanamh. Deirtear nach bhfuil aon bhaint ag an eachtra seo leis an ráig hantaivíris a tharla ar long chrúsála de chuid na hÍsiltíre, an MV Hondius, le déanaí, ach pé scéal é, bígí cúramach má théann sibh amach ar muir!*Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

Bordeaux: The Food Capital of Southwest France You Need to Know is the latest episode of Fabulously Delicious — and it makes the case that this UNESCO World Heritage city is one of the most extraordinary and most underrated food destinations in all of France. Most people arrive in Bordeaux for the wine. This episode is about everything else — the lamprey, the canelé, the Aquitaine caviar, the markets, the chefs and the two thousand years of trade and cultural collision that made this port city on the Garonne one of the great eating cities of Europe.The first half covers the full history of Bordeaux — from the Celtic tribe who first settled on the crescent of the Garonne around 300 BC, through three centuries of English rule following Eleanor of Aquitaine's marriage to Henry Plantagenet in 1152, to the eighteenth century golden age that built the Grand-Théâtre, the Place de la Bourse and one of the most beautiful waterfronts in Europe. We cover what makes Bordeaux cuisine unlike anything else in France — a cuisine built at the crossroads of Atlantic, Mediterranean and Iberian influences, shaped by what arrived at the docks and what grew in the surrounding countryside.The second half goes deep into three of the most extraordinary food products Bordeaux has given the world — the canelé, born from the leftover egg yolks of the wine trade; lamprey à la bordelaise, the true à la bordelaise dish that most visitors never discover; and Aquitaine caviar, the only PGI protected caviar in the world, farmed in the rivers of the Gironde. We also cover the remarkable figures Bordeaux has given to French gastronomy — from Adolphe Dugléré, who served the Dinner of the Three Emperors in 1867, to Raymond Oliver, Philippe Etchebest and Hélène Darroze.Support the showMy book Paris: A Fabulous Food Guide to the World's Most Delicious City is your ultimate companion.

A year after the Eaton Fire in Altadena upended our lives, I found myself sitting down with photographer, writer, and educator Jeffery Saddoris for a conversation that was less about photography and more about what happens when life forces you to reconsider where—and how—you want to live. Recorded in February, just before our move to Bordeaux, France, this episode reflects on the long emotional aftermath of loss, displacement, and uncertainty, as well as the difficult decisions that followed in the wake of the fire. What emerged from our conversation was not simply a discussion about relocation or starting over abroad. It became an honest reflection on identity, community, work, and the search for stability after a period of profound disruption. We talk about the realities of rebuilding, the emotional weight of leaving Southern California, and the hope that comes with embracing change, even when it arrives unexpectedly. For those who have experienced upheaval in their own lives, this conversation may feel especially familiar—a reminder that sometimes the path forward only becomes visible once everything familiar has been stripped away.

This is what is so interesting about the wine trade. It takes a ton of passion to do this, it is hard work and sometimes, without the passion, it just feels like a vanity project. At Caiarosa in Italy, the passion extends from Bordeaux France. I have had the pleasure to sit with the Director of the famed Chateau Giscours, a 2nd growth Bordeaux, and find their story and approach solid, but adventurous. Enter Caiarosa on the west side of Tuscany; a solidly Tuscan winery employing the methodes and thought processes of Bordeaux; sounds mixed up? Have a listen and find out why this makes sense. Ivo Assanelli may not travel with a corkscrew in one hand and a passport in the other, but after this conversation, you'll swear he's unlocked the essence of Tuscany with each bottle he opens. This episode invites listeners into a world where the liquid in your glass is no ordinary beverage—it's a vessel for stories, heritage, and profound emotion. Paul Kalemkiarian hosts a discussion that sweeps you from windswept Tuscan hills to bustling global wine expos, all while wrestling with questions of tradition, innovation, and the ever-changing palate of a new generation. You'll immediately sense that with every uncorked bottle, Ivo Assanelli carries not just the flavors of Cairosa, but the soul of winemaking itself. You'll learn why simply calling wine "alcohol" or "a beverage" misses its very point—and how approaching a glass, whether in California or on the coast of Tuscany, is an act steeped in generations of craft, climate, and culture. The conversation pulls listeners behind the scenes into the delicate business of sustaining organic and biodynamic vineyards, the unpredictability of weather, and the fine art of blending parcels that can shift in character every few yards. They explore the struggles and triumphs of carrying European tradition into markets where attention spans are short and every shelf is crowded, revealing that success means more than just good wine; it's about forging human connections and passing along stories that endure. From clinking glasses at wine fairs to humble tales of filling demi-johns in Italian villages, every anecdote reinforces just how tightly wine is woven into the fabric of life. You'll come away tasting not just the terroir, but the history, the hardship, the romance, and the unwavering passion that makes a bottle come alive in your hands.

He created and produced, ‘The Cork Dorks'. The show was hosted with Adam and his good friend Jeremy West. It was the first of its kind. It began focusing on central coast wineries but as the show grew, so did their ability to travel and meet other winemakers they found everywhere from Napa to Bordeaux that adopted that same Central Coast quality of people willing to share their wines, and their stories. As the area's producers grew, soon Adam's interviews covered everything from spirits, craft beer, cider, cuisine, hospitality, and more. Fast forward to today, the spirit and enthusiasm cultivated with the award winning show, is reborn as The Pour with Adam Montiel, this time independently, and unfettered by corporate authority leaving it even more free to share the journey of making wine more approachable and fun for everyone.

Et si l'égalité femme-homme passait par l'égalité fille-garçon ? Dès leur plus jeune âge, les enfants sont confrontés à des stéréotypes de genre. C'est le fameux « rose pour les filles, bleu pour les garçons ». En termes de comportements également, on attend plus généralement d'une fille qu'elle soit sage, appliquée et douce et d'un garçon qu'il soit audacieux ou turbulent. Ces représentations ne sont pas sans conséquence et sont encore très intégrées voire se renforcent chez les plus jeunes. Selon une étude de France Stratégie publiée en 2025, 54% des 11-17 ans interrogés en France estiment par exemple que « les mères savent mieux que les pères répondre aux besoins des enfants ». Bien qu'ayant grandi avec le mouvement #MeToo, cette génération conserve certains stéréotypes sexistes. La lutte contre les inégalités de genre s'affiche au sommet des États, pourtant sur le terrain, elle peine encore à se concrétiser. Ainsi selon les Nations unies, les femmes consacrent toujours 4,2 heures par jour aux tâches domestiques et aux soins non rémunérés contre 1,7 heure pour les hommes. Elles ne sont que 30% à occuper des postes de direction. Confrontés à la fois aux stéréotypes qu'on leur assigne, à des contenus, films, séries, jeux vidéo, réseaux sociaux qui les véhiculent, aux inégalités présentes mais aussi aux combats féministes, comment nos enfants se construisent-ils ? Quel est le rôle de l'école dans cette construction identitaire ? Avec : - Catherine Monnot-Beranger, anthropologue, cheffe de projets à l'Égalité femmes-hommes pour le Conseil départemental de la Haute-Garonne, chargée de cours à Sciences Po Toulouse. Autrice du livre Filles, garçons - À quoi s'identifier ? Comment se construire ? (Autrement, 2026) - Gaëlle Caron Boué, directrice de l'école élémentaire Ferdinand Buisson de Bègles (Académie de Bordeaux dans le sud-ouest de la France. Partenaire du projet «Equality Street» qui vise à promouvoir l'égalité des sexes à l'école primaire. À découvrir également dans l'émission : En début d'émission, L'école autour du monde avec Matthias Eck, expert de l'éducation pour l'inclusion et l'égalité des genres de l'UNESCO et co-auteur d'une nouvelle étude qui pointe la baisse de niveau des filles en maths à l'échelle mondiale. En fin d'émission, Le monde des enfants, réalisé par Charlie Dupiot. La parole est aux enfants. Ils nous livrent leurs regards sur ce qui fait leur quotidien et leurs aspirations pour l'avenir, au micro de notre reporter Charlie Dupiot. Aujourd'hui, un thème cher à des enfants qu'on pourrait qualifier de « pré-adolescents » : la flemme !!! Comme une indolence qui semble leur coller à la peau... Jonas, Lilia, Dayana, Lison, Diel et Antoine nous en parlent, avec leurs mots. Ils sont élèves dans une classe de CM1-CM2, au sein d'une école privée, l'externat Sainte-Anne à Montesson, en région parisienne.

Former England international Katy Daley-McClean and ex-Black Fern Ruby Tui join Sara Orchard to review the Red Roses' 61-33 thrashing of Italy in Parma.John Harrison's reigning world champions made it 37 consecutive wins across all competitions with a dominant display in their fourth bonus-point victory of this year's competition.That's now 38 successive Six Nations wins, setting up what should be an epic grand finale in Bordeaux against France next weekend.The panel discuss the entertainment value of games such as this, whether winning the Six Nations would really be more impressive than the World Cup – as England's defence coach claimed pre-match, and the debutants who came on for the Roses.Timecodes: 00:10 Ruby's dramatic pod entrance 02:50 Are teams working England out, or is it just injuries letting teams score more? 05:00 How much credit do England deserve given the absentees? 06:00 How good were Lutui and Burns? 07:15 Ruby says England's domination is ‘systematic' like New Zealand's Sevens team 09:55 A debut for Haidee Head qualifies for 5 different nations!

She is the worlds preeminent authority on wine fraud. If you weren't even aware that wine fraud exists, if does...in a big way. Wait until you her Maureen's disdain for Rudy Kurniawan, the famed and jailed wine fraudster (he was sent back to Singapore a few years ago), she tells it like she feels it. You might say Maureen Downey has the world's most expensive palate—and the sharpest magnifying glass for tasting deception in a bottle. If you think wine is just about swirling, sipping, and enjoying a story-laden pour, think again. In this episode, Maureen Downey—the preeminent authority on wine fraud—uncorks a world where forgers ply their trade not just at the highest levels of Bordeaux and Burgundy, but even on supermarket shelves with bottles of everyday Yellowtail. You'll hear how the murky "gray market" and the black market enable criminal networks to slip thousands of counterfeit bottles into collections, auctions, and restaurants every year—a scandal with roots stretching all the way back to the days of Pliny the Elder. You'll follow Maureen Downey through the meticulous, forensic process used to expose fakes. Whether it's ink chemistry, glass composition, or the subtle aging of a label, you'll discover how minute details can distinguish a $3,000 treasure from a $3 dud. Paul Kalemkiarian and Maureen Downey pull back the curtain on infamous figures like Hardy Rodenstock and Rudy Kurniawan, revealing how they manipulated auction houses, winemakers, and even world-famous critics to flood the market with masterful forgeries. With stories of sting operations and daring heists, you'll learn that organized crime isn't just lurking in the shadows of fine wine—it's operating bottling lines and distribution networks worldwide, making wine fraud a global, high-stakes game. But it's not all drama and noir—the episode also delivers practical lessons you can apply as a consumer or collector.

After a career in global consulting and raising a family, Sally Evans decided to pursue a dream of owning a winery. She took WSET (Wine and Spirits Education Trust) wine courses and traveled to Bordeaux to explore the city and its appellations and discovered Fronsac (on the right bank, Episode 593 is on Fronsac!), which captured her heart. Photo: Sally Evans. Courtesy of Ch George7 She went for it – she bought a small plot in 2015 and decided to build a new château from scratch. She found the right plot, and the right people and that château today is the award-winning Château George7. She makes two other reds besides her main wine and a white Bordeaux.

It's a practical guide to help people reimagine their lives. Here's the blurb from Sally on what it covers: "I lead you through: the process of defining your dream, dealing with those inevitable fears then building the confidence to take the leap, and flourish in the new chapter, no matter what your midlife move entails. It shares the realities of a major midlife change - my journey from corporate life and Mum, to creating a wine château in Bordeaux from scratch. I hope my story and the practical guidance in this book inspire you and other women (and why not men?) to embrace your midlife transformations with confidence and passion." Sally was on the podcast previously discussing her project with Wendy Narby, Wineand2Veg, about how to pair Bordeaux with vegetarian food.

Episode 176 takes us live to The Oenophile Institute for an engaging audience conversation with winemaker Matt Taylor, a third-generation Sonoma County native whose thoughtful approach to farming and winemaking has made him one of California's most compelling voices in small-production wine. Known for crafting wines across several labels and portfolios, Matt shares how his deep connection to the Sonoma Coast AVA continues to shape his philosophy in the cellar that is rooted in biodynamic farming, minimal intervention, and allowing the vineyard to speak for itself as naturally as possible. Throughout the conversation, we explore Matt's diverse winemaking journey, from harvests and experiences in Argentina, Bordeaux, and New Zealand, to the unique energy he brings back home to California. We also uncover fascinating Napa Valley history connected to his Ink Grade project on Howell Mountain while discussing mountain viticulture, heritage vineyards, and the evolving identity of California wine. And because no live audience episode is complete without a few surprises, the night also ventures into the world of wine and hip hop pairings thanks to a special audience guest who specializes in connecting music, culture, and wine in unexpected ways. From farming philosophies to global winemaking experiences to soundtrack-worthy pairings, this episode is a vibrant look at the people, stories, and creativity shaping modern California wine.Recorded April 16, 2026 with a live audience at The Oenophile Institute in Smyrna, GA-----------------*** Check out our MERCH SHOP to directly support the show, and visit www.acorkintheroad.com for all upcoming events and media contributions
He changed everything...without a clue on what can of worms he was going to open. Steven Spurrier, the architect of the Judgement of Paris, checked in with Wine Talks to tell his and it's story. He passed only weeks after. Stephen Spurrier was never just a spectator in the world of wine—he was the host who re-sorted the guest list, rewrote the rules, and decanted a whole new future for California and beyond. In this episode of Wine Talks, you'll hear firsthand how one Englishman's curiosity and courage upended centuries of French dominance and invited America to the table. Spurrier's journey, as recounted to Paul K, is laced with wit and candor: from his early days as an "independent younger brother" joining the London wine scene, to his adventurous leap to Paris where he found not only love, but the seeds of a movement that would blossom into the historic Judgment of Paris. Each anecdote bubbles over with the energy of a man unafraid to say "why not?" and willing to challenge everything for the sheer joy of discovery. A glass in hand, you'll travel alongside Spurrier as he navigates the peculiarities and prejudices of Parisian wine culture, reinvents himself as a merchant and educator, and eventually pulls off a tasting so legendary that its aftershocks are still felt today. Revelations abound—not just about the logistics and emotions behind May 24, 1976, but about the characters, the stakes, and the unintended consequences for both the icons of Bordeaux and the upstart producers of Napa Valley. As the story unfolds, you'll hear how a spirit of risk, trust in communication, and a belief in honest storytelling led to a blind tasting that didn't just surprise critics, but also rebalanced the global map of wine quality and perception. But this episode uncorks far more than history—it invites you into the ongoing debate about wine's future. With Spurrier's trademark blend of reverence and irreverence, you'll learn why wine, at its best, is more about friendship, education, and shared narrative than points, packaging, or trends. Whether you're a cork purist, a screwcap convert, or an adventurer intrigued by ancient vineyards in Armenia, Spurrier reminds us that wine's deepest magic is—and will always be—in the stories we sip and share together. Here are five things you'll discover with a swirl of your glass:
We're podding from the Stade Atlantique in Bordeaux after Bath's hopes of winning a first Champions Cup since 1998 were dashed by the holders. Chris and Paul Grayson pick the bones out of an epic encounter and discuss where the semi-final got away from Bath. They also chat to Johaan van Grann who airs his frustration with the lack of consistency from the French TV directors. Bordeaux progress to the final in Bilbao and we grab a word with Ben Tameifuna and a special guest in the tunnel after the game. Leinster await, and we dissect Leo Cullen's comments about the media after they saw off Toulon in Dublin. Can the Irish province finally add that elusive sixth star after making another final? Or can Bordeaux go back-to-back?
