Podcast appearances and mentions of brian mcclintic

My guest for this episode is Brian McClintic. For many people in the wine world, Brian needs no introduction. He's one of the co-stars of the Somm documentaries where we watch him go from being a young, ambitions lover of wine, to becoming a Master Sommelier, and then his further evolution as global wine expert. Then, perhaps even more significantly, Brian became disillusioned with his membership in the Court of Master Sommeliers, turned in his pin, and resigned from the Court. The development of his perspective on wine continued through the projects and ideas he began exploring through his online wine club Viticole and its associated podcast. When Brian recently wrote a post on his Viticole blog titled “Reimaging Terroir” – which I highly recommend everyone read – I knew I wanted to get Brian to talk about his new ideas here on the podcast.  Brian presents a way to reimagine wine. He discusses how our climate issues are just a symptom of our disconnection from the natural world. He shares a vision where a diversity of wine ingredients leads to biodiversity in agriculture, and makes our obsession with clearing forests and landscapes to plant a monoculture of non-native single variety plants seem absurd. We talk about blind tasting, terroir, and growing polyculture agroforestry that includes grapes with fruit trees and bushes. If you are ready for a new vision of wine, get ready for a ride of rethinking viticulture to remind us of our dependence on the natural world, reconnect and deepen our bond with nature, and be reminded of who is leading the dance… It's not us. https://www.viticolewine.com/ Sponsor: https://www.centralaswine.com/

With an outsider's perspective, Jason Wise, director of the SOMM movies and founder of SOMM TV, has been able to find stories in the world of wine that interest a broad audience. In order to control more of the content pipeline and how the shows are distributed, Jason founded SOMM TV. Using "Somm" as more of a curator, SOMM TV has wine at its core and covers food, travel, and other alcohol, making it appealing to a broad (and younger) audience.

Jason Wise and Brian McClintic, MS, discuss cider, introducing apple trees into vineyards, and more.

Today’s guest is Johannes Schellhorn, Sommelier and the co-owner of the ‘Freundschaft’ wine bar in Berlin. Johannes’s philosophy about the duties of a sommelier tells you everything how open-minded he is when it comes to various gastronomic products: “To think about everything you put in your mouth”. He also shared a drop of his widespread knowledge about fruit wines and his approach to natural wines. You will be introduced to the Berlin wine life and how the ‘Freundschaft’ has found its place in its neighborhood. Just a glimpse: “In a city where people can go to night clubs and dance naked for 48 hours, those are not the people who demand a classic Bordeaux.” You can also learn strange beverage-food pairings and some exciting tips on how to use social media in the wine branch. I hope you find this episode as cool and loose as I have, and we can all enjoy a nice wine ghost on the “Freundschaft’ terrace soon. | Johannes Schellhorn’s Instagram: @derschellhorn | Freundschaft’s Instagram: @bar_freundschaft | Wine Ghosts’ Instagram: @wineghosts | Wine Ghosts’ E-Mail: infowineghosts@gmail.com | Instagram accounts that were mentioned at the end:/ Marko Kovac: @markokovac/ Sebastian Georgi: @wine.g.orgy/ Brian McClintic: @brianmcclinticm | 5:30 – What is he looking for in a wine to put on the list | 22:15: Freundschaft & Berlin’s wine life | 36:35: Social Media usage in the wine branch | 45:45: food-wine pairings & Some Personal thoughts |
