Podcasts about Burgundy

Wine is essential to the Thanksgiving meal, and of course we discuss some pairing strategies as we do every year. Our quick “greatest hits” is from the TV spot I did with WWLP in Massachusetts, where I discussed wine pairing – check it out here: https://www.wwlp.com/massappeal/picking-the-perfect-wine-for-thanksgiving/  After we do a review, the focus of this show is how to wow the crowd with easy wine cocktails. You can use what you have on hand or grab a few basic items and you'll become the holiday host of the season. We talk about these marvelous cocktails, with tips on how to make them, but as promised the links to the recipes are below.   1. Apple Cider Mimosa: The key to this one is to make sure you rim the glass with sugar and cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice. It's not hard to add sparkling wine to apple cider, but the festive rim with it's delicious spices will make the drink shine. Here's the link to the recipe: : https://wine365.com/fall-cocktails/   2. Cranberry Mimosa: A variation on a theme, this time you want to use a little less cranberry juice and more sparkling wine to ensure the blend doesn't taste too tart or bitter. Again, the key to a delicious drink is going to be the sugar-rimmed glass. Recipe: https://stressbaking.com/wprm_print/6796   3. Kir/Kir Royale: A classic wine cocktail from Burgundy, this couldn't be easier to make. No recipe needed – 2 parts Aligoté, Chablis, or an unoaked, fairly neutral wine with excellent acidity, to 1 part Crème de Cassis (dark red liqueur from blackcurrants) and you're in business. If you want to go nuts, go for the Kir Royale and use Champagne or sparkling wine instead of dry white!  Photo: Kir Royale from Pixabay   4. The New York Sour: According to Liquor.com, this drink has been around for at least 140 years (and they claim that despite the name, it originated in Chicago!). It's a spin on a Whiskey Sour – the classic with rye or bourbon, lemon juice, simple syrup, and, for a touch of salmonella, a raw egg white. This drink is the same ingredients, but after the Whiskey Sour is shaken and poured, you very slowly pour red wine on top and you get a pretty looking red wine float, which also adds some great fruitiness and acidity to the drink. Here are details: https://www.liquor.com/recipes/new-york-sour/ Photo: Unsplash 5. Hot Spiced Wine: I love this recipe because it include kirsch/cherry brandy. The base of the drink is red wine and kirsch but the get and go is all about the spices you add – peppercorns, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, and various citrus zest make this wine cocktail really sing. A perfect wine for a cold, fall day. And you can make a huge vat of it ahead of time and reheat it for guests! Check out the recipe here: https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/hot-spiced-wine     6. Murderer's Row: I know I should have introduced this one for Halloween, but the fact that this cocktail includes Port, and I really love the idea of serving Port with dessert (but I understand you may not want a lot left over!), makes it an MVP for a big holiday meal. Crush up blackberries, then grab some Port, bourbon, lemon juice, pear juice, and simple syrup, shake it up and you will be the hero of the night…and feel free to rename the cocktail to (YOUR NAME HERE) Row! Recipe:  https://wine365.com/fall-cocktails/ Photo: Unsplash 7. The Paysan from the now closed restaurant, Poste in Washington, D.C.: As I say in the show, Chambord with anything pretty much wins the day for me. This wine cocktail is like a dream come true – fruity red, cranberry juice, orange juice and Chambord with zests of various citrus fruits and BAM! A delicious wine cocktail is born. Here is the link to the recipe: https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/paysan   8. The Francophile: I have no idea why the recipe here calls for Rioja when it's called the Francophile so I've changed it to incorporate Bordeaux (Merlot-based, basic Bordeaux is perfect. It should have some tannin and acidity to offset the brandy). This is another variation of mulled wine, this time with Calvados, the apple-brandy that is an AOC and is required to be aged in oak before it's released. You can go high rent or get another apple brandy, but either way, the combo of Calvados, Bordeaux, cinnamon simple syrup ,and lemon juice heated up will make you the hostess with the mostess/host with the most. Here is the recipe: https://www.liquor.com/recipes/francophile/ Photo: Unsplash   Happy Thanksgiving or happy fall – either way, we are grateful to you for listening and for your support!!   ________________________________________________ Thanks for our sponsors this week: Wine Access: Access to the best wines for the best prices!

Christophe Baron's family dates back to the mid 17th Century in Charly sur Marne in Champagne. He studied viticulture in Champagne and Burgundy. After meeting an American in Burgundy, Christophe was convinced to head west to Oregon and Washington and discovered their stony vineyards. He bought his first vineyard, Cayuse in 1997, now farming biodynamically. Christophe has unstoppable energy, ambition, curiosity, and a respect for the land. His Bionic Wine's portfolio is mind-boggling including Champagne Christophe Baron, Cayuse, Hors Categorie, Horsepower, and No Girls. Christophe's wines have reached cult status along with critical acclaim. The question to Christophe— is all that enough and what's next?Photo Courtesy of Christophe Baron.Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

Episode Summary:-Jasper Morris MW, one of the world's leading experts on Burgundy, talks to Sarah Kemp about the region and the new edition of his award-winning book, Inside Burgundy, which has just been published. The first edition was published over ten years ago and Jasper discusses the updated book and the aspects of Burgundy which have been affected by climate change.In the new edition, he has gone into more detail on lesser-known areas, such as Monthélie, Fixin, and the Maconnais, and tells Sarah he regrets not being able to cover Beaujolais, but, he notes, “after 800 pages, a book has to be bound by hand.” The new edition is 150 pages longer than the first, and describes more than 1,200 vineyards and 300 wine villages, as well as appraising 700 domaines. He discusses how climate change has affected the vintages and discloses how the producers have responded to new conditions. Jasper explains how the changing patterns of airflow and wind has meant that the polar air currents are much weaker and are sliding down, and how there are now fewer southwestern winds, but more north and south, which are both dry. “People have to manage extreme weather events, plus a generally hot and dryer climate,” he says. Jasper also talks about the different measures the producers are taking to deal with the new climate conditions, including electric cables (which are already used in Chablis, but need large water supplies), mobile wind turbines and smudge pots, though, he adds, some producers are reluctant to use them, as they are petro-chemical based. The rise of Aligoté is something that Jasper tells Sarah he is in favour of, as it is properly Burgundian, and takes longer to ripen, which brings freshness and acidity. He believes that canopy management is crucial, and rootstock needs looking at, as some rootstock is failing. He reports that the picking window has changed and producers need to be ready to go earlier than before. “People are going to have to be a lot more intelligent about their picking dates,” he states. The use of whole bunch and partial bunch fermentation is also discussed. “2014 and 2017 had wider windows for picking because the sugars weren't galloping, and that's why those two are amongst my favourite two white Burgundy vintages,” Jasper reveals. He explains he likes early-ripening sites less than before and has found that Pommard “is hitting a wonderful streak of exciting wines.”Sarah asks him what had surprised him most when writing the second edition. “Aligoté has leapt forward,” he replies. They discuss premature oxidation and Sarah asks if it has gone away. “No, but it nearly has,” he replies. Jasper then talks about how the different vintages are developing for both reds and whites, which vintages to keep and which to drink, plus his favourites. Finally, the question of value is raised by Sarah and Jasper advises to look at some of the best producers in lesser communes. He also suggests there is true value to be found in Monthélie, Saint-Romain, the Hautes Côtes and the Maconnais.“It was this frost in 2021 which has made people realise quite how serious it is.”— JASPER MORRIS MWSubscribe to my website and get full access to my scores, tasting notes, detailed write-ups on producers and much more:https://www.insideburgundy.com/register/Daily updates on our Instagram: @insideburgundy#JMIBLive #JasperMorris

Both Corry Craighill & Ashleigh White have had an interesting start to their careers in the wine industry.  Corry has made wine all over the world and Ashleigh has worked on the West Coast and the East Coast of this country.While Ashleigh had the good  fortune to have her uncle, Jeff White turn the family farm into a vineyard, thus providing her with an opportunity to take a shot at winegrowing-- Corry started by working in the tasting room at Jefferson Vineyards for her first taste of what the wine industry is about.  In my opinion they both have years of success ahead of them and I am sure will make a positive contribution to the future of winegrowing in Virginia.HIGHLIGHTS OF THE INTERVIEW:a). Corry details the early start to her career when she worked in the cellar or vineyard at Blenheim Vineyards, in Australia, where she says because of the size of the operation she hated it. In South Africa and after that back to Blenheim, then Oregon and Central Coast of California.  worked with Michael Shaps and even did a brief stint in Burgundy.  All of this at a fairly young age.b). Ashleigh describes working in California in the Central Coast with Raj Parr and Sashi Moorman, and then back to the vineyards and cellar at Glen Manor Vineyards.  While she never intended this to be her career path, she is loving it and is all in.c). Corry is voted winemaker of the year in Loudoun County in 2019 when she was at Sunset Hills and then takes the position at Septenary and leaves Loudoun for the Monticello AVA and Charlottesville.d).  Both Ashleigh & Corry offer their opinions on the present and future of Virginia wines and provide an interesting perspective from the younger generation.Much, much, more.  Check it out by listening the the Episode or read the Transcript.

This episode features winemaker Cabell Coursey of Coursey Graves in California. Originally from Atlanta, GA, Cabell talks about how he first cut his teeth in the vineyards and cellars of Burgundy, New Zealand, and Willamette Valley before establishing his California career making benchmark wines in the Napa and Russian River valleys. He talks about why he believes in wines that have a sense of place and how he strives to make wines with transparency, revealing not only the character of the vineyard and vintage, but also the history and potential of his craft. We discuss how his care and attention dedicated to each growing season transcends from the vineyard to the cellar. The Coursey Graves 40-acre estate is surrounded by the rugged terrain of Bennett Mountain with southwestern exposure and a volcanic soil composition of red clay, basalt boulders, and shattered rock. Even after two dozen harvests, Cabell recognizes how each one still shapes him as a vintner and winemaker. He also shares what he likes most about coming back to visit his family in Atlanta and how exciting it is to see the Southeast wine scene continue to evolve.

The BYOB King! How Mark Iacono built Lucali's into an NYC institution brick by brick and bottle by bottleMJ's guest is a chef and owner of the one of the most sought after pizzerias in all of Brooklyn, Mark Iacono. Born and raised in Carroll Gardens, Mark Iacono grew up fully immersed in Italian American culture. He was a regular neighborhood kid. He enjoyed his grandmother's cooking, playing centerfield, and trips to the local candy shop with his father.

Lucali has become a B.Y.O.B. destination for wine collectors — the front window is lined with empty Burgundy bottles, including a 1971 La Tâche. Mark's clientele include the likes of Jay-Z and Beyonce, Paul McCartney, and David Beckham. Mark has appeared in New York Magazine, Insider, the Today Show, Late Night with Seth Meyers and Netflix's Ugly Delicious.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey kick off this Washington Football Talk with a few smaller topics before getting into one major topic and then closing the proceedings out with a few more smaller topics. At the start, they look at the NFC playoff picture — yes, the NFC playoff picture — and where Washington fits before debating which injured player's absence has been the most harmful. Then, it's major topic time, and that major topic is Deshaun Watson. Should the Burgundy and Gold pursue him or is he off limits? Not surprisingly, there's a lot to unpack there. And then to wrap up, the hosts hit their 100 Chips, Over/Unders and Benjamin Franklin segments before tossing to JP's 1-on-1 with Jamin Davis, where the rookie explains how the game is beginning to slow down for him. If you like podcasts where JP reveals his new retirement dream and there's a totally bizarre junkyard/bed analogy, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As the wine investment business leader with $275M of assets under management, Cult Wines has been a pioneer in the space for over a decade.  Born out of a passion for wine, Tom Gearing, CEO and founder of Cult Wines, tries to balance the head and heart elements of investing in wine with actively managed portfolios by CFAs and experiences with some of the top wineries of the world.  Tom shares all the details and great examples of why people should consider investing in wine, the Cult Wine investment process, and where Cult Wines is heading.  Detailed Show Notes: Tom's backgroundfounded Cult Wines w/ his brother in universityFather was an investment banker with a passion for wine, especially BurgundyTraveled a lot to Burgundy as a childStarted an import company - Burgundy CellarThe early 2000s - started Financial Wines - an online price transparency tool, but ran out of funding after the dot com crash2007-2008 - during Financial Crisis - people looking for alternative investments - Tom realized wine was a safe haven and should be more investableBased in the UKWhere the Wine trading is very well establishedThe UK has tax free status for wine trading for anyone in the world - can keep wine in a tax free warehouse where you don't pay taxes (sales tax, VAT) upfrontAsian collectors used London to build collections before shipping itBrexit impact - mostly operational (shipping is a lot slower) vs. tax,Why invest in wine?Those with a passion for wine - Build a fine wine collection, can drink it, or sell it in the futureThose not passionate about wine - wine prices are more consistent and tend to go up in value because the supply goes down over time (people drink it), tends to be insensitive to financial market fluctuations (went up in value in 2009) - suitable for diversificationVs. art/cars/other alternative investments, wine is more attractive:Accessibility - lower barriers to entry - hundreds or thousands of dollars for wine vs. millions for fine art/carsLiquidity - better than other alternative assetsPrice transparency - more trading publicly and more visibility (though, still not as good as it could be)Wine investment serves as a storage/aging function for the fine wine market with pristine provenance and authenticityCult Wines OverviewNot a retailer - acquires wines on behalf of clientsThree warehouses - London, Paris, BordeauxEU changed storage laws in 2016 to hold wines without paying VAT (similar to the UK)Have own warehouse and staff to ensure provenance and authenticity of wines (e.g., caught heat damage on a shipment of Scarecrow wine and made a claim with freight forwarder immediately)Has own photography studio and processes 250 cases/day, and photos are immediately uploaded for inspectionInvestment processHas a managed portfolio service (min $10k investment)Gather client objectives - risk profile, investment duration (3-5 years, 5-10 years, 10+ years), how wine fits into their entire portfolioBuild a personalized, customized portfolioStore wine in physical warehouses (clients own bottles or cases, the physical asset b/c it's hard to have liquidity for funds where people have fractional ownership of a fund)Get access to investment platformTop-down investment process - actively managed portfoliosCult Wines has a Chief Investment Officer (CIO), and all portfolio managers are Chartered Financial Analysts (CFA)Constantly reviewing the market and making asset allocation decisionsE.g., Trump Tariffs on European wine - team thought Bordeaux would go down in price, proposed reducing allocations from 40% -> 30% and re-allocate to Italy, which looked undervalued already and had no tariffs;

A serial entrepreneur, Anthony Zhang, was pondering alternative investments and fell into wine.  With superior returns to the S&P 500, less volatility, and low correlation with the stock market, wine investment seemed like a perfect category to democratize with technology.  Anthony tells us why people should consider investing in wine, the Vinovest investment process, and how wine investment may impact the wine industry.  All with a mission of lowering the cost and barriers for the average consumer to invest in wine. Detailed Show Notes: Anthony's backgroundHe grew up around the world, childhood in Beijing and Hong KongWent to USC for college and founded EnvoyNow, a food delivery service for college campuses with investment from Mark Cuban and Peter ThielWas considering alternative investments and was attracted to wine over others (e.g., art, cars)Wine investing challengesHard to get access to the winesFees for auctions, shipping, and storageInvestment thesis - fine wine has outperformed the S&P 500 over the last 20 years, has half the volatility, and has a low correlation with the stock market (i.e., is a good hedge); wine also has a decreasing supply over time, which enables appreciation over timeVinovest investment processChoose how much to invest, how long to invest in (e.g., 5 vs. 20 years), and your risk appetite (e.g., blue-chip wines like 1st growths or Grand Cru Burgundy or “emerging markets” like newer winemakers, ownership changes, etc.…) => this helps determine which wines to invest inInvest in whole bottles or cases, not fractional bottles or fractions of a portfolioAcquire, store, and insure winesVinovest can help sell wines as wellFees - all-inclusive 2.85% / year asset management feeAccess/procurement of winesShipping and wine storageInsuranceAverage bottle price ~$200-600/bottleAcquire wines below retail by buying direct from negociants or wineriesCurrently managing ~$50M (as of Sept 2021)Can take physical delivery of wines - but often stored in Europe, so can arrange for batch delivery with others to reduce shipping costs (from hundreds of dollars to Vinovest's insurance company inspects and authenticates the winesVinovest only buys in-bond so can track the previous ownersKey players in the wine investment spaceMainly in Asia and EuropePrivate Banks have wine funds, UK (Vin-X, Wine-ex, Cult Wines)Vinovest differentiation - more technology-driven, collect more data and aggregate it to create automated investment strategiesTo address wine funds that fail - each investor owns their wines with an audit trail that shows the wine is theirs Wine investment impact on the wine industryWine prices may increase as more players enter the investment marketClimate change is  increasing prices through lower yieldsIt won't impact commercial wines (e.g., $10-20 bottles), but fine winesAuction houses - the modern investor isn't okay with paying 20-25% premiumsRegulationUS - wine is classified as a collectible, like art or rare coins, and is subject to capital gains tax when sold (self-reported)Int'l - some countries, like the UK, France, and parts of Asia, wine is classified as a “wasting asset” with an expiration date (often 50 years) and is capital gains tax-freeNext for Vinovest - want to continue to educate consumers on the benefits of wine investing, intends to create a low entry point to make wine investing more accessible

Hopefully this Washington Football Talk is more memorable than the Burgundy and Gold's loss to the Chiefs. JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey get things started by passing on an interesting note about Mitch's tie and then falling into a rabbit hole of sadness about the state of the franchise and the direction its going. That then leads into more down discussions about the faith each host has that Washington will make 2021 a positive season. Eventually, they go through their usual postgame staples, Mitch gives you a rousing update on DeAndre Carter and, to close, you'll hear JP's 1-on-1s with Chase Young and Sean Taylor's father, Pedro, plus a great mashup of guys like Joe Gibbs, Santana Moss, Ed Reed and Reggie Wayne reminiscing about Sean over the years that Mitch put together. If you like podcasts where JP relays an unbelievable story about something he thought was real but actually wasn't and Pete gives it his all after a long wedding weekend, then this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey have quite a bit to discuss on this particular Washington Football Talk. Unfortunately, as usual, the first topic doesn't have to do with the upcoming matchup, but rather the club's horrific handling of Sean Taylor's jersey retirement. Following a tremendous intro by JP, the three hosts spend the first 15 minutes or so of the show bashing the Burgundy and Gold for botching something that should've been so easy and so celebratory. After getting that out of their systems, the trio turns their attention back to football, which includes segments on whether this weekend's meeting with the Chiefs will actually stay close (Mitch thinks so) and if the current message that Ron Rivera is emphasizing is the wrong one (Pete thinks so). Then comes the typical pregame segments and an adult question from Pete that he poses to his two adult cohosts. And lastly, things close with JP going 1-on-1 with Chase Young and Ron Rivera (the Young chat happened on Wednesday, while the Rivera interview came on Monday). If you like podcasts where Mitch makes a ridiculous claim (even by his standards) and JP quotes both "Of Mice and Men" and Bane, then this is the episode for you.14.2839.34See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jeff Mangahas, winemaker at Williams Selyem Wines, is our guest on California Wine Country with Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger. Harry Duke is sitting in or Steve Jaxon today. We begin with a wine that Dan Berger has brought from his extensive personal cellar. He calls it "a baby," it is a 2010 Riesling from Robert Weil from the Rheingau. As they taste the 2010 Riesling from Robert Weil in the Rheingau, region in Germany (located east of Frankfurt). It is 11 or 12 years old now, yet it is still in transition. It will be even better in six or seven years. The Rheingau is a little warmer than the rest of the country. The hills are steep, the bedrock is slate and there isn't much topsoil. Dan Berger suggests putting it in a black glass, which changes your perception of it. A good Riesling can be considered a red wine without color. Jeff Mangahas summarized the story of Burt Williams and Ed Selyem who were making garage wine in the ‘70s and ‘81 was their first commercial release. Pinot Noir mostly, a little Chardonnay and a little Zinfandel, mostly from unique sites with terroir personality. They focus on small vineyards, unique sites, wines with personality. They suddenly won an award for the #1 Pinot Noir in the nation and they were off to the races, with great success. John Dyson bought the property from Bert and Ed in 1989. The story is on their website. https://www.williamsselyem.com/our-history/ They have a small production that is sold direct to consumer. You have to be on their mailing list to get their wines. There are only 500-600 cases of this Rochioli vineyard Pinot Noir made every year. They just finished harvest of Zinfandel this year. The weather was perfect this year and they could pick under ideal conditions. They starated around Aug. 12. Usually they are one of the first in Russian River Valley to pick. They have such diversity in their vineyard sites, and Jeff describes monitoring the sugars and ripeness and phenolic levels for each vineyard. This year's quality is very good although the crop is a bit smaller than usual. Jeff has brought a 2021 to compare to the 2019 Rochioli Pinot Noir that he brought. It is also a raw, young wine, but showcases the intensity of the year. Williams Selyem was once called Hacienda del Rio, which Dan Berger says is a pretty fancy name for it considering that it was a garage. Bert and Ed were working at the SF Chronicle when they came to start making wine. They had an innovative way of making Pinot Noir. These wines were lighter in weight and lighter in style but the flavors were “outrageously interesting.” They managed to capture the personality of the different vineyards. Ed Selyem was the wine buyer at the store where Dan Berger would buy their wine. Ed Selyem was the wine buyer at Speer's Market in Forestville, so that was the only place to find it, so Dan used to get it there. Dan Berger tells how Williams Selyem revolutionlzed Russian River Valley as a Pinot Noir region. They did it withoug adding weight or depth to the wines. That is what set Burgundy wines apart, what gave them personality, and these wines are made that way. Jeff Mangahas tells how winemaking is a second career. He had an established career as a biomedical research scientist, with a Biology degree from University of Washington. He even worked at Princeton University as a reasarch scientist for two years. But he liked wine and knew about Washington wines, even back then. He and his wife took wine tours in Europe and loved it. He went for an MS in Enology at UC Davis. His first wine making job was at Dutton-Goldfield, which was a great education. He is still friends with Dan Goldfield. At Hartford Court in Forestville in 2006 he got his first winemaking job. In 2011 he started at Williams Selyem. He worked for winemaker Bob Cabral there. “It is a dream job.” Dan Berger says that Jeff “has checked all the boxes,” because he has worked with such great expert winemakers early in h...

It's time for another preview installment of Washington Football Talk show, as JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey get you geared up for the Burgundy and Gold's trip to Atlanta. To open it up, the guys explain the very pleasant news that Curtis Samuel is set to debut on Sunday, though one host is more skeptical than the others. The trio also has a debate about whether Antonio Gibson is set to have a very busy weekend. From there, they do their usual pregame segments (even though JP tries to erase one). And, lastly, they toss to JP's 1-on-1 with Kam Curl, who addresses the defense's cold start and his alma mater's phenomenal college campaign. If you like podcasts where JP passes on some wise homecoming advice and Pete undersells himself in his wildest dreams, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Accidentally filling the big shoes of Michael Broadbent and Steven Spurrier, Jane Anson, wine critic, author of Inside Bordeaux, founder of janeanson.com, and former Bordeaux correspondent for Decanter for nearly 20 years, is one of the world's foremost experts on the wines, history, and region of Bordeaux.  Having lived in Bordeaux since 2003, Jane shares her deep insights into how Bordeaux became as famous as it is, how the systems of La Place de Bordeaux and En Primeur work, and the complex terroir of the region.  She gives us insight into the content of janeanson.com and how it will be a unique look into Bordeaux, focus on the drinkability of the wines, and many of the unique features to be released. Detailed Show Notes: Jane's backgroundLiving in Bordeaux since 2003, she thought she'd only be there for 1-2 yearsJournalist backgroundDecanter's Bordeaux correspondent for nearly 20 years, wrote a weekly column since 2014, the sole Bordeaux wine critic since the 2016 vintageShe took a tasting aptitude class at the enology school in BordeauxShe chose Bordeaux because it's still a big city (lived in London before), 2 hours from the Spanish border, 2 hours from ParisJaneanson.comCan be accessed by inside-bordeaux.com or janeanson.comSaw a gap in the market for a website specializing in Bordeaux vs. ~4-5 for BurgundyValue propositionNo outside investment, no advertisingFocus on drinkabilityCovers all wines that sell through La Place de Bordeaux (including the ~90 wines that are not Bordeaux wines)Regular verticals, en primeur, in bottle reportsTwo weeks of trips during the yearOne week - for high-end collectorsOne week - “free” aimed at young sommeliers, people that want to work in the wine trade to showcase the dynamic side of BordeauxLaunch specialsa translation of memoirs of a WWII soldier in BordeauxVertical of tiny producer LaFleur Saint-Jean - lies in between Lafleur, Lafleur Petrus, and Petrus in Pomerol only sells direct, sells out immediately, had never done a vertical before1% for the Planet - 1% of revenue goes towards environmental charitiesBordeaux's rise and fallKey advantagesA port city, far enough inland to be a safe port12th century - duchy of the English crown, wines were sold in the London marketThe system of chateaux, merchants, negociants was built for exportTerroir is very complex (which may be why it's not talked about much), e.g., of the 61 wines in the 1855 Medoc classification, all of them are on two specific gravel terraces (#3 & 4) of the six terraces of the MedocMostly clay underneath with gravel on topLots of micro terroirsSt Emilion - has pure limestone, clay, and gravelIssues that have hurt BordeauxEvery vintage is not great, though Bordelais often say thatFrustrate people based on the prices they ask (e.g., 2009/2010 vintages - many people who bought lost money)La Place de BordeauxBusiness to business, sell to merchants that sell to consumersVirtual marketplace - enables access to 10,000 clients globallyIncludes chateaux, brokers, and negociantsSells wine into every level of the food chain - has specialists for on-trade, off-trade, hotels, corner shops, supermarkets, etc.…It doesn't build your brand but makes sure it gets everywhereGood at giving the illusion of scarcityCan use La Place for specific markets - La Place has expertise in the Asian markets (e.g., China, Vietnam, Japan)Very rare to have exclusivity for negociantsDownsides of La PlaceCreates a very competitive environment - low-end wines compete with each otherProtects Bordeaux well;

Steph, earl, Jackie, and Vlad get together to talk Colorado Avalanche rookie showcase games, training camp, PTOs, Logan O'Connor's new deal, roles for players like Bowen Byram and Alex Newhook, and also there's a major announcement in here too...

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey have a preview of Washington's first road trip of the season for you right here. To begin, the guys discuss the two keys for the Burgundy and Gold: Whether the defense will finally wake up and what to expect from Taylor Heinicke (the latter part leads into a back-and-forth about whether his injury history is being talked about too much). After chatting about those issues, the hosts run through their Over/Unders, 100 Chips and Benjamin Franklin segments before tossing to JP's 1-on-1 with Jonathan Allen. In that interview with Allen, you'll hear the defensive lineman get very candid about his contract extension and his unit's issues so far. If you like podcasts where JP gets very upset with a spam text but also gets complimented for a new accessory, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

One of the greatest Chardonnays (and actually white wines) in the world comes from Chablis in the northern part of Burgundy. In this show we discuss this historic region and why it is capable of making the most distinctive, minerally, terroir-driven white wines made.    Here are the show notes:  Map: https://www.chablis-wines.com Location: At nearly 48˚N latitude in the northern part of the Bourgogne region in the Yonne department between Paris and Beaune, around the village of Chablis, Serein River runs through it, with vineyards on either bank Area under vine in 2020: 5,771 hectares/14,260 acres 18% of the total volume of wine produced in the Bourgogne region Also contains: St-Bris, which makes mineral driven Sauvignon Blanc   Terroir: Terroir expressed more clearly in Chablis than almost anywhere else Valleys branch from the Serein river – left and right, hills are basis of the vineyards Right-bank: softer, bigger wines Left-bank: more acidic, less ripe, more like citrus, green apple Soils: Subsoil is Kimmeridgean limestone with layers of Marl –limestone and clay turned into rock sometimes with fossils of Exogyra virgula, a small, comma-shaped oyster. Different vineyards have different proportions of limestone, marl, clay, loam, Portlandian limestone – younger, harder, no fossils. Sites with this used only forvPetit Chablis 47 Defined Climats (can be mentioned on the label) 40 are Premier Cru, 7 are Grand Cru Photo: Chablis wines Climate: Maritime and continental Maritime influence but kind of a modified oceanic climate with continental influences from Eastern Europe Less rainfall and the winters are harsher and summer hotter than maritime   Winemaking Fermented in stainless or oak, low temperature, slow fermentation followed by malolactic fermentation Neutral oak (already been used) is used in Chablis Premier Cru and Chablis Grand Cru. Very few producers use new oak barrels since the goal is to preserve terroir     Classification: Petit Chablis (19%): 729 hectares (1750 acres) ALL of Chablis wine-growing district (catchall) – AOC 1944, least prestigious – lesser rated vineyards Soil is Portlandian limestone – harder, younger soil on a plateau at the top of slopes, above premier and grand crus Flavors: citrus, flowers, less minerally, light, acidic, saline, to be consumed within 2 years Pairings (goes for Chablis and many Premier Cru too): Oysters, seafood in citrus, salads and acidic vegetables, spicy food, vegetarian pasta   Chablis (66%): 3656 hectares (9,034 acres) of vines In the department of Yonne, on the Serein River On Kimmeridgean limestone and marl, very large - quality varies Flavors: Mineral with flint, green apple, lemon, underbrush, citrus, mint, fresh-cut hay Best within 2-3 years Photo: Chablis wines Chablis Premier Cru: (14%) - Almost 809 ha/2,000 acres over 40 sites (climat) Both sides of the river Serein, with 24 on the left bank and 16 on the right bank Mostly on slopes of the Serein, southeast or southwest facing, on Kimmeridgian chalk Can just use the phrase "Chablis Premier Cru" if blended across Premier Cru sites Right bank: Softer, fuller wines--Mont de Milieu, Montée de Tonnerre, Fourchaume, Vaucoupin Left bank: Flinty, acidic. Côté de Léchet, Vaillons, Montmains, Vosgros, Vau de Vey Can age 5-10 years   Grand Cru Chablis (1%) - 101 hectares/250 acres Contiguous site on the right bank of the Serein, south facing on Kimmeridgian limestone, with fossilized oysters, marl Seven vineyards are Grand Cru, which are each part of just one appellation, Grand Cru Chablis. The difference in these wines: Better sites, lower yields, higher alcohol, higher planting density, matured until at least March 15 of the year following harvest Grand Crus: north to south Bougros: Fresh and mineral Les Preuses:: elegant, minerally with a long finish Vaudésir: Stronger, richer wine – more body Grenouilles: Fruity with strong acidity, a fuller body Valmur: VERY fruity, balanced with strong minerality Les Clos: The most famous site: elegance, minerality, fruit, acidity Blanchot: Soft and more like white flowers La Moutonne is an unofficial 8th Grand Cru Best with 10-15 years of age Pairings: Lobster, mushrooms, shrimp, cream sauces We love this wine.

In light of Becky Wasserman's passing last month, we are rereleasing this 2019 conversation Becky had with our staff writer, Bryce Wiatrak. Becky had a profound impact on the careers, palates, and personal lives of wine professionals across the globe. She will be remembered as a champion of the underdog and a pioneer who opened wine industry doors for small producers, for women, and for Burgundy. At the end of the episode, Bryce will share some thoughts about the impact Becky's friendship had on his life, including his memories of the first time they met.

The title of this Washington Football Talk says it all. JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to recap a truly wild and truly much-needed win for the Burgundy and Gold over the Giants on Thursday. JP also interviews Taylor Heinicke and Chase Young — two decent interviews there! It's too late to write a detailed summary beyond that. If you like podcasts where you get what might be the loudest WHATTUP EVERYBODY ever and there's an extended wedding metaphor that describes this game perfectly, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As the wine reviewer for Burgundy for The Wine Advocate and a small producer of Burgundy himself, William Kelley has a deep and insightful perspective on Burgundy.  We discuss how Burgundy became “without substitute” and why “all roads lead to Burgundy,” the rapid escalation of both vineyard and wine prices, and how what was once very contracting landholdings are now consolidating again.  History, economics, geology, and terroir all come together in this episode of XChateau! Detailed Show Notes: Listen to the beginning of Episode 62 for background information on WilliamBurgundy as vignerons vs Bordelais châteauxWilliam believes this is an illusion - historically, Burgundy vineyards were owned by the nobility and the churchToday - LVMH, AXA, and rich, wealthy people own many of the domaines and vineyardsBordeaux outside the Cru Classe are much more modest in natureThe French land reforms of 1792 (during the French Revolution) broke up large tracts of land -> led to a “morcellation of parcels”Led to emphasis on each small parcel of land and its impactCreated the ability to see the human element of winemaking (two people making the wine from the same vineyard) and the human impact on terroirMetayage system - born in Beaujolais, a form of “sharecropping” where people take half the fruit in exchange for farming the land, popular in Burgundy where people own small parcels of land and often don't live thereHigh death/inheritance taxes, which are assessed based on the value of the land lead to more vineyard sales and end up with more consolidation of land holdings, particularly into businesses that don't have to pay death taxesBurgundy as the top global winegrowing regionThe wines are good/high qualityThey pair well with a lot of food and are very versatile (vs. the Medoc)Are a social signifier - wine collectors can “one-up” others by mastering the complexities of Burgundy more than Bordeaux or any other regionGrand Cru vineyards are tiny and limited - sends the prices skyrocketing (e.g., Domaine d'Auvenay Aligote now sells for $2,500 / bottle)Bordeaux mismanaged the emerging market of China with the 2010 en primeur pricing, similar to what Hennessy and Cognac did in China, destroying the marketValue of Burgundy landHigh prices partially driven by tax write-offs for any losses, owners get the wine lifestyle “for free”Believes land prices and wine prices will continue to escalateDisconnection between land and wine pricesIn the 17th century, there used to be a saying that the value of a vineyard should equal 3 years of production - this is way different todayE.g., a famous Chablis producer's Les Clos magnum sells at €80 from the domaine, but $2,000 in the US -> lots of other people making money on the wine outside of the winery“No end in sight” to price increases for Burgundy, wine is still a relatively inexpensive luxury good (vs. cars, watches, etc.…)Climate changeNot as bad as some people think, bad weather events also occurred in the 19th centuryToday there are more viticultural techniques to combat climate change (e.g., canopy management, etc..)Price increases also more than offset the volume decreasesThe Micro-negociantPurchasing fruit is expensive - ~€3-5,000 per barrel for village wines, €550-600 for Chiroubles If some negociants get the attention of investors, they can acquire land and become domainesMore expensive to produce negociant wine vs. domaine wineGrowers in Burgundy take the yield risk (the classic arrangement is negociants buy the fruit by the barrel)A seller's market - need good relationships with growers, hard for outsiders to get good fruit Negociants have the ability to make lower appellations/vineyards more popular - e.g., Arnoud Ente Meursault La Seve du Clos is a lesser site, but Ente has elevated itDomaine vs. MaisonConsumers still put a lot of stock by it, but boundaries are blurringE.g., PYCM - started as negociant, rolled in family vineyards, but don't state “Domaine” anywhere, the idea being that all wines are worthy of the brandPrice should be driven by quality, not hierarchy (e.g., some Aligote more expensive than Grand Cru Puligny)Brand expansions can't be diluted because of the vineyard hierarchy - the Grand Crus are still high quality and drive brand reputationThe Future of BurgundyViticulture - would like to see every site in Burgundy farmed like a Grand Cru.  William wants to break glass ceilings in every appellationWinemaking - people extracting less and less, flirting with natural wine movement, lighter, softer styles of red Burgundy more popular, longer elevage is getting more fashionable (and is rooted in history - used to do 2-3 years elevage because it was the only way to clarify the wine)Price escalation impacts on other wine regions - “there is no substitute (for Burgundy),” people will look further afield, but “all roads lead to Burgundy”Insular nature of Burgundy changing - the new generation of owners are from New York, Macau, Shanghai, and Hong KongAdvice to the new generation of producers - taste the great wines of the world, including older benchmark winesChanging leadership of domaines - though marketed as a good thing, there's a lot of pressure for the next generation of a famous domain, and that tends towards being more conservative and listening to consultants vs. trying something newM&A - “everyone wants to buy as much land as they can”; don't see a lot of people wanting to go global, there's still ample price escalation in Burgundy

This episode should be of interest to many who are just recently getting into wine. Michael Pang is one that initially & very casually got into wine just as a beverage to drink...which shortly after transitioned into Napa Valley Cabernet's...& then because of an AHA moment while attending a group wine tasting, segued into the wines of the Old World. His growing thirst for more first hand knowledge motivated him to visit Washington state, Napa Valley, Bordeaux, Burgundy & Champagne wine areas to explore. A few years later, he accompanied my wife & me on a wine trek to the remote Mediterranean islands of Corsica & Sardegna, and the following harvest to different remote niches in northwest Italy. He says it has been an amazing journey. Tune in & listen as he talks story about his eye opening experiences.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey use this Washington Football Talk for two purposes: 1) To recap the entirety of training camp, which technically concluded on Thursday and 2) To preview the team's Saturday preseason finale vs. Baltimore. In the show, they (along with NBC's Chris Kerwin) pass along One Thing they learned over the past few weeks about the Burgundy and Gold, go through Over/Unders and 100 Chips (which leads to a deep conversation about whether 0 is an even or odd number) for the matchup with the Ravens and more. If you like podcasts where Mitch waffles over accepting a bet buyout from JP and Pete recaps a Chase Young-related scoop he got on Wednesday night, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Washington's second preseason game of the year calls for Washington Football Talk's second game preview pod of the year. To begin, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey get you up to speed on who'll be out/likely miss the team's matchup with the Bengals on Friday before going through what would constitute a successful outing for the Burgundy and Gold as well as their usual 100 Chips segment. After that, and after JP explains his daughter's remix to Rock-Paper-Scissors, the crew set their Over/Unders for the week (and add in not one but two wild card options). If you like podcasts where Mitch goes out of his way to insult a random person from his past and Pete goes out of his way to do a horrific Boston accent, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Pssstt...... the Burgundy and Gold are playing football soon, and JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to preview exactly that. To begin, the hosts each choose something they're going to be scrutinizing when Washington takes on the Patriots on Thursday night, and after realizing that they all chose an offense-related item, they then do the same but for the defense. After that, they go through a rapid fire segment where JP throws out players and the guys predict whether said player will appear for over or under 9.5 snaps in New England. After that, you'll get JP's two sitdowns with Logan Thomas and Sam Cosmi, both of which are enjoyable. If you like podcasts where you get a totally unnecessary Reuben Foster update and JP gives advice for a very certain area of life, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

After taking a one-day break (SORRY JEEZ), JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are back to give you all the updates you care about relating to the Burgundy and Gold's 2021 training camp. Among the topics they cover in this one: The team's ever-improving vaccination rate, who's injured and who's back in the lineup, where Steven Sims stands in the wideout battle, how Taylor Heinicke's coming along and the random bird that's become a big story in Ashburn. From there, you'll get JP's 1-on-1 with first-round pick Jamin Davis, who explains where he's at in his development and what it's like playing under Ron Rivera and Jack Del RIo. If you like blogs where you get the inside scoop on Mitch the Blogger and JP brings up a maddening phone call he got on his radio show, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
