Send us a textA Legacy Rooted in Wine and FamilyThe episode kicks off with lighthearted banter and a warm welcome to the first Inside the Bunghole episode of 2025, featuring Michael Keenan of Keenan Wines in Napa Valley. Michael shares the multigenerational story of his family's vineyard, which began when his father, Robert Keenan, was inspired by his father-in-law's wine collection and purchased the Spring Mountain property in 1974. At the time, Napa was far from the food and wine mecca it is today, but Robert had a vision of producing first-growth quality Cabernet Sauvignon. Spring Mountain's ideal east-facing slopes and abundant water supply made it the perfect location. Michael reminisces about the winery's origin, including its ghost winery roots (the property housed a winery from 1890–1930) and the early Bordeaux varietals they were the first to plant on that specific land.From Wandering Seeker to Reluctant WinemakerMichael's personal journey into winemaking wasn't direct. After high school, he traveled the world, became a vegetarian, and meditated in India before returning home in 1977. Initially working the harvest temporarily, he pursued a career in carpentry and general contracting for over 20 years. A family dispute later separated him from the winery, but after the death of his stepmother and reconciling with his father, Michael took over operations in 1998 with one condition: total control. Over time, he reestablished the winery's reputation, embraced a restrained, old-world style of winemaking, and distanced himself from overly ripe Napa wines, aligning more with French techniques that emphasized balance, savoriness, and complexity.Craft, Chemistry & the Keenan IdentityThe conversation shifts into the mechanics of winemaking—Michael explains his preference for mostly neutral barrels and minimal oak influence, likening barrel use to salt in cooking: essential but never overpowering. He also criticizes the use of additives like MegaPurple, which mask a wine's true characteristics and require toxic stabilizers. As the discussion continues, Michael shares stories about label design rooted in family history, his deepening pride in the winery over time, and the upcoming 50th vintage celebration. Notably, the Tribute wine—a 50/50 blend of Bordeaux clones—symbolizes both a viticultural and emotional milestone, coinciding with his father's passing and marking a profound evolution in both the vineyard and Michael's stewardship.Cheers!

Eine Cuvée, auch bekannt als „Blend”, ist ein Verschnitt aus mehreren Rebsorten, Jahrgängen oder Weinbergslagen. Dazu zählen zum Beispiel Champagner, Bordeaux-Blends oder die allseits gehypten Super-Toskaner. Aber wo kommen diese bekannten Cuvées eigentlich her? Welche Rebsorten verbergen sich dahinter? Und für welche Stile sind sie bekannt? In dieser Folge erfährst Du alles rund um die fünf weltweit berühmtesten Cuveés! Wein der Woche: Bordeaux Chateau Les Rossignols trocken AOP Eine klassische Cuvée aus Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc und Merlot. In der Nase verführt er mit Aromen von schwarzer Kirsche, Johannisbeere und saftigen Pflaumen. Die markante Tannin- und Säurestruktur macht ihn für Lou zum perfekten Begleiter für ein Entrecôte mit Bohnen im Speckmantel! Frage der Woche: Gab es beim Glykol-Skandal Todesfälle? „In der Weinwelt gab es tatsächlich mehrere große Skandale. Beim österreichischen Glykol-Skandal von 1985 wurden keine Todesfälle dokumentiert. Diethylenglycol ist zwar giftig, aber die Menge in den Weinen war nicht tödlich und der Skandal wurde entdeckt, bevor es zu ernsthaften gesundheitlichen Schäden kam. Beim Methanol-Skandal in Italien im Jahr 1986 kam es aber tatsächlich zu zahlreichen Todesfällen. Dabei hatten Produzent:innen billigen Wein mit Methanol (Methylalkohol) gestreckt, was zu schweren Vergiftungen führte. Mindestens 23 Menschen starben, und viele weitere erlitten dauerhafte Schäden wie Erblindung oder neurologische Probleme.” – Lou Genau das Richtige für Deine Weinprobe und zum Üben von Verkostungen: Das Cheers!

Send us a textEver wondered if you could find a legitimate Napa Valley wine for $20? The Trader Joe's Diamond Reserve Rutherford Meritage 2022 might just be that unicorn. This isn't your typical grocery store wine – it's a serious Bordeaux-style blend from one of Napa's most prestigious growing regions.The Rutherford AVA sits in the widest part of Napa Valley, benefiting from abundant sunshine and dramatic temperature shifts (90°F days to 50°F nights) that create perfect conditions for developing complex flavors. This particular Meritage combines all five classic Bordeaux varieties – predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon (68%), supported by Merlot, Petit Verdot, the rarely-seen Malbec, and Cabernet Franc. What makes this especially intriguing is that it's crafted by a company owned by a Master Sommelier, bringing expert blending skills to an accessible price point.Don't let the modest price tag fool you – this wine received premium treatment with 20 months aging in French oak (30% new barrels), a regimen typically reserved for much more expensive bottles. The result is a fruit-forward yet balanced wine offering layers of blackberry, blueberry, pomegranate and plum, complemented by savory notes and subtle spices. At 15.3% alcohol, it delivers impressive structure without veering into sweetness. Current challenges in California's wine industry likely explain how such quality has found its way to Trader Joe's shelves at this price.Whether you're a curious wine explorer or a seasoned Napa enthusiast looking for a weeknight bargain, this Diamond Reserve deserves a spot in your glass. Try it alongside your next special meal and see if you agree it drinks like a wine at twice the price. Then let us know what you think – have you found other hidden gems in Trader Joe's wine section?Check us out at www.cheapwinefinder.comor email us at podcast@cheapwinefinder.com

This show is brought to you in association with iDealwine. In fiction, Shangri-La was a mythical place of boundless human wisdom and agelessness. These days, after China re-named a city in north-west Yunnan Province, it's the backdrop of a potential game-changer for Chinese wine.This particular backdrop is forbidding. Think: precipitous mountain gorges above the raging Mekong River at nearly 3,000 metres altitude. A patchwork of small-holding vineyards cling to the hillsides. Prunings are fed to yaks. Tea, tobacco and mushrooms are Yunnan's historic crops. No wonder the wine potential in the Meili Mountain region long remained hidden.That is, until a particularly stubborn and resilient Australian winemaker, Tony Jordan, embarked on an arduous search on behalf of global luxury group LVMH to unearth a Chinese Grand Cru terroir. He found Shangri-La. But would his bet pay off?In this episode we discover the intriguing story of Ao Yun - how (on earth) it came to be, just how challenging this operation is to run, and most importantly - what's the wine actually like? At nearly £300 a bottle, it has a lot to live up to. We talk to winemaker Maxence Dulou, Chinese wine expert Janet Wang and Berry Brothers & Rudd Asia buyer Tom Baxter. We also deliver our verdict on the wine whose name means, 'soaring above the clouds'.Thanks for tuning in. We love to hear from you so please do get in touch! Send us a voice message via Speakpipe.

In this episode of Five Questions, we sit down with Marc Hochar of Château Musar, Lebanon's most iconic winery. He shares the story behind their high-altitude vineyards in the Bekaa Valley, the use of both indigenous and French varieties like Obaideh, Merwah, Cinsaut, and Cabernet Sauvignon, and why their wines are built to evolve over decades. We also explore the philosophy behind Musar's age-worthy reds, and the importance of time in unlocking their character.Marc reflects on standout vintages such as 1998 and 1983, what inspires him outside Lebanon, and the emotional connection that shapes how he experiences wine. He also looks ahead to the next generation of the Hochar family, as they prepare to carry on the estate's singular legacy.Episode Highlights:• Château Musar's high-altitude vineyards in the Bekaa Valley• French and indigenous grapes: Cinsaut, Cabernet Sauvignon, Obaideh, Merwah• How time and evolution define Musar's wines• Why 1998 and 1983 are standout vintages• The future of Musar under the next Hochar generation

Located the middle of the Médoc, 50 km/31 miles northwest of Bordeaux, Pauillac is home to 18 of the 61 châteaux classified 1855, just under a third of the list. There are three first growths, two second growths, one fourth growth, and twelve 5th growths. The first growths are Château Latour, Château Lafite-Rothschild, and Château Mouton-Rothschild.     Pauillac is north of St-Julien and south of St-Estèphe with the manmade Landes Forest to the west, sheltering the vines from Atlantic winds. The commune has 1,213 ha/3,000 acres of vines (7.5% of the Medoc) and makes about 7 million bottles a year. The AOC Pauillac is only for still red wines, famous for their balance of power and elegance that is rare in Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot blends. These wines have strong aromas and flavors but with great acidity and tannin – the best are not overripe or overly tannic  -- and are balanced.   In this show, I cover everything about Pauillac -- history, terroir, climate, sustainability, and then the top Châteaux. I break it down by terroir, location, and some details on top chateaux and then tell you to save your pennies to get these wines!   Here is a link to the 1855 Classification   ___________________________________________________________ Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon. Become a member today! www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople _______________________________________________________________   Check out my exclusive sponsor, Wine Access.  They have an amazing selection -- once you get hooked on their wines, they will be your go-to!

Margaret River is only one of the nine regions in Western Australia but is the most popular and most famous of the regions. Margaret River is also somewhat unique in that it is a peninsula bordered on three sides by the ocean. The area has a temperate maritime climate because of the ocean's proximity. Western Australia accounts for only 5% of Australia's wine production, but accounts for 30% of its award-winning wine. Western Australia is the second-oldest wine region in Australia. However, most of the wine was coming from Swan Valley which is located just north of Perth, and is one of the warmest wine regions in the world (warmest region in Australia). Swan Valley was responsible for 90% of Western Australia's wine in 1970, 59% by 1980, and 15%. The percentage of wine production from Swan Valley is still declining.Margaret River is known mostly for its Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chenin Blanc. Other wines from Western Australia include Shiraz and Riesling from the Great Southern and Frankland River GI's. Tonight, we are enjoying two white wines including:2021 Howard Park Margaret River Miamup Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine was purchased from Wine Styles for $23.75, but I saw it online for upper teens. It received a 92 rating from the Wine Enthusiast. It has aromas of dark cherries, dried mint and tobacco; with textured tannins and nice acidity. At the tasting the flavor got slightly lost in its power but should improve in next couple of years. Decanter gave the wine a 91 and says. Smells of cassis and dried herbs, supple tannins and ripe fruit. Aged 18 months in oak. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Drinking window 2023-2026. Fermented in stainless steel tanks then stored in Barriques and Barrels 20% new and 80% used French for 18 months. 5.7 g/L acidity - 3.54 pH - 0.5 g/L RS - 14.5% alcohol. 2019 Joel Gott 815 Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine was purchased from Costco for $12.49, but I saw that it typically sells closer to $16.00. James Suckling gave this wine a 90 rating, and says aromas of blackcurrants, blackberries, dark cherries, olives, licorice and dried thyme. Medium body with fine tannins. Juicy and savory. Wine Folley - Nose of black cherries and blackberries with notes of clove and brown sugar. Tastes of dark fruit, velvety tannins, vanilla on the long finish. The wine was aged in oak for 18 months in 25% new american oak. Fermented and aged by lots. Lots are blended after aging. This drinks through 2025 so should look for newer vintages. 5.8 g/L TA - 3.74 pH - 1.5 g/L RS - 13.9% alcohol.These wines were similar, but with subtle differences that expressed the two regions. The Napa wine being more fruit forward and having a great deal of vanilla from the American Oak. The Margaret River was brighter, a little toward the red fruit, with more earthiness. Denise loved both wines and gave them both a 4. I also liked both wines, but felt the Joel Gott 815 was a little too much fruit and vanilla. I found the Margaret River wine to be a little more balanced. I gave the Napa a 3 and the Margaret River a 4. It really depends on the type of wine you prefer. Enjoy!Next week we will have a hybrid spotlight, and feature the white wine Vignoles.

Torrontes is an aromatic dry white wine that originated in Argentina. It pairs well with spicy foods due to its acidity and sweet floral aromas. It has aromas of honeysuckle, orange blossom, lavender, geranium, and rose petals. Torrontes from the Salta wine region of Argentina is often considered the best because of the high elevations of the vineyards. Many are over 3,000 meters (9,840 feet). The wine is said to be similar to Muscat Blanc or Riesling.Torrontes is known as the white wine of ArgentinaTonight, we are tasting: 2022 Bodegas Bianchi Torrontes Elsa. This wine was purchased for around $12.99. The wine comes from Mendoza, Argentina. The wine is light yellow in color. It has aromas of grapefruit, orange blossom, and apple. Other's say honeysuckle, orange blossoms, lavender, geranium, and rose petals. This wine is very floral. It is not what Denise or I typically drink and is not the wine that we seek out. However, I loved the aroma but found the flavor a little weak. Denise gave the wine a 2 and I rated it a 3. I am actually interested in tasting a Torrontes from the Salta region of Argentina.Next week we will taste two Cabernet Sauvignons, one being from Western Australia. We will learn about Western Australia and compare a wine from the region with another Cabernet Sauvignon.

This week I go in depth on one of the best value regions of Portugal -- Alentejo. These wines are mainly blends and they are as easy on the palate as they are on the wallet -- a perfect combo!  Photo: Vineyards in Alentejo outside of Évora. Credit: WFNP   Located in southern Portugal, a two hour drive east of Lisbon, Alentejo is huge -- representing almost one-third of the Iberian nation. Although in the past the region was known only as the breadbasket of Portugal and as the world's largest supplier of cork (nearly half of the world's  corks come from Alentejo's cork trees), today the region is experiencing a wine renaissance. After a rocky history, Alentejo has grown and its reputation has expanded with it.    Known for fruity, lush and plush red blends (about 75% of the wine) of grapes like Alicante Bouschet, Aragonez (Tempranillo), Trincadeira, Alfrochero, and Castelão, there are some higher end versions that sometimes contain Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot or Syrah as well. The whites are in the minority and are fruity, soft, yet balanced blends as well. The tropical, tangerine noted and soft Antão Vaz is Alentejo's most important white with Arinto used for acidity, Fernão Pires for aroma and soft textures and Roupeiro for aroma as well.  Map: Rota dos Vinhos, from the Wines of Alentejo   This show covers all the bases on this fascinating region -- from its turbulent history to the climate, terroir, and the many DOPs that each have a distinct identiy.    Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon. Join the community today! www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople _______________________________________________________________   This show is brought to you by my exclusive sponsor, Wine Access – THE place to discover your next favorite bottle.

Deron Patrick Scarabin covers the elaborate 2025 Mother's Day meal prepared for our mom, his wife Pam, and family, with help from his daughter, Madi. The discussion details the multi-course menu, cooking techniques, and logistics, highlighting Deron's passion for cooking as a hobby.Sautéed Shrimp with Garlic Cream Sauce: Fresh Louisiana Gulf shrimp sautéed in butter, served with a creamy sauce made from shallots, garlic, white wine reduction, heavy cream, and thickened with dry roux. Inspired by a restaurant sauce, tweaked after testing.Fried Cabbage Patties with Blue Crab Topping: Cabbage boiled, mixed with grated carrots, shallots, garlic, tomato pesto, breadcrumbs, egg, and flour, formed into patties, frozen, and pan-fried. Topped with a lump blue crab mixture with bell peppers, tomato pesto, and parsley.Asparagus: Parboiled, ice-bathed for vibrant color, tossed with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper, then broiled briefly.Boudin Rice: Smoked boudin (Cajun sausage and rice) sautéed, mixed with rice browned in butter and cooked in chicken stock, inspired by a local restaurant.Sweet Potato Mash: Cubed sweet potatoes roasted, deep-fried, mixed with bacon, shallots, corn, and cousin Craig and Desi's Vermont maple syrup, adapted from a creamed recipe.Filet Mignon with Lobster Tail and Blueberry Red Wine Glaze: Small filets pan-seared in clarified butter, finished in the oven, topped with butter-sautéed lobster tail. Glaze made from shallots, reduced Cabernet Sauvignon, mashed blueberries, beef stock, butter, and cornstarch slurry, prepared a week prior.Melting Lava Cake: Chocolate (60% bittersweet) and butter melted, mixed with eggs, sugar, orange zest, and flour, baked at 500°F for a short time to keep the center gooey. Served with ice cream and orange zest garnish, prepared the day before in large ramekins, affecting presentation but not taste.Preparation: Deron planned for weeks, prepping components (patties, glaze, dessert) days or a week in advance. Mise en place (pre-chopping ingredients) was critical for efficiency.Logistics: With Madi's help, Deron managed a restaurant-style service, serving appetizers sequentially and keeping dishes warm in a low oven. One pan was reused and washed six times.Tips:Use fresh, quality ingredients (e.g., Gulf shrimp, lump crab).Shallots preferred over onions for faster caramelization; clarified butter for high-heat cooking without burning.Ice bath for vegetables to stop cooking and retain color; reduce wine by half for sauces.Precise baking measurements for desserts, unlike stovetop flexibility.Personal Touch: Deron adapted recipes (e.g., cubed vs. creamed sweet potatoes, maple syrup addition), emphasizing creativity and family preferences (e.g., no cheese for Pam).Challenges: Large ramekins caused lava cake to collapse; crab egg rolls lacked texture in past attempts.Future Plans: Deron plans a less elaborate menu with chicken avocado egg rolls, Eggplant Pontchartrain, and Bananas Foster (a New Orleans dessert with butter, brown sugar, bananas, and optional flambé).Sentiment: Deron and Madi had a blast cooking together, treating the meal as a fun, rewarding project. The family enjoyed the food, with honest feedback encouraged to refine future dishes. Deron sees cooking as a joyful hobby, akin to a “double dip” of pleasing others and himself.

In this episode of the podcast, hosts Angus O'Loughlin and Master Sommelier Carlos Santos are here to demystify the impact of wine bottle sizes—particularly the demi bottle (375ml) versus the standard bottle (750ml)—on the aging process, wine quality, and flavour profile. They conduct a blind tasting of the 2005 Lake's Folly Cabernet Sauvignon, uncovering how smaller bottles age differently and why larger bottles may enhance longevity. Carlos also shares practical insights for wine tasting, restaurant selections, and solo drinking. Plus, stay tuned for an important announcement about the show’s new release schedule.

The aging process is faster in smaller bottles due to greater oxygen exposure. Larger bottles, like magnums, promote slower aging. Screw caps offer more consistent aging than traditional corks. Blind tastings help isolate the effects of bottle size on Cabernet taste. Storage conditions are crucial for maintaining wine quality. The 2005 Lake's Folly Cabernet demonstrates how bottle size alters flavour over time. Consider food pairings when selecting wine and bottle size. The podcast now drops fresh episodes every Thursday.

If you like culinary or wine travel, you need to put the Chilean Winelands on your travel bucket list. Tamara just came back from a two-week trip to Chile including the Atacama Desert and the Winelands. Episode Highlights: The wine regions are south and west of Santiago It is easy to drive through these regions but it is still recommended to get a driver for days when you are doing wine tasting Two hours south of Santiago is the Colchagua Region that is known for its red wine including Malbec, Bordeaux blends, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Carmenere. One hour west of Santiago is the Casablanca Region, which is closer to the coast, and is more known for its white wines like Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. She stayed at the Vibo Wine Lodge in Colchagua. This is a small boutique property on the Viu Manent Vineyards near Santa Cruz. It has individual lofts or tiny homes spread out throughout the vineyards. Another popular place to stay in this region is Clos Apalta, which is a Relais & Chateaux luxury property. Vibo Wine Lodge includes breakfast in the coffee shop on property and they also have two other restaurants, the Rayuela Restaurant and the Vibo Wine and Food Studio. On property you can hike, borrow bikes, enjoy the pool, go wine tasting or set up horseback riding. They also did a wine tour with Colchagua Wine Tours, which was only $125 for a day with a private driver (you pay for the tasting separately.) Tamara enjoyed wine tasting at Montgras Winery and Maquis Winery. They had a nice lunch at Fuego Apalta on the Montes Winery (but she didn't like the wine at Montes.) Tastings of the "icon" wines, which are the top wines, are about $40-50 per person. Clos Apalta Residence is also an excellent place to go for lunch or dinner and you can go wine tasting at the winery. In Casablance, they stayed at La Casona, which is a hacienda which has been converted to a hotel on the grounds of the Matetic Vineyards. This was all-inclusive because there isn't a lot nearby to eat. But the menu doesn't change so it gets repetitive if you are there for any length of time. The package also includes excursions and they did a biodynamic wine tour and tasting, mountain biking, and hiking. They also offer horseback riding and excursions to towns. They took a day trip to the coast and visited Pablo Neruda's house. Related Episodes: Chile's Atacama Desert Wine tasting in Northern Italy

Acclaimed photographer, Silvia Imparato, enjoyed drinking fine wines with friends in Rome. But she returned to her family's country home near Salerno to make wines herself, enlisting the help of acclaimed wine consultant, Ricardo Cotarella. In 1991 Silvia introduced her first vintage of Montevetrano to rave reviews. Accolades continued with each new vintage. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Aglianico, Montevetrano has been named one of Campania's- and the world's -finest wines.The Connected Table is broadcast live Wednesdays at 2PM ET and Music on W4CY Radio (www.w4cy.com) part of Talk 4 Radio (www.talk4radio.com) on the Talk 4 Media Network (www.talk4media.com).  The Connected Table Podcast is also available on Talk 4 Media (www.talk4media.com), Talk 4 Podcasting (www.talk4podcasting.com), iHeartRadio, Amazon Music, Pandora, Spotify, Audible, and over 100 other podcast outlets.

Welcome back, wine friends! In Part 2 of our journey through Chile's Maule Valley, we're staying put in the rugged, dry-farmed interior to uncover even more of its rich viticultural story. Returning guest Derek Mossman Knapp—co-founder of Garage Wine Co. and 2024 Old Vine Hero award winner—joins us again to spotlight Carignan (or “Cariñena”), a grape once overlooked in Chile that's now at the heart of a heritage-driven revival. In this episode, we dive into VIGNO, the groundbreaking collective Derek helped found, uniting passionate producers committed to old vine, dry-farmed Carignan. We explore how this movement is preserving tradition, terroir, and time through strict practices and deep respect for the land—and how it's putting some of Chile's most soulful wines on the global map. It's a rich, thoughtful conversation about legacy, collaboration, and the power of working with nature, not against it.   If you want to skip ahead: 02.40: Discussion of Carignan (Cariñena) and its role in the blend   04.27: Talking about and tasting the Cru Truquilemu 2019 -  Vin Coqnito £58 (2018) 06.00: Vineyards' inheritance history helps trace vineyard origins   07.30: Small batch fermentation methods and neutral barrels    09.30: The value of separating lots and testing over vintages   11.00: Growing interest in Cru wine due to critical acclaim      14.25: Discussion of the Empedrado DO; coastal freshness   16.01: Clarifying Maule's geography; part of Southern Chile   16.48: Climate differences in Maule vs. Santiago (seasonal shifts)    18.00: Alcohol and balance - challenging the UK's fixation on lower ABV and bottle weight   19.00: Regenerative viticulture - using compost teas, no-till methods, and soil health trials   21.00: Myth of poor soils - overstressed vineyards are being replanted before reaching full maturity   23.30: Vineyard revival - greener canopies, improved shading, and resistance to heat   24.07: Certification challenges - paperwork burden limits organic certification for small producers   25.00: Verification vs. certification; Allan Savory's philosophy on soil testing and real change   28.44: Is Carignan a “complete grape”, like Cabernet Sauvignon?

Florence Cathiard, fille de profs, qui a connu son mari Daniel lorsque tous deux étaient en équipe de France de Ski dans les années 60, a un parcours fascinant : après savoir racheté avec son mari la chaîne de magasin Go Sport en 1983, qui sera revendue en 1990 au groupe Casino, elle lance son agence de communication qui sera acquise par le groupe américain Mc Cann.Ayant été initiés au Cabernet Sauvignon lorsqu'ils étaient athlètes de haut niveau, c'est tout naturellement sur les Bordeaux de la rive Gauche que les Cathiard jettent leur dévolu en rachetant à des négociants en décembre 1990 le domaine Smith Haut Lafitte, Grand Cru classé de Graves en appellation Pessac-Léognan. Guerre du Golfe, gel, pluie...les débuts sont difficiles mais après avoir restructuré le domaine, introduit la biodynamie et bénéficié d'un premier bon millésime en 1995, Florence et Daniel Cathiard vont propulser en une trentaine d'années château Smith Haut-Lafitte parmi les crus les plus prestigieux de Bordeaux.J'ai eu le plaisir de la rencontrer

I just read an article in Wine Enthusiast that Riesling is one of the fastest-growing wine varieties on the market. According to the article, people are looking for crisp-bright wines; of course, Riesling fits that bill. Our first wine says it pairs well with chicken, fish, and spicy cuisines. Nero D'Avola is known for its dark fruit-driven flavors, full-bodied, and medium to medium-high tannins. In addition to the dark fruit, may get flavors of licorice, tobacco, and pepper.Meritage is a wine blended with the Bordeaux grape varieties, typically from outside of Bordeaux. The five Bordeaux grapes are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petite Verdot. Pronounced like “heritage”. Tonight, we try these three wines from Trader Joe's.2023 Emma Reichart Dry Riesling, purchased for $5.99. Aromas of apricot, honeysuckle, citrus, minerality, and green apple. This wine comes from Germany with 11.5% alcohol.2022 Epicuro Nero D'Avola is from Sicilia DOP. Trader Joe's had this wine for $5.99. Fermented and aged in stainless steel. It has 13.7 g/L of residual sugar making this an off-dry wine. Reverse Wine Snob says aromas of red berry and cherry cough drop fruit, with touches of licorice and spice. Less complex but still a very affordable example of Nero d'Avola. It has 12.5% alcohol.2022 Roustabout Meritage from Paso Robles, California. Purchased for $7.99. Aromas of dark fruit with cola, tobacco, and pepper. Many reviews mention a jammy or over ripe fruit taste. 13.6% alcohol. This wine has 44% Merlot, 39% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Malbec and 2% Cabernet Franc. Next week we are learning more about blind tasting. We are also going to reminisce about the 70's.

Argiano is one of the main and most established wineries in the Montalcino area and Tuscany. Famous for its excellent Brunello di Montalcino, Argiano is also the producer of one of the greatest Super Tuscans in history, created for the first time with the 1995 vintage thanks to the vision and the amazing genius of Giacomo Tachis, the greatest Italian winemaker and father of the wine renaissance in the country. Solengo 2021 - still produced today with the composition conceived by the great Piedmontese winemaker - conquers DiWineTaste Five Diamonds and the title of best wine of March 2025.

Hello wine friends, and welcome back to another episode! Today, we're taking a journey to Chile — but not just any part of it — to the Maule Valley's Secano Interior, a region that feels like a living history book. Here, it's less about polished, commercial wines and more about soulful, authentic expressions. There's a strong movement to preserve heritage grape varieties and protect ancient vines, and I'm thrilled to be joined by someone who knows this better than anyone: Derek Mossman Knapp of Garage Wine Co. Derek was recently honored with the prestigious Old Vine Hero Special Award for Overall Impact in 2024, recognizing his incredible contributions to old vine preservation, viticulture, and winemaking. As a founding member of VIGNO (Vignadores de Carignan) and MOVI (Movimiento de Viñateros Independientes), Derek is deeply committed to tradition, terroir, and artisanal winemaking. In this episode, we dive into the fascinating story of País — the very first grape to arrive in Chile in the 1500s — and explore what makes the Maule Valley such a special and historic place for wine. If you want to skip ahead:   02.30: How Toronto native Derek Mossman Knapp ended up in Chile. 03.30: From hobby winemaker to starting an export wine business. 05.00: Partnering with small growers to make authentic wines. 08.00: Coastal Range terroir: granite soils and old vines. 10.00: Preserving rural food traditions like wheat milling. 11.30: Maule's slower lifestyle rooted in agriculture. 12.00: Derek wins Old Vine Hero award. 14.00: Building a community around old vine viticulture. 15.00: Honoring Spanish heritage with grape naming. 16.30: Reviving País as Chile's historic grape. 19.10: Tasting and discussing the Garage Wine Co.

Send us a textHave you ever discovered a $10 wine that drinks like it should cost twice as much? The Federalist Lodi Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 is exactly that kind of delightful surprise – a summer-ready red that delivers serious bang for your buck without compromising on flavor or character.This affordable gem comes from Terlato Wines, the same company that revolutionized American wine drinking by introducing Pinot Grigio to our shores fifty years ago. Their experience shines through in this Lodi Cabernet, which offers a beautifully balanced profile featuring blackberry, raspberry, and plum notes complemented by hints of black licorice, toasty vanilla, and mocha. The wine benefits from 15 months in oak barrels (35% new), creating just enough complexity without overwhelming the fruit-forward character that makes it so approachable.What makes this wine special is partly its terroir. Lodi sits in California's Central Valley where dramatic temperature swings – sometimes 50 degrees between scorching days and cool nights – create ideal conditions for developing full flavors while maintaining crucial acidity. These unique growing conditions, combined with thoughtful blending (93% Cabernet Sauvignon with touches of Zinfandel and Petit Syrah), result in a crowd-pleasing wine that's perfect for casual occasions. With its smooth texture, good weight, and inviting acidity, it pairs beautifully with everything from burgers to tacos. For under $10, you'd be hard-pressed to find a more satisfying everyday Cabernet that demonstrates why exploring beyond premium wine regions can yield such rewarding discoveries. Try it at your next gathering and watch how quickly the bottle disappears!Check us out at www.cheapwinefinder.comor email us at podcast@cheapwinefinder.com

Join wine educator David Reuss, Adv. Somm as he interviews winemaker Ben Salazar on all things Bootleg Paso Robles.

Viognier is a full-bodied white wine. Primary flavors of tangerine, peach, mango, honeysuckle, and rose. Cooler climate styles have greater citrus and floral traits with more acid and crispness. These wines are typically aged in stainless steel. Warmer climate Viognier is barrel aged, goes through malolactic fermentation, and therefore has richer tastes such as apricot, rose, and vanilla. These wines have less acidity and more creaminess. Viognier has become more popular in recent years with more plantings in California. Languedoc in the South of France is located south of the Rhone Valley and stretches to the Mediterranean Sea. It is west of Provence and the French Riviera along the Mediterranean and extends west into the Pyrenees Mountains. Tonight, we try these three wines from Trader Joe's. 2023 Honey Moon Viognier, purchased for $5.99. Aromas of peach, apricot, and honeysuckle. Flavors of honey, mango, and nectar. Floral scents, lush, full-bodied. This wine comes from California. 13.5% alcohol. Pairs with many cheeses, fish, white meats, and spicy foods. Hard to find much information, but two websites said it does not have residual sugar, even though it has a sweet taste. Many reviews also said it is a great summer sipper all by itself. Both of us scored this wine a 2 out of 5. 2024 Carayon La Rose is from the Languedoc in the South of France. Trader Joe's had this wine for $6.99. It has strawberry and fruit aromas and tastes. It is crisp yet ripe. It has 12.5% alcohol. Denise scored a 2. Dennis scored a 2023 Rain Cloud red blend from Napa, California. Purchased for $6.99. Aromas of blackberry, cherry, and currant, with hints of vanilla and spice. Many reviews mention a jammy taste. 14.5% alcohol. According to the Blonde Voyage Nashville, this wine is made with 50% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 20% Petite Syrah. Denise scored a 3 and Dennis scored a 2.Next week we will continue our tasting of Trader Joe's wines.

Exploring the Elegance of Grand Cru Saint-Émilion – A Deep Dive into Right Bank Bordeaux Wines In this episode, we uncork the world of Bordeaux wines, diving deep into the prestigious Grand Cru Saint-Émilion and the acclaimed Château Figeac. Join us as we explore the right bank of Bordeaux—its terroir, centuries-old wine history, and how it compares to the left bank. With expert tasting notes, food pairing tips, and insights from a Master Sommelier, we examine the nuances of wine characteristics and the complexities of wine pricing in both auction and restaurant settings.

The right bank of Bordeaux is home to smaller, artisan producers. Saint-Émilion boasts over 2,000 years of continuous winemaking history. Figeac's gravel-rich terroir makes it ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2011 vintage of Château Figeac is underrated and offers excellent value. There are notable style differences between wines from the right bank and left bank. Proper food pairings can significantly elevate the wine tasting experience. Blind tasting reveals the challenge of distinguishing right vs left bank Bordeaux. Wine pricing fluctuates widely between auctions, restaurants, and retail. The elegance and complexity of Bordeaux wines shine best when enjoyed in a dining setting.

I had never done a ten-year vertical wine-tasting and didn't know what to expect. A vertical tasting is done with the same wine variety from the same winery and maybe even from the same vineyards, but for different years.However, if you get the chance, take it. I was very impressed. You can taste how the wine changes over time, and with information regarding the growing conditions for each year, you can also taste how the weather affects the wine.Stone Hill Winery in Hermann, Missouri, is one of the best in the state. Norton is the Missouri State Grape. Norton is also called Cynthiana which is the State Grape in Arkansas.Because of its acid and tannins, Norton wine can age well. It is known for its flavors of plum, tart cherries, blackberries, and earthiness and spice.Tonight, we talk about the Ten-Year Norton Vertical Wine Tasting that we did at Stone Hill Winery. Next week we are hunting for a great Trader Joe's wine. We will try to describe the three wines we taste and help you decide which wine you need to try next. We will be tasting: 2023 Emma Reichart Dry Riesling, purchased for $5.99. Aromas of apricot and grapefruit. It is crisp and dry with notes of mineral, almonds, and herbs. This wine comes from Germany. 11.5% alcohol. 2022 Roustabout Meritage from Paso Robles. Trader Joe's had this wine for $7.99.

In the year 2000, Lenny Recanati decided to start a winery, which is not a small decision. Born out of a love of wine, Lenny rightly says that when you're not making money, it's a hobby, and when you're making money, it's a business. Today, his winery is recognized as one of the best in Israel.

This is our first ever head-to-head battle between Trader Joe's and Costco wines, and what a doozy it was. A true battle of equals - the same year, same price, same varietal, same region, same specific area, and same top tier of each retailers' private label wines. Plus, these wines are from Oakville in Napa - one of the most revered wine growing areas in America. And our verdict? Well, we're not going to give it away here, but let's just say the final winner came down to the final bell. A TKO rather than a true knockout. Both Costco and Trader Joe's have an exclusive tier of their private label wines - Diamond Reserve for Trader Joe's, Signature Series for Costco - and they both charge a premium for them, but the real question comes down to this - is the higher price worth it? We also dig into how these wines are made, and by whom, so you can get a sense of whether or not you want to seek them out. Let's get ready to rumble!

Ridge is an iconic wine producer - not just in its homeland California, but in global terms too.But how and why did it attain this status in just 70 years? Is it really true their policy has been never to hire a trained winemaker? What is this 'pre-industrial winemaking' they champion? How have they managed to successfully buck the trend for opulence in California Cabernet? Which of their wines (whisper it) don't we like? And can you really be great at both Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel, two grapes seemingly at opposite ends of the red wine spectrum?Answers to all these questions and more feature in this treat of a show to mark Wine Blast's fifth birthday (yay!) We hear fascinating insights and stories from Ridge Chairman Paul Draper as well as head winemaker John Olney before diving into Ridge's wines, including a vertical tasting of Lytton Springs Zinfandel back to 1976. (A Monte Bello Cab from 1977 pops up too...)These are wines that make you smile - then make you think. We hope Wine Blast performs a similar kind of magic! Thanks for tuning in.

The Cathiards initially dabbled in supermarkets and sports goods shops, including opening four large shops in California named "Gauche Port." Florence was involved with Rossignol Skis in Japan and ended up starting her own advertising agency, eventually joining McCann Erickson as a vice president. The Cathiards had a romantic notion to set up a small business without unions, leading them to buy and revive the derelict Smith Haut Lafitte vineyard in Bordeaux.

Château Talbot is a 4th Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Julien in the Médoc of Left Bank of Bordeaux. It's an historic and large property – its vineyards extend over 110 hectares/272 acres in a single block. The story of Talbot is a long and interesting one, but the chapter being written by the current family and management of the Château may be the best yet. With extreme dedication to quality, an eye towards the environment and careful winemaking, Talbot has a focus on making unbelievable wine that overdelivers for the price, vintage after vintage.   In this show, General Manager of Château Talbot, Jean-Michel Laporte, joins to discuss Saint-Julien and Talbot. Photo: Jean-Michel Laporte. From  Château Talbot.    We discuss: Saint-Julien and it's terroir. We talk about how it stacks up to the other communes on the Left Bank and even discuss comparisons with the Right Bank, where Jean-Michel got his start The history and terroir of Talbot. The château is hundreds of years old, but got it's name from an English general who won Bordeaux back from the French in the 1400s! Photo: The Chai of Château Talbot. From the Château site.    Winemaking, aging, their amazing chai (barrel room, pic above), spectacular vintages and how long to hold both the Grand Vin -- Chateau Talbot and the second wine, Connetable de Talbot. We also discuss Caillou Blanc, their fascinating white wine! Château Talbot makes excellent wines. They are around US $70 and although that will set you back, it is so high quality and over delivers for the price. If you have some extra money at some point, and want to invest in a wine to age,  this is one to seek. I love the floral and dark fruit aromatics, the complexity, the medieval church notes, the earth, and the perfect tannin and acidity.  Saint-Julien is indeed, incredibly balanced, and Château Talbot is a great example of the AOC. ________________________________________________________________________ Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon. Become a member today! www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople _______________________________________________________________   Check out my exclusive sponsor, Wine Access.  They have an amazing selection -- once you get hooked on their wines, they will be your go-to!

Napa Valley is unquestionably one of the great wine regions of the world. Located about 50 mi/80 km north of San Francisco, Napa is renowned for its decadent Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay and its glamourous, fancy and expensive tasting rooms. Napa only represents 4% of California's wine grape harvest, but it holds the highest reputation among all US regions.   But the region isn't all show – it has excellent terroir to make world class wines. Photo: Napa Valley Vineyard. Source: Pixabay Napa Valley stretches southeast to northwest for approximately 35 miles (60 km) from just north of the San Pablo Bay to the northern reaches of Calistoga. Nestled between the Vaca and Mayacamas mountain ranges, the Valley is about 4 miles wide at its widest point. It contains half the soil types in the world and its mountains, benchlands, and valleys have so much diversity that each wine made here reflects a different character.   In this show I go over the history, the geology and terroir, the main grapes and wine styles, and then I go into detail on the 16 American Viticultural Areas in Napa and what to expect from each.     This is a comprehensive look at this great wine region of the world that made the reputation of American wine as we know it today.     Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon. Become a member today! www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople _______________________________________________________________   Check out my exclusive sponsor, Wine Access.  They have an amazing selection -- once you get hooked on their wines, they will be your go-to!
