Hansen, a retired Danish police officer, loaded up his basket at the supermarket, carefully checking each product to avoid buying anything made in the United States. No more Coca-Cola, no more California Zinfandel wine or almonds. On his recent shopping trip, Hansen returned home with dates from Iran. It shocked him to realize that he now perceives the United States as a greater threat than Iran. "Trump really looks like a bully who tries in every way to intimidate, threaten others to get his way," he told The Associated Press. "I will fight against that kind of thing." Hansen is just one supporter of a growing movement across Europe and Canada to boycott U.S. products. People are joining Facebook groups where they exchange ideas about how to avoid U.S. products and find alternatives. Feelings are especially strong across the Nordic region—and possibly strongest in Denmark, given Trump's threats to seize Greenland. Google Trends showed a spike in searches for the terms "Boycott USA" and "Boycott America" as Trump announced new tariffs, with the top regions including Denmark, Canada and France. At the same time, a global backlash is also building against Tesla as the brand becomes tied to Trump, with plunging sales in Europe and Canada. In Germany, police were investigating after four Teslas were set on fire. Responding to consumer demand, Denmark's largest supermarket chain, the Salling Group, created a star-shaped label this March to mark European-made goods sold in its stores. CEO Anders Hagh said it's not a boycott, but a response to consumers demanding a way to easily avoid American products. "Our stores will continue to have brands on the shelves from all over the world, and it will always be up to customers to choose. The new label is only an additional service for customers who want to buy goods with European labels," he said in a LinkedIn post. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

California Cabernet Sauvignon gets all the attention, but a good California Zinfandel is a thing of beauty! Often overlooked and definitely underrated, when done well, Zinfandel is a velvety, rich, complex, juicy, food friendly wine. All that being said, there are some California Zinfandels that give their brothers and sisters a bad name, and we want to help you find the good ones and avoid the bad ones. Zinfandel is one of the oldest wine grape varietals grown in California, and many of the old vine Zinfandels are more than 100 years old! In this episode, we put a couple of reasonably priced and easy to find California old vine Zinfandels head-to-head with a Turley wine that is also reasonably priced to see how they stack up. If you don't know Turley wine, they are definitely a winemaker that anyone who considers themselves a wine fan should seek out. Known as a cult wine, they make stunning wines that will impress you, and your friends. For a bit of a sneak peek, one of the ones we tasted compared well to the Turley, and one of them should be off of your wine list forever! Listen to our brutally honest reviews, and learn a bit more about California Zin. Wines reviewed in this episode: 2019 Turley Juvenile Zinfandel, 2021 Gnarly Head Old Vine Zin, and 2019 7 Deadly Zins Old Vine Zinfandel.Contact The Wine Pair Podcast - we'd love to hear from you!Visit our website, leave a review, and reach out to us: www.thewinepairpodcast.comFollow and DM us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewinepairpodcast/Send us an email: joe@thewinepairpodcast.com

Valravn Sonoma County Zinfandel In this episode, Rob and Scott review a relatively unknown California Zinfandel by Valravn Wines.  Is this wine one of quality that should be noticed, or should it have remained unknown? We shall see... on The Wine Vault.

For over a decade Jared Scharff was the lead guitarist for the Saturday Night Live Band, as he still was when we did this interview during the freewheeling, pre-pandemic Before Times. He has since left the show and relocated to Los Angeles to pursue a career as a songwriter, a session musician, and a solo artist, releasing music under the name Pearl Lion. The move seems to have paid off: on his own and as part of the production team Queen Sixties, Scharff has been a part of four albums that debuted at Number 1 in the past two years, by a diverse range of artists from Da Baby to Machine Gun Kelly.   Jared joined Anthony to discuss Radiohead's iconic 1997 masterpiece Ok Computer. An album of this depth, magnitude, and detail required adequate and appropriate fortification, so Anthony chose two huge names in California Zinfandel, to reflect the album's moody grace and dead-serious themes:  a 2018 Ridge East Bench Zin and a 2015 Ravenswood Big River Zin. Two expressions of the same varietal were chosen to mirror both the album's ethereal, angelic harmonies and its gloomy, deep, and dour dissection of contemporary consumer culture.   Guest: Jared Scharff Album: Radiohead, Ok Computer Wine: Ridge, East Bench Zin 2018 and Ravenswood, Big River Zin, 2015

This week Bottled Up! ran into some techincal difficulties and our incredible most award winning episode yet, was rendered unpublishable. Despite all that, we are determined not just leave our loyal listeners wanting. In place of a full length episode, here is a quick conversation about the amazing California Zinfandel we had and a few words to discuss the future. If you're not caught up, now is the perfect chance to catch up on past episodes and past drinkings, and we will see you next week for a full length episode of Bottled Up!..a wine podcast, of sorts.

Wines: Dashe Cellars Todd Brothers Ranch Old Vine Zinfandel, 2018 and Les Enfants Terrible Zinfandel, 2018Guest: Anne Dashe It's anniversary week for Wines To Find! No better way to celebrate two years of podcasting about wine than to have one of our "wish-list" wineries join us! Dashe Cellars has been on our radar after we tasted an impeccable rosé of theirs a year and a half ago. We were THRILLED when Anne Dashe, one of the owners, agreed to join us for a conversation.A winemaker in her own right and co-owner with her spouse, Mike Dashe, Anne's history and time in the wine world spans two continents and many well-known wineries. Mike and Anne met, married and established Dashe in 1996 - and have been making incredible wines together ever since.On Dashe, Robert Parker said "the prices are reasonable, the quality high and the wines are filled with personality".  We couldn't agree more - listen to hear Anne speak of their winemaking philosophy, the terroir and profile of the two wines we tasted and the wisdom they have accumulated in 26 years as a husband and wife working together in business and wine.With Anne's knowledge and ability to articulate, we totally geeked out on this one, y'all! Single vineyard wines, structure, biodynamic growing, carbonic maceration, food pairings and more make for a great wine-loving conversation!Wines To Find Podcast,  Finalist in the 12th Annual TASTE AWARDS  in  four categories. -Best Drink or Beverage Program-Best New Series-Best Single Topic Series-Best Food or Drink PodcastWe have been listed in the Top 30 wine podcasts! https://blog.feedspot.com/wine_podcasts/==============Music from https://filmmusic.io "Night In Venice" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/winestofind)

Part 3 of JAMIE'S HISTORY OF AMERICAN WINE (aka "Jimbo Jambo's Viticultural History of These Here United States") How is this bold California Zinfandel a time machine? What is the “refined technique” on display in this Oscar-nominated documentary? Will Jamie be able to convince Scott that this wine is more “mouth filling” than other wines? Is the cliche “the city is another character” just a different way of saying the movie has terroir? All that, PLUS the return of Wife Takes! Just gotta press play, yo.

This week we drink California Zinfandel! Good wine, fun stories and black chicken? Yup! Hope you enjoy and learn a little somethin.

Joel Peterson is the Founder and Winemaker of the Ravenswood Winery, and the Founder and Winemaker of Once & Future Wine, both in California. Joel describes his first moments with wine, tasting wine with his father and mother, and how that led later to his work with Joseph Swan. Joel talks at length about Swan and the early days of the Joseph Swan winery. Swan was making exemplary California Zinfandel, and Joel explains why he also chose to focus on Zinfandel at the winery he founded, Ravenswood. He recounts the humble beginnings of Ravenswood, an operation that would later become much larger after the market success that Joel found with the Ravenswood "Vintners Blend." That popular red wine was an introduction to Zinfandel as a red wine for many consumers at the time, countering the White Zinfandel trend of that moment. Joel discusses Zinfandel as a grape variety, and talks about several of the different old vine Zinfandel vineyards in California today. He also addresses the ups and downs that Zinfandel has encountered in the broader United States wine market, and its position today. Joel then shares his advice to someone starting out in the winemaking business right now.

When and why do you decant wine?A: Yes IF:  it's a young red wine that is from a moderate to warm climate that would benefit from air in order to soften the mouth feel If the wine in unfined and unfiltered, it could have sediment if the wine is old -- it depends on the type of grape: cabernet sauvignon, nebbiolo, merlot, some syrahs, etc. or a pinot that is old might throw sediment so you can decanter to remove the bitter chunks. If the wine is young and their reds do well with decanting for air, e.g. local Cornell University alumni vineyard: Turley Wines: http://www.turleywinecellars.com/  How to Serve Wine 101: Why and When to Decant https://www.winespectator.com/webfeature/show/id/how-to-serve-wine-decanting Why and When Do We Decant Wine https://vinepair.com/wine-101/wine-decanting-guide/ Length of Time to Decant, suggestions from Wine Folly: https://winefolly.com/tutorial/how-long-to-decant-wine/ Q: Can you bring your own bottle of wine to a restaurant and just pay the corkage fee? A: It depends. Some restaurants allow this, whereas it may not be legal to bring your own alcohol due to local, state, provincial or regional laws. It's always best to ask the restaurant the following questions: (1) Do they allow corkage (if you bring your own bottle)? And (2): Are there any restrictions to corkage? Some might restrict you from bringing a bottle on the restaurant's wine list. Often you can do this in a number of wine regions and areas, but it's always good to ask when in a new area.  Some food places do this to enjoy the local wine countries, for example FLX Wienery https://flxwienery.com/ is one in IthacaSome of Cheryl's Favorites:WINE: Based on her own origins and the emotional connection, she likes California Zinfandel; 2015 "three" Zinfandel Old Vines Contra Costa County http://www.threewinecompany.com/zinfandeloldvines.html CURRENT WINE IN HAND: Cotes de Provence rosé http://www.domaine-des-tournels.com/en/cotes_de_provence/vignoble/cotes-de-provence-rose MOVIES: Sideways (2004) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0375063/ Big Night (1996) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115678/ BOOKS: The Sign of the Grape and Eagle by Daniel Deckers http://www.frankfurt-academic-press.de/2018/04/18/daniel-deckers-the-sign-of-the-grape-and-eagle/Wine and War: The French, the Nazis and the Battle for France's Greatest Treasure https://www.amazon.com/Wine-War-Frances-Greatest-Treasure/dp/0767904486 Top Producers of Wine in the US: https://www.winesandvines.com/template.cfm?section=widc&widcDomain=wineries Core Winery http://www.corewine.com/ Finger Lakes Wine Country  http://www.fingerlakeswinecountry.com/ The Society of Wine Educators http://www.societyofwineeducators.org/ Interested in learning online about wine?eCornell Wine Course to be developed here soon: https://www.ecornell.com/ Is there something else you'd like to learn about wine?

On the outside, it can look like we live the perfect life and that our business boomed overnight. But hearing the process to getting there is always fascinating to me. Most of the time, it's all guts and no glory until way later down the road.  Marisa Sergi's 15's love affair with wine started in the basement of her grandparents' home with a sippy cup at age 3. In fifth grade, she went public with her dream of being a winemaker. A third-generation winemaker, she came by her career choice naturally, having grown up in the family winery business, and in 2015, she graduated from Cornell University with a degree in enology and viticulture.  Her senior-year capstone project at Cornell led to the launch of RedHead Wine, a unique blend of California Zinfandel and Chilean Carménère. Although Sergi has been working full-time on RedHead only since August 2016, it's already available at nearly 300 stores in Ohio, has a national distribution deal in the works, and scored shelf space with Walmart, Kroger, Giant Eagle and many more! Her longer-term goal is to create an iconic RedHead brand, with a broad product line. Sergi's wine is her own unique concept, and now a growing business, if you will pardon the pun.

Although Marisa's only been working full-time on RedHead since last August, it's already available at nearly 200 stores in Ohio. And she has been hard at work on a Provence-style rosé, with a profile that is fruit forward but clean, crisp and refreshing. In this episode, you will learn the importance of asking for help and feedback on your work, the value of in-person connections to grow your online business, what it means to be a woman in business, and how to master the power of unconventional thinking.

We've finally made it to the wonderful wines of Italy and on this pod cast we focus on Valpolicella wines from the hillsides and valleys of the Verona countryside.  The Valpolicella production zone is located in Veneto, one of Italy's twenty wine  growing regions.  The Veneto region is located in northeast Italy and  shares its southern border with Emilia-Romagna and Lombardia.  Its  eastern borders are the Adriatic Sea and Friuli-Venezia Guilia.  The  wine regions to the west and north are Trentino and Alto Adige.  Veneto also shares a portion of its northern border with Austria.  The Valpolicella zone lies south of the  Monte Lessini range and just north of the city of Verona ( think Romeo  and Juliet).  Verona is in the same latitudinal zone as the Willamette  Valley in Oregon and benefits from the moderating influences of Lago di Garda the largest lake in Italy and to a lesser extent the Mare  Adriatico (Adriatic Sea).Veneto is the third largest wine producing region in Italy,  surpassed by Apulia and Sicily in the south.  Other wines produced in  the Veneto region that you may recognize are Bardolino, Prosecco and  Soave. Valpolicella comes in several styles and starting from light bodied to fuller bodied the types are Valpolicella, Valpolicella Superiore, Valpolicella Ripasso, Amarone della Valpolicella and Recioto della Valpolicella.  In this cast we'll explore what each of these names means and how the wines are made.Valpolicella is made predominately from  three grape varieties, Corvina ( 40 to 70 percent ), Rondinella ( 20 to 40 percent ) and Molinar ( 5 to 25 percent ).  Barbera, Negrara,  Trentina, Rossignola and or Sangiovese up to a maximum of 15 percent can   also be used in the blend.  There's a sea of very ordinary Valpolicella that is made at cooperatives, but the better wines are usually made by smaller family owned, quality minded Fattoria ( farm/ wine estate ).   Confusingly though there are several large houses that make some of the best Valpolicellas.  As always we're searching for the best wines and  the most value for our buck and we found several great buys this time  around. The typical taste profile of basic Valpolicella is tart cranberry, red cherry fruit aromas and flavors.  The wine is  usually light to medium bodied with soft tannins, a tongue tingling  acidity and a slightly bitter finish.  We tasted eight wines, three  Valpolicellas, three Ripassos and two Amarone della Valpolicellas.  The price points ranged from twelve to sixty dollars a bottle. From a consumer standpoint, the wide varience in pricing and the  difficulty of knowing what style of wine is in the bottle, it's  understandable that one might default to wines they're more familiar  with.  In this way Valpolicella wines face the  same problem as California Zinfandel; if you don't know what the wine is   likely to taste like, how can you make an informed buying decision?In this pod cast you'll learn how to better judge what style of wine is in that bottle of Valpolicella.    You will also learn what type of foods pair best with these wonderful wines.  Most wine retailers will have several Valpolicellas for you to choose from.  A good way to find quality Valpolicella is to engage your favorite retailer by asking questions.  A smart  retailer will pick up on your interest and will go out of their way to  recommend wines that suit your taste preferences.  Of course the best  way to learn about wine is to pop some corks so let's get to it.  Open  up a Valpolicella, chop up some chunks of spicy Salami and Asiago cheese and listen up as we talk about one of Italy's most famous wines.
