This is the weekly columnThere is panic and turmoil in high dollar wines you and I do not buy.This is not about big dollar wines we could buy—Caymus, Jordan, Daou. You can purchase them at higher-end grocery stores. The turmoil is with wines you only can buy from an allocation list or very high-end wine stores. Covid and an influx of wines competing at pompous price points upended everything.A lot goes into wines in that rarified price category. Millions invested—in Napa vineyards, in famous winemakers, in famous architects for the winery and tasting rooms. All goes into the bottle price.And then there is trophy wine branding. People buy such wines not just for silky tannins and layers of bing cherry, ripe raspberry, and blackcurrant backbone. People buy so they can say to themselves, and especially to others, they can buy the wine.When a winery decides to play in that bedazzling arena, it must protect its brand. And that is when flop sweat starts dripping. Recent years have not been kind. Demand down. People pinching purses purchase product from lower shelves. Purveyors panicked when pricey vintages went unsold. Then—horror of horrors—they did the unthinkable. They discounted.When you sell your wine for $750 a bottle, the play is “if you won't pay this much, there is someone else who will, and when this sells, there aren't any more.” But rarity and exclusiveness are evanescent qualities. When the first merchant decides to clear his shelf and sells the wine discounted to $500, the shift hits the fans. Why pay high when you can wait and buy low. People who can afford such luxuries figured this out long ago.When a Calistoga high end winery discovered a shop was going out of business and offered their wine at clearance prices, the winery immediately sent a distributor to buy the entire inventory to protect the price point.“The moment people feel the product is easy to get at a discounted price, all of a sudden the rarity has evaporated,” Dave Parker, CEO of rare-wine retailer Benchmark Wine Group in Napa, told Wine Spectator.If you are like me, you are not going to buy a $750 bottle of wine even at $500. But it is nice to note that as wine over-supply and clearance pricing trickles down, we may be in line for some sweet deals.Last roundAn orangutan in the zoo has two books: The Bible and Darwin's Origin Of Species.

George Walker III, a recipient of the Roots Fund scholarship, shares his incredible journey and the impact it has had on his education and career in the wine industry. The Roots Fund, founded in 2020 by Carlton McCoy, Aikimi Dubeau, and Tahir Habibi, aims to provide opportunities for black individuals in the wine industry. George expresses his gratitude for the support he has received from mentors like Matt Nauman and Carlton McCoy, who have helped shape his education and career. George recounts how Matt Nauman, the previous president of Wade Sellers, suggested that he would benefit from working harvest in Burgundy. Taking this advice to heart, George reached out to Carlton McCoy, a master sommelier and the founder of Lawrence Wine Group. To his surprise, Carlton responded and invited George to his home, where they had dinner and discussed the wine industry in Napa. This connection eventually led to George becoming one of the first recipients of the Roots Fund scholarship, allowing him to participate in educational programs and gain valuable experience in the wine industry. George emphasizes the importance of being open and accessible to others who are seeking opportunities in the wine industry, particularly for black individuals. He believes in paying it forward and being a vessel for others, just as he has been supported and mentored by many people throughout his journey. The conversation then shifts to the topic of racism in the wine industry, specifically in Burgundy. George asks Carlton about his experience as a black person in Burgundy, to which Carlton responds that France has never been a place for racism. In fact, France has embraced American talent, including jazz musicians, who found success and acceptance in the country. The discussion then turns to winemaking and the different approaches that winemakers can take. George highlights the diversity and versatility of wine, comparing it to an art form where the same grapes can produce completely different wines in the hands of different winemakers. He appreciates the beauty of wine and the ability to express both the land and oneself through the winemaking process. They then delve into the details of the wines George is currently making. He introduces the 2022 Chenin Blanc, a wine made from 100% organic fruit sourced from the Wilson Family Vineyard in Clarksburg. George explains that his goal with this wine is to pay homage to the history of wine growing in California and bring Chenin Blanc to the forefront. He praises the versatility of Chenin Blanc and its ability to appeal to a wide range of wine drinkers. The conversation continues with a discussion about the 2020 California Cabernet Sauvignon that George is producing. He explains that in a normal year, they would have produced a Napa Cab, but due to the circumstances in Napa, they decided to make a California Appalachian Cab instead. The majority of the grapes for this wine come from the Bedrock Vineyard, with some additional grapes sourced from Mendocino and Paso Robles. George describes the wine as true to type, with a touch of acidity to bring freshness and liveliness to the wine. The conversation then shifts to consumer preferences and the influence of well-known brands in the wine industry. George shares an anecdote about how during the COVID-19 pandemic, customers who typically purchased wines in the $12 to $18 range started buying $100 wines like Austin Hope and Caymus. He acknowledges that there is something for everyone in the wine world and encourages wine drinkers to explore and discover other producers who are doing incredible work. They discuss the importance of educating consumers and introducing them to new wines and styles. George believes that there are amazing producers out there who deserve recognition and appreciation beyond the well-known brands. He emphasizes the need to have fun and explore different wines, stepping outside of one's comfort zone. The conversation concludes with a reflection on the impact of storytelling in the wine industry. George expresses his belief that it's not just about the celebrity status or the marketing, but about what's inside the bottle. He believes that when people taste a wine that expresses something unique and tells a story, they will be compelled to try it again and share their experience with others. Overall, the conversation between George Walker III and Carlton McCoy highlights the importance of mentorship, diversity, and exploration in the wine industry. They discuss the beauty of winemaking as an art form and the ability to express both the land and oneself through the process. They also touch on consumer preferences and the need to educate and introduce wine drinkers to new and exciting wines. It is clear that George is passionate about spreading the gospel of "dope juice" and making a positive impact in the wine world.

This is the weekly newspaper column.Most searched Napa wines 8-10-2022Napa is universally recognized as one of the world's premier wine regions, and you pay to enjoy its exalted pours. How much and which wines get the most attention?Wine-Searcher maintains a daily updated online list of the world's wines complete with pricing, scores, and links to reviews and maker websites. It is an invaluable tool I have used for years for prices in my tasting notes and reviews.Part of their reporting is the number of searches on their site for each wine. That presents a snapshot of what people care about. As you would expect, searches for Napa wines concentrate on big reds. Some 70 percent of all Napa wines listed on Wine-Searcher are cabernet sauvignon, merlot, or blends of the two.When it comes to searches, a whopping 92 percent are for cabernet sauvignon and its related blends. Searchers either are contemplating buying or enjoying the fantasy of what they would buy if they could buy. Here are the world's most-searched Napa wines on Wine-Searcher along with an averaged score and price:1. Opus One. 94 points. $4122. Dominus Estate Christian Moueix. 95 points. $3273. Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon. 97 points. $4,7654. Caymus Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon. 91 points. $915. Harlan Estate. 96 points. $1,4486. Joseph Phelps Vineyards Insignia. 94 points. $2777. Caymus Vineyards Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon. 93 points. $2148. Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon. 95 points. $9679. Silver Oak Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon. 89 points. $14510. Shafer Vineyards Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon. 95 points. $342The order has been basically unchanged for several years. Opus One, Dominus, and Screaming Eagle remain unchallenged. This year, Caymus nudged ahead of Harlan. Caymus Special Selection moved up two places while Shafer dropped two.There was an interesting note. It still costs serious money to enjoy these Napa jewels, but there was a significant slowing of price increases. Opus One actually dropped in price from $416 to $412. Likely still not in your Tuesday pizza night budget, but interesting.Tasting notes:• Rabble Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 2019: Rich, lush dark fruits; 100% Napa cab. $25-36 Link to my review• Rombauer Vineyards Napa Valley Merlot 2018: Bold, ripe-fruit, easy-drinking iteration of Napa merlot. $45-50 Link to my review• Charles Krug Peter Mondavi Family Reserve Generations, Napa Valley 2018: Delivers subtle elegance; 84% Napa cab. $60-75 Link to my reviewLast round: You know it is a hot summer when your electric bill is more than your house payment.

“Give customers what they want” is a simple, yet often overlooked, business maxim. For Joe Wagner, the founder of Copper Cane Wines & Provisions, it's the cornerstone of a business philosophy that has made him one of the most successful wine entrepreneurs in history. A fifth generation winemaker with a passion for Pinot noir, Wagner introduced his first brand, Belle Glos, over two decades ago. Wagner developed Belle Glos while eschewing traditional growing techniques and winemaking processes specific to Pinot noir, a methodology shared by his second brand, Meiomi. Launched in 2006, Meiomi is known for its bold and robust flavors and encourages consumers to “go with your palate,” a credo intended to empower people to drink wine they enjoy, as opposed to the recommendations of sommeliers and critics. The strategy delivered, and Meiomi rode a wave of demand that culminated in a $315 million non-asset sale to beverage alcohol conglomerate Constellation Brands in 2015. Wagner utilized the proceeds to build out Copper Cane Wines & Provisions, a portfolio company he launched in 2014 that features several Pinot noir-centric brands, including Belle Glos, along with fast-growing labels Elouan Wines, Napa Valley Quilt and Böen.    In an interview featured in this episode, Wagner spoke about the origins of his approach to winemaking and how he thoughtfully aligned his style with growing consumer demand for bold red wines. He also explained why he's not affected by criticism from some within the wine industry, how reducing the price of Meiomi was key to mainstream adoption of the brand and how that brand's sale was guided by his desire to pave the way for his family's next generation of winemakers. Show notes: 0:51: Joe Wagner, Founder, Copper Cane Wines & Provisions – Wagner spoke with Taste Radio editor Ray Latif about his six kids, how he manages his personal and professional responsibilities and his family's lineage in the wine industry. He also discussed a newspaper profile that examined his role in the evolution of the wine business, the challenges of working with Pinot noir early into his career and how the movie “Sideways” impacted awareness and demand for the varietal and his demand-based approach to the development of Meiomi. Later, he explained how a morbid subject was an important consideration in the sale of Meiomi, how the acquisition created “balance” for his company and staff and why his work with Copper Cane is about providing his children with a similar opportunity that his father gave him.    Brands in this episode: Belle Glos, Meiomi, Caymus, The Prisoner Wine Company, Elouan Wines, Napa Valley Quilt, Böen

R.H. Drexel has been part of the wine industry since she came of age to drink, and has worked with many of the greats: Opus 1, Caymus, critic Jeb Dunnuck, and many others. She has also built her own web zine called Loam Baby, about wine culture, and she has a newsletter called Holy COW, which stands for Child of Wine. But for all her high-level involvement in the wine industry — socializing, traveling, drinking, etc — Drexel is a down-to-earth woman who is kind, creative, and open to growth. She gets vulnerable here about her mental health, her admiration for her friend Robert Parker, and how California’s Central Coast and the great outdoors have helped heal her.

Today is the last day of dating talk, and Chryssy and Brian got really into it.Our drink was . . . WINE. We drank Conundrum white blend, which Brian called “the beige of wines,” and he’s not wrong. But it’s not derogatory. It’s just a super sippable wine that goes with everything. It’s part of the Wagner family of wines, which makes some fab labels, like Caymus.Onto foreplay, where Chryssy made her favorite little lab rat take a bunch of quizzes about his Attachment Style. Two duo compared their styles and then read an article about how they need to be loved, based on their results.You can take the first quiz, which dishes out percentages so that you can see your secondary styles, too, here: https://attachment.personaldevelopmentschool.com/Here is the article we read, and it has links to the other two quizzes we took: https://medium.com/tinglymind/this-is-how-you-finally-fall-in-love-based-on-your-attachment-style-ad8640447b30In the down and dirty, Chryssy asked Brian what some of the most threatening things ABOUT HIM are that make him undatable. Then Brian turned it around on Chryssy as well.All in all, we offered up some real things to self-analyze if you’re a member of the dating world or in a current partnership.Next up, we will dish on parenting post-divorce.Until next time!

In Episode #6 I'm going to review some amazing wine gifts and explain why they are perfect for friends, family, yourself - truly any wine lover! I'm also going to spend some time discussing a question I get a lot this time of year - “what wines make great holiday gifts?” Whether you're shopping for your boss or looking for a hostess gift to bring to your annual Christmas gathering, I'm going to give you a few options here that should help you get through the holiday season! And all of these wines plus my full holiday gift guide are also listed on my blog, with links to purchase, at thewineceo.com/blog ---------- We start by diving into price points and buying wines that you know they will love. But what if you don't know what they like? Here are my 3 recommendations for this holiday season... 1. Stick to bubbles! Everyone likes champagne and you know they'll use it for new year's if they don't drink it around Christmas. Plus you can find some really good champagne for $40-$80. Try Veuve Cliquot Yellow Label or Demi-Sec, Billecart Salmon Brut Reserve, Tattinger Brut, or Piper Heiseick Sublime Demi Sec. 2. Try a California Cabernet Sauvignon. Most folks, regardless of wine knowledge, are familiar with Cabernet Sauvignon and will recognize Napa and Sonoma as great wine regions. Also, since many folks eat prime rib, roast beef, and other heavy meats for Christmas, a Cabernet Sauvignon will go great with these. Some of my favorites include Chappellet Signature Napa Cab, Stag's Leap Artemis, Chateau Montelena, or Caymus. 3. But if you feel like they will get a ton of standard wines and you want yours to stand out, my recommendation would be to try either a French Pinot Noir from Burgundy or a sweet German Riesling. Both of these wines are recognized in the US, but not as well known as a lot of California wines and Champagnes. Try Joseph Drouhin Gevrey Chambertin, Domaine Chevillon Chezeaux Nuis St. Georges, or the Jadot Beaune Vignes for a Burgundy Pinot Noir. And try Dr. Loosen and Trimbach for great German riesling. For more gift ideas and to check out the full list of items on my holiday gift guide, be sure to check out my blog post HERE and happy shopping!

Bonanza California Cabernet In this episode, Rob, Scott, and Becky all welcome another entry into the market place by the Wagner Family (Caymus).  Further, Becky explains why she demanded Bonanza be reviewed on the show, namely she was informed by an acquaintance/friend (probably Scott) that Bonanza is the entry level Caymus.  Do Rob and Scott, respectfully disagree, or are they disrespectful to the notion, the wine, and even the word "bonanza"? We shall see...on The Wine Vault.

Les Méchants Raisins se préparent pour les fêtes et discutent de tourtière, de ragoût de pattes, de cipâte –  six-pâtes ou cipaille – et de quelques bouteilles qui ont marqué les repas de fêtes de leur enfance. On jase de zinfandel, de biochimie et de la vie, en général, avec Charles « Céleste » Goyer, de l’agence Céleste Vin !

Bruce Cohn visits with Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger today on California Wine Country. He used to own the B.R. Cohn label, which he sold in 2015. Now he owns Trestle Glen Vineyards, which is a relatively small operation, having one acre of Zinfandel and seven acres of Cabernet Sauvignon on the 21 acre property. Bruce Cohn was a business manager for several popular bands in the music business. In 1974, he bought a vineyard in southern Sonoma County and had success growing grapes. Later he founded B.R. Cohn to make wine and had great success with that brand. Since he was in the music industry, B.R. Cohn used to have concerts at the winery but the new owners are affiliated with the Bottlerock people so they will continue to produce concerts there. Meanwhile, Bruce still has many friends in music so he will be organizing some music at his own winery, in the future. Dan Berger has brought a Viogner today, which a lot of people are talking about these days. It is floral and rich in the mid-palette but not sweet. It is a 2018 Rustle Viogner from Prayer Rock Vineyards, which is not far from Roseburg, Oregon. Dan thinks this is one of the best Viogners in the US. Trestle Glen is located in a hot region, they ripen about 2 weeks before other local cooler regions. He does not make white wine, but he can’t grow white on his property because it is too hot. He had to pull his Pinot Noir vines out too, because it’s too hot. As they taste the Trestle Glen Creekside Cabernet, Dan describes it as very drinkable and fruit forward with soft tannins. Tom Montgomery was his winemaker for B.R. Cohn and now also for Trestle Glen. Tom was a Fresno State graduate and he’s teaching there now. He was there when he planted Trestle Glen and he’s the only one who has ever made wine from this vineyard. When he bought the property, it had 7 acres of Pinot and 7 acres of Cab planted. He read viticulture books and he saw that he needed help. Charlie Wagner of Caymus became his mentor. He grew grapes and sold to many local wineries. When he sold B.R. Cohn it was producing 85,000 cases a year, selling in 46 states. As they taste this Cabernet, Dan Berger tells about how there are two kinds of Cabernet now, which are Napa Valley and everywhere else. In Napa the Cabernet is made like nowhere else, because of their unique climate and land. Sonoma County has always made good Cab but without such recognition as Napa. Today Sonoma County gets all the Pinot Noir. Alexander Valley is the largest Cab producer in Sonoma Co. Dry Creek is also great but also without recognition. Chalk Hill is also great, as is Sonoma Valley. Sonoma Coast is too cool. It comes down to which style makes the most impact in the market place and that is Alexander Valley. It is a broader, richer, more supple style. Sonoma Valley is more structured. Dan says it is unfortunate that the Sonoma County subregions are not as well known as they deserve to be. Bruce’s vines get heat from the warm aquifer. As for now, he makes these two Cabs, Creekside and Hillside, but with 2019 he will start bottling a Zinfandel as well. Dan Berger restates that the subregions in Sonoma Valley deserve more individual recognition for their subtle differences with various varieties. For example, up on Sonoma Mountain, there are some properties that still grow Pinot Noir there because the cool winds coming in from the Petaluma Gap cool it just enough for Pinot Noir to thrive.

Shayla Copas: From Homeless to Luxury Interior Designer. Today in The Lounge, Nick speaks with Shayla Copas of Shayla Copas Interiors at the Zuo Modern Showroom in High Point, North Carolina. Shayla discusses how she runs her business with only a small group of people and a few interns. Find out how Shayla advertises in a way that people don't really do anymore and how she became an interior designer withOUT a proper design education. Nick also speaks with Brian Pagel from Emerald Expositions. They chat about The Chaise Lounge's new partnership with KBIS and what to expect this year from the 2018 Kitchen and Bath Industry Show in January.   Getting to Know Shayla Shayla's favorite type of music is rap, she loves Tupac and Biggie. Her favorite fashion accessory is her pink Valentino shoes and handbags. Her ideal Saturday night is being at home next to her husband with a glass of wine, watching movies. Shayla's favorite vacation spot is in Italy on the Amalfi coast. When asked ‘beer, wine or cocktail?' Shayla picks a Caymus wine...by the case. As a child, Shayla would rearrange the furniture in her house and redo her bedroom at least three to four times a year. Shayla originally went to school for marketing and nursing and had almost graduated when she decided to follow her talents in interior design. Shayla's marketing experience helps her not only market her own business but her husband's as well. She met her entrepreneur of a husband in Portland, while out with some friends and now they've been married for 20 years. At one point, her husband was the fourth biggest commercial contractor in Arkansas, but he's only helped out in Shayla's business four times. Shayla was 19 years old when she was kicked out of her home because she was pregnant. She went to a pregancy home where they convinced her to continue school, start a career, and give back. Shayla asked the baby's father for child support but the father's parents didn't want him to help her. Instead, they gave her some silk plants to sell on the street and told her support the baby that way. So, Shayla stood in a pet store parking lot in Vancouver, selling silk plants rain or shine for 8 months. She began to supply silk plants as housewarming gifts for apartments around the nation. Her own apartment was filled to the ceiling with silk plants and trees in order to keep up. The production cost and materials for each plant was only about $10 but she sold them for $25-$125. Shayla was thankful for her source of income but, she was always thinking beyond what she was currently doing and looking for the next business venture. The Business Today Shayla now runs a luxury design business that does both commercial and residential work. She has a small staff from two to ten, depending on the season. Shayla markets, sells, and designs. She has interior designers on retainer and recieves a lot of help from her interns. To market herself, Shayla uses print advertising. She does advertorials with her local magazine and is getting ready to go national. Her advertorials are made from a monthly kit that the magazine supplies her, which helps them not feel like ads. She wants her customers to see her personal touch as a designer while being authentic, organic, and not contrived. Shayla gets some business from her social media platforms as well and uses Instagram to convey her brand. She loves posting stories to bring in more followers, showing off products from her vendors and from her portfolio, unless the images are going to be published. Shayla and Nick tell us that you should redo your website every two to three years because the business is always changing, and you should be as well. Shayla thinks designers should also include their press on their website. Shayla's favorite part of the business, besides design, are her clients and the relationships she builds with them. While her main focus is in luxury design, she will do small budget projects as well.
