Podcasts about Chardonnay

We have missed having Brekeriet sours on the store shelves. They made incredible sour beers. Most of the Swedish wild ale and sour ale breweries have flown away over the years. Thankfully a new local brewery has picked up the mantle and is taking off. Flying Guru has been around for a few years. They are moving away from other beer styles to focus more on farmhouse and wild ales. We tried the first two to hit systembolaget shelves. Verdande is a 6% farmhouse ale that blends three year-old wild ale from Brekeriet with their own wild ale aged on Gruner Veltliner and Gewurtraminer grapes. The results is a great beer to pair with any meal. Urd is a 7.6% ABV farmhouse ale that also blends three year-old Brekeriet wild ale with their own wild ale aged on Chardonnay grapes. It's light, fruity and an exciting new addition to the wild ale family. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #farmhouseale #wildale

Steve Sangiacomo from Sangiacomo Family Wines joins Dan Berger and Daedalus Howell on California Wine Country. This is his first time on the show. The Sangiacomo family has been growing grapes in the Petaluma Gap area before it was identified as an AVA. They purchased their first property in 1927. The Roberts Road was planted in 1999 with about 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay. They have about 20 wineries that make single vineyard wines from it. In 2016 they launched their own label, and Roberts Road was at the top of the list for sourcing. The Wind to Wine Festival is back this year, after a one-year hiatus, on Saturday, October 17 from 1 to 4 pm, at the Gambonini Ranch. There will be Petaluma Gap wines and lots of food options. There will be an auction of wines and wine-related experiences. Tickets are $75 for general admission and $95 for VIP. Click here for all the info, Petaluma Gap dot com. They get plenty of fog and it is a low-yielding site. This year is probably their lightest crop ever. This wine they are tasting is a 2022 Sangiacomo Chardonnay. Daedalus describes an understated elegance from flavors of pears. Dan says it is already tasty and shows its potential for aging too. It is a clone of old Wente, Dijon 95 and clone 17. The blend of these three produces an elegance beyond just old Wente alone. Vines are drought-tolerant plants. Steve points out that vines are drought-tolerant plants that don’t need a lot of water. But you have to give them enough so that when you get heat spikes, the vines can withstand it. Next, they taste the Roberts Road Pinot Noir. They have 5 clones there, which allows them to play with more options. They ferment all 5 clones separately so they can blend any way they want. Dan detects a unique forest floor component that you don’t get from anywhere else, except maybe Santa Cruz. When the Sangiacomo family started their own label, after supplying high-quality grapes to other winemakers for many years, they had to be sure the quality was first rate and the price could not undercut their customers’ retail prices. Steve says he and his brother and sister learned how to work together from their father. Now the fourth generation is starting to get involved in the wine business.

What if the future of California wine isn't Cabernet Sauvignon or Chardonnay—but grapes like Sangiovese and Vermentino? In this episode of The Wine CEO Podcast, I sit down with Dan Fitzgerald, winemaker at AVIVO Wines in Lodi, California, to talk about how a changing climate could reshape what we grow and drink. AVIVO is taking a different approach to California wine. Their wines are made from climate-adapted Mediterranean grape varieties, grown using certified organic and regenerative practices, and made with just TWO ingredients: organic grapes and a small amount of sulfur dioxide. Dan and I discuss: 1) What makes a grape variety "climate-adapted" 2) What sustainable, regenerative, organic and Biodynamic wine mean for AVIVO 3) Why AVIVO wines contain only two ingredients 4) Why Mediterranean varieties like Sangiovese and Vermentino make sense in Lodi 5) How California wine culture may evolve in the years ahead If you've ever wondered what's actually in your bottle of wine, whether sustainable wine tastes different, or what California wine might look like in the future, this episode is for you.

Send us Fan MailJoining me on today's episode of the English Wine Diaries is Jules Perowne from Cobble Hill, the award-winning vineyard on the North Norfolk coast farmed by the Perowne family for five generations.  It was Jules who gave her father Robert the vine that started it all — a 60th birthday present in 2016 that grew, within a year, into 17 rows planted on a ten-acre south-facing plot he'd bought two decades earlier. Robert's hunch about the site's chalky, frost-free soil paid off, and the vineyard soon expanded to 150 rows of Bacchus, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with a 200-year-old barn on the farm converted into a working winery.As the vineyard's ambitions grew, so did Jules' involvement. Bringing in industry heavyweights including former Decanter editor Guy Woodward and viticultural consultant Stephen Skelton, she helped assemble the team now led by consultant winemaker Emma Rice, who produces Cobble Hill's small, focused range of still and sparkling English wines.By day, Jules runs Perowne International, the global travel and lifestyle communications consultancy she founded, with offices in London, Milan, New York and Mexico City. But Norfolk remains her happy place — the farm where she grew up — and she now brings the same marketing and branding instincts she's honed over 20 years in luxury hospitality to bear on Cobble Hill's next chapter.We talk about the trials and tribulations of farming in the 21st century, what the world of tourism can bring to the industry and how Norfolk is earning its place on the wine map. Find out more about Cobble Hill at cobblehillnorfolk.com and follow the team on Instagram @cobblehillwine. Thanks to English Wine Diaries series sponsor Rankin Bros & Sons — trusted suppliers of corks, closures, and packaging solutions to the UK wine industry since 1774.

On the Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show Podcast for Wednesday 23rd of September, the Finance Minister responds to the independent review of the Reserve Bank's monetary policy during the Covid pandemic.

New Zealand Chardonnay has earned its place at the world's fine wine table in a blind taste test. Wines from Pyramid Valley and Smith & Sheth were tasted alongside top French Burgundies, with Smith & Sheth's Les Graviers coming out on top. It beat out 23 other bottles, with some costing over $2000. Master of Wine Steve Smith told Mike Hosking they wanted to test themselves against the best, and it went well. He says they're not really trying to be Burgundy, but in a world where those wines are becoming very expensive and hard to find, he thinks they deserve a place at the same table.

Sept. 20 marks 14 months without alcohol.After the pandemic, my desire to drink more accelerated. I tried taking off a set number of days, but that didn't seem to help. Tried drinking on certain days. Nope.I was tired of how I felt and looked and didn't want to live the rest of my life relying on alcohol.Luckily, I didn't hit rock bottom—I just scraped it a few times.So, I drank what was left at my house and never bought more. I still haven't. This is that story, plus a shoutout at the end for Orville Peck and his new album, Mule.

Portugal has been on the docket for a while, and it finally gets the right guest: Nicole Muscari, the wine educator and content creator behind Grape Chic, who has made the trip 22 times since 2019 and now owns a place in Porto. We're digging into the friendly Porto-vs-Lisbon rivalry — Porto's grit and cobblestones read like New York, Lisbon's sprawl and beaches read more L.A. — then heads into the Douro Valley to make the case for its dry reds and mineral whites, not just port. There's also a detour to Colares, a DOC so small its vines still grow ungrafted in sand. Pastel de nata debates, football pride, and a real argument for booking that direct flight all make an appearance. This Week's Wine: 2022 Altitude by Duorum Douro Mentions and Links Wines & Producers Altitude by Duorum — the episode's featured Douro red, a blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Cão. Alvarinho (Vinho Verde) — worth seeking out in its age-worthy, lees- or barrel-aged styles, not just the light spritzy version. Arinto — coastal, salty white from the Lisbon region, sometimes given Chardonnay-style oak and lees aging. Colares DOC (Malvasia whites, Ramisco reds) — a roughly 22-hectare appellation near Cascais growing pre-phylloxera vines in sand. Restaurants & Bars — Porto de Lima's Wine Bar — opened by Rafael de Lima in the historic center. Blind Pony — speakeasy right next door. Fauno — small tasting-menu spot with wine pairings. Cozinha das Flores — strong wine list with rare back-vintage Portuguese bottles. Prova — wine bar with deep, well-curated allocations. Casa Guedes — go-to for the roast pork and Serra da Estrela cheese sandwich. Arco das Verdades — cliffside wine bar with natural/biodynamic small-producer bottles and river views. Pedro Lemos — Michelin-starred restaurant with a standout cellar. Taylor's — Port house recommended for its educational tour. Casa de Chá da Boa Nova — two-Michelin-star restaurant on the water. Fábrica da Nata — favorite pastel de nata. Taberninha do Manel (sister restaurant Adega do Manel) — riverside Gaia spot for amêijoas à Bulhão Pato and francesinha. Gazela — the cachorrinhos (Porto-style hot dogs) spot Anthony Bourdain once featured. Bomfim 1896 — Michelin-recommended. Libatio — Nicole's pick for the city's best wine bar. Douro Valley The Vintage House — hotel in Pinhão, a good base for exploring the valley. Vinho Verde Town of Amarante — medieval town with an old bridge, worth the detour. Monverde Wine Resort — modern wine hotel with floor-to-ceiling views over the vines. Lisbon Black Sheep — favorite wine bar Pastéis de Belém — the original pastel de nata bakery.

Episode Summary Who is Susie Selby, and what does it take to build an independent winery in Sonoma County? In this episode of the Wine Road Podcast, Katie Ambrosi sits down with Susie Selby, owner, winemaker, and sole proprietor of Selby Winery in downtown Healdsburg, California, for a wide-ranging conversation about winemaking, harvest in Sonoma County, the evolution of Healdsburg, and more than 25 years of making wine under the Selby label. Susie shares the story of founding Selby Winery with her father in the late 1990s and continuing the winery after his unexpected death just a few years later. She talks about her winemaking philosophy, her love of classic, Burgundian-style Chardonnay, and why she has always focused on making wines people can actually afford to open and enjoy. The conversation also uncovers some remarkable chapters in Selby's history. Susie recalls being selected to make Chardonnay for Robert Redford's Sundance program, discovering that "Bob" was actually Robert Redford, and accidentally mistaking Glenn Close for Meryl Streep. She also explains how Selby wines found their way into the White House during three presidential administrations, including becoming a favorite of Laura Bush and having Selby Sauvignon Blanc served as a house white during the Obama administration. Katie and Susie also explore the lighter side of Sonoma County wine country: the story behind the cult-favorite Bobcat Zinfandel, Susie's new Naughty Nancy white port, favorite old and new Healdsburg restaurants, affordable ways to experience Wine Country, and Susie's other passion—playing drums in a local band. It's a conversation about Sonoma County wine, women in winemaking, Healdsburg history, hospitality, family, resilience, and the relationships that make Northern Sonoma County wine country special.

In this episode I talk with John "JJ" Julius Naab, assistant winemaker at Matthiasson Wines and founder of Lamitié Wines, about his unconventional path from Chicago brokerage and endurance sports into the wine world. JJ traces his move from finance to Santa Barbara hospitality and DTC sales at Brewer-Clifton and the moment he realized he wanted to make his own wine. We dig into his decision to complete the UC Davis Winemaking Certificate, how that "inch deep, mile wide" technical foundation pairs with on-the-job experience, and what he really learned during his first harvest at Kosta Browne in the middle of COVID and wildfire smoke. We then dive into JJ's Chardonnay-focused Lamitié project: why he chose to be known for one thing, his focus on low alcohol, high-acid chemistry, and what he looks for in vineyards like Charles Heintz (clone 4, cool sites, marine influence). JJ explains his press strategy ("the juice isn't always worth the squeeze"), fermenting Chardonnay in puncheons on full solids, running relatively warm ferments, and then moving the wine to stainless for a second year to tighten texture and enhance reduction in his efforts towards a Burgundy-inspired style that still reflects California fruit.

This week, we're gathering around the table for a very special episode of Magnolia Street, sponsored by Phantom Wines. Inspired by the everyday rituals that make ordinary moments feel a little more magical, we're exploring the history, folklore and traditions surrounding wine, and the way a shared table can become a place for storytelling, memory, connection and community. We'll travel through ancient wine mythology and curious superstitions from around the world, explore the magical folklore of the grape, and share traditions passed down through our own families. Kristina takes us into her Croatian heritage, sharing memories of her grandparents, family dinners, toasts, and the rituals that shaped her understanding of hospitality and gathering. Justina sits down with her parents to hear their memories of homemade family wine, summers in Italy, and the stories preserved inside old bottles and family photographs. Then, of course, we're bringing it all home to the Owens women. We're tracing wine throughout Alice Hoffman's Practical Magic series, revisiting the Owens kitchen as the heart and hearth of the family, talking Midnight Margaritas, inherited recipes, kitchen witchery, Franny and Jet's rules for the table, and asking the very important question: If the Owens women were wines... what would they be? Along the way, we're enjoying Phantom Wines' dark and alluring Proprietary Red Blend and rich and enticing Chardonnay, while uncovering the generations of Bogle family history behind the bottle, including the ghostly vineyard lore that helped inspire Phantom itself. Because sometimes the magic isn't what's inside the glass. It's the people gathered around it. Explore Phantom WinesFollow Phantom Wines on InstagramSOCIALS:⁠⁠⁠Link Tree⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DISCLAIMER:The Magnolia Street Podcast intends to discuss the movie, “Practical Magic” in its entirety.

Send us Fan MailAfter a slightly longer than planned break - we're back and joining me on today's episode of The English Wine Diaries are Adrian and Galia Pike from Westwell Wines in Kent. Their small, family-run winery sits beneath the Pilgrims Way and has about 70 acres under vine across two sites with plantings of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay, Regent and their signature grape, Ortega.  Before turning to English winemaking, Adrian and Galia both had successful careers in music. Adrian co-founded the influential independent record label Moshi Moshi, launching artists including Florence and the Machine and Hot Chip before setting up the state 51 conspiracy, a digital music agency championing independent labels and artists. Meanwhile Galia was one half of the multi-award-winning electronic duo Psapp, best known for writing the Grey's Anatomy theme tune. However, an encounter with a glass of English still wine made by organic producer Will Davenport sparked the journey that led them to Westwell in 2017 and they now grow, make and bottle all their wines on site using minimal intervention and, where possible, wild yeast fermentations that express the individuality of Westwell's Kentish terroir.Adrian's experimental, instinctive approach to winemaking and commitment to authenticity have made him one of the most innovative voices in English wine. Galia meanwhile brings her design background to Westwell's distinctive visual identity, creating intricate, monochromatic illustrations inspired by microscopic details of the winemaking process on the labels. Their philosophy is simple: plant well, respect the soil and make great, honest wines from brilliant fruit. They also want to make English wine fun and accessible – and this ethos was recently recognised when they were awarded the inaugural Small Cellar Door Award at this year's WineGB awards.  Find out more about the by following @westwellwines or visit westwellwines.com.Thanks to English Wine Diaries series sponsor Rankin Bros & Sons — trusted suppliers of corks, closures, and packaging solutions to the UK wine industry since 1774.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: MONARCH, GATE, and organized child abuse survivor, overcomer and now whistleblower, artist, creative, dog and animal lover, consciousness explorer, investigative researcher, freelance filmmaker, cinematographer, claymation effects and 3D art maker, and a courageous young man standing up for liberty and justice for all survivors, Adam HamerA little bit about Adam and what you can expect to hear more about today: Adam's story begins in the public schools of Tucson in the 1990s. Enrolled in the GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) program starting in kindergarten, he was told it was simply enhanced curriculum. What followed, was far more complex - a deeper layer of experiences that left vast stretches of his childhood memory as “inky black pools of nothingness,” punctuated by fragments that only later revealed their full weight. As he transferred through schools, the program continued and for nearly 32 years, large portions of those years remained locked away. Then, last year, a single video linking trauma-based mind control with the GATE program unlocked the floodgates and the connections formed. Justice became not just a hope, but a mission. What follows is the story of a man who refused to accept silence or erasure. Adam filed extensive first-party Privacy Act requests with different agencies and sought records related to the programs he recalled being used in as a child. The responses - citations of “unusual circumstances,” national security exemptions, delays, defaults, and rephrasings - only strengthened his resolve. He is not merely suing for personal redress; he is fighting to establish that every single human being owns their DNA, genetic profile, and bio-quantum field forever. No agency, corporation, or unacknowledged defense infrastructure can claim proprietary interest, tracking rights, or modification rights over biological sovereignty without explicit, written, informed consent. His ultimate goal is broader still: to force a modern Church Committee II that brings these programs into the light of congressional oversight, strips away blank checks, and permanently protects the cognitive autonomy of every person on the planet. This case is about ensuring that children today, and every future generation, retain absolute, sovereign ownership over their flesh, blood, mind, and spirit. He has spoken of the profound difficulty male survivors face in coming forward, the societal barriers that silence them, and his determination to change that reality. As a filmmaker (including work as lead editor on the Hype Williams/Kanye West video “Marvin & Chardonnay”), he brings creative insight to his advocacy, even reflecting on how unconscious patterns from his experiences surfaced in his professional work. Childhood drawings, medical records, and official correspondence form the mosaic of evidence he has presented to authorities and the courts.Adam is more than a survivor. He is a warrior of light who has turned personal trauma into a universal shield. In a world where the human genome and consciousness itself risk becoming contested territory, he stands as the first to plant the flag of absolute ownership. He reminds us that one voice, armed with truth and persistence, can compel the most entrenched systems to answer. He fights not for vengeance, but for a future where no child is funneled into programs under false pretenses, where consent is sacred, and where every person owns their biological and quantum self forever.In Adam we see the best of the American spirit: resilience forged in adversity, patriotism rooted in the Constitution, and an unrelenting demand that the government serve the people rather than experiment upon them. His legacy is already taking shape - not in the shadows of unacknowledged programs, but in the bright light of accountability, neuro-rights, and the simple, revolutionary declaration that the human being is sovereign. The body is not federal property. The mind is not a battlespace. And Adam is ensuring the world never forgets.

Send us Fan MailVictoria may be Australia's smallest mainland state, but when it comes to wine, it punches wildly above its weight. Home to 21 wine regions and more than 800 producers, it's a remarkably diverse patchwork of cool-climate Pinot and Chardonnay, peppery Shiraz, ageworthy fortified Muscat and, yes, Australia's original Prosecco and many other Italian grape varieties. Its wine history is equally rich, shaped by generations of immigrant growers, pioneering families and some seriously old vines. In this episode, we take a tour through Victoria's five signature wine destinations: from the Yarra Valley and Pinot Coast to the goldfields, Rutherglen and the King Valley. Joining us is Stephanie Duboudin, CEO of Wine Victoria, whose 25-plus years in the international wine business give her a uniquely broad perspective on the state's place in the global wine landscape. We dig into what makes Victoria distinctive, the remarkable family histories behind its vineyards, the evolution of its regional identities, and why this small corner of Australia deserves considerably more attention from wine lovers and the trade alike.This episode was produced in collaboration with the Wine Victoria association of growers and producers.  

Royce McKean of Tiki Wine in North Canterbury's Waipara chats with us about buying an 800-acre sheep farm (plus a neighbouring 100 acres) in 2004, planting vines in 2005–06, and starting as a contract grower before releasing Tiki's first wine—a 2009 single-vineyard Sauvignon Blanc—then expanding into Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir plus others.Royce describes relying on experienced viticulture support including Dr Dave Jordan, the challenge of launching a new brand during the post-2008 oversupply, and the origin of Tiki, Maui, Waiata and Koro brand names.He shares highlights including making wines for his parents, and announces Tiki's approval for regenerative certification by A Greener World, while discussing wider regenerative goals via the Regenerative Viticulture Foundation. He closes by sharing why he'd choose Woody Harrelson as his dream wine companion.www.tikiwine.comwww.nzwinepodcast.comwww.instagram.com/nzwinepodcastMusic track featured on this podcast: ‘Here He Was' – courtesy of Brent Page.

Some wine stories begin with a bottle. This one begins with a family, an abandoned walnut orchard, and a leap of faith in the Eola Hills.On this episode of Wine Crush Podcast, Heidi sits down with Ben Casteel, second-generation winemaker, co-owner and director of Bethel Heights Vineyard, for a conversation about family, legacy, Oregon wine and the land that has shaped it all.Bethel Heights began in 1977, when the Casteel and Dudley families discovered an abandoned walnut orchard in what is now the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. They planted their first vines between 1977 and 1979 and released their first commercial vintage in 1984, becoming part of the pioneering generation that helped establish the Willamette Valley as a world-class wine region.Ben literally grew up among those vines, spending summers working in the vineyard with his family. Wine wasn't originally his career plan. He headed to the University of Oregon intending to pursue English literature, but a 1999 harvest in Burgundy changed his trajectory. After gaining experience at Rex Hill, Ben returned home and eventually took the winemaking reins from his father, Terry Casteel.Today, Ben carries Bethel Heights into its second generation while staying deeply connected to the philosophy that has guided the family from the beginning: make wines that speak clearly of place, vintage and the remarkable landscape of the Eola-Amity Hills.Heidi and Ben talk about those early Oregon wine pioneers, growing up at Bethel Heights, taking over a family legacy, old vines, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and what it means to steward a piece of Oregon wine history for the generations still to come.This is more than a conversation about wine. It's about family, place and nearly five decades of believing in a hillside in Oregon.Pour yourself a glass and join us for Wine Crush Podcast

What's the difference between a wine that's lean and one that's thin? Why is asking for a "smooth" wine one of the least helpful ways to describe what you actually want?

When does Brettanomyces add character to a wine versus being a flaw? Can decanting Champagne actually improve it? How does Maryse convince lifelong Chardonnay skeptics to give the grape another chance? When does pairing red wine with fish work?

Todd Ritter flies solo as host this week on The Bourbon Road, welcoming Chip Tate — Master Distiller of Innovation for Ampersand Spirits (a Foley Family Spirits project) — for a deep dive into one of the most inventive new whiskey series to hit shelves. Chip brings his decades of distilling philosophy, his background founding Balcones Distillery in Texas, and his stint crafting copper pot stills, all to bear on a four-expression lineup that challenges every assumption about what American whiskey can be. From a nine-year-old neutral grain spirit aged in ex-cognac barrels to a six-way wine barrel finish on a high-malt bourbon, every pour here tells a story of deliberate curiosity. On the Tasting Mat: - Ampersand Vinea: A 92-proof blend of 75% rye whiskey and 25% neutral grain spirit that spent over nine years in ex-cognac barrels — a happy accident born when barrels bought in France in 2015 for another project were kept wet and simply never emptied. The result is thin in body but surprisingly aromatic, with grapevine, cognac-cask fruit esters, and a firm French-oak tannin structure that recalls aged Scottish grain whiskey. Non-chill filtered. *(00:01:28)* - Ampersand Malice: Also at 92 proof and non-chill filtered, Malice blends 51% rye whiskey with 49% Calvados (French apple brandy) into a cross-category spirit that Chip frames as a chef sourcing ingredients from two different farms. The nose erupts with apple-cinnamon potpourri; the palate delivers stewed apple, warming rye spice, and a richness that proves Calvados can stand toe-to-toe with a robust rye. MSRP $59.99. *(00:13:07)* - Ampersand Opumus (Batch 1 — 116.6 proof): The crown jewel of the lineup, Opumus starts with 15-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon (sourced from Wild Turkey) that Chip found overly tannic on its own, then finishes it in Tokaji wine barrels for approximately one year per batch. At cask strength near 58.3% ABV, this is a dramatic whiskey: deep floral and juicy-fruit aromatics, stewed raisin, leather, tobacco, and a sweetness drawn from the mold-ripened Tokaji. Limited to roughly 55 barrels per release; when it's gone, it's gone. *(00:30:35)* - Gambit No. 6: Bottled at 92 proof (46% ABV) and non-chill filtered, Gambit begins with a six-year-old high-malt bourbon that first passes through stripped-and-re-toasted Chardonnay barrels before being split into four finishing streams — Oloroso Sherry, Muscatel, Tokaji, and Laird's apple brandy barrels — where it rests for 18-plus months. The resulting blend is deliberately Bordeaux-like in concept: the Chardonnay provides structure and brightness, the Oloroso brings nuttiness, the Tokaji adds juiciness, and the apple brandy ties every fruit note together. Soft, integrated, and sessionable at its proof. MSRP approximately $65. *(00:41:01)* Chip Tate is one of the most analytically minded distillers working in American craft spirits today, and this conversation makes that abundantly clear. Whether he's explaining why 46% ABV is the floor for non-chill filtration, drawing parallels between broken hollandaise and a misproofed blend, or describing how he shepherds hundreds of individual barrels through a six-way finish, his precision is matched only by his genuine love for the unexpected. Listeners who want to track down these bottles can find them through Southern Glazers distribution in most markets, or via direct-to-consumer options on the Ampersand and Gambit websites. A teaser for an upcoming fifth Ampersand release — described only as "a brother from another mother" to Opumus — should have fans of that expression paying close attention to Chip's Instagram at @ChipTateWhiskey.

As the birthplace of wine and the vinifera grape species, Georgia (the country), has wine deeply embedded in its culture. Yet, having survived conquest by three empires, fine wines are not the current norm in Georgia, where the Russian Communists focused on quantity over quality. Irakli Gilauri is launching Gilauri Wines to change that and to give wine collectors all over the world a chance to taste and connect with the best of the Ancient Terroir that is his home country of Georgia.

This week, we explore two sides of white Burgundy through two very different expressions of Chardonnay from Louis Jadot.First, we taste the bright and unoaked 2024 Mâcon-Villages. Then we move to the warmer and fuller 2024 Pouilly-Fuissé, aged for six months in French oak. Tasting them side by side gives us a clear look at how oak, place, and appellation shape what ends up in the glass.We also explore why the Mâconnais offers some of Burgundy's best value, debate which style we prefer, and close with a Chardonnay edition of Grape Guesses.Two wines.

Wine is always changing, and few people are thinking about that evolution more deeply than Sashi Moorman, the winemaker behind Domaine de la Côte in Santa Barbara County.This episode of Wine Spectator's Straight Talk features host James Molesworth in conversation with Moorman about his path from cooking to winemaking, the development of Domaine de la Côte and how his thinking about making Pinot Noir has developed over nearly 20 years. He also talks about terroir, climate change and his belief that the wine world needs to embrace new regions, new styles and even new maps.“Wines become popular, they become unpopular. That's just the nature of wine. All those books that you see on the shelf, you can basically throw them in the trash can. They just don't mean anything anymore. So we need new books and we probably need new maps. And I don't think that's a bad thing. I think that's actually quite exciting,” says Moorman.Wine Spectator senior editor for news Mitch Frank also joins Molesworth to discuss his profile of the Rochioli family in the September issue. Tom Rochioli reflects on three generations of grape growing in the Russian River Valley, his father's early decision to plant Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, his own return to farming and his children's involvement in the next generation of the family business.The episode also includes a remembrance of David Hirsch, founder of Hirsch Vineyards, who helped establish the Sonoma Coast as a significant region for Pinot Noir.And don't forget, there's always more free content at WineSpectator.com.Links & ResourcesRead the September Pinot Noir IssueRead Mitch Frank's cover story on the Rochioli familyLatest Wine NewsAsk Dr. VinnyNew York Wine ExperienceSubscribe to Wine SpectatorA podcast from Wine SpectatorMarvin R.

Sunlight travels 93 million miles to reach Earth, and as Bill McKibben points out on this episode of Climate Change Environment Science & the Law, none of those miles pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Host Gregg Goldfarb sits down with the bestselling author of "Here Comes the Sun" to unpack why the Iran conflict, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, is becoming the second energy shock of the decade, and why it's pushing Asian nations that depend on oil and gas shipped through the Gulf to accelerate their pivot to solar, wind, and batteries. Bill breaks down the numbers behind China's clean energy build-out, explains why California now generates more than half its electricity from the sun thanks to massive battery buildout, and makes the case that renewables are no longer a fringe bet but the more reliable, and often cheaper — choice for most of the world. The conversation then turns to American farmland, where Bill separates fact from fiction on solar leasing: the stable income it provides farmers, the rise of agrivoltaics (from French vineyards seeing a jump in Chardonnay yields to sheep grazing beneath panels in New England), and why devoting a small share of U.S. farmland to solar could meet 100% of the country's energy needs. He closes with a practical tip anyone can use right now, inexpensive, plug-in balcony solar panels that require no electrician and are now legal in ten states, with more expected to follow.   Join Gregg and Bill McKibben on Climate Change Environment Science & the Law as they explore: Why the Strait of Hormuz has become a geopolitical argument for solar, wind, and batteries How China's clean energy build-out compares to the rest of the world, and what's happening across Southeast Asia Why California now draws more than half its power from the sun, and the role battery storage plays overnight Why some countries are ramping up coal short-term even as long-term investment shifts to renewables Why 80% of the world's population lives in fossil-fuel-importing countries, and what that means for the economics of going solar How solar leasing works for farmers, and what percentage of land is typically involved What agrivoltaics is, and how shade from solar panels is boosting crop yields and pollinator populations Why solar polls well across party lines, even when the motivations differ What plug-in balcony solar is, what it costs, and which states have legalized it How to get involved through Third Act, the climate advocacy group for Americans over 60   TIME STAMPS 00:00 Sunlight does not go through the Strait of Hormuz 00:18 Can solar actually power an economy 01:14 The second energy shock of the decade 02:17 China's pace, and who else is switching 03:44 The US exception: wind and solar rollbacks 04:54 Why coal is the patch, not the bet  05:27 Batteries and California after sundown 06:42 The oil money headwind, and the 80% who import 07:58 Farmers, land, and stable income 09:18 Corn for ethanol vs the same acres in panels  10:20 Agrivoltaics: shade, sheep, and pollinators 11:26 "It looks like a monstrosity" 12:15 What a farmer earns, and the removal bond 13:41 Trump flags at the mailbox, panels on the roof 14:26 Balcony solar is legal in 10 states 15:33 Push your state, and Bright Saver 16:53 Third Act and 350.org 17:59 Here Comes the Sun   Bill McKibben  is a bestselling author and one of the world's leading environmental advocates, known for decades of work sounding the alarm on climate change while championing practical solutions like the rise of solar power.

With 143 years of history, Wente Family Vineyards is the US's longest continuously family owned and operated winery, even producing wine through Prohibition. Aly Wente, Chief Revenue Officer, discusses how Wente leverages its rich history to re-launch historic brands, connect with younger consumers, and embed the messaging in social media and hospitality to differentiate itself.
