Champagne must be made in the traditional method.A blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. The wine comes from the grand cru village of Verzenay in the Champagne region of France.Tonight, we are tasting:NV Kirkland Signature Brut Champagne. It is a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier grapes. The grapes come from the grand cru village of Verzenay. Matures in the bottle for 15 months. It is made by wine maker Manuel Janisson who doesn't really market his wines in the US, but his least expensive wines range from $40 to $50 per bottle. The wine has a rich texture and has notes of gingerbread, orange, peaches, and citrus. The Reverse Wine Snob reports aromas of lime, lemon, apple, and a bit of freshly baked bread and some floral. Flavors of creamy yet crisp lemon zest, lime, and green apple. Also has some minerality. Pairs with salty foods, white meat, and sweet potatoes. We both loved this wine and rated it a 4. Sparkling wine is not our go to wine, but we will buy this again. If you haven't tried it, put it on your list. Next week, we are trying a wine that is new to us. It is a German Riesling Kabinett. We will find out what that means and see if this will be our Thanksgiving wine.

嘉宾 | 丘濂，《三联生活周刊》主笔嘉宾 | 黑麦，《三联生活周刊》主任记者嘉宾 | 吴丽玮，《三联生活周刊》主任记者主播 | 高一丁，《Talk三联》编辑随着消费习惯和场景的改变，人们对于葡萄酒的偏好也开始发生变化：搭配精致的餐食、抿一口便对产地和年份如数家珍，可能会让很多人觉得有些负担；而如果只想轻轻松松喝上一杯，享受微醺的快乐，国产葡萄酒或许正在成为一种新的选择。新一代的国内精品酒庄是近20年发展起来的，相较于海外已经非常成熟的产区，需要付出更高的成本，来打造属于自己的品牌，但也留给酿酒师更大的空间，去发掘与本土环境所契合的品种、种植方式与酿造工艺，以及更适合国人的风味。本期节目，我们跟随几位记者的讲述，去到宁夏、山东和云南的葡萄酒产区，看看新一代的酒庄庄主与酿酒师在这里进行的尝试，寻找中国葡萄酒的独特风土。【时间轴】01:23 为什么要关注国产葡萄酒？06:48 “风土”对于葡萄酒来说有多重要？15:06 日常吃的葡萄，可以用来酿酒吗？20:10 新一代独立酿酒师在尝试什么？30:59 “没有酸味的酒，就像没有气的可乐”43:36 “生物动力法”是一种玄学吗？49:02 国产葡萄酒的价格梯度比想象中还要大51:50 为什么酒庄都要修成古堡？56:35 在酿酒师的职业生涯中，尝试的机会非常珍贵61:17 那些值得一试的酒，与好玩的酒庄【节目中提到的名词】1.单宁（Tannin）· 定义：葡萄酒里带来“涩感”的物质，主要来自葡萄皮、葡萄籽、葡萄梗，或陈年用的橡木桶。· 核心特点：不是“味道”，是“触感”——像喝浓茶、嚼生柿子的收敛感；能给葡萄酒搭起“骨架”，让口感更立体，还能帮助葡萄酒陈年。2.赤霞珠（Cabernet Sauvignon）· 定义：全球最主流的红葡萄品种之一，也是国产红葡萄酒的“主力品种”。· 核心特点：天生“骨架感强”——高单宁、高酸度，喝起来常带黑醋栗、黑樱桃、青椒（年轻）或烟草、雪松（陈年）的味道；抗病性好，适合干燥、光照足的产区。3.霞多丽（Chardonnay）· 定义：全球最受欢迎的白葡萄品种，有“白葡萄皇后”之称，国产白葡萄酒的热门选择。· 核心特点：风格极灵活——冷凉产区（如山东海岸）偏清爽，带柠檬、青苹果味；温暖产区（如宁夏）偏饱满，带菠萝、黄油、坚果味（若经过橡木桶发酵）。4.干红（Dry Red Wine）· 定义：“干”指葡萄酒发酵时，葡萄里的糖分几乎全转化成酒精，残糖量极低（≤4g/L），喝起来基本不甜的红葡萄酒。· 核心特点：最常见的红葡萄酒类型，突出葡萄的果香、单宁和酸度，口感不腻，适合搭配红肉（牛排、羊肉）。5.干白（Dry White Wine）· 定义：和干红对应，残糖量极低（≤4g/L）、不甜的白葡萄酒，通常用白葡萄品种酿造（如霞多丽、雷司令），或红葡萄品种去皮发酵。· 核心特点：酸度明亮，口感清爽，常带柑橘、热带水果或矿物味，冰镇后更好喝，适合搭配海鲜、沙拉或作为餐前酒。6.黑中白（Blanc de Noirs）· 定义：法语直译“黑色中的白色”，指用红葡萄品种（通常是黑皮诺、灰皮诺）去皮后，只用果肉发酵酿出的白葡萄酒。· 核心特点：比普通干白多一点“圆润感”，常带红莓（草莓、覆盆子）的淡淡果香，酸度柔和，口感不寡淡。7.橘酒（Orange Wine）· 定义：又称“琥珀酒”，是自然酒的常见类型，用白葡萄品种带皮发酵（类似红葡萄酒的酿造方式），因葡萄皮色素溶出，酒色呈橘色或琥珀色。· 核心特点：口感有“单宁感”（区别于普通干白的无单宁），带氧化风味（如坚果、陈皮）和浓郁的果香，酸度鲜明，风格独特，有人觉得像“有复杂度的黄酒”。8.起泡酒（Sparkling Wine）· 定义：含有二氧化碳、开瓶会冒气泡的葡萄酒，按酿造方式可分“传统法”（如香槟）、“罐式法”（如普罗赛克）等。· 核心特点：口感清爽带气泡感，有干型（不甜）、半干型（微甜）、甜型，适合庆祝场景或搭配甜点、油炸食品。9.生物动力法（Biodynamic Agriculture）· 定义：比“有机种植”更极致的农业体系，认为葡萄园是一个“完整生态系统”，遵循自然周期（如月亮、星座运行）种植，不使用化学农药、化肥，甚至会用天然材料（如牛角、草药）制作“肥料”。· 核心特点：强调“人与自然的连接”，酿出的酒常被认为“更能体现产区特色（风土）”，但产量低、成本高，价格偏贵。编辑/一丁剪辑/译丹————“Talk三联”是《三联生活周刊》出品的一档软硬皆有的泛文化类音频栏目，用声音记录报道背后的故事，提供丰富的新知与思辨的可能。在以下渠道均可收听我们的节目：三联中读APP |小宇宙|喜马拉雅|苹果播客|网易云音乐【我们还有这些播客】苗师傅·天真与经验|中场时间|我有一个朋友·董晨宇|多一种生活|岁时茶山记|你好，陌生人 HelloStranger|孩子，你的情绪我们在乎| “三联·大案追踪”有声剧如果你喜欢我们的节目，欢迎点赞支持，或者把我们的节目推荐给更多的朋友～【关注我们】App：三联中读微信公众号：三联中读微博：@三联中读小红书：三联中读官网：https://www.lifeweek.com.cn/【商务合作】zhongdu@lifeweek.com.cn

"Can I please get another glass of Chardonnay please?" We're back on our horror icon Michael Myers this week as we look back at Halloween: H20. Released for the 20th anniversary of John Carpenter's original summer of 1998, it was an early capitalizer of nostalgia culture, this time scrapping 4, 5, and 6 (The Thorn Trilogy) in favor of a more streamlined story. Jamie Lee Curtis is back playing Laurie Strode, after a seventeen-year hiatus. Laurie is in hidding after faking her own death after the events of Halloween II, and is the head mistress of a excluvie west coast boarding school. It's the type of soap oprea backstory we love, and the Spanish style board school gives it an odd flavor that all of the movies don't have. The end result is a short and sweet little 90s post-Scream slasher. Seriously, with credits, this movie runs a brisk 86 minutes, that includes the  ten-minute prologue before the credits. When JLC appears on screen, there are under seventy minutes left! We talk about Kevin Williamson's uncredited rewrite, its very WB-friendly cast, and don't worry, we talk extensively about Josh Harnett's goat-crewed bangs. The hair deserves its own Wikipedia page at this point. H20 is hardly a perfect movie, but we stand by that it has aged better than most of the sequels, including the recent David Gordon Green movies. It's Halloween, everyone is entitled to one good scare!  Thank you for listening, and don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Bluesky: @MTMUGPod.bsky.social Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram @peterlasagna

Podcast Summary: Wine Road Episode 238 Welcome to Episode 238 of the Wine Road podcast, hosted by Marcy Gordon and Beth Costa, with special thanks to Ron Rubin and River Road Family Vineyards and Winery for their support. This episode features guests Elena Diamond, Direct Sales and Hospitality Manager, and John Duckett, Winemaker at Trione Vineyards and Winery. Highlights: Introduction (0:49 - 1:12): Elena and John join the show to discuss Trione Vineyards and Winery. They clarify the pronunciation of "Trione" and share a laugh about common mispronunciations. John's First Vintage (1:16 - 2:32): John shares the story of his first vintage at Trione, a 2023 Cabernet Franc. This small-lot wine, bottled exclusively for wine club members, represents his first red wine under his winemaking leadership. He explains the decision to keep this special lot separate from their usual Henry's Blend. John's Journey to Winemaking (2:47 - 4:13): John recounts his unique path to winemaking, starting as a competitive swimmer at UC Davis before discovering the viticulture program through a table grape growing class. He reflects on his 12 years at Jordan Winery before joining Trione in 2023. Trione's History (8:24 - 10:30): The Trione family has been a part of Sonoma County since 1947. John shares how Henry Trione started in mortgages and later invested in land and vineyards, eventually amassing 1,000 acres (now 600). The family's contributions to the community include the 5,000-acre Trione Annadel State Park and other philanthropic efforts. Winery Experiences (11:31 - 13:23): Elena and John discuss the unique tasting experiences at Trione, including vineyard tours via golf carts and curated flights showcasing wines from their various vineyard properties across Sonoma County. They emphasize the importance of connecting visitors to the land and the winemaking process. Upcoming Events (18:02 - 23:00): Trione is hosting several events, including: Aroma, Sensory, and Blind Tasting (November 8th): Guests will use black glasses to train their senses and identify wine aromas. Barrel Demonstration (December 13th): A live demonstration of barrel-making and toasting. Soups and Sweaters Soiree (December 6th): A casual, fun event with wine and seasonal vibes. Trione's Small Production (26:09 - 29:03): Despite its impressive facilities, Trione is a boutique winery producing only 7,000 cases annually. They focus on five main wines: Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Henry's Blend, and Block 21 Cabernet Sauvignon. John highlights their meticulous vineyard management and commitment to showcasing the unique characteristics of their vineyards. Community and Fun (33:03 - 37:00): Elena and John share their love for Sonoma County, from coastal trips to farmer's markets. They also discuss Trione's casual, welcoming atmosphere, encouraging locals and visitors to enjoy picnics, bocce, and wine in their beautiful setting. Closing Notes (38:00 - 39:46): Beth highlights the Healdsburg Inn on the Plaza as a great lodging option and reminds listeners about the upcoming Wine & Food Affair (November 1-2), featuring wine and food pairings at 50 wineries. This episode captures the passion, history, and community spirit of Trione Vineyards and Winery, making it a must-visit destination in Sonoma County. Thanks to: Ron Rubin and River Road Family Vineyards & Winery – for their financial support Richard Ross and Threshold Studios – for making us sound so darn good!

The Kleine Zalze Vineyard Selection Chardonnay 2024 is a finely-crafted South-African white wine produced in the Western Cape, primarily from vineyards in the Stellenbosch region with a smaller portion from Robertson. It displays an elegant and complex character: the nose opens with fresh limes and citrus blossoms, followed on the palate by refined oak influence, supported by a crystalline acid structure and a subtle mineral-twinge. The 2024 vintage was noted for an early bud-break and flowering, resulting in a relatively small Chardonnay harvest but with strong potential. Vinification involves 12 hours skin-contact, whole-bunch pressing for some portion, slow fermentation at low temperature and eight months maturation in French oak barrels (with about 20% new oak, remainder second‐ and third-fill barrels). The winemaker suggests it can be enjoyed already, yet promises good cellaring potential — around 5 to 10 years in the right conditions. This makes it a sophisticated choice for pairing with richer seafood, poultry in creamy sauces or dishes with a delicate oak or buttery dimension.

Kendall-Jackson's chardonnay is made using grapes grown in the cool, coastal regions of California, which gives the wine its crisp, clean flavor. Whole cluster pressed and made in small vineyard lots throughout the winemaking process. Sur lie aging with monthly battonage (lees stirring) giving the wine silky texture and creamy flavor. Aged for 3 months in 44% French Oak (4% new) and 50% American Oak (7% new).Tonight, our three wines are:2023 Louis Dailly Fondateur Chablis. This wine costs around $17.00 and was purchased at Costco. It comes from Chablis region of Burgundy. It has notes of apples, wet stones and lemons. It is medium-bodied, clean and fresh. Drink now.2023 Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay. This was purchased from Costco for $11.00. This is the #1 selling Chardonnay in the US for the past 30-years. It comes from cool coastal climates. 13.5% alcohol. Aromas of vanilla and honey. Flavors of pineapple, mango, papaya, with notes of citrus. Also has a hint of toasted oak and butter. Comes from California, 48% Monterey County, 29% Mendocino County, and 23% Santa Barbara County. Pairs well with fish dishes. We both enjoyed both wines, but we both preferred the Kendall-Jackson. This surprised both of us since we typically like unoaked Chardonnay. Next week, we are getting ready for the holidays and will be tasting the Kirkland Signature Brut Champagne.

Peltier Winery & Vineyards is a fourth-generation farming family operation where the winery itself was established in 2001 by third-generation farmer Rodney Schatz and his wife Gayla in the heart of California's Lodi Appellation. What began in 1985 with Rodney's purchase of 40 acres of Old Vine Zinfandel has evolved into a 1,000+ acre sustainably certified operation producing over 30,000 cases annually across multiple wine collections. The winery's product innovation spans from rare Italian varietals like Teroldego and Vermentlno to modern offerings like Zante-a carbonated rose designed for today's conscious consumers with less than 1 gram of sugar per serving. Peltier distinguishes itself through complete estate control from vineyard to bottle, pioneering sustainable practices including being among the first to achieve 100% Lodi Rules certification and installing an innovative worm farm water treatment system that reduces energy use by 95%. Looking ahead, the winery continues expanding into new appellations like Clarksburg while maintaining their core phllosophy of minimal intervention winemaking that lets vineyard personality shine. Peltier consistently delivers award-winning quality across price points from $17-$60, earning accolades from Wine Enthusiast, San Francisco Chronicle, and international competitions. Their unique tasting room features a 24-wine WineStation system that eliminates waste while encouraging exploration of their diverse portfolio, embodying their brand promise of being "wine-smart with a wink"-knowledgeable experts who don't take themselves too seriously while delivering exceptional estate-grown wines that reflect four generations of farming heritage with three generations currently working together.

Margot Laurent, Oudiette Filles, ChampagneAujourd'hui place à la jeunesse champenoise. C'est une émotion qui m'a conduit jusque sur les rives du Petit Morin, au sud de la Marne, à quelques kilomètres de Bergères-les-Vertus. La cuvée Les Sablonnières, de la maison Oudiette Filles.

Send us a textA $12.99 Chardonnay from Willamette Valley that actually overdelivers? We pop the cork on Willa Creek 2023 and trace the bigger story behind Oregon's quiet Chardonnay comeback. For years the region leaned on California clones that struggled to ripen in cooler sites, yielding lean, austere wines. The switch to Dijon clones—and a clearer read on site and style—has unlocked balance, lift, and flavor, and this stainless-steel, unoaked bottling shows how far things have come.We break down the tasting profile in plain terms: a clean mix of orchard fruit and citrus framed by crisp acidity, no oak, and a texture that starts soft and expands across the palate. If you avoid buttery Chardonnay, this is your lane. We also decode the label: “produced and bottled by,” the fresh Willa Creek trademark, and Precept Wine's role crafting store brands for Trader Joe's and beyond. The paperwork might be new, but the winemaking knows what it's doing, and the result punches above its price.Planning the holiday table? This is a smart pour for turkey and rich sides. The acidity cuts through creamy dishes, the fruit stays friendly, and the finish stays clean. Beyond Thanksgiving, it's a weeknight match for roast chicken, lemony pastas, and sushi. More importantly, it signals where Oregon Chardonnay is heading: focused, bright, and increasingly reliable at value prices. Give it a try, see how it blooms in the glass, and tell us what you taste.If you enjoy the show, follow, rate, and share it with a friend who loves finding great bottles under $15. Your rec keeps the reviews coming—what value Chardonnay should we open next?Check us out at www.cheapwinefinder.comor email us at podcast@cheapwinefinder.com

Repaso de la actualidad agroalimentaria con Agrobank. 1.- El Ministerio de Agricultura, Pesca y Alimentación adelantará a partir de este jueves, y hasta el 30 de noviembre, 2.563 millones de euros a los organismos pagadores de las comunidades autónomas que han solicitado fondos para realizar el pago de los anticipos a los beneficiarios de las ayudas directas de la Política Agraria Común (PAC) correspondientes a las solicitudes de ayuda presentadas en 2025. El Departamento liderado por Luis Planas ha explicado que el pago del anticipo es una opción voluntaria para los organismos pagadores, de forma que corresponde a las autoridades competentes de las comunidades autónomas la decisión de anticipar o no el pago, así como del momento de realizarlo y las líneas de ayuda a abonar entre las previstas en la normativa nacional. Hay que tener en cuenta que se deben realizar controles previos para garantizar el uso adecuado de los fondos de la Unión Europea (UE). La Comisión Europea ha autorizado, tras la petición de España y otros Estados miembros, el incremento del pago anticipado de hasta el 70 % del importe de ayudas directas en forma de anticipo, con el fin de dotar de una mayor liquidez a los agricultores y ganaderos de la UE en el comienzo de la campaña agrícola y ayudarles así a hacer frente al impacto de los actuales conflictos en Ucrania y en Oriente Próximo y de las condiciones climáticas adversas en distintas zonas. El plazo ordinario de pagos de las ayudas directas comenzará el 1 de diciembre, fecha a partir de la cual las comunidades autónomas podrán pagar hasta el 90 % del importe. El pago del 100% de la ayuda se autorizará a partir del 15 de mayo, una vez calculados los importes unitarios definitivos de las ayudas directas. 2.- La Denominación de Origen Rueda ha cerrado la campaña de vendimia de 2025 con un balance "muy positivo" en calidad y equilibrio, tras recolectar 123.123.089 kilos de uva, una cifra que supone un descenso del 12,6% respecto al ejercicio anterior, cuando se recogieron 138.568.850 kilos, pero con una calidad que el Consejo Regulador califica de "excelente" por el "óptimo" grado alcohólico, la acidez "equilibrada" y el "alto potencial" aromático de la uva, especialmente de la variedad Verdejo. Desde los servicios técnicos del Consejo Regulador se ha destacado que "los primeros mostos apuntan a una añada con vinos muy expresivos y de gran potencial aromático", en un año marcado por los contrastes meteorológicos. "El esfuerzo de los viticultores y el trabajo en campo han sido determinantes para mantener el nivel de calidad que define a nuestros vinos", han subrayado. La vendimia ha comenzado el 22 de agosto con las variedades de ciclo corto, como Sauvignon Blanc y Chardonnay, y se ha prolongado durante varias semanas hasta completar el proceso de recolección. En concreto, el 99,77% de las uvas vendimiadas han sido blancas -122.608.285 kilos-, con una clara hegemonía de la Verdejo, que representa el 88,82% del total (108.903.108 kilos). 3.- La reserva hídrica almacena 29.745 hectómetros cúbicos (hm3) y están al 53,1% de su capacidad, según datos del Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica y el Reto Demográfico (MITECO) consultados por Europa Press. Esto supone 595 hm3 menos que la semana pasada, o lo que es lo mismo, el 1,1% de la capacidad total de los embalses. En comparación, los embalses están 5,7 puntos por arriba que el año pasado por estas fechas, cuando almacenaban 26.608 hm3. En este marco, el Segura sigue siendo la cuenca que almacena menos agua y está al 17% de su capacidad. Esta semana, las precipitaciones han sido abundantes en la vertiente Mediterránea y han sido prácticamente nulas en la vertiente Atlántica. En concreto, la máxima se ha producido en Tortosa, que ha registrado 205,8 litros por metro cuadrado (l/m2). La vertiente mediterránea está al 49,7% y la atlántica, al 54,2%. Están por debajo de la mitad de su capacidad Galicia Costa (42,4%), Guadalete-Barbate (41,7%), el Guadalquivir (41,5%), la Cuenca Mediterránea Andaluza (44,6%), el Júcar (49,3%) y el Segura, al final de la lista al estar al 17%. 5.- El Pleno del Congreso, mediante una iniciativa del BNG, ha vuelto a pedir este jueves al Gobierno que reduzca al 0% el IVA aplicado al pescado y productos del mar, al considerar que estos se han encarecido y son alimentos "básicos y de primera necesidad". A pesar del rechazo de PSOE y Sumar, la Cámara Baja ha dado respaldo a esta petición tal como ya hizo en febrero y mayo del año pasado, en aquel entonces a instancias del PP. En lo que respecta al resto de la moción consecuencia de una interpelación urgente al ministro de Agricultura, Pesca y Alimentación, Luis Planas, se han aprobado varias peticiones para revisar las bases de la Política Pesquera Común Europea por el principio de estabilidad relativa o para avanzar en el reconocimiento de Galicia como Zona de Alta Dependencia Pesquera. Otros puntos aprobados son para pedir que se mantengan abiertas todas las oficinas del Instituto Social de la Marina (ISM) en Galicia o para recurrir la sentencia del TJUE que avala la prohibición de la pesca con artes de fondo en 87 zonas del Atlántico, sin que sustente en informes científicos rigurosos, sin tener en consideración las consecuencias económicas y sociales y además equiparando el palangre con el arrastre de fondo. También se ha instado al Ejecutivo a rechazar el recorte del 67% de los fondos europeos destinados a la pesca propuesto por la Comisión Europea para el nuevo marco presupuestario 2028-2034.

Cambria is a women-owned, women-led producer of 100% certified sustainable, estate-grown Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in the Santa Maria Valley AVA in Santa Barbara County, California.Founder Barbara Banke was an early champion of the region and established Cambria Winery in 1986. Barbara's two daughters are co-proprietors of the winery and the namesakes for the two main vineyards, Julia's Vineyard and Katherine's Vineyard. A winemaker's paradise, the estate is situated on a West Coast transverse valley a rare geological feature that funnels in Pacific Ocean breezes and blankets the vines in maritime fog, creating one of California's longest growing seasons. The ocean influences the soils as well, with seashells and fossils lending a signature Santa Maria spice note to the Pinot Noirs. Winemaker Jill Russell believes that “happy people make great wine” and passionately crafts wines that show the best of the estate and are prized for their texture, harmony, and energy. Jill leads vineyard and cellar crews who have worked at Cambria on average for more than 20 years and whose drive for excellence earned Cambria the title of a Top 100 Winery of 2020 from Wine & Spirits.

Send us a textIn this episode of Inside the Bunghole, the team welcomes winemaker Brian Marquez from Weins Cellars, a legacy winery located in Temecula, California. Brian shares the story of Weins' 20+ year journey, from its beginnings in Lodi to becoming one of the “Four Castles” of Temecula wine country. Known for producing over 30 varietals and upwards of 100 different SKUs, Weins has built a diverse portfolio—from sparkling wines and white ports to bold reds—crafted to appeal to a wide range of palates. Brian kicks things off with their popular sparkling wine, “Blanc de Blanc,” and discusses the local and historic fruit sources they work with, including old vines from Cucamonga and heritage plantings near Native reservations.Brian's personal journey from event bartender to head winemaker is filled with humility, hustle, and heart. A self-taught craftsman shaped by the mentorship of the Weins family, Brian describes learning the ropes—from cellar hand to creative winemaker—through hands-on experience and a willingness to taste, learn, and adapt. His breakthrough came in 2013 when he was given the reins on Chardonnay production, ultimately earning a 90+ rating from Wine Enthusiast. Since then, he's gone on to craft award-winning wines such as their Arneis and Refugio Cabernet Sauvignon, while also representing the winery in prestigious competitions and even judging international wines himself.The episode also explores the evolution of Temecula as a wine destination, the technical side of winemaking (including a deep dive into barrel selection and toasting), and why Weins Cellars prioritizes the direct-to-consumer experience over mass distribution. Brian discusses how their family-oriented vibe, member-exclusive experiences, and music-driven events help create lasting memories. The winery's commitment to crafting elegant, approachable wines—like their fan-favorite Refugio Cab—has made them a standout in Temecula's growing wine scene. It's a heartfelt, informative conversation about legacy, labor, and loving what you do.Cheers! Please like, follow, subscribe and rate us! We LOVE to hear your comments!

We know what you're thinking: how different could two of the same wines from different vintages taste really?!? We're here to tell you, they were vastly different. Not even close. This week, we put Costco Kirkland Signature head to head with itself. Same wine: Kirkland Signature Chianti Classico Riserva, but different vintages - 2020 vs. 2022 - and two different producers. And hands down one was a winner. We expected it to be closer, but it just wasn't. We also dig into what the different designations of Chianti mean - Chianti vs. Classico vs. Riserva vs. Gran Selezione. And we talk about why Chianti can be a bit of a polarizing wine. We also dared to try the Trader Joe's Pumpkin Spice Chardonnay. There is only one way to describe it, and it rhymes with ducking spitty. You'll definitely want to hear our reaction on that one.

Send us a textA single sip of Wente Morning Fog Central Coast Chardonnay 2023 tells a bigger story—one about a 140-year family legacy, a game-changing clone, and the craft behind a clean, vanilla-tinged style that wins without the heavy butter. We open the bottle and trace Wente's roots in Livermore, where the family helped shape modern Chardonnay by selecting and improving clones that now appear in roughly three-quarters of U.S. plantings. That history isn't trivia; it directly affects how today's wine tastes: brighter fruit, better balance, and reliable quality year after year.We get granular about technique in a way that's friendly and useful. Why split fermentation between neutral American oak and stainless steel? Neutral oak lets in a whisper of oxygen to round the texture, while stainless preserves crisp green-apple notes and freshness. Then there's lees aging and bâtonnage—stirring the lees to add creaminess without piling on heavy oak flavor. The result is a Chardonnay that leans vanilla over butter, with a lively mid-palate and a clean finish that plays well with salads, white fish, and simple white pasta. If you've written off Chardonnay as too oaky, this bottle is a welcome reset.We also talk value and consistency. Morning Fog keeps delivering at a price that makes it a weeknight staple and a party-safe pick, with scores around 90 points backing up its reputation. Expect green apple, gentle vanilla, and a calm, polished texture that suits a wide range of palates. If you're building a small wine lineup at home, this is the versatile slot—easy to serve, easy to love, and easy on the wallet.If our breakdown helped you find your next fridge-door white, follow the show, share this episode with a Chardonnay skeptic, and leave a quick review so more wine fans can discover smart, affordable bottles.

In this very special live-recorded episode, Jessica visits Balanza Vineyard in the heart of Oregon's Dundee Hills to sit down with Chaly and Kerry Balanza and hear the beautiful love story that became the foundation of their wine journey. From their first meeting on a tennis court in Austin, Texas, to falling in love with Oregon Pinot Noir, and finally planting roots in wine country, Chaly and Kerry's story is one of passion, risk-taking, and a deep devotion to creating community through wine, food, and hospitality. You'll hear how an impromptu vacation turned into a life-changing decision, what it was like to plant their very first vines in 2014, and how they transformed a rugged piece of farmland into the welcoming estate and boutique B&B that now hosts travelers from around the world. Together, they share how their wines—Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Rosé, and the playful Block Party Pinot—reflect not only the beauty of the Dundee Hills but also the adventurous spirit that brought them here.

Love the wine origin story of Richie Allen, the winemaker for Rombauer Vineyards, located in Napa Valley. Australian born, Richie's wine journey started at a surprise birthday party in Sacramento. From there it was living out of two suitcases going from harvest to harvest before ending up at Rombauer producing award winning wine.  One of my favourite California Zinfandels plus killer Chardonnay's Rombauer is one of the prettiest vineyards you can visit.  Fun conversation.

From The Wine Conversation with Sarah Kemp (wine-conversation.com): In our latest 10-Minute Masterclass (actually 12 minutes this month, as there was just too much great information to leave out), Jasper Morris MW, author of “Inside Burgundy,” looks at Making White Burgundy. There are conferences about Pinot Noir, he notes, but White Burgundy isn't talked about enough.Jasper begins by looking at the main grapes, Chardonnay and Aligoté, and relates how Aligoté used to struggle to ripen, but not any more, as he moves on to the ways producers are modifying viticulture to respond to climate change.Picking dates are really vital, he explains: “You can test your grapes one day and discover they are 11.5% alc and say that will be alright for a week, but you come back five days later and they've shot up to 14% alc already – so you've really got to pay a lot of attention.”Most people press whole bunches, but Jasper favours the method where the grapes are crushed before they press them: “The advantage of that is that you get the juice mixing in with the skin more than if you don't crush them,” he says. “I'm convinced that Chardonay is not the ballerina grape that Pinot Noir is. I think it is out there on the rugby field getting deep down and dirty, and you ought to make the wine in that way”.Jasper then examines the role of fermentation vessels, and reveals that many producers are now tending to use larger barrels so there is less wood effect. Producers used not to worry too much about the time and temperature of the fermentation, but today many are looking for shorter fermentations, as long fermentations were thought to be one of the reasons there was premature oxidation in the wines.When to bottle and which closure to use? Classic White Burgundy needs longer in barrel, Jasper states, and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of different closures. He concludes by lamenting that wines are now made to be drunk younger, and advises, “If you have a chance, do drink a 25-35-year-old, even a 50-year-old White Burgundy. Properly stored, it's so magical.”You can also find Jasper's guest appearances on other Podcast/Video channels we work closely with: The Wine Conversation 67 Pall Mall TV Bringing Burgundy closer to you with every episode!Subscribe to my website and get full access to my scores, tasting notes, detailed write-ups on producers and much more:https://www.insideburgundy.com/register/See all our events at: https://www.insideburgundy.com/all-events/Daily updates on our Instagram: @jaspermorris.insideburgundy

Send us a textDiscover a hidden gem that defies wine pricing expectations with our deep dive into Trader Joe's Grand Reserve Oak Knoll District Chardonnay 2024. At just $12.99, this exclusive offering delivers authentic Napa Valley quality that would typically command three times the price elsewhere.What makes this wine special begins with its prestigious origin. The Oak Knoll District sits at Napa Valley's southern end, where cooling fog creates the perfect environment for Chardonnay grapes to develop complex flavors while maintaining crucial acidity. This microclimate produces wines with remarkable balance—exactly what we found in this bottle. Created by the veteran winemaking team at DNA Vineyards (Dennis Patton and Andrea Silverstein), who bring over 40 years of experience and a track record of crafting Trader Joe's most beloved wine offerings, this Chardonnay showcases their considerable expertise.Upon tasting, this wine makes a bold statement without falling into the over-oaked butter trap that plagues many California Chardonnays. Instead, it offers a sophisticated interplay of stone fruits, citrus notes, and subtle spices, all supported by excellent structural acidity and satisfying mouthfeel. While initially striking in its confidence, the wine reveals additional layers with each sip, growing more intriguing throughout the experience. This isn't a shy, delicate Chardonnay—it's a full-flavored expression that demands attention while maintaining remarkable balance for its price point.Have you discovered a similar value wine that delivers way above its price?

Corruption runs deep within the nefarious medical industrial complex. Grace Schara unfortunately was killed while in the hands of hospital overlords. Nearly four long years after this tragic event, the Schara family's wrongful-death lawsuit and three week jury trial was held to get justice for Grace. Anybody in their right mind who watched the trial couldn't help but believe justice would prevail and there would be a favorable outcome for the plaintiffs. Knowing how unjust and corrupt America's legal system is, the outcome was far from favorable. Our biggest question is, "Who got to the jury?" There's no way big medicine, corporate greed, and compromised courts could allow a victory because it would've imploded the medical establishment. Grace's father Scott explains the final verdict of when big money and a sleeping jury merge.Follow Scott at: https://ouramazinggrace.netYou can take advantage of one of the best holistic health conferences anywhere and enter Discount Promo Code – GRIT for 30% off all My EHI Aloha courses and Healing for the A.G.E.S. events and replays by visitinghttps://myehialoha.org/#GRIT--------------------------Check out all of our vendors at: https://patriotswithgrit.com/patriot-partners/ SPONSORS FOR THIS VIDEO❤️ Cardio Miracle – One Drink.

Making wine is capital-intensive. Making traditional method sparkling wine is even more so. From less juice from the grapes to double fermentation to more expensive bottles and taxes, Weston Eidson of recently launched Westborn Wine describes the differences in sparkling production. Detailed Show Notes: Weston's background: >10 years winemaking in Napa (Silver Ghost), family are wine collectors, interned w/ Jason Moore at Modus Operandi (2012), and acquired extra Chardonnay from Steve MatthiassonWestborn was founded in 2018, taking “Grand Cru” or single vineyard level fruit for sparkling wine (e.g., Heintz, Ritchie, Durell vineyards)Partnered w/ Russell Bevan (mentor) and Nathan Reeves (made sparkling in Margaret River)The goal is to start with high-quality wines and layer on complexity with traditional method agingTook 4-5 years to find a stride & hone the winemaking processInitially thought it would be 3 years aging vs 6 for 1st release (2019 1st release; 2018 1st vintage just disgorged mid 2025)SKUs: vintage, Blanc de Blanc, Rose, Non-vintageLuxury priced - $100+Solera method perpetual reserve program, late disgorged release, lead to a lot of capital in inventory2018: 500 cases; 2025 ~1,000 cases; target ~2,000 casesSparkling production costs vs. still wineFruit costs the same (growers love it: less shrivel, gets fruit off earlier - less pest/disease pressure; spreads out the work)Press cuts important, ~25% less gallons/ton vs still wine, as they don't take tailleNeed to make the wine twice: initial fermentation (vin clair), secondary fermentation (bottled with yeast and sugar)Custom crush costs are slightly more expensive due to double fermentationBottles are more costly and need to be bought earlier (~$0.15-20 for a standard bottle; ~$1 for sparkling)Taxes higher: $2.40/gallon for sparkling wine, $0.07/gallon for still wine

In this Parenting is a Joke episode, comedian Andrea Marie talks about founding the Moms Unhinged Comedy Tour after becoming an empty nester and realizing she finally had the freedom to hit the road. She shares with host Ophira Eisenberg how her unconventional upbringing with a prank-loving mom who once greeted boyfriends in a gorilla costume—and even trained as an Italian-style clown—shaped her sense of humor. Andrea describes her first career as a Facebook marketing expert and author before pivoting into stand-up, where her earliest jokes came from midlife crises and parenting fails rather than ad campaigns. She reflects on juggling speaking gigs while raising kids, from blogging under an umbrella at water parks to arranging her schedule around school breaks. The conversation also covers her divorce, the loss of her mother, and the strange world of “cemetery surge pricing.” Andrea recalls wild moments from Moms Unhinged shows, like a woman breaking her ankle in Bend, Oregon, another falling down the stairs in Fort Dodge, and having to bounce a disruptive audience member in her hometown. She admits producing and performing can feel like being “the mom” of the show, but the sold-out theaters and grateful audiences—especially women new to comedy—have made it worthwhile. The episode closes with Andrea laughing about the Chardonnay shortages that nearly sparked a mutiny at Martha's Vineyard, proof that the “unhinged” part of the tour title is sometimes more literal than metaphorical.

This week's show is on South Africa, a much more historic region than many realize, it has been making wine for more than 350 years. Although considered a 'New World' wine region, winemaking and ethos are often more oriented towards the Old World. Its style often straddles the line between New and Old World, offering fruit-driven wines with minerality, earthiness, restraint, and higher acidity.     In this show, I talk about the unique conditions of this country, located between latitudes 27° and 34° south. I discuss the lengthy winemaking history,  and how the Mediterranean climate, old soils, and a unique topography create world class wines of mainly Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinotage, and Merlot.   Photo: South African Winelands/Stellenbosch.

The wines of the Monterey Peninsula, and particularly those of the Carmel Valley, are exquisite. It is always just so interesting to have the some grape grown in different parts of the world and be so different...soely on the location and environmental influences of the vineyard. When tasting Bernardus wines, you taste complexities entirely different than anywhere else in California. These wines are something special and Jim McCabe is responsible. I also had to alert him to the famed folk guitar store, McCabes in Santa Monica. You might say Jim McCabe's side hustle—building guitars—makes him a craftsman twice over, but it's his day job as winemaker at Bernardus Winery that will have you tuning your curiosity to new frequencies. In this episode of Wine Talks, I invites you to uncork not just bottles, but the entire lived experience of crafting wine in California's stunning Carmel Valley. You'll learn why great wine isn't just about the grapes, but the ebb and flow of history, land, and a willingness to embrace both tradition and careful, gradual innovation. Jim doesn't just talk barrel aging or fermentation science; he brings you to the heart of winemaking's enduring mysteries—the art of blending picks from different harvest moments, the challenge of warding off smoke taint during wildfire years, and the ever-changing dance with nature that means no two vintages are ever the same. What does it take to draw younger generations to honest wine when technology and taste are shifting faster than vines grow? Jim and I candidly dissect the battle between old-school storytelling and the rise of social influencers, while reflecting on the timelessness of grassroots, word-of-mouth enthusiasm. Along the way, you'll pick up on the slow, patient work behind the scenes—why relationships with grape growers matter, why incremental rather than drastic change is key, and how history and tradition shape every bottle. By the end of the conversation, you'll come away with more than the technical notes of Bernardus' famed Pinots and Chardonnays; you'll understand the emotional charge that a simple sniff of a great wine can trigger, and why, whether you're a seasoned sommelier or new to the wine world, this is a craft that always keeps you guessing, learning, and savoring just one more glass.
