Encore ultra minoritaire, ce type de logement séduit de plus en plus de citoyens.Selon la sociologue Camille Devaux, l'habitat participatif, c'est d'abord l'idée de se réapproprier son habitat, de lui donner un sens. Et cela passe par la volonté de partager des choses avec ses voisines et ses voisins. L'idée est bien de pouvoir faire partie d'un collectif sans être en « communauté ».Une belle idée qui n'est pas forcément facile à mettre en place…Pour cet épisode, direction Chardonnay, près de Mâcon et Lyon.

What happens when a powerhouse trial lawyer and his equally driven wife trade suits and city life for vines and vision in Oregon's Willamette Valley? You get LucidWild — a boutique winery rooted in purpose, passion, and one hell of a view.In this episode of the Weinnotes Podcast, I sit down with Blair and LJ Nicholas, the couple behind LucidWild, to talk about their incredible journey from the courtroom and corporate world to crafting wine with soul and intention. This isn't a “retirement” story — it's a second chapter fueled by grit, heart, and a relentless desire to create something lasting from the land.We kick things off with a blind tasting (spoiler: it's a 2016 Chardonnay from their winemaker, the iconic Isabelle Meunier), and then get into the backstory of how LucidWild came to be. From their early inspiration on a trip to Tuscany to planting 300 vines in their backyard, Blair and LJ share how the spark of curiosity turned into a full-blown calling.You'll hear how they fell in love with Oregon wine after hearing a Burgundian winemaker tell them, “This is not about the winemaker. This is about the land.” That philosophy stuck. It's the soul of LucidWild, where every decision — from native ferments to the intentional layout of their immersive, multi-room tasting experience — honors the land and the stories it tells.LJ takes us behind the design of Lucid Wild's stunning new tasting space, from the Sky Room to the speakeasy hidden in plain sight. Her approach? Experiential and emotional design that invites guests to feel like they're walking into a friend's home — not a pretentious wine fortress. You'll hear about their “ideal lab” for business meetings, a game room with billiards and bocce, and how the bathrooms (yes, the bathrooms) became an unlikely Instagram hotspot thanks to the label artwork proudly displayed inside.Blair gets real about why he left law — not to escape, but to build something with meaning. He shares how LucidWild's wine lineup reflects different expressions of their estate vineyard. Every bottle is made from 100% estate fruit, and they even use a golf cart to take guests right to the vines where the wine comes from. It's about connection to the land, to each other, and to the stories shared over a great glass of wine.We talk about their exciting new sparkling wine collaboration made by Isabelle Meunier and her husband, acclaimed sparkling winemaker Andrew Davis. It's their first sparkling release and a labor of love that brought both families together around the table (literally) to taste through styles and build something uniquely Oregon.Throughout the interview, we dig into what makes Oregon wine, and Willamette Valley in particular, so special right now. From world-class Pinot and Chardonnay to a rising sparkling scene, Blair and LJ are bullish on the valley's future and grateful to be part of a region where intention still matters more than mass production.We also lighten things up with a round of rapid-fire questions. LJ wants the superpower to duplicate herself (because who doesn't?), Blair wants to solve homelessness, and they both agree that wine is best enjoyed with good people, good music, and a whole lot of heart.Lucid Wild isn't just a winery. It's a philosophy, a commitment to making beautiful wines that reflect place, people, and purpose. Whether you're a wine lover, a design nerd, or someone dreaming of your own next chapter, this episode is full of inspiration, real talk, and a little sparkle (literally and figuratively).

Send us a textRemember when you swore you'd never wear barrel-leg jeans again? That's how many wine lovers feel about Sauvignon Blanc – but just like those jeans eventually won you back, this misunderstood grape variety deserves a second chance.We're diving deep into Sauvignon Blanc's remarkable diversity, exploring expressions that go far beyond the familiar Marlborough style that flooded wine shelves worldwide. From an astonishingly good $8 Aldi find to a textural, oak-influenced Fumé Blanc and the mineral-driven elegance of Loire Valley classics like Pouilly-Fumé, we're rediscovering what makes this grape special.The differences between these styles reveal fascinating insights about winemaking approaches around the world. Learn how New Zealand winemakers revolutionized Sauvignon Blanc production through strategic harvesting and protective techniques, creating that signature tropical-meets-grassy profile that conquered global markets. Discover why French producers, who traditionally didn't even mention "Sauvignon Blanc" on their labels, are now adopting some Kiwi innovations while maintaining their distinctive terroir expression.Whether you're an avowed Sauvignon skeptic or simply looking to expand your palate beyond one familiar style, this episode demonstrates that quality and character exist at every price point. From machine harvesting debates to the cultural significance of French sugar regulations, we explore the technical and historical factors that shape these wines.Join us in our mission to rehabilitate Sauvignon Blanc's reputation. After all, as Meg wisely observes, "We don't want a 30-year lag on it coming back" like we experienced with Chardonnay. Your next favorite white wine might just be a style of Sauvignon Blanc you've never considered before.Follow us on instagram @winewithmegandmel

Als Uli Kremer ein kleiner Junge war, fand er den Winzerberuf eher doof. Zu anstrengend, immer was zu tun. Konsequenterweise probierte er erst mal kurz was anderes – um dann festzustellen: da muss man ja auch arbeiten! Dann doch lieber Winzer werden und in Vaters Fußstapfen treten! Und so kam er nach Winzerlehre, Wanderjahren und Studiengang als Meister und Techniker 2014 in den Betrieb in Großheubach, den sein vater dort gegründet hatte – weil er wegen einer Mehlstauballergie die Tradition der Familie als Müller nicht fortsetzen konnte. Seit 2023 leitet Uli Kremer nun das Weingut, doch Vater Steffen ist als helfende hand immer noich dabei – genau so wie die beiden Ehefrauen: ein klassischer Familienbetrieb. Das Weingut wuchs in den Jahren auf 14 Hektar Rebfläche, die Spezialität sind –  wie in Churfranken nicht verwunderlich – burgundische Rebsorten wie Spätburgunder, Chardonnay und Weißburgunder. Das einzigartige Terroir des Großheubacher Bischofsberg, geprägt von rotem Buntsandstein mit hohem Eisengehalt, verleiht den Weinen eine besondere Note. Besonders der Spätburgunder sticht hervor – er wurde mit dem renommierten „Best of Franken“-Preis ausgezeichnet und zeigt die Qualität, die das Weingut anstrebt. Selbstverständlich gibt es auch Silvaner, allerdings nicht irgendeinen: es sind 90 Jahre alte, wurzelechte Reben, die diesen Wein so besonders machen…Mehr Infos und Bilder bei den STIPvisiten[00:37] heute mit U2: Uli Kremer und Uli van Stipriaan[05:23] im Glas: Chardonnay[10:08] es klingelt das Telefon: es geht um Best of Franken...[11:34] Preis ist überraschend: nur mit diesem einen Wein mitgemacht[14:06] Rückblick zu den Anfängen des Weinguts[22:22] weil wir in Franken sind, gibt's Silvaner[26:46] neu im Weingut: Engelberger Klostergarten.

Decoy Chardonnay: Hidden Complexity at a Value Price

Send us a textHave you ever discovered a wine that completely redefines what you can expect at its price point? That's exactly what happened when I uncorked the Decoy Chardonnay 2023, a remarkable white wine that offers complexity and craftsmanship typically reserved for bottles costing twice as much.This surprisingly sophisticated Chardonnay showcases the brilliance of multi-regional grape sourcing, pulling from Sonoma (40%), Central Coast (30%), Mendocino (13%), and Yolo County (8%) to create a fascinating tapestry of flavors. The wine opens softly on the palate before expanding into vibrant notes of tangerine, nectarine, anjou pear, and subtle tropical fruits, all supported by refreshing acidity that gives the wine excellent structure without overwhelming sharpness.What truly sets this bottle apart from other value-priced Chardonnays is the meticulous oak treatment – aged for eight months with 30% in new French oak undergoing malolactic fermentation. This technique, rarely seen at the $15 price point, introduces gentle creaminess and subtle vanilla that complements rather than dominates the fruit character. The result is a beautifully balanced white with enough body to stand up to flavorful dishes like Thai cuisine or grilled seafood, yet refreshing enough for casual summer sipping.Though Duckhorn Vineyards sold to a private equity firm for a staggering $2 billion two years ago, the winemaking quality remains impeccable, with only four winemakers steering the ship throughout their nearly 50-year history. This Decoy offering proves that exceptional wine experiences don't necessarily require premium prices – sometimes the best values come from established producers who apply their expertise to entry-level bottlings. Next time you're looking for a versatile summer white with genuine character, this $15 wonder deserves a spot in your glass.Check us out at www.cheapwinefinder.comor email us at podcast@cheapwinefinder.com

María Santos resume todas las noticias del sector. 1.- La Interprofesional de la DO Valdepeñas volverá a estar operativa en otoño, después de que este jueves se hayan sellado los nuevos estatutos de esta asociación, que quedó disuelta en 2021 cuando los productores que la conformaban --Asaja, COAG, UPA y Cooperativas Agroalimentarias-- salieron de ella para mostrar su disconformidad con la "guerra comercial" entre las entidades representantes del sector industrial --Avival y Asevivaldepeñas--. La zona de producción de la DO Valdepeñas tenía inscritas 12.171 hectáreas en la campaña 2023-2024 en los términos municipales de diez localidades de la provincia de Ciudad Real con 1.486 viticultores; cuenta con 14 bodegas inscritas con 21 instalaciones y en la citada campaña se comercializaron 389.947 hectólitros por valor de 88,6 millones de euros. La mayor parte del viñedo amparado por esta denominación corresponde a las variedades de uva Airén y Cencibel, aunque también están autorizadas las variedades blancas Macabeo, Chardonnay, Verdejo, Sauvignon Blanc y Moscatel de Grano Menudo; así como las variedades tintas Garnacha tinta, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah y Petit Verdot. Esta DO elabora vinos blancos, rosados, tintos y espumosos, de diferentes tipologías. 2.- Limones, peras conferencia y manzanas golden son los tres alimentos que se vieron afectados por la rebaja del IVA que más han subido de precio en los grandes supermercados en el último mes, según el estudio realizado por Facua-Consumidores en Acción, que analiza la evolución de los precios entre principios de junio y principios de julio de 2025 en ocho cadenas de distribución. En concreto, el kilo de limones ha experimentado de media un incremento de precio del 22,7%, registrando la mayor subida en Alcampo, donde ha pasado de 2,35 euros en junio a 2,99 euros en julio (un 27,2% más). Por su parte, las peras conferencia se han encarecido de media un 11,6% en las últimas semanas. La subida más acusada se ha dado también en Alcampo, con un 20,1% de incremento (de 2,49 a 2,99 euros/kilo), mientras que las manzanas golden cuestan en julio una media de 9,6% más que hace un mes, registrando la mayor subida en Eroski, donde el encarecimiento ha sido del 20,7% (de 1,88 a 2,27 euros). 3.- La Asociación Española del Dulce (Produlce) e ICEX España Exportación e Inversiones han formalizado la firma de un convenio marco de colaboración para consolidar la internacionalización del sector español del dulce y posicionar su imagen como referente de calidad, innovación y diversidad, según informan en un comunicado. En concreto, este acuerdo, que tiene una vigencia inicial de cuatro años, establece un marco de trabajo conjunto para el diseño y ejecución de actividades de divulgación, formación y promoción internacional de las categorías que integran el sector del dulce: cacao y chocolate, caramelos y chicles, galletas, pastelería y bollería, panificación, turrones y mazapanes y miel. Actualmente, el sector supera los 2.400 millones de euros en exportaciones anuales y está presente en más de 170 mercados, consolidándose como quinto exportador de la industria alimentaria española. 4.- El Queso Don Crisanto, de la DOP San Simón da Costa de la quesería Crisanto en Vilalba (Lugo), ha sido elegido el mejor queso de España de 2025 de los premios 'Alimentos de España', que otorga el Ministerio de Agricultura, Pesca y Alimentación. En concreto, este lunes se ha publicado en el Boletín Oficial del Estado (BOE), la orden de concesión de los premios Alimentos de España a los mejores quesos 2025, un galardón que reconoce la excelencia y calidad de estos productos españoles y que desde esta edición se concederán de forma anual, y no cada dos años como ocurría hasta ahora. De esta forma, el mejor queso madurado de vaca ha sido para Don Crisanto, de la Denominación de Origen Protegida (DOP) San Simón da Costa, de la quesería Crisanto en Vilalba (Lugo). Este queso ha obtenido la mayor puntuación global entre los galardonados en las cinco modalidades, por lo que recibe también el premio especial Alimentos de España al mejor queso 2025. 5.- El fuego ha quemado 20.466,25 hectáreas (ha) hasta el 6 de julio de 2025, según datos del Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica y el Reto Demográfico (MITECO). Esto supone un 14,1% más que el 29 de junio tras grandes incendios forestales como el de Torrefeta i Florejacs (Lerida), que los Bomberos de la Generalitat de Cataluña dieron por controlado el 2 de julio. El 2025 es el cuarto año con menos hectáreas quemadas de los últimos diez tras 2018 --cuando se quemaron 10.229,76 ha--; 2016 --con 11.413,04 ha quemadas-- y 2020 --con 19.458,50 ha--. De hecho, se han quemado un 15,3% menos de hectáreas que en 2024 --cuando ardieron 24.169,46 ha-- y un 48,7% menos que la media de los últimos diez años, con un promedio de 39.885 ha quemadas entre el 1 de enero y el 6 de julio. Transición Ecológica ha informado de que 2.282 de los 3.357 siniestros registrados han sido conatos, es decir, que han afectado a menos de una hectárea. Un total de seis han sido grandes incendios forestales, es decir, que han afectado a más de 500 ha. Uno de ellos sería el de Lleida, que habría afectado a unas 6.000 ha.

Send us a textThe Master of Wine qualification represents the absolute pinnacle of wine education – a credential so challenging that only 5-10% of candidates ever pass. Since its creation in 1952, just 480 people worldwide have earned these prestigious initials. But what exactly makes this qualification so formidable?Taking you behind the curtain of this elite examination, we dissect real questions from this year's MW papers, attempting to answer them ourselves with varying degrees of success (and humility). The examination tests candidates across three grueling tasting papers requiring blind identification of wines from around the world, and four theory papers covering everything from technical viticulture to global wine business strategies.The tasting component requires identifying wines like a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon from Margaret River versus one from Pessac-Léognan, or distinguishing between Chardonnays from Chablis, Monterey, South Africa, and Margaret River. Theory questions range from highly technical matters – "How would you address 0.9 grams per liter of volatile acidity in a Chablis intended for lees aging?" – to philosophical challenges like creating a wine blend that represents "the essence of humanity's wine culture."We explore what makes someone a Master of Wine, beyond just encyclopedic knowledge. It's the ability to communicate effectively about wine, synthesize complex information, and form coherent arguments on multi-faceted issues facing the industry today. Whether discussing the impact of health warnings on wine labels or how producers can farm without agrochemicals, candidates must demonstrate breadth and depth across scientific, cultural, and commercial domains.Have you ever wondered if you have what it takes? Join us for this fascinating look at wine's ultimate challenge and share your thoughts on what wine blend would represent humanity's wine culture.

Proper winemaking takes humility. It takes a story. It takes risk. And I guess risk is relative. when you come from nothing or next to nothing and you plot a path and execute a path, that comes from and takes humility. Mike Grgich landed in Saint Helena with $32 dollars sewed in his shoe and landed in front of a faceless hotel. He wasn't sure at the point what to do next and certainly wasn't aware of what was to become of him. Sitting with Violet Grgich is in itself sitting with humility. Such a desirable trait in a human being. She immediately draws you in to her outlook on life; perhaps a piece of her fathers outlook. The Grgich name might conjure visions of Napa Valley legend, but Violet Grgich proves she's every bit as fascinating as the myth she continues. In this unforgettable conversation, you'll traverse the triumphant, tumultuous journey of her father, Mike Grgich—the man behind the “Judgment of Paris”—from a small, impoverished Croatian village to the heart of California winemaking, with $32 literally sewn into his shoe and ambition sewn into his soul. Violet unspools the invisible threads connecting generations: the hard-won wisdom passed from father to daughter, the unwavering commitment to tradition and authenticity, and the belief that the story in every bottle is as important as the wine itself. Along the way, you'll uncover why organic, regenerative farming isn't just a marketing phrase at Grgich Hills, but a living, breathing value system; how a winemaker's hands-off approach reveals complexity in the glass; and why, despite decades of technological advances, the heart of great wine remains thrillingly elemental. Violet's reflections on the emotional power of wine—its capacity to conjure memories, ignite conversation, and bind friends—will linger with you long after, as will her thoughts on the shifting tides of generations, changing tastes, and why she's certain that, in the end, every age group rediscovers honest wine. You'll step behind the cellar door to meet the people, the terroir, and even the family spirit that defines Grgich Hills—learning not only the story of a vineyard, but how wine, at its best, transforms a simple moment into something infinite. By the end, you'll know not just how Grgich wines are made, but why they matter, and why the real taste of wine is the taste of a hard-won, beautifully lived life.   Grgich Hills Estate (Violet Grgich's winery) https://www.grgich.com Napa Valley Vintners Association https://www.napavintners.com Apple Inc.

This show is brought to you in association with iDealwine. English county Essex is better known for its brash behaviour (and certain reality TV shows) than its beautiful wines. But is all that about to change?!For long, Essex was England's best kept wine secret. The grapes were sold off to producers from Kent to Cornwall, which meant their Essex origin sailed under the radar. But then came the investment - both from ambitious local families and then, in 2023, from the highly regarded US wine producer Jackson Family Wines (JFW). Nowadays, some postcodes in Essex have the highest concentration of individual vineyards anywhere in the UK. Vineyard prices are not far off those in Marlborough, New Zealand. Essex has gone from zero to wine hero in the blink of an eye, with classy still (rather than sparkling) wines the forté, particularly Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc.So could Essex end up challenging the likes of Sancerre and Burgundy?!We get the lowdown from Charlie Holland, who's heading up JFW's ambitious English wine project, plus 'Mr Essex viticulture' Duncan McNeill and Chris Wilson of acclaimed Cambridge urban winery Gutter&Stars. We also give our verdict on a (surprisingly wide) range of Essex wines, including JFW's debut release (Marbury Chardonnay). And yes, the words, 'new dimension' are uttered.Thanks for tuning in.

David Hejl from Domaine Della is our guest on California Wine Country with Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger. Blair Hardman is also in the studio today. The Domaine Della winery is named after David's mother, Della. David used to be the CEO and general manager for Kosta Browne. He worked for Kosta Browne winery after they were sold to new owners. He was entrusted with managing the staff through a transition to go from 10,000 cases per year to 30,000. Before that, David started in the 1980s living in Paris, France, working for Nabisco. He had great French wine at dinner every night. That was the exposure to wine that started his lifelong interest. California Wine Country is brought to you by Rodney Strong Vineyards and Davis Bynum Wines. They are tasting a Chardonnay that Dan Berger calls, “Chardonnay to make you wake up,” and, “incredible.” David gives credit to the vineyard, one of Sonoma County's finest. It's all about picking to get the perfect acidity. He also prefers not to use too much oak. That is how he gets the fruit to take the lead. Dan calls this wine perfectly balanced. It has the rich fruit that you want, but the acidity to make it pair well with food. It is a remarkable balance between big and delicate. And of course, it should get better in about three years. David says, "We'll be in harvest before you know it!" Then they open a Pinot Noir. He uses fruit from some of the same vineyards that supplied Kosta Browne. The owners and growers are longtime friends. They are 85% direct to consumer. The rest sells through charity events around the country. Dan says the Pinot Noir is excellent, and has all the best characteristics of Russian River Pinot Noir. Elegant, raspberry aromas, a little bit of cherry, and a spice component. David explains that there are 6 different clones, in two different vineyards.

Send us a textWine lovers, take note! While the alcohol industry faces declining sales across all categories, we've discovered a stunning bright spot in Oregon's Willamette Valley. The Stoller Estate Chardonnay 2023 represents everything we look for in a quality wine that won't break the bank.Officially priced at $25 but occasionally available for as little as $15 during promotions, this Chardonnay reveals the fascinating history behind Stoller's evolution from turkey farmers in the 1980s to established wine producers since 2001. What makes this bottle special lies in its sophisticated production methods: a precise blend of 82% stainless steel fermentation and aging, 9% concrete vessels, and the remainder in neutral oak barrels. The combination creates a remarkable texture while avoiding overly buttery characteristics that sometimes turn people away from Chardonnay.The use of Burgundian Dijon clones rather than the California-standard Wente clones delivers a more European-inspired profile, while twice-monthly lees stirring introduces subtle creamy, nutty dimensions. The result? A juicy, fresh, and vibrant Chardonnay with excellent acidity and impressive length that keeps the flavors developing across your palate. This versatile wine pairs beautifully with various foods and represents an exceptional introduction to the Stoller portfolio. Whether you find it on sale or pay full price, you're getting a meticulously crafted wine that dramatically outperforms its cost. In challenging economic times for the wine industry, gems like this make the hunt for great values all the more rewarding!

What were the key challenges and breakthroughs that shaped the BC and Ontario wine industries in the 1980s and 90s? What makes or breaks a new wine project, and why is finding the right vineyard often the most time-consuming step? What made Peter believe that Niagara-on-the-Lake could produce exceptional Chardonnay? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Ann Sperling & Peter Gamble. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks   Highlights What was Ann's best memory from growing up on the farm? When did Ann and Peter know that they wanted to work in the wine industry? How did Ann and Peter meet? What was the first bottle of wine Ann and Peter shared? How do Ann and Peter navigate their interwoven personal and professional lives? How do they negotiate professional disagreements, and who chooses the wine for dinner? What were the major challenges and opportunities in the BC and Ontario wine industry in the 1980s and 90s? In the early days, how did Peter envision the future of Ontario wines? What are some of the reasons certain vintages almost didn't make it into the bottle? What do you look for when considering a new project? What makes Ann and Peter different from the stereotypical flying winemakers? What were the signs that Niagara-on-the-Lake could produce exceptional Chardonnay? How has working on a small, focused vineyard impacted Ann and Peter's winemaking choices? Why must you suffer to make top-notch wines?   Key Takeaways It was in the early 80s in BC and maybe slightly before that in Ontario, that estate wineries became a thing. Prior to that, that meant there were a few really large wineries, not really making estate or single vineyards. Vineyards were a source of bulk wine for the most part. The hunt for the vineyard became a very important one. We looked at over 230 vineyards before we found one. I think everyone there was on the verge of giving up on this, thinking “Well, they're not really going to buy anything.” Because we'd get it to a certain stage, then we do soil analysis, and we weren't quite happy, or we talked to people who had made wine from the vineyard or something would come up, and we just wouldn't quite be where we wanted to be with the quality of the vineyard. I often work on the basis of paradigms, where I'll take a look at a wine sold throughout the world and say, you know, I think this could be done really well in this area. You know what it is you might be able to accomplish within the parameters that you have - the obvious things, the terroir, the exposures to soils, the temperatures in general.   About Ann Sperling & Peter Gamble Often referred to as the “power couple” of the Canadian wine industry, Peter Gamble and Ann Sperling have long pursued the pinnacles of wine quality in Canadian vineyards and wineries. Following her upbringing on her family's Okanagan Valley vineyard, Ann turned to the soil for the character and complexity of her wines. Acknowledged as a Canadian pioneer of organic and biodynamic viticulture, ‘terroir' was at the centre of her philosophy and she is renowned for her head winemaking roles at Malivoire, Southbrook, and Sperling Vineyards. Peter, a lifetime wine industry professional, has worked alongside Canada's most passionate winemakers to achieve greater heights with our finest appellation wines. Since 2000, Peter has provided expertise in ultra-premium winemaking operations, including: Stratus, Ravine, Benjamin Bridge and Lightfoot & Wolfville. With the purchase of a top-flight ancient Malbec planting in Mendoza, Argentina, in 2008, Ann and Peter broadened their winemaking activities, but Niagara remains their cherished home base. Current focus is on these Niagara projects: On Seven, Lailey and Stonebridge Vineyards and Dobbin Estate.         To learn more, visit https://www.nataliemaclean.com/342.

Wine importer Don Chigazola is back on California Wine Country with Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger, with newly arrived wines from Alto Adige.  His company Chigazola Merchants brings small lots of carefully selected wines from small family producers in many different regions of Italy. Steve Jaxon describes what he does as "...the coolest job in the world." Melissa Galliani is also with us in the studio today. Don begins by describing how he has recently expanded his activity into France, by applying the same model that they do to their business with Italian winemakers. They went to the Paris wine show, and they also spent some time visiting family winemakers in Provence. They met with four and they will definitely be importing from two of them. That will begin once the tariff situation settles down. Chigazola Merchants Don started traveling to Italy with his wife Debbie, visiting small hilltop towns, asking the locals about who made the best wine. He found a lot of great wine, and noticed that the quality of wines he found in Italy was not available here. So he figured out how to import wine from Italy, to sell directly to consumers. He needed three different licenses and eventually fulfilled all the requirements. California Wine Country is brought to you by Rodney Strong Vineyards and Davis Bynum Wines. In the first few years, Chigazola Merchants sold about 80% of their wine to local bars and restaurants, and 20% to individuals. That proportion has reversed now, since their wine club has grown so much. Today Don has brought some white wines from the Alto Adige region, where they grow grapes at very high altitude. The wines come out with high minerality and fresh acidity. The first are tasting a Riesling that arrived in California last February. This Riesling is bone dry. Dan Berger calls this wine the anti-Chardonnay. It's not so dry that it's austere. It has fresh clean aromatics and it goes with food. Melissa agrees that it tastes fresh and crisp. The Rieslings from this producer will age well. The second wine they taste is a Sylvaner, which is a dry white variety very different than the Riesling. Dan says it is oriented to delicate foods, as a delicate wine. It could go with halibut or sturgeon. Riesling is more aromatic, this wine is more minerally. Melissa suggests Teriyaki Sea Bass. These wines are all 2023s. The third wine is a varietal that if very difficult to find here in California called Kerner. It typically makes a little sweeter wine, a little bit like Gruner Veltliner. It has a nice balance between sugar and acid. It's a "porch pounder" says Dan. Meet the Producers There is a section on the Chigazola Merchants website called Our Producers where you can learn more about the families that produce the wines that Don imports. The fourth varietal tasted today is a Gewürtztraminer. Usually that is a sweet wine, but Dan describes this one as "succulent without being sweet." The label says 3g of residual sugar, which Dan calls "nothing." Dan says it's not an easy wine to make because you have to be in a really cold climate and know exactly when to pick the grapes. The producer makes a very small amount and sells most of it in their local village. Don got 10 cases. Dan Berger says it is the most amazing Gewürtztraminer he has ever tasted.

This episode features a conversation with Scott Neal, the winemaker and owner at Coeur de Terre Vineyard in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. Along with his wife Lisa, they crafted a humble 57 cases in their inaugural 2002 vintage but have grown to making over 6000 cases a year of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Syrah, and Sparkling wines from grapes grown on their estate vineyard in the McMinnville AVA. We talk a lot about geology in this episode because his wine style is focused on reflecting the time and place from which the grapes were grown by employing a gentle hand and allowing the grapes to express in their voice. In the vineyard, organic growing practices have been followed from the beginning in 1998 with a concentration on regenerative farming. The fun connection we discovered was that we both have roots in Minnesota - Scott grew up on a southern Minnesota farm from which he learned a strong work ethic as well as gained respect for the land and for the whims of Mother Nature. Scott, Lisa and their daughters, Abigail and Tallulah, live on the estate vineyard along with their dog Cici.

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

This is a “wow your friends” wine if there ever was one! Serve this wine, have them guess what it is, and then amaze them with your wine knowledge. Assyrtiko is sometimes called THE Greek wine - the most famous and iconic of Greek wines - and yet not enough people know about it or talk about it. Made for thousands of years, Assyrtiko is the rare white wine that keeps its wonderful acidity even though it is most often grown in warm climates. Keep that in mind, because you might start seeing it grown more and more as climate change impacts the wine industry. You can see this in the episode artwork, but on Santorini they use this cool technique where they train the vines to grow in circles, almost like a wreath, to protect it from the wind. What is also wonderful about this wine is that we found two great wines in this episode, and each was different from the other. One was more of a Chardonnay lover's wine, and the other more of a Sauvignon Blanc lover's wine. But both were worth seeking out.

Over at "The Wine Conversation", Sarah Kemp welcomes Jasper Morris MW, author of “Inside Burgundy” and the website www.insideburgundy.com, who takes a deep dive into Beaune, “the centre of the universe for wine lovers.” That small town is situated south of Dijon and has 20,000 inhabitants. The main grapes are Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. This is where you find the merchant houses, the best-known being, Bouchard Père et Fils, Louis Jadot, Louis Latour and Chanson Père et Fils. There are a few domaines, and Jasper cites Domaine de Croix as one to know.There are several Premier Crus, but no Grand Crus. The Premier Crus Jasper advises looking out for are Beaune Les Grèves, which he describes as a number-one classic. Also of note are Beaune Clos des Mouches, which produces both red and white, with the white being outstanding. Beaune Vignes Franches, Clos des Fèvres and Clos des Avaux also are recommended. There are not too many up-and-coming producers, but a name to watch is Baptiste Guyot.Beaune provides attractive value, with Premier Crus often selling at the same price as village Pommards. The red wines tend to be lighter-bodied than other appellations, beautifully perfumed and accessible. The whites from the hillsides are chiselled, whereas the wines from lower down, like Clos des Mouches, can be surprisingly rich. Jasper recommends the following vintages for drinking now: 2017 both red and white, 2020 for whites and 2019 for reds.Beaune is a great place to visit and the Cité du Vin on the outskirts of Beaune is highly recommended. For restaurants, Jasper is a fan of Maison du Colombier which has a good wine list, Ma Cusine and Caves Madeline. One place not to be missed is the Hospices de Beaune or Hôtel-Dieu, which was built in 1443 and is full of history. Every November the Hospices de Beaune auction takes place, with wine lovers being able to bid on barrels (288 bottles), with all proceeds going to charity.Jasper's obscure fact is that if you go down to Drouhin's cellars, you can see the remains of a Roman wall.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
