In this week's edition of Singletrack News, we break down a major development in the UK trail running scene after Ourea Events - the organizers behind races like Dragon's Back, Cape Wrath Ultra, and the Northern Traverse - announced they are ceasing trading, putting several iconic races in jeopardy and leaving athletes uncertain about the future of some of the sport's most ambitious point-to-point events.We also discuss confusion surrounding UTMB's new broadcast partnership with FloSports. After speculation online that UTMB races could move behind a paywall, organizers clarified that the UTMB Live stream will remain free, with FloSports serving as a simulcast partner in the United States.Elsewhere, we dig into UTMB's 2026 live broadcast schedule, which includes 10 races across the World Series - but notably excludes Golden Ticket events like Chianti and Canyons.We also cover:UTMB CEO Fabrice Perrin raising concerns about “ambush marketing” in trail runningThe debut of the Big Alta 100K in Marin HeadlandsPreviewing the Chianti by UTMB Golden Ticket battleCourtney Dauwalter lining up at Tenerife Blue Trail as an early season testNike recruiting ultrarunners for a 15-week research residency at the Nike Sports Research LabAnd our content picks of the week, including a conversation between Harry Styles and Haruki Murakami on how running fuels creativityPartners:Precision Fuel and Hydration - use code SINGLETRACK at checkout for 15% off your next orderNorda - check out the 005: the lightest, fastest, most stable trail racing shoe ever madeRaide - Making equipment for efficient human-powered movement in the mountains Janji - premium trail running apparelKodiak Cakes - my favorite oatmeal and pancakes Support the show
Send a textPerched above the village of Radda in Chianti, this tiny 12-acre estate is carved into steep hillsides at 1,050–1,200 feet, surrounded by forest and bathed in southeastern light. Ancient vines—mostly Sangiovese planted in 1967—dig deep into galestro clay and fractured alberese stone, yielding wines of striking tension and lift. #ertadiradda#chianticlassico#chianticlassico_brunello_loverCheck out the website: www.drinkingonthejob.com for great past episodes.

Fava beans and Chianti all round as Mick's picked Jonathan Demme's Oscars-dominating 1991 psychological horror. Or is it a thriller? Other questions addressed include: how's Hannah feeling about Scott Glenn; does the film have feminist credentials; what's with the stereotyping, and how much ham is simply too much ham for Jen's mum Cath?

Before her new show One Butthole After Another premieres at TO Sketchfest, Toronto comic Tiyawnda stops in to talk about her fervent love for Jonathan Demme's Oscar-winning horror procedural The Silence of the Lambs, starting with her first, entirely inappropriate experience of it. Your genial host Norm Wilner promises there is not a single Chianti joke in this entire episode.

Tobias und Michael sprechen über die Herzkammer der Toskana zwischen Florenz und Siena und ordnen DOCG, Classico, Riserva und Gran Selezione ein. Es geht um Sangiovese als Pflichtrebsorte, um Galestro und Alberese, um Rebellion und Super-Toskaner, um Gallo Nero und Qualitätsreform seit 1984.

In this week's edition of Singletrack News, Kilian Jornet announces he'll attempt the Western States–UTMB double in 2026, reviving a strategy some thought was fading from elite playbooks. We also examine Ironman's decision to ban in-race content creation, including smart glasses, GoPros, and phones. Is this about safety, competitive fairness, or the beginning of a broader shift in endurance sports culture? Could trail running follow?Elsewhere, we break down Abby Levine's analysis of the Western States 2026 field - including the surprising stat about back-to-back women's champions, the depth emerging from Golden Ticket races like Black Canyon and CCC, and what still remains up for grabs at Chianti and Canyons.Plus:Chuckanut announces a first-ever livestream in partnership with Mountain OutpostTransgrancanaria previewNike ACG's experimental “smallest backyard ultra” activation in MilanITRA's 2025 Women in Trail Running participation reportAravaipa launches The Cutoff film tourUTMB postpones its Puerto Vallarta event following regional unrestPartners:Precision Fuel and Hydration - use code SINGLETRACK at checkout for 15% off your next order (https://www.precisionhydration.com/planner/?utm_source=partner&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=singletrack)Norda - check out the 005: the lightest, fastest, most stable trail racing shoe ever made (https://nordarun.com/)Raide - Making equipment for efficient human-powered movement in the mountains (https://raideresearch.com/singletrack)Janji - premium trail running apparel (https://janji.com/pages/singletrack)Support the show

In this episode from Highclere Castle, I sit down with Nick Hopton to talk about his book, "Marma Mia," which begins as the story of buying and restoring a holiday house in an unspoiled part of Tuscany, the Maremma and becomes a wider family and personal journey. Nick shares how reading "A Year in Provence" during COVID while he was British Ambassador to Libya helped inspire him to write a feel-good book that encourages readers to discover lesser-known regions. We discuss his Foreign Office career and his approach to languages, including learning Arabic across postings such as Morocco, Yemen, Qatar and Libya, along with French, Italian, Spanish, some German, and some Farsi ahead of becoming ambassador to Iran after the 2015 nuclear deal and the reopening of the British embassy. Nick explains how a friend's suggestion to look beyond Chianti led serendipitously to the first house they viewed and ultimately boughtalongside the realities of renovating abroad: high costs, practical challenges, and the highs and lows of making a place work for family life. We also talk about his unexpected love of landscaping and working with a skilled digger operator he calls “Michelangelo,” the region's food, wine, local olive oil and its strong Tuscan accent. Nick recounts a memorable moment when a friend arrived with an armed escort and the town's mayor turned out to greet them, and he updates me on ongoing projects, including drilling a 97-meter well to reach a fresh aquifer. Looking ahead, Nick describes writing best in the relative isolation of the Italian house and shares his interest in writing more broadly about the Mediterranean, linked to his role creating a new program at the University of Cambridge Centre for Geopolitics. We touch on the Napoleonic history of the area, including the principality of Piombino and Lucca and Napoleon's sister Elisa and end with a playful question about a dream dance guest Nick chooses Dante's Beatrice, reflecting his early love of Dante's poetry and its lifelong influence.00:00 Meet Nick Hopton & the book ‘Marma Mia' (restoring a house in Italy)00:50 Inspired by ‘A Year in Provence': writing a feel-good travel memoir during COVID01:59 Diplomatic life & learning languages: Arabic, French, Italian (and more)04:26 Why you should speak the local language (even with bad grammar)05:17 Falling for Tuscany's Maremma: the serendipitous house-buying story07:42 Renovation reality: highs, lows, and why the Maremma stays authentic08:44 Landscaping obsession: diggers, Kubotas, and ‘Michelangelo' the operator11:05 Food, wine & dialect: tomatoes, olive oil, and the Tuscan accent12:49 Small-town surprises: the ambassador friend visit and the mayor's welcome13:43 The work never ends: is the villa project ever really finished?14:01 Digging a 97m Well & the Never-Ending House Project14:27 What's Next After the Book: A Wider Mediterranean Focus14:58 Seeing the Mediterranean Holistically (Cambridge Geopolitics & Trade Routes)16:26 Duff Cooper, John Julius Norwich & Highclere's Colorful Guests17:20 Writing Habits: Tuscany, Isolation, Rhythm & Beating Procrastination18:37 Italy, Maremma & Napoleonic History: Elisa and the Principality of Piombino and Lucca20:30 Diplomatic Postings & Reopening the UK Embassy in Iran (2015)23:09 Iran Today: Regime Weakness, Protests, and a Hope to Visit the Cradle of Civilization24:21 Highclere's Library, the Book Club, and a Shared Love of Italy25:27 Finale: The Summer Dance Fantasy Guest—Dante, Beatrice & Vita NovaYou can hear more episodes of Lady Carnarvon's Official Podcasts at https://www.ladycarnarvon.com/podcast/New episodes are published on the first day of every month.

Sangiovese does not just reveal terroir. It reveals the winemaker. In Episode 86 of Read Between the Wines, Pierre Ferland sits down with Federico Cerelli, head winemaker at Castello di Gabbiano, one of Chianti Classico's most historic estates, to unpack what freshness, drinkability, and "modern classicism" really mean in Tuscany today. From Federico's first move at Gabbiano in 2011 (taste the past, then rebuild the future) to a masterclass on three distinct vineyard zones, you will hear how soil, wind, and microclimate shape Sangiovese into radically different personalities, from bold and structured to mineral and quietly elegant. They dive into oak without the theatre: fewer barriques, more large casks, and a rare local oak experiment that rewinds history without becoming nostalgic. Add climate chaos, the Chianti vs Chianti Classico misconception, and the "drink less, drink better" shift, and you have an episode built for wine lovers who want truth, not gloss. Chianti Classico. Tuscany. Sangiovese. No nonsense.

In honor of the 35th anniversary of The Silence of the Lambs (1991), we're releasing special retro coverage of the film. This commissioned podcast is brought to you by the generosity of one Aaron Spaulding, thank you! Aaron wanted us to check out the 1991 mystery/thriller, "The Silence of the Lambs", directed by Jonathan Demme and starring Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster. It's no surprise that we're mesmerized by Hopkin's performance of the chilling yet suave and charming Dr. Hannibal Lecter, and found the film offered some smart commentary on a female breaking into a male dominated space as well. What might be to some surprise is Jim and A.Ron's relative unfamiliarity with the material, which led to some confusion in places. Hope you enjoy the podcast, I hear it pairs well with a nice Chianti. Hey there!

Quando Alessandra, giovane tassista senese, scompare durante il suo primo turno notturno, nessuno riesce a darsi una spiegazione. Il suo corpo verrà ritrovato nel taxi di suo zio, il Siena 22, in una stradina nei pressi del cimitero di Castellina in Chianti, con le mani legate dietro lo schienale e segni di strangolamento. Non ci sono piste importanti né un movente chiaro e il caso resterà un mistero irrisolto per oltre trent'anni. Questa è la storia di Alessandra Vanni.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of the most celebrated movies of all time, Silence of the Lambs (1991) redefined the psychological drama. From taking you into the mind of a serial criminal to enhancing the fear and tension of a criminal hunt, this movie defined how crime drama would be told.

Today we welcome the #1 Trail Runners of the Year, Jim Walmsley and Katie Schide, both Americans who currently reside in France. This is the second time each has won our prestigious award and they've both been featured all four years of TROY's existence. Jim's season was anything but straight forward. He started with a big win at Chianti by UTMB in the spring before an injury prevented him from defending his win at the Western States 100. Luckily, he bounced back in a big way, winning OCC in August and then the Long Trail World Championship in September - the second individual gold medal of his career. On the other hand, Katie is crowned TROY for the second year in a row. She started with a win at Madeira Island Ultra Trail before winning and setting a new course record at the Hardrock 100 in July. Only three weeks later she was second at Sierre-Zinal before winning the Long Trail World Championship in September. This episode is part of Freetrail's annual Trail Runner of the Year Rollout -- an opportunity to reflect on the 2025 season and celebrate the athletes who performed the best according to the global trail running community.

Etna Rosso is sometimes referred to as the “Burgundy of the Mediterranean” and for good reason. This wine, made on the slopes of Mt. Etna in Sicily from the grape Nerello Mascalese, is a serious gastronomic wine, loved by sommeliers and wine nerds for its complexity, depth, acidity, and firm tannic structure. While it is not quite at the level of demand as Barolo, Brunello, or Aglianico, just give it some time. Nerello Mascalese is an up-and-coming grape whose parentage includes Sangiovese - that's right, the same grape in Brunello and Chianti - and it makes powerful wines that have a lot of aging potential. In fact, we thought both of the wines we tasted and reviewed in this episode could age for a while before they are truly at their prime, and need some good decanting to really open-up. Plus, if you are a White Lotus fan and remember the season where they were in Sicily, in one of the episodes they went to a winery and drank Etna Rosso and Etna Bianco (which just happens to be the subject of our episode next week!).

Season three of Wine Access Unfiltered was never about turning you into a sommelier — it was about helping you become a more confident, curious, and intentional wine buyer. In this solo finale, Amanda revisits the biggest ideas and “aha” moments from the season, from why asking better questions is the most powerful wine skill you can develop, to how importers can be your greatest shortcut to finding wines you'll actually love. Pouring a classic Chianti, Amanda reflects on where value really lives in the wine world, why popularity often drives price more than quality, and how buying wine that fits your life — not someone else's rules — leads to better bottles and more enjoyment. Whether you're catching up, revisiting favorite lessons, or setting intentions for the year ahead, this episode is your reminder that wine doesn't belong to gatekeepers. It belongs to you.

Chianti Classico é um dos vinhos mais reconhecidos do mundo — e seu símbolo, o Gallo Nero, é tão marcante quanto a própria Sangiovese. Mas como um simples galo se tornou o emblema oficial de um dos rótulos mais tradicionais da Toscana? Neste vídeo, exploramos a origem histórica dessa marca, a rivalidade medieval entre Florença e Siena e como uma lenda surpreendente moldou a identidade do Chianti que conhecemos hoje.Ao longo do episódio, revisitamos a formação da DOCG Chianti Classico, a atuação da antiga Lega del Chianti e o papel do Consorzio moderno na preservação desse patrimônio cultural. Também abordamos o que torna o Chianti um vinho tão característico, suas cidades produtoras e por que o Gallo Nero permanece um símbolo de autenticidade e qualidade.Você vai ver neste vídeo:•

Each episode comedians Phil Green and David Ferguson invite a guest to pick their favourite myth or conspiracy and then try to prove it, debunk it or neither as they don't really know anything. In this episode we're joined by comedian Currer Ball to decide once and for all if Die Hard is a Christmas movie or just a movie set at Christmas. Other important topics covered are 12 Angry Men, 80s vegetarian food and Chianti with cranberry sauce.Follow us on Insta @believepodFollow us on TikTok @believepodWatch on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjuo0VrCkERhsntEG_IDjNwEmail us believeconspiracypod@gmail.comFollow Currer @currerballFollow Phil @philgreencomedyFollow David @lovedavidfergusonSee Phil's live shows https://linktr.ee/philgreencomedySee David's live shows https://linktr.ee/lovedavidferguson Hosted on Acast.

In this festive episode, Janina sits down with Duncan Gammie, founder of The Wee Vinoteca, to build the ultimate Christmas Wine Box. Together they explore pairings for classic holiday dishes, taste through six standout bottles, and unpack why English fizz, Greek Assyrtiko and South African Chenin Blanc belong at your Christmas table this year. Shownotes [01:37] The Christmas Pairing Game begins - smoked salmon, prawn cocktail, Stilton, roast turkey, roast beef, nut roast, mince pies, sticky toffee pudding and panettone - what are the perfect wine pairings? [21:45] Duncan shares his background, how The Wee Vinoteca started, which recently won Wine Club of the Year from IWC. [24:26] Introducing the Christmas Wine Box - six wines designed to cover the entire holiday table with versatility and balance. [24:48] Black Chalk Classic Cuvée – English Sparkling Wine (Hampshire, UK) Duncan explains chalk soils, vintage differences, and why English sparkling has become a staple for holiday starters, seafood and celebrations. [29:04] Visiting English vineyards - where to go. [31:35] Muses Estates, Assyrtiko (mainland Greece) A structured, saline white that handles seafood, richer starters and vegetable dishes. Duncan compares mainland Assyrtiko with Santorini, discussing old vines, wild ferments and gastronomy pairings. [37:45] The conversation widens to Greek grapes and styles – Assyrtiko, Xinomavro, Savatiano, Roditis and today's fresher, high-quality Retsina – with advice on discovering them by the glass or in tastings. [39:20] Brookdale, Old Vine Chenin Blanc (Paarl, South Africa) Why Chenin shines at Christmas: texture, generosity, acidity and ageing potential. References to producers like Lismore and stylistic comparisons to white Burgundy. [43:40] Roccafiore, Sangiovese (Umbria, Italy) Fresh Italian red ideal for antipasti, turkey and Boxing Day dishes. Duncan highlights its balance and easy versatility and contrasts Sangiovese from this inland region with Chianti and explaining how Umbrian Sangiovese offers softer tannins and great value. And discussing Sagrantino grape. [47:51] Hey Diddle, Malbec/Cabernet Sauvignon (Claire Valley, Australia) Discussing the Claire Valley, and what is happening in this region, alongside practical tips on opening bottles sealed with wax. [51:54] Diatominist, Pedro Ximénez (Jerez, Spain) Explaining how PX sits within the broader (and sometimes confusing) Sherry styles and why this luscious, nutty, treacle-like dessert wine blows people's minds at Christmas fairs. [57:17] Duncan and Janina note that PX is usually perfect in small pours, talk about visiting Montilla-Moriles near Córdoba, and tempt listeners with the idea of tapas-hopping through a city that boasts four UNESCO World Heritage Sites. [57:46] Asked which wine he always opens at Christmas that isn't necessarily in the box, Duncan admits it's English fizz – a sparkling wine he and his wife love and a non-negotiable part of their celebrations.

This week on The Horror Café Podcast, Eryka and Jackie dive into the chilling world of The Silence of the Lambs. FBI trainee Clarice Starling is sent to interview Dr. Hannibal Lecter — a brilliant psychiatrist, cannibal, and all-around nightmare dinner guest — to help catch another killer on the loose.It's a psychological cat-and-mouse game that redefined horror thrillers and made everyone think twice about fava beans and Chianti.So grab your headphones (and maybe skip lunch) — this is one conversation you can't unhear.Join our Discord here!
Hi there, happy Thursday! Recording this week's episode with John Bersani reminded me why I started Salt + Spine in the first place: to sit down with a cookbook author and glimpse their world. We're often recording in studio—or more often these days, virtually—and it's easy to miss the small details that make these conversations so alive.But there's something grounding about being welcomed into someone's home kitchen, hearing their stories as the dog runs past or a family member checks in to ask when we're leaving for lunch. It was a real treat to join John and his family for an afternoon in Chianti. And while recording al fresco may not have produced the crispest audio, it offered something you can't replicate in a studio: an honest glimpse into a life built around food, friendship, and place.I hope you enjoy our chat:The first thing I notice at John Bersani's home in Gaiole in Chianti is the view. I'm so enamored by the rolling hills dotted with vines and olive trees that I miss the driveway. Finally, I find the right entryway, am greeted by John, and we settle next to the pool to record our conversation. A lifelong cook and host, John built a career in business before turning toward what truly grounded him: food and community. His cookbook—20 Amici 40 Ricette: Twenty Friends, Forty Recipes—is not a chef's manifesto or a guide to Tuscan cuisine, but a love letter to the community he and his family have made there. Each chapter introduces a friend who's shaped his life in Italy, paired with one or two recipes that carry the imprint of that relationship.In our conversation, John talks about growing up in an Italian-American family in Syracuse, New York, where Sundays smelled like simmering sauce. He recalls his grandparents' small-town kitchens and the rituals that endured even after they left their old neighborhood for the suburbs. And he reflects on the years spent straddling two identities—American and Italian—and learning to see his adopted home from both sides of the table.We talk, too, about the rules of Italian cooking and how to bend them. About why Tuscan bread is famously unsalted. About the importance of shopping well. About how the right techniques transform a simple pasta into something magical.
On today's episode presented by NOBO Dispensary & Meraki Cannabis, we are talking all things juice. From the Hills of Tuscany to the heart of Denver, Festa del Chianti Classico is set to transform the Mile High City into a celebration of one of Italy's most iconic wine regions. We sat down with the Queen of Chianti, Carlin Karr of Frasca Hospitality Group to talk all about this year's festivities... from trade tastings to sit down suppers with the winemakers, this episode and festivity is not to be missed.After tuning in to the pod, hop on the interweb superhighway and grab your tickets to join the fun! Also, if you have been convinced to jog against your will, email Kip@stoned-appetit.com and together, we can stop this torturous behavior (kidding, we love Bobby no matter what hobbies he keeps)
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.

This week, the guys pop open the 2021 Tenuta di Renieri Chianti Classico Riserva. A $25 bottle that James Suckling stamped with 95 points. The question, does that score really hold up?Along the way we dig into what separates Chianti Classico from the rest of Chianti, the rules behind Riserva and Gran Riserva, and why the black rooster on the label actually matters.We also roll out our brand-new game Viterations, where this Riserva gets reimagined as a car, a cheese, and even an Italian speedo.Looking for a solid Sangiovese that won't empty your wallet?

On the heels of my trip with a group of Patrons to Campania, I wanted to do a show on Taurasi while it was still fresh in my mind. Taurasi, a small (472 ha / 1,166 acres) DOCG region, is indisputably one of Italy's greatest red wines along with Barolo, Barbaresco, Brunello, Chianti, Vino Nobile, and Montefalco Sagrantino. Taurasi, made of the ancient Aglianico grape, is in Campania, more specifically in hills northeast of Irpinia/Avellino and is centered around the town of Taurasi, a small town with a 10th-century castle that was rebuilt by the Normans. Over the 17 towns within the denomination soils and altitudes range dramatically. Higher altitudes create complex, more acidic styles due to a longer growing season with great diurnal swings. Towns with more clay create extremely tannic wines, while those with sand have certain warmth and fruitiness that makes them easy to drink in their youth. There are a multitude of styles and, with soils in the region layered like a lasagna, the flavors you get from the Aglianico grape depend largely on the site on which it grows. Aglianico is a misunderstood grape, as is Taurasi as a wine. Aglianico is a red with complex, terroir driven flavors of dark fruit, red fruit, spice, black pepper notes, and excellent acidity and tannin. Taurasi, made from a biotype of Aglianico that is particularly dark-skinned, small berried and flavorful makes exquisite wines that have the aging capability of a Barolo or Bordeaux. The grape translates the terroir into the bottle and both where the grapes grow and who makes the wine determines the style – it's an area you could explore for ages and keep discovering new expressions of Aglianico. In fact, Taurasi is called the “Barolo of the South” for nuance and depth of flavor, and variation of its terroir. In this show I cover the extensive history of the region, with all its ups and downs, the climate, altitudes, and land and then discuss the expression of the Aglianico grape and why it makes such fascinating wines. If you haven't had a Taurasi, get on it. Vis a vis other top wines, it is insanely affordable (top wines are less than US$100) and it is a wine that will hold your interest with every sip! Certainly for its history and for its quality, Taurasi is one of the great wines of the world. Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon.

Before we dive into today's episode, I want to take a moment to acknowledge a significant event that has touched millions around the world. Earlier this week, we learned of the passing of Pope Francis. His leadership, compassion, and unwavering commitment to faith and service left an indelible mark not only on the Catholic Church but also on the global community. Whether you are a person of faith or simply someone who values the impact of a life dedicated to service, his legacy reminds us of the power of humility, hope, and unity. Our thoughts are with all those mourning this loss. May he rest in peace.Welcome back to Beats, Vines & Life!

Bobby shares stories of his family's culinary legacy, travel tales with his daughter Stella, and reflections on how Italian wine and food are inextricably linked.This lively conversation takes listeners on a tour through the heart of Italian wine country, exploring regions like Marche, Umbria, Lazio, and, of course, Tuscany. Expect a blend of vivid wine tasting notes, behind-the-scenes anecdotes from the restaurant world, and plenty of laughs as MJ and Bobby dig into everything from the rise of Super Tuscans to the quirks of American wine marketing.Whether you're a seasoned oenophile or just looking to expand your palate, you'll love this journey through Italy's central vineyards—served with side dishes of history, family, and a slice of real-life food and wine culture.

I think people are feeling a bit of a worry about the economy worldwide, so I thought I'd make some suggestions for inexpensive wines that taste like expensive ones! Almost every wine is below $18, although I put under $20 in the title because it seemed punchier! I did lots of research to make sure these were way below US$20 in markets across the US and around the world. For inclusion in the list they had to be great wines that I would buy even if they weren't such great values (and with tariffs, they will be less good values, but still inexpensive). These are wines I drink regularly. Even though there are inexpensive versions of some wines (Fiano, Chianti, etc), I did not include them because I don't think the inexpensive versions of those are good enough. This list is the cream of the crop below $20. For each wine I discuss the background, the flavors, and why they are inexpensive (in case you are suspicious!). Some wines included: Picpoul, Crémant de Loire, Côtes de Bordeaux and Argentinean Malbec from Cafayate (different from Mendoza) Enjoy the list! Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon.

Care for a glass of Chianti or Bordeaux after recent market volatility? It'll cost ya. After a tense few weeks, President Donald Trump announced a 20% tariff on all EU goods, including wine. While you might think that U.S. producers would be cheering, domestic wineries and wine shops are worried. Plus, there's an ongoing tug-of-war in the bond market, and there's a rally on Capitol Hill today over cuts to humanitarian aid.

She shares her experience at Big Alta, where she had to adjust her expectations and race strategy, understanding that her priorities have shifted, but her love for running remains strong. Keely's reflections offer a candid look at the complexities of pursuing big goals in both medicine and athletics, emphasizing the importance of flexibility and realistic expectations when juggling demanding careers and athletic pursuits.

This week I take a fresh look at European Classification Systems, going into detail on the history of how and why they evolved, what the current EU scheme is based on, and what the major wine nations' systems are structured (and how they differ from what the EU would like them to look like!). I discuss: How Europe classified its wines to protect the names of specific products and link them to their place of origin, to the benefit of consumers and producers. A history of wine classifications from the monks in medieval Burgundy to the winemakers of Tokaj in the 1600s to Chianti, Port, and Bordeaux in the 1700s and 1800s. A detailed look at the evolution of the French classification system. I go through the steps that the French took to prevent fraud, protect the origin of their wines, and ultimately create the system off which the EU system is based. I address the EU system with its two main categories: -Wine without a geographic origin (table wine) -Wine with a geographic origin: Protected Geographical Indication (PGI): At least 85% of the grapes used have to come exclusively from the geographical area where the wine is actually made. These wines cover large areas, and a lot of grapes and winemaking methods are permitted. There is only a minor influence of place of origin Protected Designation of Origin (PDO): Every part of the production, processing and preparation process must take place in the specific region. Grapes have to come exclusively from the geographical area where the wine is made. Origin and terroir are essential to the identity of the wine. Then I review the major countries' classification categories France: Vin de France=Table wine IGP, indication géographique protégée (PGI) AOP=appellation d'origine protégée, often called AOC (contrôlée) (PDO) Italy: Vino=Table Wine IGP=indicazione geografica protetta, producers frequently use the old IGT = indicazione geografica tipica (PGI) DOC = denominazione di origine controllata (PDO) DOCG = denominazione di origine controllata e garantita (PDO) DOP = denominazione di origine protetta, the new name, conforming to the EU standard that includes DOC and DOCG. DOP is rarely used (PDO) Spain: Vino de España=Table wine IGP / VT = indicación geográfica protegida, usually called vino de la tierra (VT) (PGI) VC = vino de calidad con indicación geográfica (PDO) DO (DOP) = denominación de origen, sometimes called DOP (PDO) DOCa = denominación de origen calificada (PDO) VP = vino de pago (PDO) Germany Deutscher Wein =Table wine Landwein =PGI Qualitätswein (also called Qba from the 13 regions, PDO) Prädikatswein – Prädikat means special attribute and refers to the ripeness of the grapes and the type of harvest.
