Tonight we will each do a blind tasting. We will talk about our thoughts and the decisions we make regarding the two wines we taste. We will use the Five-S's. They stand for;SightSwirlSniffSipSavorWe start our tasting by looking at the wine. We hold the glass tilted at a 45-degree angle and view the wine over a white sheet of paper. We look at the rim of the wine. What is the color? Are there differences in the color? Can I see through the wine?Next, we swirl the wine and look at how it attaches to the side of the glass. Does it swirl like skim milk or cream? If it looks like skim milk, it is a light-bodied wine; if it is the consistency of cream, it is a full-bodied wine. We sniff the wine.After swirling the glass to get some air in the wine, we will stick our nose right in the glass and sniff. Swirling releases aromas. What is the first smell? Fruit, vanilla, earthiness? Sip the wine and allow it to cover the mouth. Hold it in the mouth a few seconds before swallowing. Some people like to draw in some air while the wine is in the mouth. Lastly, savor the wine and get any final impressions.Tonight, the two wines we ended up tasting was; 2019 Chateau Ste Michelle from Columbia Valley, Washington. It was purchased from Costco for $23.99. Notes of blackberries, dark cherries, vanilla, mocha, and spice. Although it is a very dark wine, it has bright acidity and herbal notes, with a touch of minerality.2018 St Francis Old Vine Zinfandel from Sonoma County. This wine was purchased for around $15.00 from Costco. It undergoes malolactic fermentation in French-oak barrels followed by 15 months of aging. 20% of the barrels are new. Aromas of wild blackberry and sasparilla. Flavors of dark chocolate, minty notes, finishes with black tea and muddled berries. We recommend both of these wines.Next week we are tasting three Tempranillos:2022 MonteToro 5. The wine comes from the Bodegas Ramon Ramos Toro and was purchased at WineStyles for $21.00. 2018 Lucia Victoria Rioja Reserva. A $7.00 bottle of wine from Costco. 2021 Two Mountain Winery Tempranillo. We purchased the wine from Winestyles for around $22.00.

Küste und Wüste, Lavafelder und Regenwälder, Weinberge und Wasserfälle, malerische Küstenorte und eine hippe Metropole: All das und noch viel mehr vereint Oregon. Der Bundesstaat im Nordwesten der USA, zwischen Kalifornien und Washington State am Pazifik gelegen, ist für einen Road Trip wie geschaffen. Also bitte einsteigen bei Susanne Schmitt! Die USA-Expertin, die den Beaver State seit 25 Jahren regelmäßig bereist und wie ihre Westentasche kennt, nimmt uns mit auf eine Rundreise von Portland zur Küste, runter gen Süden, über die Cascade Mountains in die Hochwüste und ins Hochgebirge und zurück durch das Columbia Valley. Meine-Reise-Gastgeber Holger Jacobs hat allen Grund zu staunen über die Superlative: tiefster See und zweithöchster Wasserfall der USA, größte Buchhandlung und größtes Lichtschutzgebiet der Welt, eine Schlucht tiefer als der Grand Canyon – das alles gibt es ebenso zu entdecken wie ein Windsurfrevier auf einem Fluss, „Familien“ von Imbisswagen, Übernachtungen im Tipi und mehr als 170 Jahre alte Planwagenspuren auf dem Oregon Trail. Als Zugabe gibt es O-Töne von einem Sandboarding-Trainer, einem Häuptling und einer Recycling-Künstlerin. Kurzweiliger kann ein Podcast nicht sein! Klingt spannend? Ist es auch. Am besten gleich reinhören in die aktuelle Folge von Meine Reise USA!

Text the ShowFire and ice formed the geology of the Columbia Valley and much of Oregon. Knowing this history is key to understanding the uniqueness of these areas as wine regions. Invest 10 minutes in the story of fire and ice.

In today's episode, Shelley and Phil celebrate their 250th episode! 250 weeks without ever missing a week! Less than 3% of active podcasts ever hit the 200th episode. We're very proud of that. So much so that we're opening two amazing wines from a winery that is brand new to us, Dineen Vineyards! Both of these are on the shelves at Pilgrim's Market and both taste like wines you'd pay at least double for! #HappyFriday! #ItsWineTime! #Cheersing Wines this episode:2023 Dineen Vineyards Condriesque ($28 at Pilgrim's Market)

This is the weekly columnWine labels and wine reviews may include various references to wine blending. Some are specific and informative. Others are distinctions without a difference. Let's explore the most common blending terms.• Blend. Broadest term. It includes combining various fruits or vinifications to create, develop, or enhance a wine using more than one grape variety and/or vintage. It includes growing and fermenting different varieties together, blending grapes immediately after or years after harvest, combining various vintages, combining wines fermented using different yeast clones, fermenting techniques, and aging regimens.• Field blend. Mixture of varieties that are grown, harvested, and fermented together.• Non-vintage. Involves blending grapes from different years. This is designed to reduce vagaries of different vintages to produce wine true to a distinct house style, ensuring consumers they will enjoy a consistent experience. Non-vintage is very common in Champagnes, Porto, and sherry. It can include blending of different varieties, but also a single variety from different vintages.• Assemblage. Blending of vinified wines before bottling. This term often is used in Bordeaux and Champagne. Term may have been coined by 17th-century monk-winemaker Dom Pérignon.• Marriage. Synonym for assemblage. A combination of wines blended before bottling.• Meritage. Portmanteau created to designate high-quality American wines that pay homage to Bordeaux blends. It combines “merit” and “heritage” and rhymes with “heritage.” It is not a French word with the pronunciation of the last syllable sounding like “garage.” Red meritage must be a blend of at least two varieties—cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc, malbec, petit verdot, St. Macaire, gros verdot, or carmenère. White meritage must be a blend of at least two varieties—sauvignon blanc, sémillon, or muscadelle du Bordelais. American winemakers must follow strict guidelines to use the term.• Cuvée. All-purpose term with no regulated definition. A cuvée is wine made from a blend of different grapes, vineyards, or vintages. Basically, another word for blend.• Coupage. Another synonym for assemblage, except can have a negative connotation when it describes a wine were other wines were added just to increase the quantity of the wine.Tasting notes• M.

Greenwing Columbia Valley Cabernet In this episode, Rob and Scott review the budget entry Cabernet from Duckhorn's portfolio, the Greenwing Columbia Valley Cabernet.  So come join us, on The Wine Vault.

Tonight we are exploring Merlot wines. Merlot normally has a nose of red plum and cherry in cooler climates to blackberry and baked fruits in warmer climates, with notes of vanilla and spice from oak aging. As it ages, you will get notes of chocolate, meatiness, and tobacco.Merlot is smooth compared to its half-sibling Cabernet Sauvignon. The warmer the region it is grown, the smoother the tannins, higher the alcohol and body, and the darker the fruit flavors.Tonight, we are enjoying two Merlots: 2020 Monterra, Merlot. Purchased at Trader Joe's for $6.99. This wine comes from Monterey, CA. Cellar Tracker says “Not too shabby for a $7 wine”. Many reviews said aromas of cocoa and floral. Tastes of cherry cola, plum, chocolate. Soft tannins and fruit forward. Alki 2018 Merlot. This wine was purchased at Costco for $14.99. The wine comes from the Columbia Valley, WA. 90 rating from the Wine Enthusiast. Aromas of Caramel, vanilla, spice, and brooding black cherry. Luscious but well-balanced fruit and oak flavors follow and unfold in equal measure from start to finish.Next week we will have a totally blind tasting. Dennis will pick out a wine for Denise and she will pick out a wine for Dennis. We will go through the tasting process.

Tonight we explore Champagne. Champagne can be made from any one or combination of the following three grape varieties; Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, or Pinot Meunier.Champagne is normally not a vintage wine and is made from juice of different years. Tonight we have broken into Denise's private Stache and will enjoy her favorite Champagne to celebrate our final episode of 2024. Tonight, we are enjoying a Champagne: Pol Roger. We purchased this wine from Costco for $64.99. This champagne has a golden straw color, fine bubbles, and a powerful nose with aromas of pear, mango, honeysuckle, and white jasmine. It has cooked fruit flavors, such as quince jelly and apricot jam, with hints of beeswax and acacia honey cardamom. The finish is long-lasting with notes of candied orange peel, tangerine, , and anis. Next week we will enjoy Merlot wines: Alki 2018 Merlot. This wine was purchased at Costco for $14.99.

Sybille in drei Worten erklärt, wäre: Bodenhaftung, Beständigkeit und Begeisterung. Da sind sie wieder, die drei großen „B's“, die eigentlich zum Rüstzeug eines Sommeliers oder einer Sommelière gehören sollten, über die aber nur sehr wenige verfügen. Doch Sybille Bultmann hat sich diese zu eigen gemacht und strahlt mit ihnen oder durch diese eine natürliche Ruhe aus, die auch andere beruhigt – selbst wenn die Welt um sie herum chaotisch ist. Ihre Worte sind bedacht, ihre Taten zielgerichtet, und ihre Präsenz wirkt wie ein Anker. Sie ist verlässlich, unabhängig davon, wie widrig die Umstände sind. Vielleicht ist es ihr großartiges Wissensfundament, vielleicht ihre tiefe innere Stärke, die nicht auf Lautstärke oder Dominanz beruht, sondern auf Besonnenheit und Weisheit. Sybille verbindet moderne Ansprüche mit traditionellen Werten. Ihre Arbeit ist nicht nur Business, sondern auch Herz und Liebe – für den Wein, für die Menschen, für das Erlebnis von Genuss. Im Restaurant, wo Essen und Trinken zu einer Kunstform verschmelzen, sorgt sie dafür, dass jede Flasche zu einem Highlight wird, das den Moment unvergesslich macht. Sie versteht die Beziehung zwischen Winzer und Gast und zeigt, wie der Lifestyle, den Wein verkörpert, sich immer wieder neu erfinden kann. Ihre Leidenschaft ist ansteckend, ihre Gelassenheit inspirierend. Ob man eine neue Weinreise beginnt oder bereits ein erfahrener Genießer ist, bei Sybille fühlt man sich sicher, verstanden und akzeptiert. Sie vermittelt nicht nur Wissen, sondern ein Gefühl: die Freude am Leben und am Wein, das Gleichgewicht zwischen Tradition und Modernität. Mit Sybille ist Genuss mehr als ein Wort – es wird greifbar. Der gastronomische Alltag ist oft hektisch, die Weinwelt lebendig. Doch um Sybille herum scheint es geordnet, organisiert und fundiert – gleich einer Ruheinsel inmitten eines Sturms. Hier spürt man, dass Genuss nicht nur eine Frage des Geldes ist, sondern eine Frage der Haltung. Absolut perfekt, damit andere Ruhe in ihrem Alltag finden können und der Wein nicht nur zum Essen passt, sondern zu den Geschichten, die wir erzählen.

Dennis and Denise have a budget-friendly show tonight, with each wine costing less than $10. Also, see if you can catch ten references to different songs.Tonight we will have a Picpoul from the South of France. This is a new wine for us. Picpoul (Pronounced peek–pool) Means "stings the lips" is grown mostly in the Languedoc in southern France around the Mediterranean. It was rewarded its own AOC in 2013, and its popularity has grown considerably in the past 15 years. This wine pairs great with seafood or spicey dishes or for a summer sipper. Our second wine is from the Columbia Valley in Washington. This is the State's largest wine region. It is an arid region that receives lots of sunshine during the growing season (more than Napa Valley). It also has some cooler weather that gives the grapes good acidity.Our final wine is a Le Grand Noir Chardonnay from France. This is a PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) wine from the Pays D'Oc. The wine is a 85% Chardonnay and 15% Viognier blend. Unlike other French wines, PGI wines are allowed to list the variety of grape. Tonight, our three wines include:2023 Foncastel Picpoul De Pinet, purchased at Trader Joe's for $8.99. Reverse Wine Snob rated it a buy. It has 13% alcohol. Mostly citrus on the nose. Lemon and lime smell. Palate is more acidic and also has some salinity. 2022 Pacific Rim Riesling, we purchased at Costco for $7.89. The wine comes from the Columbia Valley in Washington. The Wine Enthusiast rated it a 90. The grapes are picked early, so has good acid and then bottled with 25.2 g/l of residual sugar. Pairs well with with spicey Asian or Mexican food. 2022 Le Grand Noir Chardonnay. We purchased this wine from Costco for $9.99. It is made with 85% Chardonnay and 15% Viogneir. 30% of the Chardonnay spends sometime in French and American Oak. The wine maker said they wanted to make a lightly oaked Chardonnay that was drinkable alone and pairs well with food. Pair with seafood or white meats. Wine Enthusiast rated it a 92 and gave it a "Best Buy".Next week we will have something a little different. It's Denise's birthday, and to celebrate, we will have ice wine and birthday cake. The two wines we will taste include: 2023 North Wind Vidal Ice Wine. We purchased it at Costco for $19.99. NV Cooper's Hawk Lux Ice Wine that was purchased at Cooper's Hawk for $29.99.

For Episode 63 of Read Between the Wines, we journey to the heart of Sonoma County, California, to meet Mark Beaman, head winemaker at Kenwood Vineyards. Known for its heritage and deep connection to the land, Kenwood is celebrated for crafting wines that reflect the unique terroir of Sonoma, including its exclusive use of fruit from the iconic Jack London Ranch. In this episode, Mark delves into the rich history of Kenwood Vineyards, established in 1970, and its commitment to sustainability and tradition. He explores how Sonoma's diverse terroir and the cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean shape the character of its wines, with a particular focus on the estate's renowned Cabernet Sauvignons. Listeners will hear about Mark's fascinating career journey, from his upbringing on a farm in the Pacific Northwest to his time in the Peace Corps in Tanzania and his early winemaking days in Washington's Columbia Valley. This episode offers a blend of storytelling, winemaking expertise, and a deep dive into the art of crafting wines that evolve with time. Join us for an inspiring conversation with a winemaker who is as passionate about the land as he is about the wines he creates.  We offer BONUS materials for this episode including a Master Class from Mark Beaman of wine barrels.

Sip the rich flavors of Washington's Columbia Valley and unravel the complexities of healthcare and cybersecurity with us, as Christopher Logan, our wine-loving colleague, brings both his palate and expertise to the table. While our glasses brim with the notes of a peppery red blend, we'll transition from the lighthearted art of wine tasting to the sobering challenges facing Americans in the healthcare sector. From the rising costs that send individuals to food pantries to the chilling tales of insurance fraud, we traverse a gamut of issues that underscore the need for innovation and protection in an industry that holds our wellbeing in its hands. Enter the shadowy world of ransomware attacks on healthcare systems, where RT's cutting-edge solutions shine a light on the path to resilience. My former private investigator self emerges, regaling with tales of trees thrown by the 'disabled', encapsulating the surreal world of insurance fraud. We then peek into Tesla's ambitious dive into the insurance industry, weighing their high-stake losses against the backdrop of the electric vehicle market's financial turbulence. Our musings on biometric gun safes take a turn from serious to amusing as we recount the frustrations and failings of technology that promises safety but doesn't always deliver. Raising our glasses, we herald the advent of Risk Seller LLC, our latest endeavor aimed at transforming the face of risk and insurance. As we laugh, reflect, and debate throughout the episode, it's the spirit of innovation and the shared journey with our audience that truly invigorates us. Join us in this episode that's as rich and varied as the wine we sample, leaving you informed, entertained, and perhaps a little more guarded in our increasingly digital world.
