This week, it's a world of wines as we take you to Napa Valley California, the Okanagan Valley, BC, Coonawarra, South Australia and Montreal. With the Vancouver International Wine Festival coming up in just over two weeks and featuring wines of California and the western USA, we're joined by Ray Signorello, Proprietor of Signorello Estate in Napa Valley, California, and chair of the Gala Auction. Ray speaks to the rebirth of his winery after the 2017 Atlas wildfire and his latest Napa releases. Taylor Whelan, Senior Winemaker, Mission Hill Family Estate, updates us on the 23rd release of the Iconic red wine Oculus from the 2020 vintage. Mark Davidson, Head of Education, Americas, Wines of Australia, is here for a master class on all things related to Australian Wines, and Canadian Michelle Bouffard, Sommelier, Author and Founder of Tasting Climate Change, joins the conversation with Anthony about the shift underway and the leadership initiatives being adopted to ensure a healthier wine community worldwide.

This show features an overview of an essential place in the wine world: South Australia. There is much to learn here but I try to break it down into what is important to know. The show is somewhat heavy on history, since that is an essential part of why South Australia is important today.    South Australia is an Australian state located in the central south of the continent that refers to itself as Australia's “Wine State”, and rightfully so: it produces 50% of all bottled wine and about 80% of the country's premium wine. Most large wine companies (8 of the 13 continuously operating wine companies in Australia are here), many small wineries and almost all the official wine trade organizations, including Wine Australia, the government body responsible for regulating and promoting Australian wine, and the Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI), which plays a crucial role in wine research, are based in South Australia.   South Australia consists of 18 regions, and although I address most of them, I also point out that there are a handful that are essential to truly knowing about South Australia: Barossa, Eden Valley, Clare Valley, Adelaide Hills, Coonawarra, and McLaren Vale.   Map: Wine Australia   This is a bit of a whirlwind show, but hopefully it gives you a flavor for this famed, and essential corner of the wine world. My hope is that heard one or two things I said that you may not have known and that you seek out those wines. Australia is under appreciated in the US, especially, and when you get a good one, it is usually unbelievably good!     Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon. Become a member today! www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople _______________________________________________________________   Check out my exclusive sponsor, Wine Access.  They have an amazing selection -- once you get hooked on their wines, they will be your go-to!

BC Food and Wine goes Down Under this week with the help of two celebrated Australian Women who have been global ambassadors for Australian Wine and powerful role models for women working in wine for decades. Sue Hodder, Wynns Coonawarra Winemaker, was awarded the Gourmet Traveller Wine Magazine Winemaker of the Year award in 2010, and she also took home the 2017 Australian Women in Wine Awards Woman of Inspiration. Hodder was also recently inducted into the prestigious James Halliday Hall of Fame, cementing her status as a wine industry icon and a true legend of Coonawarra wine. Jane Ferrari was named the South Australia Legend of the Vine recognizing her outstanding contribution to the industry. Her career spans many years and is punctuated by her great ability and passion for communicating and storytelling about wine. Ferrari is a past WCA Wine Communicator of the Year (2012) winner and was inducted as a Baron of the Barossa in 2013, with a career in winemaking and communication, including 25 years at Yalumba Wines, as well as time spent at Wolf Blass Wines and Rockford Wines.

In this conversation, Paul Gordon from Leconfield Wines discusses the unique characteristics of Coonawarra, a renowned wine region in Australia, particularly known for its Cabernet Sauvignon. He explains the significance of the terroir, including the famous Terra Rossa soils, and the influence of climate on grape maturation. The discussion also covers the history of Leconfield Wines, the legacy of Sydney Hamilton, and the appeal of visiting Coonawarra for wine enthusiasts.

Tonight, our blind-tasting duo explore uncharted wine, at least for the show. Shiraz is the most planted and #1 grape from Australia. Shiraz is the same grape and wine as Syrah, but for some reason, Australia and South Africa call it Shiraz. It is a big, bold, full-body wine with high levels of tannin and acid. Because of the tannins, it is normally oaked and is a great pair with red meats.In France, Syrah is a single variety wine from the northern Rhone Valley, and is popular in the southern Rhone where it is part of the GSM blend wines. GSM stands for Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre.Syrah is also a popular grape grown in the US, mostly in the State of Washington and California. Some of the most popular Shiraz regions of Australia include Barossa Valley, Eden Valley, Clare Valley, Heathcote, Hunter Valley, McLaren Vale, Yarra Valley, Grampians, and Adelaide Hills.While Syrah and Shiraz wines will have many similarities, they will also have some differences. Syrah wines from France, Chile and Washington (State) are more of a cooler climate wine. Australian Shiraz and California, Spain, Italy, and Argentina Syrah are warm-weather wines. Syrah from cooler climates will be lighter in body, with more earthiness and floral notes. Warm weather Syrah/Shiraz will be fruit forward full-body higher alcohol wines. Tonight, we taste: 2021 Yalumba Barossa Shiraz. I purchased this wine at Wall to Wall Wine for $19.99. It comes from the Barossa Valley, Australia. It is plump and fruity, with lucid aromas of black cherry, plum, mint and ground pepper. A full body gentle frame of spicy tannins frames everything, and a nice level of acidity helps wash it all down. Winery is Vegan and started in 1849. 2019 Greg Norman, Limestone Coast Shiraz, $15.50 at Wall to Wall Wine. This wine comes from Coonawarra, McClaren Flat, Argentina. Nose: Bright aromas of ripe black and blue fruits, spice notes. Palate: Medium to full-bodied. Cola, black cherry, mixed berry jam and cloves. Other notes: plum and cherry. Peppercorn, mint, oak. Firm structure and balanced acidity. Area is known for having poor well draining soils. 2022 Yellow Tail Shiraz purchased at Walmart for $5.99. Rich and smooth, with juicy red berries and hints of vanilla and spice. Hints of mocha. Bold and smooth. South Eastern Australia includes all of Victoria and parts of South Australia and New South Wales. Next week The wines we will taste include: 2022 Bourgonge – Maconaise – Macon Villages. This is a Burgundy white made from the Chardonnay grape. Purchased from Costco for $12.79. 2022 Porta 6 Red from Lisbon Region of Portugal. Purchased at Trader Joes for $4.99. 2022 Ruggero Di Bardo from Puglia, Italy. Purchased at Trader Joes for $9.99.

Heidi joins Simon Nash and Sam Isherwood to chat about the Coonawarra Wine Tasting Roadshow which is back on the road for another year in a much bigger way. @thewineshowaustralia @coonawarra_wine

Australia's sheep, lamb and wool industries converge on Adelaide for the return of LambEx, increasing costs threaten Australia's food and beverage processing industries, and a Coonawarra winemaker inducted into the James Halliday Hall of Fame.

A new report finds sheep producers are more satisfied with their lives than the average Australian, a regional council waives the annual fee for farmers wanting to graze their livestock on roadsides, and a new South Australian wine costing $18,000 per bottle sells out before it's released.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Federal Government announces almost $7million to combat the threat of the deadly H5 strain of avian influenza, confidence down among SA sheepmeat and wool producers in the latest MLA survey, and Riverland wine producers estimate a $600million possible revenue loss in the last few years due to low grape prices.

This week we sit down and pour it up with one of our favorite Canadians Julian of BC Wine Trends and learned more about the love of country music and rosé with our friends of the Strawberry Wine Company! About BC Wine Trends Julian resides in the Okanagan Valley, close to so many first-class wineries and enthusiastic winemakers. Before starting the BC Wine Trends blog in 2015, he had the opportunity to visit wineries on three continents. Born in Melbourne, Julian spent time in Margaret River, Barossa Valley, Coonawarra, McLaren Vale, Hunter Valley, Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula and Gippsland, the home of his favourite Pinot “Bass Phillip”. He was fortunate to go to school with Phil Jones and remember helping him out with some early '70s plantings in his Leongatha vineyard. Best Aussie Wine 2013. Living in Phoenix for 15 years gave us the opportunity for multiple trips to the California wineries in Napa, Sonoma, Lodi, Paso Robles, Temecula, and his favorite Santa Barbara. Hard to beat the Lodi Zins and Santa Barbara Pinots for value! Another favorite west coast destination was Seattle with easy access to the Woodinville wineries, love those Cabs and Syrahs. His vacations took us to some exciting winery locations in Italy (Tuscany and Veneto where we fell in love with Amarone). In Spain the sparkling wines of Cava outside of Barcelona and the great reds of Roja. This gives you a feel for his background. Our objective for the wine blog is to cut through the Marketing hype and deliver information of value to BC Wine enthusiasts. About Strawberry Wine Company Strawberry Wine Company was created in the middle of a country concert for two reasons: 1. Combining a passion for the love of music and the love of wine 2. Building a community for people who love both of those things. SWC was founded as a homage to pay tribute to country music's past, but also looking forward with a bright and fun outlook for the future. Our debut Rosé is made from grapes of Petite Verdot grown in sunny Clarksburg, California. This is the perfect Rosé to take with you to your next concert, picnic or fun event. Cheers! Strawberry Wine Company Rosé 2019 Rosé, This rosé is made from grapes of Petit Verdot grown in Clarksburg California.
