How can we, as wine consumers, support environmental change in the wine industry? What is proactive farming as it relates to growing vines for wine? Does wine tourism have a positive or negative impact on the environment? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with sustainability expert Anna Brittain. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks Highlights Why is good soil health foundational to vineyards, both from the wine and sustainability perspectives? What is proactive farming? How can the wine industry increase its emphasis on social justice and diversity and inclusion? Why do climate action and regenerative agriculture make the ultimate umbrella for sustainability efforts in the wine industry? What is the environmental impact of wine tourism? What can we do as consumers to advocate for or induce change in the wine industry? Are there commonalities between different wine regions and the climate challenges they face? What is Domaine Carneros doing differently as a dedicated sustainability leader? What does Anna love about Domaine Carneros Taittinger and what foods would it be best paired with? Which breakfast foods could you pair with the classic St. Supéry Cabernet Sauvignon? Why does Anna believe we need to focus on improving quality and sustainable practices in the wine industry rather than expanding? What are Anna's favourite childhood foods to pair with wine? What is Anna's favourite wine book? Why would Anna love to share a glass of wine with Brené Brown? Why is it crucial to take action on climate change in the here and now? Key Takeaways Anna has some concrete steps for how we, as wine consumers, support environmental change in the wine industry. Every bit helps, and the need is urgent. We all have purchasing power - we vote with our dollars, and they send strong signals to the industry to advocate for change. I found her concept of proactive farming as it relates to growing vines for wine fascinating. She also has an interesting take on wine tourism's impact on the environment.

Founded by the noble family behind Champagne Taittinger, Claude Taittinger's search for a worthy U.S. counterpart began in the late 1970s. In 1987 he selected a 138-acre parcel in the heart of Carneros, Napa Valley. Wisely selecting Eileen Crane to oversee the development of the winery and vineyards, the team created the quintessential California expression of the Taittinger style in Carneros.The heart of Domaine Carneros has always been sparkling wines, with distinctive styles ranging from the classic vintage-dated Brut cuvée to our luxury Le Rêve Blanc de Blancs. In 1992 we added rich, complex Pinot Noir to our portfolio and our passion for sparkling and still wines continues to grow. Learn about sparkling winemaking and Eileen Crane, Pinot Noir winemaking and TJ Evans, and our portfolio of wines.All of our wines proudly hail from the Carneros appellation, and 95% of our fruit comes from our estate vineyards. More on our vineyards.As anyone who has driven between Napa and Sonoma can tell you, the Domaine Carneros château is a stunning regional landmark.

Mike Wreyford talks to Remi Cohen from Domaine Carneros about California's sparkling wine!
Remi Cohen and Tom Simoneau. Remi Cohen, CEO of Domaine Carneros, is our guest on California Wine Country with Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger. Tom Simoneau is also in the studio today and the subject is the sparkling wines of Domaine Carneros. But first, Dan Berger has opened a 12-year-old 2009 Pinot Noir from his extensive personal cellar. Morelli Vineyards provided the grapes for this wine made by a winery called Lost Canyon. Dan looked for them online but didn't find much, they may not still be active. Tom Simoneau has not heard of them. Dan Berger notes that Dan Goldfield has also used Morelli Vineyards for his prestigious Dutton-Goldfield label. Now they begin tasting the Domaine Carneros sparkling wines beginning with the Brut, which is the first wine they ever made in 1987 when they launched. Domaine Carneros is owned by the Taittinger family, who are famous French Champagne producers. They wanted to have a sparkling wine company in California so they started one in the 1980s. When Claude Taittinger came to visit Napa Valley and Carneros in particular, he expressed that desire. Then they hired Eileen Crane to create the winery and make the wine. Eileen retired last year but still comes in to help with the blending. Eileen Crane was on California Wine Country on this episode from March 29, 2017 and she told the whole story of her very interesting career. Remi Cohen has brought these bottles today for tasting and discussion: Domaine Carneros by Taittinger 2017 Brut Domaine Carneros Cuvée de la Pompadour sparkling Brut Rosé Le Rêve Domaine Carneros by Taittinger 2014 Domaine Carneros Estate Pinot Noir 2018 Carneros means Rams in Spanish. They open the Sparkling Rosé but it turns out to be slightly corked. This happens to about 1% of wines, a mould grows on the cork and can spoil the taste of the wine. (Dan thinks most corked wines in the US are probably not identified as such, people have to be used to telling the flavor of it. People who don't know, may conclude the don't like the wine but don't know why.) Next they taste Le Rêve, which means The Dream. This is aged 6 years before they release it, this is a 2014 they are tasting. The story behind this wine is that Claude Taittinger asked Eileen Crane to make a top quality sparkling wine only from estate-grown Chardonnay grapes. The owner was so impressed he had a special bottle made for Le Rêve, emblazoned with two rams' heads. The word Carneros means Rams, in Spanish. first release was 1992. This is as dry as the other, but is different from the Brut. Dan points out that you're getting your richness from the Pinot Noir that has intentionally made for the color. They do Le Rêve and Lobster dinners at the winery. Dan Berger would serve grilled scallops with this. Click the logo to visit our sponsor Bottle Barn online. Bottle Barn is still featuring Harvest Festival winners, including all four of Tom Simoneau's gold medal winners. They are also selling a lot of sparkling wines right now. They also have acquired some important collections and there are some unique bottles in those lots. Dan points out that the blend process is meticulous and very important. Remi is glad that Eileen Crane still comes for blending. Only a small amount of it has been given ML. It is how they choose the best Chardonnay to turn into sparkling wine with the tirage which is putting sugar and yeast in and let it ferment in the bottle. Dan points out how making sparkling wine is “a game of patience” as Remi describes it, since it takes years to plant the right vineyard, and the sparkling winemaking process takes so long. They harvest at 18 to 20 Brix, which is really tart. At the Domaine Carneros chateau, there are lots of options for visits, with food pairings of all kinds. Finally, they taste a Pinot Noir, made by T.J. Evans, who specializes in Pinot Noir for DC. The Estate Pinot Noir is from 6 different estates that they farm in Carneros.

En este episodio tenemos la entrevista que se le realizó por Facebook Live a una gran emprendedora puertorriqueña en EE.UU.

This episode focuses on wines for the traditional Thanksgiving feast. If you're the host, the easiest way to choose the right wines is to put the task on your guests. Everyone asks "what can I bring?" Tell them one bottle of their favorite wine and a second bottle of a wine type that you specify based on what you learn in this episode. If you're the host and providing all the wine, figure on 2-3 glasses per person. One standard (750ml) bottle of wine equals 5 generous glasses. So, if you expect 10 people at dinner, 10 times 3 glasses is 30 glasses, divided by 5 equals 6 bottles. However, if you expect a LOT of wine drinking -- perhaps because many people are staying over, walking home, or getting an uber home -- just figure on one bottle per person to be safe. Insider tips For Champagne, get "non-vintage" as its best bang for your buck Lambrusco is a red, slightly sparkling to fully sparkling wine that is OUTSTANDING with food, and especially good with Thanksgiving dishes Riesling is also a GREAT match for Thanksgiving dishes Look for Alsace, Germany, Washington state Both Riesling and Lambrusco come in various sweetness levels From bone dry to sweet Almost any white wine from Italy will work with just about everything on the table, because Italian whites tend to be food friendly. Similarly, almost all rose wines will work as well. The best rose wines in the world are from the French regions of Provence, Tavel, and Bandol. Put Beaujolais wine in the fridge for 15-20 minutes before serving. A slight chill brings out the flavors of this light and fruity red wine.

(This episode of CWC was first heard on March 29, 2017. There is no new show this week due to NBA games on KSRO. We're back with a new show next week.) Eileen Crane, the CEO, founding builder and winemaker from Domaine Carneros joins Steve Jaxon, Dan Berger and Tom Simoneau. Today Eileen Crane tells about being hired thirty years ago to build and open Domaine Carneros and how it became one of the most famous and important wineries in the world. Right away they are tasting a brand new Beaujolais that Dan brought in. It is the top of the line Cru Beaujolais and the first one Dan has tasted this year. The 2015s were fabulous, and the early word is that this year’s vintage may be the best ever in the history of Beaujolais. This was a warm year. The grapes are 100% Gamay grown in granitic soil, which stays warm at night time from the day time heat, so they don’t lose acidity and they have to pick it as early as they can. Steve finds that by the third sip it is great. Dan and Tom say it would go well with pizza. Steve introduces Eileen Crane, President and winemaker at Domaine Carneros. First, Steve takes a call from Paul in Petaluma who has kept a bottle of Domaine Carneros for 20 years and called to tell the story. In 1998 his family took him to tour Carneros winery on Father’s Day. His family bought a bottle of 1993 sparkling wine which he took back to Minnesota. He moved to Petaluma in 2011 and opened it on his birthday in 2014, when the wine was 22 years old. It was great, he says. Eileen says that the ’93 was the second vintage of the “Le Rêve” and says that if her wines are kept away from direct sunlight they can last for 30 or 40 years. They open a Pompadour Rosé. In the main foyer at Domaine Carneros, there is a picture of Madame Pompadour, who is famous for saying, “Champagne is the only wine that a woman can drink and remain beautiful.” As always, Steve asks for the history and Eileen tells about Claude Taittinger who said, he doesn’t care how the name is pronounced as long as you reach for the bottle. In his early 20s, in the 1950s, he came through Sonoma and Napa and when he returned to France he told his partners that he would like to own a property in California so they eventually bought into Carneros. Eileen Crane was hired to open Domaine Carneros, in 1987, which opened its doors in 1989. When they opened they had so much caviar that they were eating it for lunch for weeks. They had fireworks, which scared the neighboring cattle. The cattlemen protested and she replied that they had posted the notices that they were required to post, but a cattleman told her that the cows don’t read. So they have never had fireworks again after that. As a child, she would share the wine with her family’s Sunday dinners and one day, her father opened a bottle of Champagne, which she was allowed to taste. Thus began her lifelong fascination with Champagne. A friend had a book called The Art of Winemaking that came from UC Davis, so she called the university and was on her way to taking classes. She had a science background so she had a head start and took five classes there. Since she had also been to the culinary institute, she was hired as a pastry chef until the winery chemist offered her to work in the lab. Eileen Crane also worked at Gloria Ferrer. Since Spring is coming she moves into drinking rosés, which she brought to the studio for tasting. Eileen explains how rosé is made and how the wine they’re tasting has a soft peach color. Next they taste a Pinot Noir, which is a small part of their production. It is easier to be known for Sparkling wines than for Pinot Noir because there are fewer wineries making it. They taste their Ultra-Brut which is only available at the winery. But their classic brut is available in Santa Rosa at Bottle Barn, as is the rosé tasted earlier. Steve asks Eileen for directions and she says to follow the Carneros Highway east from the town of Sonoma.

This week WineGuyMike™ writes all about all things bubbly for your New Year Celebration and understanding the differences between Champagne, Sparkling Wine, Cava, Prosecco, and Spumante. In this post I am also suggesting sparkling wines in a variety of price ranges that offer the consumer value. What is the difference between Champagne and Sparkling wine? Sparkling wines and champagne are still wines that have been infused with carbonation. True Champagne is made in France will be noted by the capital letter “C”on the label. Other sparkling wines called Champagne will by designated as “champagne”, notice no capitalization. Three grapes are used in Champagne, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay. It’s white because only the juice of the grapes is used.The four methods of Sparkling wine production:1. Carbon Dioxide Injection – soft drinks and inexpensive sparkling wines are produced using this method. It produces large bubbles that dissipate quickly.2. Charmat Process – wine undergoes a second fermentation in large bulk tanks and is bottled under pressure. Prosecco and Asti are produced utilizing this method, smaller longer lasting bubbles result from this method. Many Sparkling wines are made using this method.3. Méthode Champenoise – this process takes place in the bottle and requires hands on attention. During the second fermentation the carbon dioxide stays in the bottle and this is where the bubbles come from.4. Transfer Method – the cuvee is bottled for the second fermentation which adds complexity. But the wine is then removed and stored in large tanks after it has spent the appropriate amount of time on yeast.Champagne:The Champagne region of France not only produces some of the finest sparkling wines in the world, but some of the finest wines in the world too. Typically there are three grapes used in the blend for sparkling wines; Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. Different vintages are used to create the blend or better known as the “Cuvee”.Champagne is expensive due to the traditional method of how it is made, Methode Champenoise and techniques known as second fermentation. This process takes place in the bottle and requires hands on attention.Pink Champagne or sparkling Rose is strained through the Pinot Noir grape skins, truly a delight. Methode Champenoise is the true French fermentation process. The wine is fermented twice, once in an oak barrel, and the second time the wine developes carbonation in the bottle while aging a minimum of one year.Blanc de Blancs is true French Champagne, it is produced entirely from the Chardonnay grape. Blanc de Blancs fermented using the Methode Champenoise process, producing white Champagne.Designations of quality:Prestige cuveeThis Champagne is the highest priced and is available only in small quantities. It is designated “Prestige” because the grapes come from the best grapes from the highest rated villages, it is made from the first pressing of the grapes, produced only as a vintage, and will have been aged longer than vintage and non-vintage Champagnes.Vintage Champagne Some select years produce an outstanding grape harvest. The Vintage Champagnes are aged for at least three years. Here are an example of a few companies who produce these Vintage Champagnes; Veuve Clicquot, Perrier-Jouet, Moet & Chandon, and Taittinger.Remember a Vintage Champagne will be identified by an actual year marked on the label, but expect to pay a premium for this.Non-Vintage ChampagneThe majority of Sparkling wine on the shelf of a store is non-vintage. These are a blend of wines aged for two years.How to Select your Champagne:■Brut is Dry■Extra Dry is Semidry■Sec is Semisweet■Demi-sec is SweetQuality Champagne Cellars:Ayala, Billecart-Salmon, J. Bollinger, Canard-Duchene, Deutz, Charles Heidsieck, Heid sieck Monopole, Henriot, Krug, Lanson, Lauret Perrier, Mercier, Moet & Chandon, Mumm Perrier-Jouet, Joseph Perrier, Piper Heidsieck, Pol Roger, Pommery, Louis Roederer, Ruinart, Salmon, Taittinger, Veuve ClicquotAll things are not at equal when it comes to sparkling wines and Champagne. So what makes all of these types of sparkling wines different? The answer is how they are made, the type of grapes, and the yeasts that are used in fermentation and left behind in the bottle to age with the sparkling wines.There are 2-3 elements of wine that create aroma and flavor. The first element is the fruit, and the second is the yeast used to ferment the wine. Fruit and yeast combine during fermentation to produce aroma and flavor or sense of taste. The third influence upon the wine in your glass may be from an oak influence during the wines aging process.Other sparkling Wine Regions:Loire Valley of France produces Crémant, while the Asti region of Italy produces Asti Spumanti, and Prosecco comes from the Veneto region. The Catalonia region of Spain produces the world’s most popular sparkling wine, Cava. Quality sparkling wines made in Italy are made by the Metodo Classico process or what the French refer to as Methode Champenoise.Prosecco is an Italian wine, generally a dry sparkling wine, usually made from grape varietyGlera, which is also known as Prosecco. The Veneto region of Italy is where Glera/ Prosecco is grown and produced.Prosecco is mainly produced as a sparkling wine in either the fully sparkling (spumante) or lightly sparkling (frizzante, gentile) styles. Prosecco spumante, which has undergone a full secondary fermentation, is the more expensive style. The various sparkling wines may contain some Pinot Bianco or Pinot Grigio wine. Depending on their sweetness, Proseccos are labeled “brut”, “extra dry”, or “dry”, with the brut being the driest.Unlike Champagne, Prosecco does not ferment in the bottle consequently the wine goes off or gets old quickly and should be drunk as young as possible, preferably within one year.Prosecco is Italy’s answer to refreshing, well-made, sparkling wine that is low in alcohol, about 11 to 12 percent by volume. Created from predominately Prosecco grapes in the northern Veneto region of Italy in the foothills of the Alps. Prosecco is light, affordable, and fun. This Sparkling wine is aromatic and crisp, with nuances of yellow apple, citrus, pear, white peach, and apricot. Today’s Proseccos tend to be dry and very bubbly and typically will present itself as light, fresh, with an initial intense bouquet/aroma, but simple and straight forward compared to Champagne.Prosecco is made using the Charmat method rather than the Champagne method, the French method of making sparkling wine. The Charmat method is a second fermentation in pressurized tanks rather than in individual bottles. The shorter, tank fermentation is preferable for Prosecco because it preserves the freshness and the flavor of the grapes.Asti Spumante is a sweet sparkling wine. It is produced in the province of Asti and made from the Moscato grape. Spumante is a fruit forward sparkling wine that is grapy, and has a low alcohol content usually around 8%. Moscato d’Asti is a sparkling wine that is frizzante in style and for my palette I find these wines to be more refined than the Asti Spumante.Cava originated in the Catalonia region at the in the late 19th century. Originally the wine was known as Champaña until Spanish producers officially adopted the term “Cava” (cellar) in 1970. Cava wines are fermented and aged in the bottle in underground cellars. Today 95% of Spain’s total Cava production is from Catalonia.Cava is produced in different styles ranging from dry to sweet; Brut Nature, Brut (extra dry),Seco (dry), Semiseco (medium) and Dulce (sweet). Under Spanish Denominación de Origen laws, Cava can be produced in six wine regions and must be made according to the Traditional Method with second fermentation in the bottle. The grapes used to produce Cava are Macabeo, Parellada, Xarel·lo, Chardonnay, Pinot noir, and Malvasia. The Chardonnay grape is a late comer to the scene despite being a traditional grape used to produce Champagne. It was not introduced in the production of Cava until the 1980s.In order for the wines to be called ‘Cava’, they must be made in the traditional Méthode Champenoise. Wines made via the low-cost Charmat process may only be called ‘Spanish sparkling wine’. A rosé style of Cava is also produced by adding in small amounts of red wines from Cabernet Sauvignon, Garnacha or Monastrell to the wine.Cava made by the Champagne method, is a very acceptable alternative to French champagne. Cava is usually made by the Coupage method, whereby must, a.k.a.(grape juice) from different grape varieties is subjected to the first fermentation which is blended until it is consistent with the wine that the winemaker wants to produce . After the Coupage, the wine is put into bottles and yeast and sugar added. It is then cellared for the second fermentation and aging.Crémant is produced in the Loire Valley of France and is the largest producer of sparkling wines outside of the Champagne region. Crémant has to be aged for at least one year and it is handpicked. The producers are also limited as to how much can be harvested, this all according to the French A.O.C.There are seven French appellations that carry the Crémant designation in their name:1.Crémant d’Alsace2.Crémant de Bordeaux3.Crémant de Bourgogne4.Crémant de Die5.Crémant du Jura6.Crémant de Limoux7.Crémant de LoireCrémant de Loire’s are a blend of the Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc. In Burgundy, Crémant de Bourgogne, must be composed of at least thirty percent Pinot noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc or Pinot Gris while Aligoté is often used to complement the blend. The Languedoc region in the south of France produces Crémant de Limoux. This Sparkling wine is produced from the indigenous grape Mauzac, with Chenin blanc, and Chardonnay rounding out the wine in small amounts.The Crémant Sparkling Wines are pressurized less than Champagne and therefore have a larger looser bubble as a result.California Sparkling Wines:Sparkling wines from California use a few grape varietals such as Berger and Chenin Blanc to blend with the traditional Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes.Producers to look for in California; Hacienda, Domain Lauier, Roederer Estate, Domaine Carneros, Domaine Chandon, Codorniu-Napa, Iron Horse, Jordan, Mumm-Cuvee Napa, and Schramsberg.Remember the name “Champagne” can only be used in Europe on bottles that actually are produced in the Champagne region of France.As a consumer you now are empowered by the information WineGuyMike™ has shared with you in this week’s blog post. I would like to wish you a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year.From my table to yours,
