La rentrée s'annonce disjonctée sur les ondes du 96,9! De retour de vacances, Markus et Alex reçoivent l'inimitable Faf. Celui qu'on pourrait presque qualifier de « demi-Snooze honorifique » n'a rien perdu de son mordant ni de son humour noir légendaire.Au programme de ces retrouvailles chaotiques ? Des échanges savoureux sur la forme physique, des révélations surprenantes (et hilarantes) sur la santé de Faf, et un débat linguistique musclé autour de mots complexes comme « néophyte » ou « psaume ». Mais ce que Faf aime par-dessus tout, c'est susciter des réactions sur les réseaux sociaux : plus la section commentaires s'enflamme, plus il jubile ! L'humoriste à d'ailleurs débuter l'écriture de son prochain spectacle et il nous dévoile en primeur le nouveau titre! De la controverse assumée à la franche camaraderie, ce trio d'enfer prouve une fois de plus que l'autodérision est leur meilleure arme.Ne manquez pas ce moment de radio délirant à écouter dès maintenant !

First report on Bordeaux 2025 from Jane Anson and Sarah Kemp. In their first En Primeur podcast they describe the vintage, which despite on paper looking like 2022, is in fact quite different in character. 2025 has the lowest yields since 1991, and neither Sarah or Jane can remember a vintage quite like it. Concentrated fruit and low ph are two of its characteristics. They believe you can't make generalisations about appellations; this really is château by château.

333: How Can a Vineyard (or Life) Disaster Turn Into a Good Thing? Sally Evans' Life Story is Proof That it Can

Unreserved Wine Talk

Play Episode Listen Later Apr 16, 2025 59:51


How can a vineyard disaster become an unexpected opportunity to innovate? How does storytelling transform wine marketing? What innovative pairings go beyond red wine and red meat? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Sally Evans, author of the new memoir, Make The Midlife Move: A Practical Guide to Flourish after Fifty. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks   Giveaway Three of you are going to win a copy of her terrific new memoir, Make The Midlife Move: A Practical Guide to Flourish after Fifty. To qualify, all you have to do is email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and let me know that you've posted a review of the podcast. I'll choose three people randomly from those who contact me. Good luck!   Highlights Are you ever too old to start over? How do we build resilience as we get older? How did Sally's harsh initiation with the 2017 frost in Bordeaux shape her approach to winemaking? Why did Sally decide not to pursue organic certification? How did it feel to present Sally's first wine in 2018 at Bordeaux's En Primeur? Which aspects of the story does Sally hope critics understand beyond what's in the glass? Beyond scores and medals, what forms of recognition have been most meaningful to Sally as a winemaker? What was it like to be sworn into the Confrérie des Gentilshommes de Fronsac? What was the steepest learning curve in selling a physical product like wine? How has Sally found creative ways to market and sell Château George 7? Why should you incorporate storytelling in marketing wine? How did Sally pivot to minimize the negative impact of COVID on the winery? What are some unusual pairings between vegetarian dishes and red wines? How do you know when it's time to move on from something you've built? What goals would Sally like to accomplish before selling the winery?   Key Takeaways As Sally shares, she was still living in the southeast of France when the previous owner of her vineyard rang to tell her that the frost had destroyed everything. While now we have barrel rooms and we have thermoregulation, we made a decent wine and that proved the process. That was a good example of how in midlife we can look at something that looks really bad, something that's happened, and actually turn around and make something good out of it. Sally says that when she hosts wine tastings, she always talks about the occasions when they're going to drink the wine: I think there's one thing in marketing where you profile the customer but I think with wine, often it's around the occasion and what you're eating and who's over and so on. That's how we drink wine. We drink it for occasions. Sally observes that when we look at the back of most red wine bottles, especially from Bordeaux, it says drink with red meat: I thought, well, that's not really helpful. I have a very close friend, Wendy Narby, she and I sat down and said, red wine goes fabulously with veggie dishes and so we've done it as a passion project where we talk about how to pair plant-based food with different Bordeaux wines.   About Sally Evans After an international corporate career based in Paris and the South of France, Sally Evans completely changed her life in her fifties. She created an independent winery in Bordeaux, completely on her own with no prior experience or knowledge of wine. She threw herself into wine studies, bought a parcel of mature vines with some dilapidated buildings and created a brand-new wine chateau. She now has a boutique winery, Château George 7, in Fronsac on the right bank of Bordeaux. Her wines win high critical acclaim from leading wine critics and publications and are listed in Michelin-starred restaurants and top venues across Europe and the US. Sally has also created a wine tourism destination for tastings and events, winning accolades for its exceptional wine experience. Alongside wine, her other passion is supporting women to follow their dreams.         To learn more, visit https://www.nataliemaclean.com/333.

PALERMO (ITALPRESS) - "E' un appuntamento che si ripete da tanti anni e che ci vede partner di Assovini Sicilia. Il settore del vino è caratterizzato da elevati livelli di eccellenza, in termini qualitativi. Fortemente orientato al biologico: siamo la prima Regione per superfice vitata bio. E molto orientato alla sostenibilità". Così Salvatore Malandrino, Regional Manager Sicilia di UniCredit, a margine della presentazione dell'edizione 2024 di Sicilia en Primeur, l'annuale anteprima dei vini siciliani organizzata da Assovini Sicilia, in programma a Cefalù dal 9 all'11 maggio."Lo studio UniCredit-Nomisma mette in luce un mercato globale e domestico del vino in continua evoluzione, sia per ragioni interne al settore che per dinamiche più ampie afferenti alla sfera economica e geopolitica. Proprio per questo UniCredit si è impegnata a rinnovare la gamma di strumenti di sostegno per il settore, da affiancare al tradizionale supporto creditizio. Penso per esempio al plafond da 1 miliardo di euro nell'ambito dell'iniziativa 'UniCredit per l'Italia' a supporto degli investimenti delle imprese agricole e agroalimentari, alle emissioni obbligazionarie di minibond e al rinnovato assetto della nostra rete con la presenza di gestori e specialisti agribusiness, che sono in grado di supportare in modo ancora più mirato le realtà del settore". xd6/vbo/gsl

Accidentally filling the big shoes of Michael Broadbent and Steven Spurrier, Jane Anson, wine critic, author of Inside Bordeaux, founder of janeanson.com, and former Bordeaux correspondent for Decanter for nearly 20 years, is one of the world's foremost experts on the wines, history, and region of Bordeaux. Having lived in Bordeaux since 2003, Jane shares her deep insights into how Bordeaux became as famous as it is, how the systems of La Place de Bordeaux and En Primeur work, and the complex terroir of the region. She gives us insight into the content of janeanson.com and how it will be a unique look into Bordeaux, focusing on the drinkability of the wines and many of the unique features to be released. Detailed Show Notes: Bordeaux OverviewA port city far enough inland to be a safe port12th century - duchy of the English crown, wines were sold in the London marketThe system of chateaux, merchants, and negociants was built for exportTerroir is very complex (which may be why it's not talked about much), e.g., of the 61 wines in the 1855 Medoc classification, all of them are on 2 specific gravel terraces (#3 & 4) of the 6 terraces of the MedocMostly clay underneath with gravel on topLots of micro terroirsSt Emilion - has pure limestone, clay, and gravelIssues that have hurt BordeauxEvery vintage is not great, though Bordelais often say thatFrustrate people based on the prices they ask (e.g., 2009/2010 vintages - many people who bought lost money)Advantages of La Place de BordeauxBusiness to business, sell to merchants that sell to consumersVirtual marketplace - enables access to 10,000 clients globallyIncludes chateaux, brokers, and negociantsSells wine into every level of the food chain - has specialists for on-trade, off-trade, hotels, corner shops, supermarkets, etc.It doesn't build your brand but makes sure it gets everywhereGood at giving the illusion of scarcityCan use La Place for specific markets - La Place has expertise in the Asian markets (e.g., China, Vietnam, Japan)Disadvantages of La Place de BordeauxCreates a very competitive environment - low-end wines compete with each otherIt protects Bordeaux well, and merchants need to buy in bad years to get allocations in good yearsNo direct contact with consumers for wineriesLess effective for small guys that aren't established brandsNon-Bordeaux wines selling on La PlaceGone from nothing to 60 wines 5 years ago to 90 wines in 2021Provides access to global markets - shows wines next to the great wines of BordeauxOpus One - the 2nd non-Bordeaux wine on La Place (after Almaviva), has sold wines since 2004 and opened an office in Bordeaux. Barriers to joining La Place - need enough volume to get everywhere, need to do your own brand-building work, and meet customersThe increase in overseas wines has hurt smaller Bordeaux estates -> negociants have limited budgets and drop themEn PrimeurFrom the early 1980s, Parker injected excitement into the En Primeur systemPeople used to make money, but now they are often better off waiting until wines are in bottle with certain exceptions (e.g., tiny production Pomerols)No longer has the same sense of urgencyTranche system - release a small amount of wine at one price, then release more later at higher pricesnon-Bordeaux wines price more consistently than Bordeaux winesLatour dropping out of en primeur, they wanted to store wines and release them when best for consumersChateau Palmer - sells 50% en primeur, 50% 10 years later Get access to library episodes Hosted on Acast.

Cameron Hughes, De Négoce

Cameron Hughes Cameron Hughes joins Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger on California Wine Country today. He is a wine merchant, following more or less the business model of a négociant in France. He buys bulk wine for a low price and sells it to retail customers through De Négoce, his label and sales company. (The company name is French for "of the trade.") California produces so much good wine that not all of it finds a buyer. Dan Berger agrees the wine is really high quality wine that simply doesn't have a home. Cameron Hughes has been doing this for about 20 years. He built a concept called the “lot concept.” He sold that company in 2017.  Cinergi was his previous brand. Then in 2019 someone offered him 100,000 gallons of 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon at a really good price and he felt he had to get back into the business. He finds wines that he can sell for 80% below their normal retail price. En Primeur is the French name of the early buying period in French wineries. (This is also done in Italy, la vendemmia. -ed.) Dan Berger says the difference is that Cameron Hughes has a fabulous palette so customers can trust his choices will turn out well. Mondavi used to have the slogan, “We'll sell no wine before its time,” spoken by the great Orson Welles. Cameron Hughes has reversed that and says, “We'll sell a big chunk of the wine before its time, because it's what I do.” They did over 90,000 cases of wine in the last year. The website store has launched. Last year, the wine wasn't even bottled. The earlier you buy in the cycle, the lower the price. They are tasting a Viognier that would sell for about $25 and Cameron Hughes sells it for $8. Since these wines are so young, consumers should cellar them for a while. Cameron agrees and says the need to keep them for a while is the tradeoff for getting a $25 bottle for $8. California Wine Country's sponsor Bottle Barn is where Wine Country buys its wine. Bottle Barn can ship wine to most states. Click the logo to visit Bottle Barn . com Cameron Hughes grew up in Modesto, California and went to high school "with the Gallo kids" and his dad worked for Gallo then for The Wine Group. His first job was to collect and dump old out-of-code wine. He got a sales job in the wine business where he could build up his personal cellar. There used to be a 40% discount given among people in the wine trade, but that's no longer done. Then he put a brand together and made a sale to Costco that started Cameron Hughes Lot 1. He sold that company and went into the high-end steak business, but was tempted by the wine business again and now has also started De Négoce. They taste a Chardonnay that Dan Berger says, “…leans in the direction of Chablis” so if you don't like fancy oak Chardonnay, this will be your taste. It will age for 10-12 years. Now they taste a different Chardonnay, in a different style. It's a richer, more opulent style. It is 14.2% alcohol, from Russian River Valley. It retails for $95, from a world-famous winemaker. But De Négoce is able to sell it for $20. Dan Berger says that is outrageous. There is a character in the fruit, it is less tropical and more citrus. It leans to a lime-flavor and fresh grapefruit component. There is another Chardonnay to taste. It comes from high up the Mayacamas Mountains, in Sonoma County, about 2000 feet of elevation. Part of the De Négoce business is that Cameron Hughes can not disclose exactly where the wine came from or who made it. Next is a Sonoma Mountain Cabernet, made by a husband-and-wife team. The vineyard is called Pickberry Vineyard on Sonoma Mountain. It is very young and needs time in the bottle. Dan says it's hard to tell how long to keep it because it is so young you still get primary fermentation characteristics in it. He would put it away for at least a year. Cameron and Dan agree that the 2018 Vintage of Napa Cabs is a great year. Next they taste a Spring Mountain Cabernet.
