Happy Thanksgiving/Harvest Meal 2022. For this episode, we're discussing wines that will give you great bang for your buck, pair perfectly with the meal, and impress your guests. Photo: Pumpkins & Pais! (c) Wine For Normal People These pairings are really for any traditional western meal – Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any sort of food that celebrates autumn flavors.    Here's the list for 2022... The Welcome Wine Sparkling options: Sekt from Germany (Riesling is best), South African Cap Classique, Lambrusco Sherry: Our favorite type of Sherry is Amontillado. It's great with nuts and generally well liked by people when they try it. Good producers: Hidalgo la Gitana, Valdespino, Lustau, Osbourne, and Bodegas Dios Baco are some great producers. Dry white wines Wines that complement a buttery, savory meal: Grillo from Sicily Pinot Blanc from Alsace Soave from Italy A blend from Lisboa (around Lisbon, Portugal) Verdejo from Spain OR More acidic whites -- better with acidic food with a lot of citrus/acidity or for contrast: Vernaccia di San Gimignano (Tuscany) Australian Riesling from the Clare and Eden Valleys Finger Lakes Riesling Off Dry Whites for dishes with fruit or with sweetness (yams, corn): Mosel Riesling from Germany Off-dry Finger Lakes Riesling Vouvray from the Loire Valley, France   Light Reds and rosé (good with turkey, ham, pork): Frappato from Sicily País from Chile (similar to Beaujolais) Zweigelt from Austria Rosé: Tavel from Rhône, Côte de Provence, or something from your local winery Heavier reds (for non-turkey meals): Bordeaux – general Bordeaux or Bordeaux Superieur for MVP, Right Bank (St. Emilion, Fronsac) and Côtes de Bordeaux for meats or heavier vegetables with more delicate, herbal flavors, Médoc for more robust meats with more charred notes Primitivo for robust meats Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon or Carménere for heavily flavored, braised, charred meat   Dessert: Ruby Port for chocolate desserts Muscat-based wines – Muscat de Beaumes de Venise, Muscat de Rivesaltes for fruit or custard desserts Bring back the off-dry Sekt or Lambrusco from the beginning of the meal to enjoy at the end of the meal. Lambrusco is good with berry or cherry desserts, Sekt with apple and custards   Tips: Don't buy too much wine. If you have a limited number of drinkers, limit the choices for the meal. If you plan to serve dessert wine, don't go overboard with options at the beginning of the meal or you'll have no takers. If your meal has a theme – it's very savory or is very vegetable focused, stick to the wine that will best suit those dishes and don't offer too many choices   Check out the Wine For Normal People book for more tips on pairing!    Have a safe, happy, healthy holiday.

Patron Serl Z asked: What are wines other than Pinot Noir for those for whom that is the only red wine they will drink? Photo: Pinot Noir grapes, Canva photos Join the conversation: Become a Patron on Patreon Pinot has so many different faces depending on where it's grown – terroir is everything with the grape. But if we're talking about medium-bodied, more acidic styles that are food-friendly, then this podcast answers that question!   Italy: Schiava or Teroldego from Alto Adige Bardolino or lighter styles of Valpolicella from Veneto Nebbiolo from Piedmont, alternately Grignolino, a light, acidic wine The reds of Mount Etna (Etna Rosso), Sicily Frappato, Sicily   France: Poulsard and Trousseau, the reds of the Jura region (specifically Arbois, which is often blended in with Pinot) Gamay from Beaujolais – Beaujolais-Village or lighter to medium styles from the Crus of Saint-Amour, Régnié, and Fleurie Reds from the Loire Valley. based on Cabernet Franc, especially St-Nicholas de Bourgeuil Côtes du Rhône red and white (yes, this white is big enough to be a red alternative). If you can find a wine with Cinsault in the blend (Rasteau and Cairanne Cru are good bets!), you'll be in for a light style that will scratch your Pinot itch! Photo: Jura vineyards in France, Canva photos Austria: Laurent, some Zweigelt (again, watch alcohol levels) Greece: Agiogitiko and some Xinomavro The US and Canada: Finger Lakes or Virginia: Cabernet Franc in the US Eastern Canada: Cabernet Franc   The Iberian Peninsula: Spain: Mencía from Bierzo or Ribeira Sacra Portugal: Blends of the Dão Photo: Vineyards in Ribeira Sacra, home of great Mencía. Canva photos. Most New World countries make excellent Pinot Noir but don't have a lot of alternative lighter wines, given the climate. Also, as they were starting their industry, winemakers imported grapes they felt would be successful, and Pinot was the winner of the light to medium-bodied category!   So, those are my picks, but you may have others!

About today's guest host: Hugh Preece is the President/Operating Partner at Salt Creek Grille Restaurants and Pickled Monk Tap Room. He is an Italian Wine Ambassador- Vinitaly Academy; Italian Wine Scholar- Wine Scholar Guild; Certified Educator through VIA Educator Program; a Sommelier & a 5 Star Wine Judge. He is also the author of Counting Castles in Abruzzo. If you want to learn more about today's guest host, you can by visiting: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hughlpreecescg Facebook: @FermentedBoss Instagram: fermented_boss About today's guest producer: Arianna Occhipinti has emerged as a pivotal personality for a new generation of wine enthusiasts. Her rapid rise is well-deserved: she is based in the Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG, where she farms Native varieties of Sicily. She is well-known for cultivating wines using biodynamic methods. Arianna Occhipinti is a young winemaker from Vittoria, in the south-eastern tip of Sicily, the warm island off of Italy's Mediterranean coast. In a region often associated with Marsala and with producing bulk quantities of full-fleshed, plummy and ripe reds made for export and blending, Arianna Occhipinti's wines are non-conformist and highly atypical for the region. Her wines (made from the indigenous grapes Nero d'Avola and the little-known Frappato) reflect, in part, her character: mysterious, earthy and intriguing. The wines are perfumed and spicy, with a bit of a wild streak that mirrors the rebellious energy that bubbles beneath her reserved and somewhat wary exterior. Along with her winemaking, Arianna makes an incredible olive oil that is hard to get, and once you've tasted it, it's even harder to forget. If you want to learn more about today's guest producer, you can by visiting: http://www.agricolaocchipinti.it/en/ More about the moderator Stevie Kim: Stevie hosts Clubhouse sessions each week (visit Italian Wine Club & Wine Business on Clubhouse), these recorded sessions are then released on the podcast to immortalize them!

Mo Wine - Wine, Mishaps and More

Frappato is an indigenous grape found in Sicily that is usually blended with Nera D' Avola. It is a medium bodied, red wine that is full of tart cherry, plum and pertol. I am going to have to pump the breaks on this one. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mo-wine/support

We are talking with Csaba, Founder of Fine Wine To Me and Head of Events & Partnerships at Noble Green wines, Hampton Hill. Csaba is all about encouraging people away from the normal grape varieties and to try all the lesser-known varieties of the world. So we are talking Furmint from Hungry (dry and sweet) and how the puttonyos system has changed. Lots of talk on Sicilian grape varieties and regions, focusing on the Frappato grape and lastly the grape variety Bastardo, also known as Merenzao in Galicia, Spain. We get quite passionate about the Galician wine region and varieties, there’s a good discussion about supermarket wine, even how religion and politics have changed the reputation of certain wine regions. A big shout out to Derek, winemaker at Garage wine co. We love your wines so you get a big fat mention. As Csaba is Hungarian, you will also get a mini-lesson on how to pronounce some of the Hungarian grape varieties.   We are drinking Szolo, Parlando, Furmint 2015 Tokaji, Hungry £34, Arianna Occhipinti, Il Frappato 2014, Sicily £29.50 and Fedellos do Couto, Bastarda 2014, Galicia, Spain £33.50 – All from www.finewinetome.com   We were horrendous and did not get this podcast out on time (sorry Csaba!) and so you have now missed his AWESOME wine event.

In the first part, Scienza discusses Nerello Mascalese (the variety which yields the famous Etna Rosso wines) and Frappato (grown in the areas of Noto and Vittoria)—both also part of the progeny of Sangiovese as discussed in episode 196). In the second part Scienza presents two ancient grape varieties cultivated on the islands around mainland Sicily: Zibibbo or Moscato d’Alessandria from Pantelleria, the iconic grape used to make Passito di Pantelleria and grown with the alberello training system; Malvasia di Lipari from the island of Lipari in the Eolian islands. Tune in also for a dive into the history of ancient Mediterranean viticulture and wine trade throughout the centuries in which Sicily played a huge part!

If you've never had a Frappato here's a chance for you to stretch your palate.  Arianna farms organically and uses the natural winemaking process with wild yeast fermentations. Medium garnet in color, the wine offers up a fresh clean aroma of red berries , with a hint of smoke. I kept sticking my nose in the glass trying to figure out what was going on. As the wine opened up volcanic earth notes came into play. In the mouth it's smooth and balanced with a perfect play between the tannins and acids. Think cranberries and light cream. It's not a big wine, but it has perfect tension with good minerality, juicy fruit and spice. Arianna's Frappato would be right at home on your Thanksgiving table. 12.5% abv $13 - $16Thanks for listening and tell a friend. Cheers!
