Eventually, Doug would go on to be selected as the president of the Niagara Peninsula Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association.

The vineyards start where the Côte d'Or ends, with the valley of the River Dheune, just south of Santenay. Its terroir is clay and limestone, but the landscape feels different, as there is no one escarpment, and the land is more wooded, creating a more varied terrain.The main grapes are Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Aligoté, but there is also a small amount of Gamay and Pinot Blanc. There are five villages, Bouzeron, Rully, Mercurey, Givry, Montagny and two sub-classes of Bourgone: Bourgogne-Côte Chalonnaise and Bourgogne-Côte de Couchois.Bouzeron has plenty of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay on its east-facing slope, but on its west-facing slope you find Aligoté – as Jasper explains, “Aligoté has been Bouzeron's calling card,” and in 1998 they decided to create an appellation just for Bourzeron and Aligoté. It most renowned producers are Domaine A&P de Villaine, Maison Chanzy and Domaine Champs de Themis.Rully makes sparkling wine and some good Aligoté, but is mainly known for its Chardonnay. Jasper explains, “The wines are not particularly long-lasting but they don't need to be, because they are so lovely.” The producers to look out for are P&M Jacqueson, Domaine de la Folie, while Jasper picks out Vincent Dureuil-Janthial as the biggest star.Domaine Faiveley put Mercurey on the map, and Mercurey remains the most famous of the villages. This is red-wine territory, with the wines being more structured and more tannic, though as Jasper notes, this is changing a little with new Pinot Noir plant material. Château de Chamiray is a major player in the area and a name to look for is Domaine Bruno Lorenzon.Givry is similar to Mercurey, in that it is red-wine country, with only 15% whites produced. Producers to seek out include Domaine du Cellier aux Moines, which Jasper highly recommends, and Domaine Joblot, Domaine Thénard, François Lupp and his cousins, Domaine Ragot and Domaine Laurent Mouton.Montagny is a white-wine-only appellation. Jasper describes its taste as different from other Burgundian whites, more like “crushed oyster shells like Chablis, though not so iodine.” His names to look out for include Cave de Buxy, the largest producer in the Côte Chalonnaise, and the negociant Louis Latour has considerable holdings, the star producer is Domaine Stéphane Aladame, but there is a raft of new producers including Domaine Laurent Cognard, Domaine Feuillat-Juillot, Domaine Berthenet.You can also find Jasper's guest appearances on other Podcast/Video channels we work closely with: The Wine Conversation 67 Pall Mall TV Bringing Burgundy closer to you with every episode!Subscribe to my website and get full access to my scores, tasting notes, detailed write-ups on producers and much more:https://www.insideburgundy.com/register/See all our events at: https://www.insideburgundy.com/all-events/Daily updates on our Instagram: @jaspermorris.insideburgundy

Dan Berger. California Wine Country with Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger today includes Dan's thoughts about tariffs and wine sales. This continues some of the subject matter he discussed on this episode of CWC three weeks ago. Dan Berger begins by describing an online newsletter and Substack called Fermentations, written by Tom Wark. Dan says it has the most interesting perspective on the business. For the rest of today Dan and Steve will talk about some tastings and also about tariffs and the changing retail and wholesale wine market. Dan sees that the impositions of tariffs is going to be devastating throughout the wine industry. It will negatively impact foreign wine, but it will also adversely affect the entire market. 37% of retail sales are imported. If a bottle of champagne has gone from $50 to $125, buyers won't buy. Wine prices are going to stay the same for California wine, and prices of European wine will go up. The United States Wine Trade Alliance, representing 5,000 businesses, is attempting to lobby against the tariffs, but with dim prospects. Dan suggests looking for wines that are already here and buying what you want, now. Layoffs, Disinvestment & Ownership Concentration There have been layoffs in the wholesale wine business. In the last year, wineries have been going out of business. Vintage Wine Merchants has closed and Constellation has announced their intention to sell their wine properties. Mr. Foley has been buying wineries in these distressed conditions and now owns something like thirty brands. Dan says that if the tariffs stay in place for over a year, look out for big trouble. Also, Canada has stopped buying American wine and spirits too. Canada has been an important source of revenue for some California wineries. Chardonnay, Albariño and Gamay 2023 Kumeu River Estate Chardonnay from New Zealand that comes from a winemaker named Michael Brackovich that Dan knows. The winery is not far from Auckland, on a lovely bay. The wine is delicious. No tariffs have been threatened on New Zealand and Australia, at least yet. It is a great example of southern hemisphere Chardonnay. They also taste a Hendry 2023 Albariño, from the Napa Valley. It is a variety that grows in Portugal and Spain, and also some in California. Dan says it has the structure of Gewürztraminer but the aromatics of a Riesling only with additional orange peel flavors. Dan has selected wines today from California, Australia and New Zealand whose prices will not change. Finally they taste a Gamay, which is similar to Pinot Noir. This comes from a property called Mount Edward in New Zealand. It could have been made into a fruity Beaujolais style wine but this one has a little more substance. It has black pepper flavors that come from the colder climate. New Zealand makes a lot of Gamay, which usually becomes the young fruity Beaujolais style. This wine is made more like a Syrah, focussed on acidity, instead of that. Dan would pair it with a well-done hamburger with some char on it.
Gus Clemens on Wine explores and explains the world of wine in simple, humorous, fun posts
This is the weekly columnSpring is here. What wines are especially suited for the warming days and the return of plants from dormancy? There are many happy choices.Bright acidity, floral aromatics, freshness, lightness, and lower alcohol are hallmarks of wines that pair with the dynamic character of the season. Here are some classic suggestions:• Sauvignon blanc. New Zealand efforts burst with lime and passionfruit and aromas of freshly mowed grass. Efforts from France's Loire Valley lean more toward flinty minerality. West Coast sauv blancs can be silky with notes of honeydew melon. All work with spring salads, seafood, goat cheese.• Riesling. Dry versions from Germany's Mosel region deliver floral aromas and crisp apple, sometimes honeysuckle and nectarine. Very versatile. Pair with a picnic.• Vinho verde. Portugal's light, high acidity, slightly effervescent, lower alcohol wine is another picnic pleaser with citrus and apple notes. Seafood is classic pairing, so is a fresh tomato and cucumber salad. It also pairs well with spicy foods. Serve well chilled.• Dry rosé. Of course. Provencal styles deliver strawberry, watermelon, lemon-lime, grapefruit, delicate whiffs of roses and other flowers. Light bodied, crisp, refreshing. Another very versatile food wine and can be enjoyed sipped by itself during a lovely spring afternoon.• Pinot noir. The light red is versatile. Enjoy ripe strawberry flavors amid silky tannins.• Gamay. These wines from France's Beaujolais can be slightly chilled. They deliver vibrant flavors of strawberry, raspberry, cherry, and cranberry. Thanks to carbonic maceration—where fermentation begins inside the intact berry in an oxygen-free tank—you also may get banana, kirsch, or bubblegum. Usually light bodied with good acidity, low tannins, low alcohol, silky mouthfeel, refreshing. Another very versatile food pairing wine.Not all wines are well suited for spring. Wines to think twice about before opening:• Heavy, full-bodied reds. Grippy tannins and higher alcohol of cabernet sauvignon, syrah/shiraz, mourvèdre can make them awkward springtime wines.• Mass-market blends with residual sugar. With candied fruit flavors, thick, syrupy textures, and elevated alcohol they are not sprightly in spring. Or any season, some would argue.• Heavy-oaked chardonnays and viogniers. Butter and vanilla notes easily overpower spring's lighter fare. Save those for winter.Tasting notes:• Rabble Sauvignon Blanc, Central Coast 2022: Nuanced, balanced, impressive interplay of tartness and hint of sweetness with plenty of fruitiness. $18-21 Link to my review• Mendes & Symington Monção e Melgaço Contacto Alvarinho Vinho Verde DOC 2023: Bright, refreshing, great minerality, outstanding quality. $22-27 Link to my review• Maison Sainte Marguerite Symphonie Rosé, Côtes de Provence 2022: Elegant, refined, classic, harmonious Provence rosé. Finesse, freshness with minerality, bright acidity. $24-28 Link to my reviewLast roundA book fell on my head. I can only blame my shelf.

La Vigne Mouton, Bray, BourgogneAu confins du Maconnais, du côté de Chissey, se trouve le domaine La vigne mouton. Ce curieux nom n'a rien à voir avec l'éventuelle présence d'ovidés mais avec le nom d'une parcelle en appellation Macon-Bray dont s'occupent Margaux Calland et son compagnon Valentin Richoux. C'est avec Margaux que j'ai eu le plaisir de discuter à l'occasion du salon annuel de l'AVBS. AVBS pour Artisans Vignerons de Bourgogne du Sud. Margaux est la présidente de cette association qui fédère, comme son nom l'indique, des artisans vignerons tous plus excitants les uns que les autres. C'était donc une évidence pour Le Bon Grain de l'Ivresse de s'intéresser à ce groupe avec sa présidente et d'examiner le travail de Margaux en tant que néo-vigneronne.Cet épisode nous permet également de retrouver Jean-Philippe Bret, grande figure du maconnais, pour un éclairage fondamental sur les Premiers Crus bourguignons.Merci Margaux et Jean-Philippe pour votre accueil et pour avoir répondu à mes questions.Réalisation : Romain BeckerPost-production : Emmanuel NappeyMusique originale : Emmanuel DoréGraphismes : Léna MaziluOn se retrouve très vite pour de nouvelles aventures viticoles.

"Wine is bottled poetry." - Robert Louis Stevenson Guest Introduction: Welcome to Exploring the Seasons of Life: Travel Edition! I'm Cindy MacMillan, and it's an absolute joy to share this adventure with you. Travel isn't just about where you go—it's about who you become along the way. And I'm so glad you're here, ready to start this journey together. If you love today's episode, I'd be so grateful if you shared it with your friends, spread the word on social media, or left a quick rating and review. Your support means everything—it helps us reach more travelers and dreamers just like you. Let's keep inspiring meaningful journeys together. Thanks for being part of the Exploring the Seasons of Life: Travel Edition community! Now, it's my pleasure to introduce today's guest, Karen Gregory. Karen Gregory is a lover of travel, good food, and great wine! Her wine travel adventures have included Italy, Spain, Greece, Croatia, Canada, Argentina, Uruguay, California, Oregon, and Washington, as well as little hidden gems in Rhode Island, the Ozarks, and Door County. Through her travels, her passion and appreciation for culture, ambiance, and wine experiences have grown and she's here to share that with us! Here's a glimpse of our conversation: 3:22 I've developed a deep appreciation for a wide variety of wines. It wasn't something I grew up around or knew much about in my twenties. Even in my thirties, I was just beginning to explore and try wines from different regions. 6:34 Five years later, most of my go-to wines are either from biofarms or biodynamic producers. They're organic, and many are even natural, which is considered the highest standard if you're looking for completely clean wines. 9:45 You've probably heard me mention Chateau Ste. Michelle many times. I'm not paid to promote them—I just genuinely love their wine. Even though they're conventional, I enjoy them, and I feel good when I drink them. 10:37 Here's the deal with Old World and New World wines. When I think of Old World, I automatically think of Europe—places like France, Italy, Spain, and naturally Portugal. Those regions just embody what we consider Old World. 16:01 Everyone loves the idea and ambiance of drinking wine in Tuscany—it sparks so much imagination. But Italy has so many incredible wine regions, and Tuscany is just one of them. That said, it does produce some truly great wines. 19:27 Here's the big takeaway for anyone listening: get out there and try some wine! If you love a good Cabernet Sauvignon, start by buying bottles from different regions. Try at least two to compare, then maybe add a third or fourth. Keep experimenting and refining your preferences, because every Cab is unique, and this process will help you discover what you truly like and don't like. 21:32 I'm probably not the best person to ask since I'm not a certified sommelier. BREAK: We're going to take a quick 30-second break—don't go anywhere! I have something truly special to share. Picture this: a magical winter wonderland where enchanting Christmas markets come alive. Join us December 3rd to 9th, 2025, for an unforgettable festive getaway to the Christmas Markets of Montreal and Quebec City with Collette. And here's a highlight you won't want to miss—on Day 6, we'll visit the breathtaking Montmorency Falls (maant·mr·en·see faalz), a true winter masterpiece. It's the perfect blend of nostalgia and holiday magic, ideal for friends and empty nesters alike. For all the details, visit PangeaWorldTravelAgency.com. Don't miss out—this is a holiday adventure you'll treasure forever! 27:00 What really clicked for me is that most people familiar with Willamette Valley, Oregon, know it's renowned for Pinot Noirs. But what stood out is that the region also produces some excellent whites, particularly Chardonnays, as well as other varieties like Syrah and Gamay. You can find Karen Gregory at: TheWinederer | Instagram Thank you for joining me on Exploring the Seasons of Life: Travel Edition!

Hello, wine friends! In this episode, I'm thrilled to introduce you to Canned Wine Co., a brand making waves by doing things differently. Instead of the usual bulk production, Canned Wine Co. sources premium single-varietal wines from Europe's top vineyards, putting quality first. Recently, I had the chance to visit the stunning Loire Valley, where I met winemaker Lionel Gosseaume and tasted his premium Gamay—first from the bottle, then from the can. The incredible part? You could barely tell the difference! I even joined the harvest, witnessing the dedication that goes into each grape, and now I want to share that experience with you. To dig deeper into the art and science of quality wine canning, I'm joined by Ben Franks, co-founder of Canned Wine Co. And a special thanks to Coravin, our sponsor for this episode, for giving wine enthusiasts the chance to explore wines one glass at a time without uncorking the entire bottle. Tune in for an inspiring chat, and don't forget to pour yourself something special!

C'est parti pour un nouvel épisode qui sent bon la quenelle et la bonne humeur ! Aujourd'hui, on papote avec Olivier Canal, le chef aubergiste du mythique bouchon lyonnais La Meunière. Originaire de Marseille, Olivier a troqué le chant des cigales pour les mâchons et il le dit lui-même : Lyon, c'est du bonheur.Avec son accent du Sud et son énergie communicative, Olivier est tombé amoureux de la cuisine lyonnaise jusqu'à en devenir un de ses fervents défenseurs. Chez lui, à La Meunière, on vient pour se régaler entre copains, boire du bon gamay du Beaujolais (avec modération, ou en alternant avec du blanc apparemment) ou même passer un moment intense en amoureux – parce que manger une andouillette à deux, c'est un peu une preuve ultime de l'amour, non ? (oui).Dans cet épisode on parle de :
durée : 00:02:15 - Au p'tit bonheur - Xavier, vigneron à Monthoux sur la commune de Saint Jean de Chevelu, commence par vendanger ses raisins rouges de cépage gamay. Les blancs ont encore besoin d'un peu de maturité avant d'être récoltés.
Wine is an alcoholic drink made from fermented fruit. Yeast consumes the sugar in the fruit and converts it to ethanol and carbon dioxide, releasing heat in the process. Wine is most often made from grapes, and the term "wine" generally refers to grape wine when used without any qualification. But note that, wine can be made from a variety of fruit crops, including plum, cherry, pomegranate, blueberry, currant, and elderberry. Different varieties of grapes and strains of yeasts are major factors in different styles of wine. These differences result from the complex interactions between the biochemical development of the grape, the reactions involved in fermentation, the grape's growing environment, and the wine production process. Like most of New York, the Hudson Valley is home to many grape varieties, including Cabernet Franc, Gamay, Syrah, and Albariño. Hybrid varieties like Noiret, Chelois, Seyval, and Baco Noir are also popularly grown throughout the area. The unique climate and soil are particularly beneficial for Native American, French American, and European grape varieties. J. Stephen Casscles rejoins the Nature Calls: Conversations from the Hudson Valley podcast as he talks about Wines of the Hudson Valley. He is a grape grower, winemaker and author, from Athens, NY, (Greene County) after an illustrious career as an attorney. In addition, he lectures on wine, grape cultivation, 19th century American horticulture and landscape architecture at botanical gardens and historical societies throughout New York and New England. In today's episode, Steve talks about his book Grapes of the Hudson Valley which includes a description of some of the basics of wine production. This can be challenging as the grape variety and the current year's weather (both winter and summer) can influence the sustainability and sweetness of the grapes. He touches upon the wide range of dessert wines on the market and where they are made. He also focuses on the people beyond the hybridizers. Due to the wide variety of grapes grown in New York, wine producers can produce a wide variety of hybrid wines. Listen to this episode and learn about the science and ‘art' behind wine production.

Le Beaujolais a longtemps souffert d'une image de vin de piètre qualité avec parfois des arômes fermentaires de type « banane ». Mais avec ses 12 appellations, le vignoble du Beaujolais abrite une production aussi diverse que riche et connait aujourd'hui un regain d'intérêt.Je me suis donc rendu récemment à Villié-Morgon, dans le Domaine de Colonat, à la rencontre de Thomas Collonge. Ce vigneron indépendant, qui représente la 7ème génération d'un domaine créé en 1828, cultive aujourd'hui avec sa femme Julie, 13 hectares de vignes dans six appellations : Morgon, Moulin-à-Vent, Régnié, Chiroubles, Beaujolais Villages et Beaujolais en blanc.Mais Thomas Collonge vient surtout de remporter le trophée de Meilleur Gamay du Monde en janvier dernier avec son Moulin-à-Vent Vieilles Vignes 2023.Il revient donc dans cet épisode sur cette prestigieuse récompense mais également sur ses cuvées, ses choix de vignification et cette région encore méconnue du grand public.Excellente dégustation
From The Wine Conversation (wine-conversation.com)"Episode Summary:-Jasper Morris explores the Mâconnais in our latest 10-Minute Masterclass. It is situated 50 miles to the south of Beaune and 50 miles north of Lyon. There are a thousand producers growing grapes, but a lot of their grapes go to the Cave Cooperatives. The soil is a clay-limestone mix, as is true for the Côte d'Or. Jasper explains that if it is called Mâcon it is almost certain to be chardonnay, and it certainly is if it is called Vire-Clessé or Pouilly-Fuissé. There is a little Pinot Noir in the region, which would be bottled as Bourgogne Rouge, and if Gamay is planted it will be called Mâcon with the village name attached. Regarding the taste of Mâcon, Jasper explains that there are three styles. Mâcon bought from a supermarket is bottled in considerable volumes, usually fermented in stainless steel, and is fresh, cheerful, mineral-driven, gulping wine, which can be very satisfying. The artisanal producers tend to age in barrel and the wines show a little more substance, and clearly have a more southern feel than the wines of the Côte Chalonnaise. “Pouilly-Fuissé, you can get up to 14 percent alcohol without it feeling too heavy, as they all have a thread of acidity underneath,” he notes. And then, Viré-Clessé can be more full-bodied, everything there is on a mini-plateau with several streams. You can also have a little residual sugar, a more late-harvest style that's unique in Burgundy.The big negociants have their own holdings or good relationships with the growers. In Pouilly-Fuissé, Jasper recommends looking out for Domaine Ferret, owned by the House of Jadot but independently run, Domaine Barraud, Château de Beauregard, Domaine Jacques Saumaize, Domaine Saumaize-Michelin, and Olivier Merlin, whilst over In Pouilly-Vinzelles, it's the Bret Brothers. In Viré-Clessé, Domaine Thevenet, Domaine André Bonhomme and Domaine Jean-Marie Chaland. For Mâcon and Mâcon-Villages, the co-operatives and small growers, as well as the interlopers from the north who wish to make chardonnay at more affordable prices, such as Domaine Leflaive and Domaine Lafon.Jasper's insider tip is to look for the premier crus in Pouilly-Fuissé which are already established, and the about-to-be-established premier crus in Pouilly-Vinzelles and Pouilly-Loché. “Amazing for the appellation,” Jasper notes. His obscure fact? The village in the Mâconnais called Chardonnay is not named after the grape. It was recorded in the 17th century, when the grapes grown there were red."You can also find Jasper's guest appearances on other Podcast/Video channels we work closely with: The Wine Conversation 67 Pall Mall TV Bringing Burgundy closer to you with every episode!Subscribe to my website and get full access to my scores, tasting notes, detailed write-ups on producers and much more:https://www.insideburgundy.com/register/See all our events at: https://www.insideburgundy.com/all-events/Daily updates on our Instagram: @jaspermorris.insideburgundy
From the great wine region of Piedmont, Italy comes the red wine called Dolcetto, which means “little sweet one” - but don't be fooled, this is not a sweet wine, although it is a red wine with flavors and aromas of crunchy red fruit. In our latest Italian Wine Adventure, we travel back to one of our favorite wine areas to see if Dolcetto should be on your wine list. Sometimes called the sommelier's secret weapon, this wine is less expensive than many wines from Piedmont, and can pair well with some classic Italian foods. We will say, though, that you need to try it first before you order it because this wine is a little atypical for an Italian wine. It is often compared to Gamay, and that is a pretty fair comparison, but it is not exactly the same wine. Don't say we didn't warn you. Learn more as we introduce you to Giuseppe, Paolo, and Luigi - the first names of the makers of these wines - and let you know which one of these Italian men you should take home!

Dans le précédent épisode, nous avons découvert comment Thibault Liger-Belair est devenu l'un des vignerons les plus cotés de Bourgogne. Né avec "une énorme cuillère en or dans la bouche" comme il aime à le répéter, Thibault Liger-Belair considère cependant que l'entrée de gamme d'un domaine constitue sa carte de visite et représente le savoir-faire d'un vigneron.Fort de cette conviction et aussi parce qu'il est tombé amoureux des paysages du Beaujolais lorsqu'il était étudiant, Thibault Liger-Belair a commencé à acheter des vignes du côté de Moulin-à-Vent en 2008 afin de créer le domaine des « Pierres Roses ».Il évoque dans cette seconde partie d'entretien, sa découverte des vins issus de vignes centenaires -et non greffées- et sa volonté de transmettre son savoir-faire à travers son incubateur « les Jeunes Pousses ».Ecoutez

Sip, share, shape our podcast!Temperatures are heating up and our natural instinct is to shift from red to white wine to tame the sweltering summer temperatures. SWTW takes on the task of finding the perfect chilled summer red wines perfect for every occasion! From Lambrusco to Syrah and a few in between, we hit the highlights so you, too, can pop the cork on red wine throughout the dog days of summer.What are the key elements which make a red variety perfect for serving at cooler temperatures (45-55 F)? High acidity, red fruit flavors, thin skins for low tannin and lower alcohol! Winemakers pick grapes at the perfect point, likely on the early side, to achieve the crunchy, bright, light fruity red wine style needed to put on the chill.Lambrusco is a moderately fizzy red made in the same way as Prosecco. Grape varieties are little known Maestri, Marani, Montericco, and Salamino and translate to vibrant fuchsia deliciousness in the glass. Gamay, most famous in Beaujolais as well as Pinot Noir are definitely in the perfect wheelhouse for summer chillables! SWTW faves include Louis Jadot Beaujolais Village and our previous guest Morét-Brealynn Wines Pinot Noir. What's not to love!?!The most surprising star of the summer chilled red wine show is cool climate Syrah! We'll let you listen in to the story, but Division Wine Co's Gamine wins our vote along with Unison Vineyard's New Zealand "And Relax"! Summer is here and we think it's the perfect time to put the chill on a great bottle of fruity red and sip your way through the season!Cheers!Charisse & KristiThanks for joining Somm Women Talk Wine!

Welcome to Bri Books! Our Wine Week series on the podcast has made me tipsy. As I burrow deeper into the wine world, I feel like every day I find a new grape, region, or literally hectare that I didn't know existed before. Wine is like traveling the world in a glass. Today's episode is all about the magical world of Swiss wine. In this episode, I'm sharing the best Swiss wines worth your money (and where to buy/ taste them), and revealing a bit about the history and significance of Swiss wine. The Swiss like to keep secrets. Of the 1.07 million hectolitres of wine produced in Switzerland each year, 98% is consumed within the country. Nonetheless, Swiss wines have become an open secret in the wine world. With six wine-growing regions and over 250 grapes being cultivated, Switzerland boasts an enormous variety of different terroirs. Today, there are six winemaking regions across Switzerland — Geneva, Three Lakes, German Switzerland, Ticino, Vaud, and Valais. In 2024, I want to sample the variety of St. Gallen wines in the Rhine valley and Lake Zurich regions; explore the vineyards of Geneva via TukTuk; take a luxurious bike ride through the Ticino region; and visit the Carnotzet of the Hotel de Ville in Lausanne where I can immerse myself in Lausanne's vineyard history. I want to indulge in Zurich's wine at vineyards, wine bars, and the Expovina Wine Fair. I sincerely see Switzerland in my future! All About Chasselas Grape: The Workhorse of Swiss Wine Chasselas is an indigenous Swiss white grape variety. A white grape grown all over the world, Chasselas grape is called Fendant in Switzerland and is the most widely planted variety in the country. Chasselas is a soft, often herbaceous wine, often consumed over pots of fondue and trays of raclette. Lightly spritzy, chalky, with hints of Swiss meadow herbs and a tart palate, this grape is like a breath of fresh air. Swiss Wines Worth Tasting Robin de Vignes, Vilette 2022 (Chasselas, Lavaux AOC): This wine is 100% Chasselas grape variety, and boasts a rich aroma of citrus and apple. The mineralogy is out of this world! This is the perfect wine for an early spring or early summer dinner party. Dôle des Monts Red, Gilliard 2020 (Valais AOC, Pinot Noir/Gamay): Consider this the perfect Swiss red wine for easy drinking. With elegant flavors of Gamay and Pinot Noir grapes, this full-bodied yet lightweight wine is superbly blended with harmonious tannins. It's perfect for pairing with red and white meat, as well as hard and soft cheeses. The deep ruby red hue gives way to a lightly fragranced wine with hints of ripe fruits. Weingut Fromm 2018 Pinot Noir Village (Pinot Noir, Graubunden): This is another excellent ‘everyday' wine from Switzerland. The grapes for Village are spontaneously fermented in open oak vats with 2 weeks of maceration. This light and cherry-driven Pinot Noir has slight acidity, and I love the muted flavors of black cherry and blackberries. The wine has an earthy texture with a slight touch of spice, but retains smooth, balanced tannins. Highly recommend! Caves du Paradis: Avalanche Fendant 2022, (Valais): This is a truly magical Swiss wine. The lemon flavors on the palette give way to delightful minimality and hints of nuttiness on the finish. I love this wine as an aperitif, or as a perfect mate for a fish course. The flavors also compliment Swiss culinary staples: raclette and fondue. I can't wait to crack open a bottle during the vernal equinox. My Favorite Spot for All Things Swiss Wine: The Lavaux Wine Bar in NYC The Lavaux Wine Bar was founded by three Swiss culinary and wine afficionados who wanted to bring the warmth, hospitality, and time-honored wine traditions of Switzerland to NYC. The name, 'The Lavaux Wine Bar,' pays tribute to the vineyards of Lavaux, Switzerland. It's my go-to spot for all things Swiss: food, cheese, and, of course, wine. I recommend a Swiss wine flight at The Lavaux, located at 630 Hudson Street in New York, NY.

Well, we'll tell you if you listen to this episode, but as a little amuse bouche, here's something to chew on.

Gamay: a high-yielding variety associated with youthful, fruity wine but which, in the right growing conditions, makes wonderful, structured wines. This episode explores the areas where Gamay is grown: Beaujolais of course as well as Loire, Savoie, Lorraine, Switzerland, the US, and New Zealand.
Thai food is one of the world's best cuisines, but pairing wine with it is difficult for many reasons - primarily its spiciness. In this episode, we break down how you can make finding a wine to drink with Thai food easy, and we review several different types of wines that make great pairings. We also talk about why some people bristle at the concept that there are even such things as “appropriate” wine and food pairings. And while we firmly believe there is an art to pairing wine and food, we also believe there are many choices you can make, not just one perfect choice. And, in this episode, we try a wine from a grape that we have never had before - Pineau d'Aunis - which comes from the Loire Valley and is a hidden gem. If you love Thai food and other spicy Asian dishes, listen in! This is for you!

Two winemakers join the podcast today to talk about the sneaky next big grape for wine: Gamay. Famous in Beaujolais, this grape has been marginalized for centuries by Pinot Noir, but it is now standing in the sun. Join Meghan Zobeck of M Zobeck Wines and John Adams of Wildsound Wine as we talk through the history and present of Gamay and litigate if its worthy of all they hype.
“I'm gonna wreck it!” In this episode, the Disney ReWINEd ladies talk about Adina's pick, and a personal favorite of hers, “Wreck-It Ralph.” Rachel chooses a quintessential 80's wine, the Gamay, as well as a surprising food pairing to have alongside their discussion. Adina shares the many iterations both the film and title character went through, and Rachel dives into, you guessed it, the film's score and soundtrack. Together they gush over the video game references and punchy one-liners in this feel-good pick. So sit back, grab some candy, and rewind back to Wreck-It Ralph! Cheers!

Another energetic, entertaining show with Serge! Serge Doré with his daughter Gabriele. Photo: JoAnn Actis-Grande Portsmouth Herald Serge Doré, importer of French wine (and American via Quebec…he's a man of many identities and a worldliness we can only aspire to!) and popular podcast favorite, joins us to talk about Beaujolais, one of his favorite regions. Like all the French regions with which he works, Serge has seen the ups and downs of Beaujolais and has stuck around through a lot in working with the producers here. In the show, Serge takes us through the evolution of the region. He details the rise and fall of the Beaujolais Nouveau craze, the aftermath, and the outstanding recent history of the region. He shares stories of producers he imports and gives us inside dirt. Here are the topics we cover: Serge began working in Beaujolais in 1979. He tells us about the region then and what it was like to meet the famed Georges Duboeuf and learn about Beaujolais from him. We discuss the phenomenon of Beaujolai Nouveau and how it was the rise and fall of the region (and how the crus are responsible for the rebirth of Beaujolais). We discuss the three main areas of Beaujolais: the basic Beaujolais AOP in the south, the Beaujolais-Villages AOP, mainly in the north, and the 10 Beaujolais Crus, all in the north. We discuss why soil and location matters so much in this area of the world and give ideas on the character of some of the crus: Regnie, Saint-Amour, Chiroubles, Brouilly, Cote de Brouilly, Fleurie, Chenas, and Julienas, Morgan and Moulin-a-Vent Older map from Beaujolais.com Serge describes the scenery, culture, and people of Beaujolais in a way only he can! It sounds like we all need to get there ASAP! Serge opines on how Burgundy and Beaujolais are different and the relationship between them. We discuss Serge's producers in Beaujolais and how they are part of the exclusive Terroirs Originels group (list of producers is here). His portfolio includes: Jean-Michel Dupré, Lucien Lardy, Laurent Gauthier, Pascal Aufranc, and Patrick Tranchand (you can get them in New Hampshire and Massachusetts or order them online) This is a DELICIOUS wine!!! We discuss the dynamic producers of Beaujolais, how they are coping with climate change, and Serge's advice for enjoying beautiful Beaujolais!

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! Feel free to share. _______________________________________________________________ Thanks to our sponsors this week: Wine Spies!
