Send us a textDive into the wonderful world of affordable French wine with our latest discovery: the Bouchard Aîné & Fils Chardonnay 2024, a remarkable $9.99 Costco find that proves exceptional quality doesn't require a hefty price tag.When I first spotted this bottle, I thought I'd stumbled upon an impossibly cheap Burgundian wine. While it's technically categorized as "wine of France" (their entry-level classification), this Chardonnay comes from Bouchard, a winery established in the early 1800s and now part of the prestigious Boisset Collection led by Jean-Charles Boisset – recently named Wine Enthusiast's Man of the Year. Talk about pedigree!What makes this wine special? The careful sourcing from southern and western French vineyards, with select higher-quality Burgundian Chardonnay blended in for complexity. The winemaking shows impressive attention to detail – four separate vineyard plots fermented individually, with one portion aged four months in oak and the remainder in stainless steel on lees. The result? A bright, juicy Chardonnay with delicate creaminess, tropical fruit notes, and balanced acidity that allows the flavors to unfold beautifully. Unlike California Chardonnays, you won't find pronounced butter notes here – just clean, refreshing, French elegance.The 2024 vintage's freshness is a significant advantage. Having been harvested last fall and quickly brought to market, this wine exemplifies why certain styles benefit from youth rather than age. Perfect for summer sipping, it pairs wonderfully with light fare like salads or seafood tacos, though it truly shines as a standalone pleasure. At just $9.99 at Costco ($12 elsewhere), this bottle demonstrates why exploring value wines can be so rewarding. Try it yourself and discover how "keeping it cheap" can still mean drinking very, very well!Check us out at www.cheapwinefinder.comor email us at podcast@cheapwinefinder.com

Send us a textWine bargain alert! I've just discovered what might be the steal of the year hiding in plain sight at Trader Joe's. The evaluna Mendocino Chardonnay 2023 is quietly sitting on shelves for a mere $9.99, while the same bottle commands $30-50 at other retailers nationwide.This isn't just any budget wine—it's a certified organic, sustainably farmed Chardonnay from Mendocino County crafted by the prestigious Boisset Collection. Jean-Charles Boisset, the renowned French-American wine entrepreneur behind brands like JCB, Deloach, and Raymond, clearly put serious care into this bottling before apparently discontinuing the Evaluna line. Their loss is our tremendous gain.What struck me most was how this wine defies typical California Chardonnay stereotypes. Instead of overwhelming butter and oak, you'll discover a more elegant, French-inspired style—lean, complex, and beautifully balanced with moderate 13.5% alcohol. Each sip reveals different flavor notes, from subtle toasty brioche to bright fruit, creating a sophisticated experience that would feel right at home alongside bottles three times the price. The cooler Mendocino climate gives this wine remarkable restraint and nuance.The current wine market downturn has created amazing opportunities just like this, reminiscent of 2008 when premium bottles were suddenly available at fantastic discounts. If you appreciate high-quality, organic wine and love a genuine bargain, grab several bottles while you can—this deal won't last forever. Have you discovered any exceptional wine values recently? I'd love to hear about your finds!Check us out at www.cheapwinefinder.comor email us at podcast@cheapwinefinder.com

Elu personnalité de l'année 2024 par la magazine américain Wine Enthusiast, Jean-Charles Boisset, bourguignon d'origine, découvre la Californie avec ses grands-parents à l'âge de 11 ans, en parcourant les missions catholiques de Californie où il visite la plus vieille cave de la région. Initié très jeune au vin par ses parents vignerons à Gevrey-Chambertin, il est époustouflé par les vins californiens et y reviendra plus tard pour y faire ses études et conquérir l'Amérique

Forbes once described Jean-Charles Boisset as “The James Bond of Wine,” a title befitting of the Frenchman, who embodies elegance and sophistication. But at his core, Jean-Charles is fond of nourishing others and sharing his passion for high-quality beverage and food with anyone he encounters. Jean-Charles and his sister Nathalie lead the current generation of his family's business, Boisset Collection, a global company that owns dozens of wineries across the world, including in California, France, England and India. According to Forbes, Boisset Collection generates annual sales of around $200 million and has an estimated value of $450 million. While his primary business is wine, Jean-Charles is also a spirits entrepreneur whose latest project has reunited him with The Beckmann Gonzalez family, known for their extensive history in tequila, in particular as the creators of Jose Cuervo.  The partnership yielded Casa Obsidiana, an ultra-premium tequila brand that unites the collective expertise of its founding team. Created using estate-grown, 100% Blue Weber agave, the tequila is aged in French Oak wine barrels that once contained Chardonnay from a Boisset Collection winery in Napa Valley. Available in Blanco, Reposado, and Añejo expressions, the tequilas are bottled in Mexican-made hand-crafted ceramic bottles and feature the brand's namesake obsidian stone. In this episode, Jean-Charles speaks about how he identifies opportunities to innovate and why he emphasizes taste, not trends, when planning new business ventures and developing new products. He also discusses lessons from prior experience in the spirits industry and how historical context is at the heart of the company's communication strategy. Show notes: 0:35: Interview: Jean-Charles Boisset, Co-Founder, Casa Obsidiana – Jean-Charles talks about his childhood dream to become a professional soccer player and why he chose to join the family business instead and why he doesn't live with regret. He also shares his observations on the current market for beverage alcohol and state of drinking culture, how premiumization impacts innovation, how to create “extraordinary” products and why he stresses the importance of affordability and accessibility. He also explains how the history of the Beckmann Gonzalez family is at the core of Casa Obsidiana's brand story, the impact of/influence on finishing the tequila in wine barrels and why he and his team thought the artisanally-inspired bottles would be “a wild success or abject failure.” Brands in this episode: Casa Obsidiana, Lunazul, Jose Cuervo

Let's face it: the agave spirits market is crowded. So, if you are looking to bring out a new tequila, you've really got to stand out. Casa Obsidiana, a brand that was released at the end of last year, is looking to do that on several fronts. By incorporating elements of modern art, heritage, and liquids substantially transformed by wine cask ageing, the brand is looking to make its mark on the ultra-premium market. But the promises of all those elements are a lot to live up to. We talk to co-founder Jean-Charles Boisset about yeast strains, barrel regimes and what it takes to cut through the noise.

Jean-Charles is a dreamer. In every arena, whether that be wine, spirits, fragrances, or jewelry, his forward thinking allows him to imagine the future far beyond the next bottle vintage or stylistic trend. He builds on history to fuel his innovation, whether that be to reduce packaging throughout his 30+ wine supply chains, or to introduce biodynamic and organic farming as a standard. With kindness, exuberance, and an open heart, Jean-Charles invites the world to clink glasses and share in the fruits of his labor, whether they be red, white, rosé, or sparkling, and celebrate the beauties of life.

Back in January, Gina and Julie got to sit down and talk with Jean Charles Boisset of the Boisset Collection. We were at the Naples Winter Wine Festival and this was before COVID-19. Little did we know that the ebullient winemaker would become our virtual BFF for happy hour as we all quarantined (or Sip In Place, as Boisset likes to say). Then came the past week and a half of unrest. Listening back to this interview, it feels like this is a good moment to hear from a Frenchman transplanted to Napa.  

On this episode, I chat with arguably the most interesting man in the world of wine, Jean Charles Boisset. We discuss his journey from the heart of the wine world in Burgundy, France to the prestigious Napa Valley and cover everything from his crazy parties at Raymond Vineyards to his collaboration with John Legend and Chrissy Tegan.

Wine is a passion for many people. In fact, Americans spend on an annual basis close to $30 billion dollars on their passion for wine. This passion is the raison d'etre for Jean-Charles Boisset, vintner and president of the Boisset Collection. On this week's episode of The Wealth Intersection, we are brought into the world of Boisset. From his beginnings in France in a French wine making family to his journey to Napa, California, Boisset brings a unique and passionate viewpoint to the world of wine. On the show, Boisset talks about how his family got started in the wine world and grew their business. He also discussed the challenges of the 2017 and 2019 wine country fires and how philanthropy was key to helping the area survive. Finally, Boisset discusses his entrepreneurship - including his partnership with John Legend's LVE wine brand. Join host Megan Gorman as she spends time with this interesting and passionate man, Jean-Charles Boisset.

Jean-Charles Boisset's visit to the Barrel to Bottle studios was a whirlwind. He couldn't be contained to just one episode, so we're releasing a bonus episode. Jean-Charles has also began dabbling in spirits, and he was nice enough to bring his three vodkas with him. 

Ladies and gentlemen, bon jour from the heart of Burgundy! The Barrel to Bottle crew has welcomed many guests over the last few years, but none of them have been quite like Jean-Charles Boisset. Trying to summarize this episode couldn't possibly do it justice. This flamboyant Frenchman walks the Barrel to Bottle team through his sparkling offers from Burgundy, and his award winning California property, Raymond Estates and more.

Join us for an interesting episode on heirloom beans, their origin and distinct flavors. We open up with my co-host Jean-Charles Boisset telling us of his love for local agricultural products and his respect for Rancho Gordo, the top local source not only for the beans, but the seeds to grow them. This episode is made possible by Oakville Grocery, part of Boisset Collection, a portfolio of wineries and lifestyle destinations with strong historical and family roots. First, as usual, we taste a few wines, inspired by the earthy flavors of beans. Todays wines include the 2016 Secret Indulgence Evoluna Chardonnay, a limited-edition clean and modestly rich, mineral-driven white wine. Next up is the 2016 Raymond Vineyards Napa Valley Reserve Merlot, an earthy, fruity and impossibly smooth red wine from St. Helena vineyards. Talking with Steve Sando, we learn how he hatched the idea for growing and seeking out heirloom beans through his travels to Mexico. He encountered many indigenous farmers growing unusual and uniquely flavorful beans in small quantities.Through trial and error, Sando discovered which varieties would adapt to California and then started planting and growing them. He takes great pride in helping out the small farmers in Mexican states like Guerrero by regularly visiting and buying products from them. Rancho Gordo now grows close to a half-million pounds of beans per year and has an online monthly bean club, for fans who want to receive a regular supply. The package might include little-known varieties such as Yellow Indian Woman, Rebosero or Vaquero. It’s a priority of Sando’s to sell all beans within one year of harvest, making them not only fresh but soft enough to cook without soaking overnight.

Today, my co-host Jean-Charles Boisset and I sit down to discuss everyone’s favorite treat: chocolate. We talk about the nuances and complexities in chocolate that strike a chord with winemakers. Today we taste the 2015 JCB Passion red Bordeaux blend, bringing cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, petit verdot and merlot together, showcasing the best Napa has to offer. Its persistence and length make a fun pairing for the chocolate. We also sip on the lovely Buena Vista Angelica, a sweet but not cloying dessert wine made of the historic Mission grape, a thick-skinned grape with deep tannins and rich flavors of dried fruit, hazelnut and vanilla creme. This episode is made possible by Oakville Grocery, part of Boisset Collection, a portfolio of wineries and lifestyle destinations with strong historical and family roots. Chocolate has long been a passion for confectioner and artist Patricia Doyle of Farm Chocolates, her line of handcrafted organic chocolates. Doyle makes a variety of sweets, from bars to caramels, and works through each step from scratch and by hand, rather than using more conventional machines for tempering, cutting and dipping the candies. Her top pick for base chocolate is a 70% cacao from Columbia, with a nice balance and hints of coffee. Doyle date-stamps her sweets since they don’t contain any preservatives. She even molds the chocolates by hand so each piece is slightly different in shape, a detail she admires. Aside from crafting the luxury goodies, Doyle also designs her own labels. Sustainability is a top priority for Doyle, and to that end, she minimizes waste, uses compostable packaging and seeks out efficient delivery methods. The chocolates speak for themselves in flavor and texture. Thanks for listening, and stay tuned for more shows in the coming weeks.

  This episode kicks off with a chat about Michael Pollan’s Omnivore's Dilemma and the association with our upcoming guest, Angelo Garro of Omnivore products. We talk about salt as a critical ingredient in cooking and diet, one which often enhances a dish. The wines we taste today include the 2016 1881 Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, with a label displaying the map of Napa’s wine regions. The rich red wine bursts with depth, spice and energy. We also taste the JCB No 3 Pinot Noir, a blend of grapes from Burgundy and Sonoma that my co-host Jean-Charles Boisset says represents the best marriage of France and America, his homeland and his adopted country. This episode is made possible by Oakville Grocery, part of Boisset Collection, a portfolio of wineries and lifestyle destinations with strong historical and family roots. Born in Sicily to a family of cooks, Angelo Garro grew up around good food from a young age. While he’s a blacksmith by trade, he missed his family’s home cooking as he traveled the world. He launched his Omnivore line of salts, herb blends and sauce to reproduce those familiar flavors. His flavor boosters caught the attention of Alice Waters, who used his mixes, and author Michael Pollan, who accompanied him during foraging expositions, documenting the experience in the third chapter of The Omnivore’s Dilemma. Foraging was natural to Garro, as it was a skill he learned from his grandmother. Eventually, he launched a Kickstarter campaign, with German film director and friend Werner Herzog as narrator of his pitch video, and raised over $100,000 to launch the business in 2015. The Omnivore line also features hot sauces and a Sicilian savory flavor concentrate, all made with fresh local organic ingredients.

Recognizing that wine isn’t the only beverage crafted in California’s wine country, my co-host Jean-Charles Boisset and I talk about the long history of apple orchards in America, and in particular, in Sonoma County—with the heart of the industry in Sebastopol. We also discuss how his family has a history of hop growing, something Jean-Charles still continues to do with hop trellises at his properties. Today, rather than tasting wine, we sample Boisset’s La Captive Cider, produced in Sonoma. We then taste the Oakville Grocery 1881 Pilsner, made with Boisset estate hops, by one of the guests on this episode Nile Zacherle. This episode is made possible by Oakville Grocery, part of Boisset Collection, a portfolio of wineries and lifestyle destinations with strong historical and family roots. Ethic Cider’s Ned Lawton joins us for our first interview covering his hand-crafted hard ciders from Sebastopol. With a commitment to sustainability, Lawton produces small batches of ciders from his certified organic orchards just north of Sebastopol. Using apples indigenous to the region, Lawton’s ciders range from the Golden Rule, Ethic’s signature orchard blend to the Gravitude, made from heritage varieties, to the limited-release pink-colored Scarlett, infused with blackberries and raspberries. Next up is craft beer, or to be more specific, origin beers with Nile Zacherle, founder and brewmaster of the Mad Fritz craft beer from St. Helena. A winemaker at David Arthur, Zacherle imparts elements of winemaking into his beer making, sourcing the barley, water and even hops from specific local purveyors and areas. Mad Fritz bottle labels alone are works of art, replicating detailed drawings from Aesop’s Fables. With 40 different beers rotating in production at a given time, Zacherle continues to add to his count, creating modern takes on several well known beer styles such as pilsner, imperial rice stout, IPA and saison. Currently, Zacherle is producing a private label pilsner lager for Oakville Grocery. Thanks for listening, and stay tuned for more shows in the coming weeks.

In this episode, my co-host Jean-Charles Boisset and I discuss the meaning of good food and how the Good Food Foundation has createdt a certification process to reward foods that not only taste delicious, but respect the environment. As with each episode, we also taste two wines; this week’s selection includes the JCB Infinity NV Sparkling Crémant de Bourgogne and 2015 Raymond Vineyards 1½ Acres Bordeaux blend. This episode is made possible by Oakville Grocery, part of Boisset Collection, a portfolio of wineries and lifestyle destinations with strong historical and family roots. Good Food Awards Merchants and Communications Manager Katherine Harris helps dispel any misunderstandings about the definition of good food. We learn of the strict criteria the foundation uses to judge and rank the more than 2,000 products submitted to their Good Food Foundation. The foundation currently has 13 food categories and over 300 judges from an array of food specialty areas, to award deserving products with the coveted Good Food Award, which appears on the product label. Founder Sarah Weiner spent time working with Alice Waters and the Slow Food movement in Europe before launching these awards a few years ago. Harris tells us that there are dozens of products at Oakville Grocery sporting their recognizable award, including crackers, chocolates, and caramels.

This fun episode covers the two basic food groups in wine country; cheese and charcuterie! Co-host Jean-Charles Boisset and I talk about the wonderful craft cheeses and meats made fresh in the area. The wines we taste today include the 2016 DeLoach Vineyards Estate Chardonnay and 2015 DeLoach Vineyards Estate Pinot Noir, both from Boisset’s certified organic and Biodynamic Russian River Estate, which pair perfectly with our cheese and meat selections. This episode is made possible by Oakville Grocery, part of Boisset Collection, a portfolio of wineries and lifestyle destinations with strong historical and family roots. To shed light on the cheeses of Sky Hill Napa Farms, we talk with Will McCosker, whose family founded the goat cheese farm when he was a child. McCosker reminisces about their first pet goat, Oscar McCosker, and how the farm got its start. He talks about the varieties of goat cheeses Sky Hill produces, from fresh to flavored chèvre, and goat feta cheese. The milk for all varieties comes from their goat herd, which has grown to over 500 animals. We hear from Assistant Cheesemaker Patrick McKeon, who takes us through the cheesemaking process. McKeon talks about farmstead cheese, a term that refers to the milk used in production originating from a single farm and herd—parallel to estate wine that originates from a single vineyard property. Moving from cheese to meat, we sit down with Pete Seghesio of Journeyman Meat Co. in Healdsburg to learn more about his hand-crafted and cured meats. After extensive travels in Italy, Seghesio designed his  meat market to replicate some of the most striking shops near Rome. Borrowing European techniques, he ferments his meats at low temperatures, each in individual fermentation rooms, allowing more flavor development. He also ages the meats twice as long as typical American meats. Seghesio recently entered into a joint project with Oakville Grocery to craft heritage salumi using Boisset’s finest wines from esteemed vineyards like DeLoach and Buena Vista Winery.

Get an inside peek at this historic Victorian located next door to Oakville Grocery. Co-host Jean-Charles Boisset shares his love of history, stemming back to his childhood in Burgundy, and reflects on the inspiration for the museum and the 1881 Napa wines. Wines we taste today are the 1881 Blanc de Blanc sparkling wine, made of 100 percent chardonnay grapes along with the 2016 1881 Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon. This episode is made possible by Oakville Grocery, part of Boisset Collection, a portfolio of wineries and lifestyle destinations with strong historical and family roots. We talk with Ali Madrid, tasting room manager at 1881 and learn more about the setting, its bountiful collectibles and  the 16 American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) in Napa. Madrid shares a few of the tasting experiences available in the salon, and then introduces us to the gorgeous outdoor patio. Next, we sit down with 1881 Winemaker Thane Knutson. We hear about how he started at Raymond Vineyards a decade ago and brings his winemaking insights to the newest line of 1881 Napa wines.  From the sparkling wine and rosé, to the chardonnay and red blends, Knutson describes the winemaking techniques. We learn more about the AVA collection, bringing visitors an opportunity to taste side-by-side across the various regions in Napa Valley.

In this episode on the unexpected, Jean-Charles Boisset and I enjoy talking about the finer items in the store, including caviar and a selection of highly coveted wines by the glass or taste, that visitors may be surprised to discover in the same location as sandwiches and potato chips. The wines we taste today include JCB No 21 Brut Cremant de Bourgogne, bubbles that work beautifully with caviar, along with the 2015 Secret Indulgence Tarot Cabernet Sauvignon—showing that even red wine works with the tiny eggs. This episode is made possible by Oakville Grocery, part of Boisset Collection, a portfolio of wineries and shops with strong historical and family roots. Today we interview Oakville Grocery Wine Director Ed Maass, who shares insights into the mission of the Oakville Grocery’s new wine program in Napa. A nitrogen gas wine-preservation system allows guests to sample a dozen wines by the glass, including a selection from small producers that you otherwise might not have an opportunity to taste. But the unexpected element is the small selection of wines that are super high-end and extremely difficult to access. It's a surprise to see Screaming Eagle offered at $120 for a single ounce or $600 for a 5-ounce glass. Another unexpected item at the grocery is Tsar Nicoulai Caviar, one of California’s few caviar producers. We speak with Tsar Nicoulai Vice President Otto Szilagyi and learn about the artisanally crafted white sturgeon roe that is farm-raised in a sustainable environment not far from Sacramento. We talk about the mystery of the eggs, their rating system, and how they are delicately and precisely brined. Thanks for listening, and stay tuned for more shows in the coming weeks.

In this episode, Jean-Charles Boisset and I talk about our other favorite beverage besides wine: coffee, and how it plays such an important role in most people’s mornings. But as visitors tour Napa Valley, it's not easy to find a good cup as you drive up and down Highway 29. Oakville Grocery has forged a relationship with a master of coffee selecting and brewing: Derek Bromley of Ohm Coffee Roasters. We taste the 2017 JCB No 33 Chardonnay as well as the 2016 Buena Vista Winery Chateau Buena Vista Cabernet Sauvignon. This episode is made possible by Oakville Grocery, part of Boisset Collection, a portfolio of wineries and lifestyle destinations with strong historical and family roots. Our interview today is with Derek Bromley, the founder of Ohm Coffee Roasters. Bromley's background as a sommelier informs his astute sense of smell and taste, which he now focuses toward coffee. Derek had his first cup of coffee (milked down and sugared up) when he was only five years old, and ever since he’s had an intense passion for the libation. He chats with us about the thousands of small, family coffee growers and how the quality of the bean dictates the style of roasting. We learn about the new hipster roasters that launched the light-roast movement as a backlash to the heavy-handed roasting of the big-name coffee moguls. His roasts fall right in between, bringing out subtle citrus flavors yet roasted enough to bring out bold flavors. Thanks for listening, and stay tuned for more shows in the coming weeks.

In this episode, I sit down with my co-host Jean-Charles Boisset to introduce this segment on the future of food. Boisset's passion for supporting local purveyors and farmers is at the heart of his philosophy on food. We also sip on the refreshing 2015 JCB No 76 Chardonnay, a rich and full-bodied white wine with subtle hints of oak and a light freshness. We also taste the 2016 Raymond Vineyards Generations Cabernet Sauvignon, with most of the grapes originating from St. Helena vineyards. This velvety and weighty red wine is simply divine, mouth coating and well-balanced. This episode is made possible by Oakville Grocery, part of Boisset Collection, a portfolio of wineries and lifestyle destinations with strong historical and family roots. Our interviews include Perry Hoffman, chef/partner at Boonville Hotel, and Gibson Thomas, publisher of Edible Marin and Wine Country. Hoffman recently took the helm at his uncle Johnny Schmitt’s 15-room Boonville Hotel restaurant after stints at the highly acclaimed Shed in Healdsburg and Etoile Restaurant. He talks of his background and immersion in the local food culture in Napa Valley with both his grandparents and parents, who were equally influential in his love of the kitchen. As a kid, he cut his teeth working at their Yountville restaurant The French Laundry (they were the original owners). Hoffman appreciates the inclusive nature of the area and strongly supports local food and wine artisans, a philosophy he shares with Oakville Grocery. The future of food revolves around the seasons and the farmers, and he feels deeply responsible for and committed to encouraging and inspiring local farmers to grow amazing produce. Likewise, Edible Marin and Wine Country publisher Gibson Thomas supports local purveyors and has been featuring them for a decade in her publication. Thomas adores the local farmers markets but knows they are mostly seasonal, so she's thrilled to see the year-round commitment to local, organic, Biodynamic and sustainable ingredients and wine at Oakville Grocery. She continues to support the growers and artisans, covering them in her quarterly magazine and making their products part of her personal lifestyle.

No big deal on the latest episode Matt sits down with the largest wine producer in Burgundy, Jean Charles Boisset! We discuss making wine from Burgundy to the South of France to Napa and Russian River Valley. Jean explains how his grandparents being part of the French Resistance in the Second World War played a part in his interest in California wine and we sip through his impressive new line of Vodkas.

As we approach the end of another year, now my 6th On The Wine Road, I'd like to reach back to share a version of this previous post. It's been an extreme pleasure to meet many fascinating personalities in the wine business. This recording highlights those who have expressed their passion about the wine industry, from Napa Valley and Sonoma County to Hopland and places in between. The winery owners, winemakers and growers I have chosen speak eloquently, philosophically, poetically, and often spiritually about wine and vineyards. I'm confident that if you listen it will make the wine you love taste even better. Cheers! Guests include Greg LaFollette of Alquimista Cellars, Julie Johnson of Tres Sabores, Ulysses Van der Kamp of Van der Kamp Vineyards, Mark Topel of Topel Wines, Jean-Charles Boisset of Boisset Family Estates, the late George Macleod of MacLeod Family Vineyard (who we lost earlier this year), Delia Viader of Viader Vineyards and Winery, Gary Breen of Campovida, and Randy Ullom of Kendall-Jackson/Jackson Family Wines.

Sommelier and author Marnie Old and winemaker Jean-Charles Boisset of Domaine de la Vougeraie, have co-authored a book, Passion For Wine: The French Ideal and the American Dream, which has some truly innovative ways to help you understand why you like certain wines and not others. In this episode, Marnie and Jean-Charles share with us why it's so hard for people to identify their personal preferences in wine, how to use the "Spectrum of Style" as a wine pairing tool, the easy way to know if an expensive wine is worth the price, and more! To learn more about the resources mentioned in this episode, visit the show notes.

Tom Simoneau is back today with Brian Maloney, winemaker at De Loach Vineyards, in to talk with Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger. He is also in charge of the Sonoma County wines of the Boisset collection and he also made a sweepstakes-winning wine for Buena Vista. Brian’s great grandfather planted vineyards and founded a vineyard at the turn of the 20th century. He was born and raised in Sonoma County and his family has farmed for over 100 years. He attended UC Davis and right after worked for Greg La Follette at De Loach, and for Jean-Charles Boisset. He purchased the Buena Vista winery in Sonoma and they are bringing it back to life. They replanted some vineyards and these wines are the result. Brian tells about Jean-Charles, who studied at USF and UCLA and is married to Gina Gallo. Dan Berger tells that the Boisset wine empire is one of the most revered in Europe, with great winemaking teams all over Burgundy. They already knew an awful lot about wine when he came to California. He speaks glowingly of California wine. Tom says he takes a lot of heat in France for that. Dan says he’s really quite a spokesman for California wine. Brian says he inspires you to make a better wine and it’s what they’re doing in the vineyards and in the wineries. De Loach, founded by Cecil De Loach who was a fireman, made great wine and then sold the winery and started Hook & Ladder. They’ve been on this show too, last Aug. 15. It’s a cooler area of the Russian River Valley in his area that they call Olivette. Dan says the most consistent Zinfandels come from there, old vines still producing good tonnages and great wine. The Chardonnay vines are right in front of their tasting room. They taste a 2016 De Loach Chardonnay. The fleur-de-lis (which is French for "lily") crest is embossed on the label. This Chardonnay is rich but with good acidity and tropical fruit like underripe pineapple and some really appealing citrusy notes. Tom says it has both warm and cool region flavors. Brian says it has richness and freshness. Next they taste a Russian River Pinot Noir that it bottled to support the Russian River food bank. They have done this every year since 2009. It's a 2017 Pinot Noir that is so young that it's a shame to open it. Dan says you can taste the potential but you don't taste what it is going to be. Dan says it's a real winemaker's wine because you have to understand the vision of the winemaker. They bottled it right before harvest, only about 2 months ago. Brian Maloney is the winemaker at Buena Vista too, and does a project called JCB for Jean-Charles. Next they taste a wine he calls OFS, which Tom says stands for Our Finest Selection. Dan says it is about 4 to 6 years away from optimum aging. Tom says Brian's wine is big and complex, that the fruit was picked correctly and not overdone in the winery. In a great vintage he will make 1000 cases. Tom says there are a lot of Pinots that cost more and are not as good as this. The next wine is  from their Marin County project. There are only a couple hundred acres of grapes growing in Marin County, on only 3 vineyard sites that they work with. Dan says it is very cold out there and it's marginal territory for grape growing. Brian agrees that the yields there are not very high Barry Herbst tells about the new Bottle Barn online store, which will have its own flash sales and allows for shipping to almost all the United States. Next they taste the Maboroshi Pinot Noir, made from grapes from the Mabaroshi vineyard. (It's on the left of the bottles lineup picture, above.) It's a 2014 and he says it needs at least 10 years to mature. Sonoma Coast, Russian River Valley and Sebastopol Hills are the source areas. Dan says this one will age longer than any of the others from today, up to 25 years. He has worked at this site with De Loach since 2004.

On this podcast I chat with principles from 5 wineries who have been chosen to attend Wine & Spirits Magazine's Top 100 Tasting Event in San Francisco on October 9th. It's a spectacular evening that includes some of San Francisco's top restaurants. The recordings you'll hear are from past interviews with Jason Drew of Drew Family Wines, Jared Brandt of Donkey & Goat, Cathy Corison of Corison Winery, Eric Sussman of Radio-Coteau, and Jean-Charles Boisset of Raymond Vineyards. Also, publisher and senior editor Joshua Green explains the lengthy process of the picking the top 100 wines.  If you can't make it to the event, pick up Wine & Spirits special Winter issue being released next week, or peruse the Top 100 list online.

Grammy, Golden Globe, Tony, and Oscar–winning singer-songwriter, John Legend joins us on the big show to unveil his latest collaboration with legendary winemaker Jean-Charles Boisset — a delicious Côtes de Provence Rosé. Also, Emma and Dan gorge on the best booze-infused ice cream in America.

Jean-Charles Boisset, The Boisset Collection, oversees his family wineries in France (Burgundy, Rhone and Languedoc) and in California (Buena Vista Winery, Raymond Vineyards and De Loach Vineyards). He's authored a book and created the lifestyle brand, JCB by Jean-Charles Boisset. Since 2009 Dominique Demarville has served as Cellarmaster at Veuve Clicquot, which celebrates the 200th anniversary of the release of its blended rosé Champagne. He discusses the legacy of Madame Clicquot.This show is broadcast live on Wednesday's at 2PM ET on W4CY Radio – (www.w4cy.com) part of Talk 4 Radio (http://www.talk4radio.com/) on the Talk 4 Media Network (http://www.talk4media.com/).

This interview began as a discussion concerning the 40th anniversary celebration of Raymond Vineyards’ first vintage release. Always the innovator, owner Jean-Charles Boisset had it bottled with a gold embossed red velvet label. No, really. This inspired me to sit down with him to discuss his creative inspiration. That led me to present other wine producing innovations he has been offering from Buena Vista Winery (Sonoma Valley) and JCB by Jean-Charles (Napa Valley). I enjoy interviewing J.C. because I never know what to expect from him. I take that back. I do know what to expect and it’s his playful irreverence that tempts me to return. This is the extended version of what aired on my radio show. An EP of JC, if you will. Enjoy. Find more podcasts, upcoming events and wine trivia at OnTheWineRoad.com

In honor of Valentine's Day this week, Cogill's explore "The Perfect Pairing" of romantic movies and wine couples in love. "Sleepless in Seattle," "Amelie," and "Shakespeare In Love" are just some of the movies that make them swoon. Wine expert, Hayley Hamilton Cogill, toasts Kelly and JJ Menozzi's "Alluve Wines" from Walla Walla, along with the California wine country love story of Jean Charles Boisset and Gina Gallo. They are also "over the moon" for the delicious pairing between Amy & Joel Aiken and the Melkas. It's all about romance on this week's show.

On this first day of 2017 I’m presenting my show from the last day of 2016. On the final broadcast of the year I wanted to highlight those who have expressed their passion about the wine industry. The winery owners, winemakers and growers I have chosen have done so eloquently, philosophically, poetically, and often spiritually. I'm confident that if you listen it will make the wine you love taste even better. Cheers! Guests include Greg LaFollette of Alquimista Cellars, Julie Johnson of Tres Sabores, Ulysses Van Der Kamp of Van Der Kamp Vineyards, Mark Topel of Topel Wines, Jean-Charles Boisset of Boisset Family Estates, George Macleod of MacLeod Family Vineyard, Delia & Janet Viader of Viader Vineyards and Winery, and Gary Breen of Campovida.
