This talk was recorded by Heritage Radio Network as a part of RAW Wine NYC 2019's Speakers' Corner - with Martina Celi (Costadilà), who worked alongside Ernesto for years, in conversation with Megan Krigbaum (PUNCH).One of the pioneers of natural Prosecco, Ernesto Cattel became a posterboy for artisanal winemaking in a region whose international success in the early 2000s saw both the vineyard and cellar become industrialised. As the demand for Prosecco grew internationally, growers abandoned their old hillside vineyards in favour of the easily mechanisable, easily sprayable, high-yielding valley floors. In 2005, Ernesto and a group of friends decided to do just the opposite, buying up parcels in the pre-Alpine foothills of Treviso. What followed was the development of a polycultural ideal that was as much about growing plants and nurturing livestock as it was about making delicious wine. Ernesto adopted biodynamics (one of the first to do so in the region) and went on to become one of the most strident advocates not only for clean farming but also of traditional Prosecco col fondo (‘sur lie’), whose international revival is in no small part thanks to him. So next time you enjoy a glass of cloudy Prosecco, take a moment to raise your glass to this force of passion and love who sadly passed away in the summer of 2018 at just 54 years of age. Join us for a look back at his life through a collection of 8 of his wines, and learn more about what made Ernesto just so unique.Wines being featured:450 slm 2017Ultracosta (Ernesto Magnum)Màt 2010Ombretta Agricola 2017Ratto 2006Móz 2017Join Heritage Radio Network on Monday, November 11th, for a raucous feast to toast a decade of food radio.

Today we are drinking what Megan Krigbaum cites as “A fancy man’s Black and Tan,” the Black Velvet. The Black Velvet is a beer cocktail made from a stout (often Guinness) and white, sparkling wine, traditionally Champagne. The drink is said to have originated at the Brooks’s Club on St. James’s Street in London, on the occasion of the death of Queen Victoria’s husband, Prince Albert, in 1861. Black Velvet Recipe: 3 OUNCES GUINNESS 3 OUNCES CHAMPAGNE Add Guinness to a coupe, a flute, or a collins glass. Top gently with champagne. Leave us some feedback, and share with your friends who are still mourning the death of Prince Albert. Music: Guinness Sauce by Radioactive Sparrow & Brown Torpedo
