From Epstein to Prince Albert of Monaco-Wealth & Power on immoral ground The mystery surrounding Jeffrey Epstein continues—especially when it comes to Zorro Ranch, his secluded New Mexico compound that many believe never received the scrutiny it deserved. While other Epstein properties were heavily investigated, questions remain about what may have happened at the remote ranch and why it was largely overlooked. In this episode, investigative journalist and former intelligence chief Robert Eringer joins the conversation. Having built Monaco's first intelligence service for Albert II, Prince of Monaco, Eringer witnessed firsthand how power, wealth, and influence can shield elite figures from consequences. We explore the darker side of elite networks, corruption, and the unanswered questions surrounding Epstein's empire.

Bodega Balcona, situada en un entorno privilegiado de montaña en Bullas, defiende la elaboración de vinos auténticos y artesanos que huyen de procesos industriales y aditivos químicos. Esta bodega familiar, cuyo nombre rinde homenaje a la abuela de la actual propietaria por su espíritu emprendedor en los años 40, utiliza únicamente levaduras naturales de la uva para que cada añada refleje fielmente el clima de su tiempo. Como parte de su compromiso con la artesanía regional, la bodega realizará catas comentadas en los centros de artesanía de Lorca y Cartagena entre marzo y noviembre, donde sus vinos —como el blanco Mabal o su rosado de Merlot— se maridarán con productos locales como almendras de la zona, queso de Murcia al vino y embutidos de chato murciano, la primera tendrá lugar el 27 de marzo en Lorca y la siguiente el 10 de abril en Cartagena. Además de estas citas, la bodega ofrece experiencias singulares en su propio viñedo, destacando las cenas de luna llena en verano, que combinan alta gastronomía y música de saxofón en un entorno sin contaminación lumínica.

David and Dan David Ramey, founder of Ramey Wine Cellars, joins Dan Berger and Daedalus Howell on California Wine Country. He has been on CWC before, but it was a while ago, on this episode in 2018 and again here in 2019. The weather today is unseasonably warm, but it doesn't affect Dan's work. People tell him it seems he has the greatest job in the world. They think he just has to drink wine and write about it. But Dan actually drinks very little, when tasting and evaluating wine. The better the wine, the less of it you need to drink to appreciate high quality. “It’s not about volume, it’s about character,” says Dan. “Wine is food. It's fermented grape juice and it goes with food. You might get a little relaxed but you you don't drink wine to get drunk,” declares David. Dan reminds everyone, “Life’s too short to drink bad wine.” Dan Berger declares that Chardonnay today is better than it has ever been, and he thinks David Ramey can explain why. David thinks that the Chardonnay producers went down the wrong path, when rich, hedonistic wines, fruit bombs, were popular. Robert Parker was an influential wine critic and he liked that style. David Ramey’s Chardonnays represent a reversal of that trend and an appeal to wine lovers who know that Chardonnay can do much more than those big buttery fruit bombs that don’t age well. CWC is brought to you by Deodora Estate Vineyards. Visit Deodora to discover 72 acres in the Petaluma Gap that are producing exceptional Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling. Sip the difference!  MS in Enology David Ramey describes his pathway into the profession of winemaking. He grew up in Sunnyvale, a schoolmate of Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. He attended UC Santa Cruz from 1969-1973, when the campus was brand new. He worked as a waiter where he also had the chance to taste wine. He thought he would go and teach English in Colombia, but he never made it there. He was driving from Mexicali to Hermosillo and one day he describes a coup de foudre, French for a lightning strike, when he realized he should make wine. It’s something that people like, it’s not bad for the environment, it’s an aesthetic statement, lot to like about it. So he applied to UC Davis in enology. He had to take all his college level math and science courses at San Jose State before he could start the major. He graduated with a Master of Science in Enology. Several of his fellow students became famous winemakers. They are tasting one of David’s Chardonnays, which is not chilled. “Chardonnay is the red wine of whites.” Both whites he brought are 2015s and the reds are both 2013s. Both combine richness, strong acidity and good structure. Claret David went to France after he graduated. “I’m a classicist,” he says. He wanted to go where people have been making wine for a very long time, to learn how to do it. He ended up working in Bordeaux. Then he worked a harvest in Australia. They processed 37,000 tons of grapes that time. Next they taste the Claret. That name is protected now but David says they can still use it, they are grandfathered in. It is a generic British English term for a Bordeaux wine. The French claimed it, despite the fact that there is no place named Claret. It’s just a generic word, but it was ceded to the EU in trade negotiations. Ramey also treademarked two varietal blend names for themselves. Their Left Bank Blend is a Cabernet based blend. Template is another name, modeled on the Right Bank, so it is Merlot based. This is all with Sonoma County grapes. Dan adds that the name Ramey on the label indicates a higher level of quality, by itself.

Right now, many in the wine world are freaked about the decline in wine drinking. Advice: relax, take a deep, cleansing breath. A nice, chilled rosé also might help. Wine is a lifestyle choice. By their very nature, lifestyle choices are always in chaotic, often irrational flux. Examples from the wine world:• Merlot was a big thing at the end of the last century. Women in particular enjoyed it because it usually was softer and smoother than cabernet sauvignon or syrah or some of those bombastic wines from northwestern Italy you could not drink until they were at least six years (and preferably 10-15 years) old. California winemakers made merlot you could drink when you got home from the store. The market lapped it up. Then the movie Sideways. Miles Raymond (Paul Giamatti) proclaimed: “I am NOT drinking any f**king Merlot!” It did not matter Miles hated merlot only because his ex-wife liked merlot, not for any fault in the varietal. Suddenly, a plot point in a popular movie involved bashing merlot. Merlot sales plummeted. Drinkers made new lifestyle choices. Merlot did not change. It remains one of the world's great varietals and blending wines. But, still, “I ain't drinking *** merlot!” became a meme.AI generated illustration• Blousy, oaky, buttery, big fruit chardonnays were a big thing in late 1980s and 1990s. They didn't go very well with food—okay, they worked with movie theatre popcorn—but ladies, in particular, were not pairing it with food. They were sipping it in the country club's outdoor bar after a round of golf or a tennis match or by-the-glass at a big chain restaurant where wine-food pairing was irrelevant. Big chardonnay was the wine equivalent of comfort food. It was a transition from sweet wines, soft drinks, or cocktails. Lush, approachable, ripe fruit, vanilla, butterscotch, creamy mouthfeel. What was not to like? Then those drinker's palates matured, or maybe it was just time for a lifestyle change. At the turn of the century, ABC (Anything But Chardonnay) became the next bandwagon to hop onto. White zin, pinot grigio, Veuve Clicquot, prosecco, sauv blanc, even dry riesling (for gosh sakes) was the next de rigueur pour for the dialed-in parvenu. “Anything But Chardonnay” was the incantation—unless it was an un-oaked, subdued malolactic conversion chardonnay, then… well, maybe.AI generated illustration• In the 1980s and especially the 1990s, monster, jammy, very high alcohol, zinfandel fruit bombs became a big thing, especially among manly men. Let the ladies sip insipid white zin, some gals even put ice cubes in their tumbler glass (shudder). Big zin was hedonistic macho indulgence. The 16-plus percent ABV and the overly-ripe fruit meant the wine tasted sweet even if laboratory tests proved it was “dry.” The high alcohol made it more a “cocktail wine” than anything a reasonable person would pair with food. Except, maybe, with a huge slab of fat-dripping beef you just removed from your expensive backyard grill fired by mesquite wood you harvested yourself with your high-powered chainsaw. Throw in a plate of fried onion rings and a loaded baked potato, and we've got a real meal here, buddy. A hearty slap on the back and backward ball cap is optional. Okay, some research indicates there is only marginal male preference between male and female in this wine category, but the zeitgeist then (and now) was big zin was male while lighter, “more feminine” (whatever that is supposed to mean) wine was female. In any event, the stereotypes and lifestyle choices did not hold in the 21st century. With blowback from wine professionals such as sommeliers, whose job is to pair with food, and wine writers, whose job is to constantly come up with something new in 500 words or less, zin today is stylistically fragmented. Lighter and more food-friendly red zin occupies a growing middle ground, flanked by white zin (which still outsells red zin) and monster zin. The wine world carousel continues to spin.AI generated illustration Lifestyle choices regarding wine and alcohol in general experience constant fluctuation. In the 2010s, for instance, some Gallup Polls suggested wine was approaching beer as the alcohol delivery vehicle of choice. What heady days those were for vintners and for bank vice presidents ready to loan money to create new vineyards and expand or create new wine operations. Then the 2020s slapped them both in the face with the reality of lifestyle changes. Not only has wine consumption declined, a new cohort of consumers has made a lifestyle choice to drink little or no alcohol. Medical sources assert any alcohol consumption can be bad for you. Neo-prohibitionists channel Carry Nation. While Neo-prohibitionists have not yet taken hatchets to saloons or wine barrels, they do clamor for increases in alcohol excise taxes, limit times and places alcohol can be sold, restrict advertising, and lowering the legal blood-alcohol-content. The wine world faces several headwinds. That noted, wine has been around for more than 8,000 years and is deeply imbedded in our culture, our religions, our culinary proclivities. Wine is not going away. In the U.S., the total wine industry—production, distribution, sales, consumption, tourism, and service industries—generates some $324 billion annually in economic impact and is increasing in spite of the headwinds. U.S. wine generates 1.75 million jobs and $102 billion in wages. Wine delivers more than $53 billion in tax revenue. These numbers have been resilient, even rising, amid the slight downturn in wine consumption in the U.S. in the 2020s. We are drinking less, but we are drinking better and more expensive. If you have read this far, I hope your fears of wine's collapse are allayed and you are relieved. Lifestyle choices, by their very nature, constantly change. Sit back and chill out with a nice glass of wine of your current choice, good food, and—especially—sharing with family and friends. That lifestyle moment is immutable.Last roundRelationships are like Indian food.They start out hot and spicy, but end up with someone on the toilet crying and saying “why me? why me”?Wine time.Bonus last roundPolice officer pulls over a speeding car.Officer: “I clocked you at 80 miles per hour, sir.”Driver: “Gee, officer, I had it on cruise control at 60. Perhaps your radar gun needs calibrating.” Not looking up from her knitting, driver's wife says: “Now don't be silly, dear. You know this car does not have cruise control.”As the officer writes out the ticket, the driver looks over at his wife and growls: “Can't you please keep your mouth shut for once?” Wife smiles demurely and says: “Well, dear, you should be thankful your radar detector went off when it did or your speed would have been higher.”As the officer makes out the second ticket for the illegal radar detector, the man glowers at his wife and says through clenched teeth: “Woman, can't you keep your mouth shut?”The officer frowns and says: “And I notice that you are not wearing your seat belt, sir. That's an automatic $75 fine.” Driver: “Well, you see, officer, I had it on, but I took it off when you pulled me over so that I could get my license out of my back pocket.” Wife: “Now, dear, you know very well you never wear your seat belt when you are driving.”As the police officer is writing out the third ticket, the driver turns to his wife and barks: “Will you just shut up!” Officer looks over at the woman and asks: “Does your husband always talk to you this way, ma'am?” Wife: “Only when he has been drinking.”Wine time.Thanks for reading Gus Clemens on Wine!

In this powerful Black History Month special, we examine the life, murder, and lasting legacy of Emmett Till — the 14-year-old whose brutal killing in 1955 became a catalyst for the Civil Rights Movement. From Chicago to Mississippi, and through the historic trial that shocked the nation, we explore how a mother's courage forced America to confront racial injustice.  This episode connects Emmett Till's story to today's fight against racism, hatred, and systemic injustice. His name still matters. His story still warns us. And history still demands we pay attention.

If you think the only great wine coming out of Bordeaux is red, you've got it wrong! When most people think of Bordeaux wine, they think of red wines that are anchored by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. But, did you know that White Bordeaux AKA Bordeaux Blanc may be the white wine you have always loved but didn't know, because it is anchored by Sauvignon Blanc? That's what we are exploring in this episode, and we are going to find out just what makes it so fabulous. Spoiler Alert! Although you may not have heard about White Bordeaux, you need to add it to your wine list because this wine slaps. And we found two great wines that are reasonably priced that we think you should buy! We'll also teach about some of the fun facts surrounding the wine. For instance, did you know that prior to 1956 60% of the wine made in Bordeaux was white? We bet you didn't! Like a lot of French wines, White Bordeaux is a blend, and the magical blend in Bordeaux Blanc is Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, and Muscadelle. So, we'll also tell you why the art of blending is part of the wonder of this wine. Plus we have some wine in the news and a listener interview, so this is an episode you do not want to miss!

I dagens afsnit kaster vi os ud i et eksperiment, som potentielt kan kaste masser af diskussion af sig. Det må det også godt, for det er en svær øvelse. Vi laver en rødvinsskala, hvor vi gennemgår udvalgte druesorter og rangerer dem efter struktur, frugt, syre, tannin, alkohol og tyngde på en skala fra de letteste druesorter til de druesorter, der giver vine med mest tyngde. Vores placering af druerne er lavet ud fra hvad "den styrende vinstil anno 2026" er på druen. Der er desuden en masse forbehold ift. druesorten. Herunder produktionsmetode, høsttidspunkt, vækstområde m.m. Vi tager udgangspunkt i Wine Follys liste, men laver vores egen rangering.

When a convicted double murderer raises over $70,000 on GoFundMe, the story becomes bigger than the crime. In this episode, we examine the case of Wade Wilson, the so-called “Deadpool Killer,” whose viral mugshot sparked obsession, donations, and the rise of the “Wade Wives”—while the two women he murdered were pushed aside. Through this episode, we explore the psychology behind funding a killer, the role of social media in glamorizing violence, and how true crime culture can blur the line between accountability and obsession.

Dan Berger, Chris O’Gorman and Daedalus Howell. Chris O’Gorman and Chris Sawyer are our guests on California Wine Country, to present Pour and Explore at Rodney Strong Vineyards on Feb. 12. Chris O’Gorman is in the studio and Chris Sawyer joins us on the phone. Chris O’Gorman has been on CWC before, his last appearance was this episode last August. It was actually Daedalus Howell’s first CWC episode as full time host of the Drive. Dan has brought one of the wines he will be pouring at the Riesling table next week at the Anderson Valley White Wine Festival on February 14th. The 2021 Smith-Madrone Riesling is a dry wine but not as dry as some of the really bone dry types. Dan likes it with Thai food. The winery is releasing their 2022 Riesling now. This is the same hillside where Stony Hill winery also makes Riesling on an adjacent property. Chris Sawyer is with us on the phone from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. He is there to judge the American Fine Wine Competition. It is one of the largest invitational wine competitions in the US. It is taking place at Florida International University. Pour and Explore at Rodney Strong Vineyards Chris O'Gorman describes Pour and Explore which is taking place next Thursday night, February 12, from 5:30 to 7:30 PM at Rodney Strong Vineyards. Pour and Explore will feature Bordeaux varietals, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot, by themselves or blended. Dan enjoys the company, since there are winemakers pouring the wine, so they can answer his questions. CWC is brought to you by Deodora Estate Vineyards. Visit Deodora to discover 72 acres in the Petaluma Gap that are producing exceptional Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling. Sip the difference!  The first tasting today is a Rodney Strong Bordeaux blend named Symmetry. Rodney Strong has been producing Symmetry since 1996. Single varietal wines are not as common in France as they are here. They realized that Chateau St. Jean provided a model of a successful blended red. This Symmetry wine is a 2021 vintage. The label shows it is 88% Cabernet Sauvignon. With other wines being released at 2 and 3 years old, this wine is different. Cabernet Sauvignon can’t be too young. Chris O’Gorman describes the qualities that each of the five grapes bring to the blend. Next they taste a wine from Alexander’s Crown, one of the most historic red wines in Sonoma County. The first Alexander’s Crown vintage was 1974. This is the first single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma County.

Tonight, we are tasting two Merlots from different price points.The movie Sideways came out in 2004, and is now over 20 years old. When the movie was released, Merlot was the number #1 wine in the US, at about 15% of the total market. Greater than Cabernet Sauvignon at around 12%. By December of 2006, Merlot's market share was down to 12%, and by 2014 it was down further to 9%. California Merlot production also saw a huge reduction, going from 305,000 tons in 2000 to 220,000 tons in 2019.Merlot production in California's (Napa/Sonoma) regions dropped 55-60% between 2000 and 2019, and new plantings of Merlot in California as a whole declined 35% from 2004 and 2023.But is Merlot set to rebound? It is still the top wine choice for Millennials in a 2016 survey. Merlot is still the most planted grape in Bordeaux. East Coast wine production is taking off, and Merlot is the number 1 grape in many of these areas.Tonight, we are tasting:2023 Trader Joe's Platinum Reserve Merlot. I purchased the wine from Trader Joe's for $14.99. It comes from Napa Valley. It has 14.8% alcohol. The Reverse Wine Snob says aromas of dark fruit, lots of cedar, and other notes of barrel aging, such as a little spice. It gives it a recommended buy.2021 Markham Napa Valley Vineyards Merlot. I purchased the wine from Wall to Wall Wine for $29.00. It has 14.5% alcohol. The Wine Enthusiast, which scored it a 90, says, Juicy palate of cherries and plums drizzled through with chocolate and violet candy accented by fresh herbs. As usual, we blind-tasted the wines. Many times we find wines of various price ranges have only minor differences. That was not the case tonight. These wines are very different, especially in flavor. While I found the Trader Joe's wine to have a pleasant aroma, I found the taste simple and lacking substance. It had notes of fruit, spice, and herbs; but was overall a light taste and had a quick finish. Also, for having such light flavors, the tannins were pronounced. Denise scored this wine a 2, and I put it at a 3.The Markum was vastly different. It had a wonderful warm aroma full of berries, vanilla, and spice. The flavor was packed with berries, vanilla, spice, and chocolate. Smooth tannins and had a nice finish. Denise really liked this one but stayed at a 3. I really enjoyed it and gave it a strong 4.Scoring: 1-won't drink; 2-won't buy again; 3-nice drinkable wine; 4-buy again; 5-won't share Next week, we are going to learn about and taste our first Pet-Nat.

Tonight, we are tasting two Sauvignon Blancs.My favorite Sauvignon Blancs are from Sancerre, part of the Loire Valley in France. Bright but with a lot of minerality.Some people prefer the bright acidic Sauvignon Blancs from New Zealand.We purchased two wines, a New Zealand wine from Trader Joe's for $10, and a Napa Valley wine Costco for $28.Tonight, we are tasting:2024 Kono Sauvignon Blanc. I purchased the wine from Trader Joe's for $10. It comes from Marlborough, New Zealand and received a 90 rating from the Wine Enthusiast. It has 13% alcohol. They say passionfruit, lime and grassy. Dry and zippy. The winery says aromas of citrus, grapefruit, passionfruit, and lemongrass. Taste of ripe lemon and lime, green apple, pineapple. Fresh and bright acidity. Pairs with seafood, scallops, mussels, oysters, white fish, salad, and vegetable dishes. Goat cheese. https://www.konowines.co.nz/2023 Beaulieu Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc. This comes from the Rutherford region of Napa Valley. I purchased the wine from Costco for $28. The winery says aromas of meyer lemon, white peach, orange blossom, and bright pineapple, along subtle oak notes of brioche toast and marzipan. Flavors of ripe citrus fruits. Round and luscious, and very well balanced. Crisp and lively. Pairs with charcuterie platter, mixed salads, mixed salads, and lighter fish or chicken dishes.Wine Enthusiast rated this wine a 92. The wine spends 5 months in new French oak to add structure. https://www.bvwines.com/We both enjoyed the Kono. I scored a 4 and Denise a 3. The Beaulieu was not our favorite. I scored it a 3 and Denise a 2. I would definitely recommend the Kono. This wine was bright, but well balanced and packed with flavor. Next week, we are jumping into Merlot.

Crazy story.  Walter Georis wrote the soundtrack to the iconic surf film, The Endless Summer. With desires to make it big in music, the soundtrack would be their swan song in show business. What happens after, is shear career poetry. I have to tell you that sitting down with Walter Georis was the kind of podcast taping that makes me glad I do this show. There's something about a man whose life story connects surf music, fine dining, art, and wine that just puts a smile on your face—especially when he unspools it with such humble, matter-of-fact wisdom. Now, I didn't know much about Walter Georis before a friend tipped me off. I got an email out of the blue—one of those you almost skip past in your inbox. My friend, who I used to surf with in Palos Verdes, had been up late thinking about "The Endless Summer." He does a quick search, and boom—finds out that the guy who wrote the music for that iconic film now owns a winery up in Carmel Valley. He tells me, "Paul, you've got to talk to this guy!" And, boy, am I glad I did. From the start, Walter Georis came off with a grounded, European sensibility—someone raised on the value of seasons, making things from scratch, and, most importantly, letting nature express itself. I loved his opening line: "I don't do anything to the wine to manipulate it…" For him, a vintage is a vintage, and that's the story in the bottle. As someone who's spent a lifetime talking with both big-shot and backyard winemakers, this kind of honesty always jumps out at me. What floored me about Walter Georis was the stories. Here's a Belgian kid, can hardly swim, never surfed, but ends up shaping the sound of California's surf music scene in the sixties! He and his buddies, playing in garages and school gyms, end up composing for "The Endless Summer"—and not by luck, but because they show up, put in the hours, and play for the right parties (and some of the right glassers, too—if you know, you know). And, this is the kicker—he does all this as a French speaker, blending right in with the "stoked, it's a trip" Southern California crowd. But Walter Georis's life isn't about hanging onto some faded record label glory. He's got this restless, creative spirit. After the music, he turns to art, painting eight hours a day in Carmel, living on the cheap. He spends years finding his style, blending the abstract with the figurative—until, naturally, he finds himself in the hospitality business, opening Casanova and La Boheme Song with his family. This is what I love: the European model, building legacy, not just chasing a fast-growing, flash-in-the-pan restaurant business. And Walter Georis gets it right—places that become international, drawing in everyone from actors to race car drivers, all wanting a piece of that Carmel magic. But for me, this episode really shines when we dig into the winemaking. Walter Georis talks about honest wine—the idea that you don't mess with what the vineyard gives you. He gets animated describing the soil, the minerality, the farming, the blending. He talks of Merlot and Cabernet, about planting olive trees, raising sheep (well, until the insurance company got involved)—all these things that anchor you to the land and seasons. He reminds me that great wine isn't about ego or a label; it's about caretaking, patience, storytelling. The conversation wraps with stories of his mother giving birth during the Battle of the Bulge in a wine cellar. There's a sense that all these threads—history, survival, family, creativity—flow right into the glass he pours. A life, a terroir, an honest wine. And that, my friends, is why I do Wine Talks.     #WineTalks #WalterGeoris #PaulKalemkiarian #CarmelValley #EndlessSummer #SurfCulture #Winemaker #CaliforniaWine #MusicHistory #RestaurantLife #HonestWine #ArtAndWine #WinePodcast #BordeauxVarietals #CasanovaRestaurant #WineStories #VineyardLife #Terroir #FarmToTable #AmericanWine

The book that Dan and Don agree is the best one on this subject. Don Chigazola has brought Colle Ciocco wines to taste and review with Dan Berger and Daedalus Howell on California Wine Country. Don’s company Chigazola Merchants imports selected small lots of Italian wines made by small family-owned wineries. He travels to Italy regularly to find wines and to meet everyone involved. Don Chigazola has been on California Wine Country several times, the last time was this episode on June 13, 2025, with wines from the Alto Adige region. They begin by tasting a very dry Trebbiano. It's a white wine popular in Italy but not widely known in this country. This Trebbiano is one of the wines Don has brought today, all from the same producer, which is one of his favorites, the Spacchetti family in Montefalco, Umbria. Their label is Colle Ciocco, which translates to “Choko Hill” in English. Don Chigazola founded Chigazola Merchants to travel in Italy looking for wines to import. They started importing from the Spacchetti family after he got to know them about four years ago. They only make about 5000 bottles per year. The wines that Don chooses for Chigazola Merchants are combinations of a variety and a region that are common in Italy but not well-known here. Don looks for those varieties that will surprise and delight his customers. Dan Berger remarks on a wine that was a 2022 Sancerre which is made with Sauvignon Blanc and it was sweet, not dry as he expected. Sweetness sells, apparently, according to Dan. Trebbiano Spoletino There are different clones of Trebbiano in this wine which make it unique. Trebbiano Spoletino is grown around the village of Spoleto in Umbria. Don describes it as very clean and dry, flavors of apricots, peaches, stone fruit. Dan notices good minerality that makes it go well with food. The only way to get a California Chardonnay to have any acidity at all is to chill it down. We all agree that's a cheap trick and beneath us. Don Chigazola has run Chigazola Merchants for about 13 years now. He has seen the shift in demand from Italian reds to white wines. So he began to favor white wines about six years ago. Now his portfolio of Italian white wines is very strong and unique among American retailers. Some of Chigazola Merchants' wine club members are local wine producers. They are eager to taste a wide range of production. A lot of his members have joined after they got to know the wines from their friends. Grechetto The next wine is a Grechetto, another Italian white grape grown around Orvieto and near the town of Todi. The Spacchetti family has blended a couple of clones of Grechetto with about 15% Viogner, which gives it a soft finish on the palette and “rounds the edges.” The third wine tasted today is a red blend, called Montefalco, which is 70% Sangiovese, 15% Sagrantino and 15% Merlot. Dan notices this difference: in California, we make wines that are big and rich and bold, for reasons “I don't wanna talk about,” ok fine. But he finds them tiresome. Contrast that with what these Italian wines accomplish. “It is not very ripe, only just ripe.” Sagrantino Then they have a Sagrantino from Montefalco. This is a 2019. Sagrantino was first a sacramental wine, and was made to be sweet. But it is now a dry wine because tastes have changed. Don explains that the Spacchetti family ages it for two years in barrels and then a minimum of five years in the bottle. With all that it still feels young. There are over 400 varieties of Italian wine, so Don says that nobody can claim to be an expert, there is too much to know.  But Dan Berger begs to differ and cites Ian D’Agata and his book, Native Wine Grapes of Italy. Dan admires the author as an expert because of his book. Don actually knows Ian and agrees about his level of knowledge. Don describes himself as a student of wine.

In 2004, the murder of a retired Los Angeles schoolteacher was “solved” in record time. A suspect was arrested within hours, charges were filed almost immediately, and a conviction soon followed. But the case's speed concealed a devastating truth—an innocent, special-needs teenager named Jimmy Kitlas was sent to prison for a crime he did not commit. Twenty years later, the case is reopened in Where Murder Lies, as investigators Burl Barer and Frank C. Girardot expose a shocking web of deception, manipulation, and investigative misconduct. What begins as a seemingly simple homicide spirals into a bizarre and dangerous criminal enterprise involving stolen gold, MDMA smuggling, and a stunning alliance between the American Mafia and the Russian Mob—one that may have defrauded the U.S. government out of billions. This episode examines wrongful conviction, tunnel vision policing, and how justice can fail when closing a case matters more than finding the truth.

What happens when family life collides with organized crime?In this episode of Mysteries, Mayhem & Merlot, we explore the true crime story of a man who walked a fine line of morality and immorality; the mob—and paid the ultimate price for his choices. Growing up in the shadow of organized crime meant loyalty, silence, and risk. But when bad decisions stacked up and alliances shifted, the mob delivered its final verdict. This episode unpacks mob culture, family legacy, criminal psychology, and the deadly consequences of thinking you can outsmart the mafia. With dark humor and sharp analysis, we examine how one father's life in the underworld ended in murder—and why the mob always collects its debts.

Days later, her body and that of her date, Stanley Skridla, were found murdered outside Oregon, Illinois. Decades of rumors, corruption claims, and unanswered questions turned this cold case into one of Illinois' most chilling mysteries.

In this episode, we investigate the disappearances and violent encounters that point to something far darker than folklore. From unexplained vanishing points to witnesses claiming they saw non-human shapes watching from the treeline, these cases blur the line between true crime and cryptid terror. Are these missing persons victims of nature… or predators that shouldn't exist? We break down the sightings, the evidence, and the chilling patterns behind the mysterious creatures, monster legends, and unsolved crimes that authorities refuse to explain.

Voices Lost to Time. Stories Reclaimed….. In this powerful episode of Mysteries, Mayhem & Merlot, we sit down with Dr. Alyce Clark, author of The Forgotten Girls: Haunting True Crime Stories of Women and Their Cold Cases. Together, we dive into the chilling, heartbreaking world of unsolved murders, missing women, and the cold cases time tried to erase. Dr. Clark reveals the forgotten stories of women whose dreams, struggles, and lives were cut short—victims overlooked by society, mishandled by the system, and abandoned in the shadows of history. Through meticulous research and emotional storytelling, this interview uncovers the social realities behind these cases, the systemic failures that left them unsolved, and why remembering these women matters now more than ever.

Every Villain Is a Hero in Their Own Story... Netflix's Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers dives deep into the mind of America's most infamous female serial killer — and the trauma that made her. Before Aileen Wuornos picked up a gun, she was a broken child abandoned, abused, and unseen. This documentary forces us to ask: Was she born evil, or was she built by the world that destroyed her? Because every villain is a hero in their own story — and Aileen Wuornos's story is one of pain, survival, and rage turned deadly. Join Winnie as she unravels the darkness behind the headlines and explores how one woman became the face of female fury.

In a quiet Florida neighborhood, a simple dispute between neighbors turned deadly. When Ajike “AJ” Owens — a devoted mother of four — knocked on her neighbor's door to defend her children, she was met with a bullet fired through the door by Susan Lorincz, the woman who called herself “The Perfect Neighbor.” Netflix's gripping new documentary The Perfect Neighbor shines a spotlight on that tragic night — exposing a story of fear, race, and the controversial use of Florida's “Stand Your Ground” law. In this episode, Winnie chats with friend, Rev Tim Christopher, to expose all the layers of the real events behind the documentary — from the escalating tensions that led to AJ's death, to the public outrage and the painful questions about justice and prejudice in modern America. Was this self-defense… or something far more sinister?
