Podcast appearances and mentions of missouri wine

Sip, share, shape our podcast!It's here! Part 2 of our Wine Grapes series! In this episode, we're going beyond European Vitis Vinifera grapes to explore hybrid varieties you may never have tried!  From Vidal Blanc (aptly named after it's founder, Jean Louis Vidal), a highly planted hybrid grape in New York state, to Marechal Foch growing in Minnesota, we've got it covered!  Hybrid grape varieties were created to solve problems. For example in North America, they're solving problems from cold climate hardiness in frost-prone zones, to pest resistance.  However, these amazing hybrid grapes aren't always associated with wine quality. They've suffered for years as winemakers of the past tried to take traditional wine production methods and transpose them to hybrids. The result was less than positive.Hybrids aren't made from grafted vines or rootstock. These are new plants born from parents of different grape species.  Vitus Vinifera varieties such as Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon are cross-pollinated with grapes from American species to birth new grape varieties such as Seyval Blanc, Baco Noir, or the red wine grape, Chambourcin. Wines from red hybrid grapes have been called foxy or funky and have languished on wine shop shelves and fewer wine lists. But these grapevines are having their moment as winemakers such as Jerry Mueller of Röbller Vineyards in Missouri and Martin Polognioli, St. Croix vineyards in Minnesota, are taking a different view and letting these unique grapes tell their own stories.Listen in as we talk red hybrids, hybrid wine and all things hybrid! You'll want to pop a cork and compare these new varieties to some of your favorites. Cheers!Charisse & KristiSupport the Show.Thanks for joining Somm Women Talk Wine!

Sip, share, shape our podcast!If we asked you to name rare wines made from nearly extinct grapes, could you name any? Neither could we until we started looking beyond our local wine shop and city limit! What we discovered are entire species of wine grapes being rediscovered and replanted. They're making a comeback in vineyards from grand cru estates to small, off-the-beaten-path vineyards in the U.S. and abroad!As we kick off a three-part series on wine grapes, or grapes used to make wine, we're going back in time to explore some ancestral varietals innovative winemakers and wine brands are using for sparkling wine to still wine. We're not talking about new Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards in Bordeaux. Nor are we talking about New styles of Sauvignon Blanc in Napa Valley.  We're talking obscure varietals we've never seen on a wine list or in stock at any store!This week's episode takes us to TerraVox Vineyard in Kansas City Unincorporated. In other words, outside the main city with a full view of cornfields, cows, and vineyards!  Here, visionary entrepreneur and museum designer, Jerry Eisterhold, is living out his dream one case at a time. With somewhere between 40 and 60 different wine varietals soaking up the sun in the south-sloping vineyards, Jerry and winemaker, Jean-Louis Horvilleur, are testing not only varieties such as Stark Star, Favorite, Cloeta, Hidalgo, Lomanto, and many other rare grapes, they also are trying different winemaking styles to make these unique grapes shine! Why, you ask? As Jerry says, if he didn't do it, who would? Inspired by the work of American horticulturist, Thomas Volnay Munsun, most famous for introducing American rootstock to European vineyards to battle Phylloxera, some saying he saved the European wine industry, Jerry is on a quest to ensure no more varieties go extinct. Jerry and the team pursued grapes from Texas, Arkansas, U.C. Davis, and beyond. Often they weren't even sure what they received was what they ordered!Tune in to hear Jerry's story and how TerraVox creating a new product from ancient, or ancestral, grapes and putting a new spin on what you'll find in your 750ml bottle! We're certain you'll plop a few bottles in your cart!Crossing the Atlantic, we're not stopping to visit the great Domaine and Chateau of France. We're not even stopping in Piedmont to pick up a few bottles of Barolo or Barbaresco. We're heading to Spain, Catalunya to be exact, to visit Familia Torres and check out their Varietat Recuperada project. That's all we're sharing! You'll have to listen in for the story!Stay tuned for Chapter 2: Hybrids and Chapter 3: Noble Grapes! These are episodes we know you don't want to miss!We're so thankful for your continued support!

The Smithsonian Institute wanted to know about Jerry Eisterhold. So much so, the featured an article on what one might say is a long shot at best. The idea to repropagate vines of yesteryear in America would be fruitless (pun intended). But it is quite the opposite.  In this episode, you will hear the history of wine grapes in America that I would easily put down even money that the most advanced academics in the world of wine would not have a notion of the significance. It was so intriguing, that Wine Talks immediately purchased a sampling of the wines and bought the book recited in the show.  Jerry Eisterhold took it upon himself to scour the United States grape nurseries and study the history of wine grapes in America to a point where he has reintroduced a dozen indigenous grape varieties back into the soil. And then comes the fun part... Making wine from these new varietals with all the moving parts that go into making wine without any of the experience of any predecessor is proving to be a task of geometric proportions. Have a listen and hear the answers to all these headwinds.   PK

Missouri has a rich history of winemaking and in fact has been credited with helping to save the French wine industry. Today, there are nearly 130 wineries, hundreds of grape growers and thousands of jobs in this growing industry, right here in our state. To help make it grow, the Missouri Wine and Grape Board works with wineries and growers to promote Missouri wines. The person in charge of marketing for the board is our guest, Annette Alden. Annette's background in agriculture started at an early age, growing up on her family farm. She discovered marketing in high school and has never looked back, landing her “perfect job” with Missouri Wines in 2016. Listen in for insight into Missouri wines and how they are marketed, including their recent competition and their presence at the Missouri State Fair. We also discuss her role as a woman in agriculture and how important it is to her, and we close with information about a new Missouri Wines program that is just rolling out.

Wine isn't usually the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Missouri, but the Show-Me state has a long, decorated history in the industry. Home to the first ever American Viticultural Area (AVA), designated wine grape-growing region in the United States distinguishable by geographic features, wine has been in our state since the 1840s. Join Alex Gast in this episode of Stand For Ag, prerecorded at the Missouri State Fair, as she joins Jim Anderson, the executive director of the Missouri Wine and Grape Board, to discuss the history and beauty of the Missouri wine industry. Jim Anderson has been the executive director of the Missouri Wine and Grape Board for nearly 25 years.

On this week’s podcast, we take you to an unusual wine region of America and give you the behind-the-scenes peek at a new opening of a wine bar there. Admittedly, Missouri may not be first in people’s minds when thinking about America’s wine producing regions. However, Becky & Michael Lee have a host of reasons on why they believe their soon-to-open in New Haven, Missouri will be a big success. Undertaking a wine bar can be challenging under the best of circumstances, but Becky and Michael have a strong family heritage dating back to the American revolution, Missouri’s legacy as a wine producing region (yes, it’s true) and a whole bunch of good karma to help them. To us, it was their trusting, positive approach to the entire project that makes us believe that they are building a new-generation story in this small town that will be successful both for them – and their community – for years to come. Listen to their story and we think you’ll understand why.

More boating mayhem from the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri. Last week, Bob spoke to special guest, country music star Darryl Worley about the Tennessee River Run. This week it’s Mini Shoot Out Day at Ha Ha Tonka State Park (that’s radio controlled boats, to you and me). It’s also Missouri Wine and Brew Fest so Bob will be trying out a few alcoholic drinks. Plus, he chats to Jason Johnson from Speed On The Water and gets the skinny on a new service – a drive-in boat wash. This is THE recreational boating radio show.
