Tom Gendall, winemaker at Cline Family Cellars is our guest on California Wine Country with Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger. Cline Family Cellars has been featured on this show before, most recently when Fred Cline and his daughter Hillary Cline were on this episode on January 4, 2023. Tom Gendall from Cline Family Cellars is our guest on California Wine Country with Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger. The Cline family has been on this show before, most recently when Fred Cline and his daughter Hillary Cline were on this episode on January 4, 2023. Tom was born and raised in Christchurch, New Zealand and has wine experience in both hemispheres. He also made wine in Germany. Some of the Cline family vineyards were planted as early as 1904. They survived Prohibition and Phylloxera. They started making wine under this label in 1984. Hold on to your hat! The first wine they will taste is the 2023 Chardonnay from Carneros, where you had better strap your hat on because the wind will carry it off. Tom describes the process that produced it, but he gives credit to the great fruit from that year. From year to year, they finished picking month later than before. In 2024 they finished picking on the 16th of October and in 2023 they finished on the 12th of November. It was a cooler year so the grapes could stay on the vine almost a month longer than the year before. Dan remembers the vintage of 2010 and 2011, which were both cool vintages. 2023 was like that but even better. It is great now but in 10 years will be even better. Tom Gendall is one of the two winemakers at Cline Family Cellars. The other is Katie Hoggins. She is also from New Zealand and has also worked around the world making wine. He compares their collaboration to building, as if he were the architect and she is the engineer. Dan describes the Cline Family Cellars history as having been through everything imaginable in more than a century of growing grapes. They survived Phylloxera because their vines grow in sand which does not bear phylloxera. The secret to their balance is the lees contact that they give to the wine, which imparts flavor. Tom describes how the root systems feed flavor into the vines and the grapes. Later in the show Melissa Galliani joins the group and Tom opens a Mourvèdre which is ra

What makes the Languedoc particularly well-suited for organic viticulture? How have the wines of the Languedoc evolved since the 70s? How do the wines of the Languedoc region of southern France differ from neighbouring Roussillon? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Rosemary George You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks   Giveaway Two of you are going to win a copy of her terrific book, Wines of the Languedoc. To qualify, all you have to do is email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and let me know that you've posted a review of the podcast. I'll choose two people randomly from those who contact me. Good luck!   Highlights What was it like becoming one of the first women to earn the Master of Wine designation? How did Rosemary's journey into wine writing begin? What inspired Rosemary's initial fascination with the Languedoc region? What do you need to know about the Languedoc region in terms of geography and how it fits into the bigger picture of French wine? Why is the Languedoc particularly well suited to organic viticulture? How does Rosemary's book, Wines of the Languedoc, compare to other books about the region? What are the classic grape varieties and wines of the Languedoc? How does the Garrigue influence Languedoc wines? How does the Languedoc's maritime climate compare to other wine regions in France? What are the key distinctions between the Languedoc and Roussillon regions? Who are some of the more interesting winemakers that Rosemary has met in the Languedoc? How are Languedoc winemakers responding to new challenges due to climate change?   Key Takeaways As Rosemary notes, the Languedoc has a lot of advantages for organic viticulture, especially the winds. So if it rains, the winds dry everything up pretty quickly. Rot is not usually a problem in the Languedoc. She adds that vintages are becoming more irregular than they were, but certainly it's a lot easier to be organic in the Languedoc than it is in say Chablis. In the Languedoc, for red wine, Rosemary says, you have Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Carignan and Cinsault. Syrah and Mourvèdre were grape varieties that were planted in the 70s, 80s. It's what they called the cépages améliorateurs, the improving grape varieties. It was thought the Carignan needed to have something else added to it. Now, I think there's a trend. People realize how good Carignan is, especially with climate change coming into effect. It will make some really good wine. There's a bit of spice, bit of red fruit, there's a bit of freshness, there's some acidity and as well as tannin. The Languedoc region of southern France and neighbouring Roussillon are completely different, Rosemary observes, because Roussillon was part of Spain until the Treaty of the Pyrenees. They see themselves as Northern Catalonia. The Pyrenees for Roussillon is a unifying thing, and it does not divide them from Spain, it unites them. Whereas Languedoc speaks Occitan, and it has a different history. And the wine makes them different because the key grape variety of Roussillon is Grenache, and that was also used for Vin Doux Naturel, fortified wines that like Banyuls and Maury and Rivesaltes. They're matured in barrel and last for for years. One of the great wines in the world and totally underappreciated. The Languedoc doesn't have that tradition to the same extent.   About Rosemary George MW Rosemary George has been in the wine industry for 52 years. She passed the prestigious Master of Wine exam in 1979, making her one of the first female MWs in the world. In 1981, she started writing about wine as a freelancer and has subsequently authored fourteen books, including those on New Zealand, Tuscany, Chablis, Faugeres, the Languedoc and Roussillon.         To learn more, visit https://www.nataliemaclean.com/324.

Bandol is arguably the most important appellation in Provence at the southeastern tip of France. Although it makes white, this very small region is known for its ageworthy reds and rosés made mainly of Mourvèdre, Grenache, and Cinsault.   In this show I review the long history of Bandol from the Greeks to the real estate agents of today, and talk about the various terroirs in this appellation. I talk about the grapes, why Mourvedre makes such a big difference in allowing the reds and rosés to age, and some ideas of flavors, producers, and how long to age these wines. From the Rosés of Southern France by Liz Gabay, MW and Ben Bernheim   Since these are rosés that can age and ones that have more robust flavors, I wanted to do this show in the winter. I think it's good for us to think about different ways to look at pink wine, especially high-quality pink wine! And considering Bandol a multi-season wine is a great step in that direction!     ________________________________________________________________ Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon. Become a member today! www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople _______________________________________________________________   Check out my exclusive sponsor, Wine Access.  They have an amazing selection -- once you get hooked on their wines, they will be your go-to!

This episode features a follow-up conversation with Kieran Robinson of R Five Wines, a winemaker who now splits his time between his tasting room in the suburbs of Philadelphia and the vineyards of Sonoma County. We first spoke with Kieran and his wife, Kristie, back in November of 2020 for episode 8 of season 3 as they were dreaming up their new tasting room in Downingtown, PA. Kieran's story started in the Finger Lakes while attending Ithaca College, and upon returning to his hometown of Downingtown, Kieran had the opportunity to experience the challenges of making wine in a non-traditional wine region - the Philadelphia countryside. Kieran later moved to the Northern Rhone region of France to work for winemaker PIerre Gaillard, which gave Kieran an appreciation for French viticulture and winemaking philosophies. Kieran later moved to Napa Valley to expand his winemaking knowledge at Cakebread Cellars and then at Paul Hobbs Winery and Crossbarn Cellars as an enologist. In 2009, Kieran started his own label - Kieran Robinson Wines - with a focus on Syrah and Viognier. While he was the winemaker at Jericho Canyon Vineyard, Kieran also worked alongside famed winemakers Aaron Pott and Michel Rolland. Interested in a new challenge and a bi-coastal life, Kieran and his wife started R Five Wines in 2018. R Five Wines allowed Kieran to expand his winemaking portfolio to other Rhone varietals, such as Grenache, Roussanne, Marsanne, Grenache Gris, and Mourvèdre, Kieran still makes all his wine in Sonoma but the R Five Wines tasting room is in his hometown near Philadelphia, PA. We talk about how this bicoastal business model is allowing Kieran to bring his love of CA wines to PA.

When most people talk about Rosé wine, they are most likely referring to Provence Rosé. Most people also probably think that Provence Rosé is what all Rosé wine tastes like, but that is not true. In this latest getting serious about Rosé episode, we spend some time talking about why that is. Now, it is true that Rosé from Provence is the most popular, and good ones are crisp and refreshing with good acidity which makes them favorites for summer sippers and pairing with lighter fare. But we bet there is a lot about Provence Rosé that you don't know about. Which is why we are getting serious about Rosé. Made generally from a blend of Cinsault, Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah - and sometimes many other grapes - this French Rosé has a distinctive taste profile and color that are hard to miss. Whether you are a Rosé lover or a Rosé doubter, there is always something to learn and appreciate about any wine - so join us to learn more!

¡RECIBE TU CURSO DE CATA GRATIS! ENTRA AQUÍ: www.vinoparacamaleones.com En 1954, el alcalde de Châteauneuf-du-Pape Lucien Jeune, promulgó un decreto que prohibía el aterrizaje de ovnis en el área. Este acto fue tanto una respuesta humorística a la fascinación pública por los ovnis de esa época como una astuta maniobra de marketing para atraer la atención hacia el pueblo y sus famosos vinos. Aunque el decreto era en tono de broma, ayudó a cimentar la identidad única del pueblo y su cultura vitivinícola en la conciencia pública. Châteauneuf-du-Pape, situado en el sur de Francia, disfruta de un clima mediterráneo con veranos calurosos y secos, lo cual es ideal para la maduración de las uvas. El terreno está cubierto de grandes piedras redondeadas conocidas como "galets" que retienen calor, liberándolo durante la noche, lo que ayuda a mantener una temperatura constante. El suelo varía desde arenoso hasta arcilloso y calcáreo, lo que permite una diversidad de estilos de vino. La región es conocida por su enfoque en mezclas de vino, especialmente de variedades como Grenache, Syrah, y Mourvèdre, entre otras. Esta diversidad de uvas y la mezcla de diferentes tipos de suelo en la región contribuyen a la complejidad y riqueza de los vinos, que son conocidos por su estructura robusta, sabores intensos y capacidad de envejecimiento.

Auf zum zweiten Teil der Côte du Rhône. Das Weinbaugebiet der südlichen Rhône erstreckt sich entlang des Rhône-Tals in Südfrankreich und ist bekannt für seine vielfältigen Weine und malerischen Landschaften. Geographisch gesehen erstreckt sich das Gebiet von Vienne im Norden bis zur Mündung des Flusses in die Camargue im Süden. Das Klima in diesem Gebiet ist mediterran geprägt, mit heißen trockenen Sommern und milden Wintern, was ideale Bedingungen für den Weinbau schafft.Die Weinproduktion in der südlichen Rhône konzentriert sich auf rote und roséfarbene Weine, wobei die Hauptrebsorte Grenache ist. Weitere wichtige Rebsorten sind Syrah, Mourvèdre und Cinsault. Die Weine werden oft in Cuvées gemischt, um komplexe Aromen und Geschmacksprofile zu erzeugen. Bekannte Appellationen in diesem Gebiet sind Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas und Vacqueyras. Die Landschaft der südlichen Rhône ist geprägt von sanften Hügeln, Weinbergen und malerischen Dörfern, die einen charmanten und idyllischen Anblick bieten. Wir schließen die 90. Folge, mit einem gewissen Gefühl von Wehmut und gleichzeitig großer Dankbarkeit wende ich mich heute an euch, um euch für eure unglaubliche Treue und Unterstützung in den letzten drei Jahren zu danken. Es war eine unvergessliche Reise, die wir gemeinsam auf unserem Podcast-Projekt erlebt haben. Eure kontinuierliche Unterstützung, eure Kommentare, euer Feedback und vor allem eure Zeit, die ihr uns gewidmet habt, haben diesen Podcast zu dem gemacht, was er heute ist. Jede Woche haben wir uns bemüht, euch interessante, inspirierende und unterhaltsame Inhalte zu bieten, und es war eine Ehre zu sehen, wie ihr diese Inhalte aufgenommen und mit uns geteilt habt.

Ihr seid das Herz und die Seele dieses Projekts, und ohne euch wäre es nicht das, was es ist. Obwohl dieses Kapitel nun pausiert, bleibt die Erinnerung an die gemeinsamen Momente und Gespräche bestehen.

Eure Unterstützung bedeutet uns mehr, als wir in Worte fassen können. Eure Lars & Silvio

To download the transcript CLICK HERE   On todays' episode, we sit down with Stage 2 Master of Wine student, Anna Spooner, who has recently made the move to the Southern Rhône. In this episode, our focus shifts to the grape varieties that thrive in this region, with Châteauneuf-du-Pape boasting a remarkable 13 permitted varieties. While Grenache is a familiar name, ever heard of Counoise or Terret Noir?   But before we chat about the details of these lesser-known grapes, the first half of the episode is dedicated to exploring Anna's wine journey. From her experiences at Freixenet, one of the largest Cava producers, to her eye opening experiences with Tablas Creek, in Paso Robles (Pioneers of the California Rhone movement) and the captivating story of Basilisco in the Campania region, we delve into the influences that have shaped Anna's path.   We not only unveil the secrets of Southern Rhône's grape varieties but also paint a vivid picture of Anna's rich and diverse experiences in the world of wine. From the renowned to the hidden gems, this promises a delightful exploration of both wine and the fascinating individuals who bring it to life.   This episode is sponsored by Wickham Wines, A small business themselves focusing on top quality wines.

(NSFW) In this episode, Ed regales Nate and Chris with tales from his visit to the iconic Rowley Farmhouse Ales in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The studio comes alive with the popping of corks as the trio embarks on a beer-tasting adventure. The first sip is the uniquely crafted "Teosinte," a farmhouse ale where Oaxacan green dent corn, and Teosinte a Mexican grass take center stage creating a delightful symphony of corn sweetness and funk. As they savor the ale, and try to use words to descibe the grassy notes they are tasting. But somehow fall short. Despite John's absence in Tucson, he ensures Ed has a splendid time at Rowley, known not only for its exceptional brews but also for its outstanding food. The culinary highlights, including pineapple upside-down cake, gyro tacos, and red chili fries, become part of the storytelling, creating a sensory-rich experience. The tasting journey continues with "Supernatant," a robust creation featuring Norwegian Farmhouse yeast and Grüner Veltliner lees from Vivac Winery. The beer, bottled with Alfalfa honey, unfolds as a crisp and funky sour ale—a perfect companion for shared moments with friends. The third and final tasting, "If You Must - Tablas Creek," offers a glimpse into the world of lactobacillus Berlin-style weissbier, aged in Tablas Creek Esprit de Tablas Blanc barriques on fresh Mourvèdre must. The result is a nuanced beer with notes of grape skin tannins, oak-derived vanillin, and a refreshing tartness. This one makes Nate reach for the Tums!

Road Trip time!! We took What to Drink on the road to the Napa Valley to interview industry legends Barbara & Bruce Neyers, owners & founders of Neyers Vineyards! The married duo recounts the story of their journey into the world of wine, starting in the early 1970's in the Napa Valley. All of their wines are delicious and leave you wondering, "Am I drinking Old World (European) wines right now, or could these indeed be Californian?!" The Sage Canyon Red blend is a delicious Rhône-style blend (Carignan, Mourvèdre, & Grenache) & will pair with most dishes, but we eventually singled out roast chicken because the two mentioned the perfect marriage of these two several times. What makes Neyers Sage Canyon Red special: Winemaker Daniel Brunier of Chateauneuf du Pape winery Vieux Télégraphe remarked that the Central Valley of California was not much different in temperature than the Rhone; why couldn't the Neyers' grow their favorite Rhône grapes in California? Bruce and Barbara started purchasing Carignan, Mourvèdre, & other Rhône-style grapes from Central Valley winemakers with specific instructions: 1. the grower must reduce their grape yields to prioritize quality over quantity, and 2. they had to employ Old World winemaking techniques like pigeage (stomping grapes by foot) & stem-inclusion. Bruce's wines are a perfect example that California & the 'New World' can achieve 'Old World' elegance, savoriness, and body! BONUS RECIPE: Barbara's Couscous Salad with Chicken Breast Recipe (Serves 4) INGREDIENTS: 2 cups dried couscous 2 cups cherry tomatoes, cut in half – Sweet 100 and Sungold tomatoes 1-2 Cucumbers, Persian or Armenian — peeled and sliced ¼ to 1/8-inch thick 2 chicken breasts, boned and skinless 1 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese Fresh basil torn into pieces for garnish Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper VINAIGRETTE INGREDIENTS: 1 Tablespoon minced shallot 2 Teaspoons fresh squeezed lemon juice ½ Teaspoon paprika ½ Teaspoon coriander ½ Teaspoon turmeric ½ cup extra virgin olive oil PREPARATION: Cook the chicken breasts on a grill using mesquite charcoal. Cook the couscous as directed on the package. Refrigerate the couscous if not using immediately. Combine the vinaigrette ingredients and set aside. Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise and then into ½-inch pieces. In a bowl combine the couscous, chicken breasts, chickpeas and vinaigrette. Season with Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste. Serve the couscous with cherry tomatoes and cucumbers on top and garnish with basil and feta cheese. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/what2drink/message

Which English writer would Andy love to share a bottle of breakfast Champagne with?   Key Takeaways Andy's explanation of why Bandol is the only wine region to lead with Mourvèdre was fascinating. As he said, there's a salinity and freshness in the wines, good Mourvedre has to see the sea. I enjoyed his description of the northern Italian grape and wine Barbaresco and the changes it's experiencing. He painted a terrific picture of what it's like to spend a day picking grapes in a Sauvignon Blanc vineyard.   Join me on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube Live Join the live-stream video of this conversation on Wed at 7 pm ET on Instagram Live Video, Facebook Live Video or YouTube Live Video.

How does Mourvèdre taste different from other southern French grapes that also produce full-bodied red wines? Did you know that Mourvèdre can age for up to 40 years but has stages where it shuts down completely? What would a 20-year-old Rosé taste like?

Why might you enjoy visiting the southern French town of Bandol for your next wine holiday? What inspired Andy to write about Bandol wines? What's the format of Andy's latest book, Bandol Wine and the Magic of Mourvèdre, and how does it differ from previous books about Bandol wines? What's it like to taste a 20-year-old Rosé? Do Rosés have good aging capacity? How much of the Bandol wine industry is attributed to Rosé production? What surprising results came out of a blind tasting of €3 and €23 Bandol wines? Which characteristics can you expect from the Mourvèdre grape in its youth? What changes will you notice as Mourvèdre ages? Why should you take the cork out of your Mourvèdre a day or two before drinking?   Key Takeaways Andy gave a great description of how Mourvèdre tastes different from other full-bodied southern French red wines. I understand why it also often needs a blending partner. I found it interesting that Mourvèdre can age for up to 40 years but has stages where it shuts down completely. I'm also going to try his suggestion of removing the cork for a day or two next time I open a bottle to see if it makes a difference. I would have never thought a 20-year-old Rosé would even be drinkable let alone have some interesting taste components and contrasts.   Join me on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube Live Join the live-stream video of this conversation on Wed at 7 pm ET on Instagram Live Video, Facebook Live Video or YouTube Live Video.

Our goal in life is to find high QPR wines to share with you all, and in Monastrell, we think we have found a QPR Superstar! Two of the wines we tasted were $10.99, and they way, way, way outpunch their price. Stop wasting your money on overpriced California Cabs, and discover this wine which gives you much more bang for your buck! Also known as Mourvèdre, Mataro, and a million other names, Monastrell is the Spanish name for this wine, and if you love big red wines, you are in for a treat. Monatrell is the “M” in GSM blends, but it can more than stand up on its own. To say that we were pleasantly surprised is an understatement.  In this episode, we learn about some of the background of this wine, where it is from, and what makes it so special. We also talk about the potential for creating a Wine Camp, where one of our cheers with be “Monastrell, Monastrell!” so let us know if you are in or out and we'll send you the permission slips!

A female-driven estate in the Southern Rhone region brings us this intense and nuanced Gigondas! Domaine Gour de Chaule 2018 Tradition is 80% Grenache and remaining Syrah and Mourvèdre from the great granddaughter of the founder's estate. It's muscular, bright and meaty with red berries & wild herbs galore. Expect a full tasting breakdown from this wine featured in the summer edition of The Grateful Reds club. Kat discusses the ways she set up this wine business to produce more joy than stress, and the learning lessons from failures along the way. What we end on is a poem from the mindful warrior on Digging Deep and How to Love.

We never thought we'd say it, but because of this episode, we are now GSM fans! GSM blends are one of the two classic red wine blends known all over the world - so they are definitely something you need to have in your repertoire. But we will admit it - red wine blends can be so tricky because very often the winemaker doesn't tell you exactly what grapes are in the blend. And if you don't know the grapes, how can you know the wine?!? Seriously! Made from Grenache, Syrah or Shiraz if you are in Australia, and Mourvèdre (get it - GSM?!?), these wines are produced all over the world, but are most famously from the Côtes du Rhône in France. Juicy and complex, these wines are great with food, and can be appropriate at a fancy dinner and at a summer cookout! If you think you are not a red blend fan, it may be that you just haven't found the red blend that is right for you! Come along with us, and together we can solve the mystery of GSM! Wines reviewed in this episode: 2017 Domaine Saint Gayan Trescartes Côtes du Rhône, 2017 d'Arenberg The Stump Jump GSM, and 2017 Les Alexandrins Terrasses de l'Eridan Côtes du Rhône.Contact The Wine Pair Podcast - we'd love to hear from you!Visit our website, leave a review, and reach out to us: www.thewinepairpodcast.comFollow and DM us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewinepairpodcast/Send us an email: joe@thewinepairpodcast.com

Greetings friends. Join us as we discuss the story of a local axe murder, Candy Montgomery. Texas Wine and True Crime hit the road and presented this story at the Dallas Public Library for their True Crime Mini Convention. This is an interesting tale and very much gaining attention as of late with two new series released this year. We also sipped on a delicious Mourvèdre Rose from Rustic Spur this week which was delicious and refreshing and a great match for this Texas heat.Support the show

This episode was recorded live at Perrine's Le Pop Up in Atlanta, GA and features winemaker Alice Anderson of âmevive wine. Âmevive is a small winery and vineyard based in Santa Barbara County. Alice and her partner farm a historic 10-acre vineyard in Los Olivos District AVA home to Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Marsanne planted in 1971. After graduating Cal Poly with a BS in Wine and Viticulture and a few California harvests under her belt, she headed to Central Otago, New Zealand for 7 months working at Amisfield in the cellar and at Rippon Vineyard in the biodynamic vineyards with the Mills family. In August of 2015, she headed to the Northern Rhone to work as an intern at Chez Pierre Gaillard. She says those two years in France were the foundation for âmevive, so she moved back to the states in 2017, she really began to conceptualize her dream of starting her own project of Northern Rhone wines made with a Californian playfulness. Âmevive's first vintage was in 2019, and Alice and her partner now lease the historic Ibarra-Young Vineyard in Los Olivos District AVA, one of the first vineyards planted in the Santa Ynez Valley. This vineyard is the heart of Âmevive, so we talk about how - and why - she chooses to use biodynamic and regenerative organic farming practices that allow her to focus on the ecosystem of their vineyard as a whole. Relatively new to the Georgia market, her wines are already captivating an audience intrigued by a portfolio that is made with so much intention and attention to detail. You'll hear her passion for the natural land and for making energetic wines that represent a sense of place. You can follow @amvive.wine and visit www.amevivewine.com to learn more to join her wine club.

Lamm-Kottletts, Steaks, Bratwurst oder Paprika – endlich wird wieder angegrillt! Pünktlich zur schönsten Zeit des Jahres widmet sich Lou der Frage: Welcher Wein passt zu deinem Grillgut? Fleisch ist natürlich nicht gleich Fleisch, aber auch die Saucen und Beilagen spielen eine wichtige Rolle bei der Suche nach dem perfekten Begleitwein. Warum? Das erfährst du in dieser Folge. Fleisch ist nicht dein Gemüse? Kein Problem, Lou hat natürlich auch für Vegetarier*innen und Veganer*innen passende Tipps.  Wein der Woche: Steakwein Pays D'Oc IGP rot https://bit.ly/3lxU4BZ Der Steakwein Pays d'Oc IGP rot gilt als idealer Begleiter zu einem leckeren Steak und stammt aus dem Weinanbaugebiet Languedoc, dem größten zusammenhängenden Weinanbaugebiet Frankreichs, das mit Rebsorten wie Carignan, Grenache, Mourvèdre und vor allem Syrah punktet.  Frage der Woche: Welche Rebsorte duftet nach Rosen? „Bei einem Rosenaroma müsste es sich eigentlich um einen Gewürztraminer handeln. Weitere Rebsorten, die den markanten Duft nach Rosen, aber auch nach Muskatnuss und Litschi aufweisen können, sind z.B. Scheurebe, Muskateller, Gold- und Rosenmuskateller. Dabei handelt es sich um sogenannte Bukett- oder auch Aromarebsorten.“ - Lou Genau das Richtige für Deine Weinprobe und zum Üben von Verkostungen: Das Cheers!

Guests:Kevin Meeker, Bill Elmer, Mike Dalewitz, Jesse Bongiovi Synopsis:This week we're focused on all the greatest hits--meaning some amazing restaurateurs who have adapted their venues (and menus) to come up with delightful dining options that everyone can enjoy!  And we love to wet your appetite, so we're plating up those heavenly dishes with a rosé that everyone's raving over!We first spoke with Keg & Kitchen's Chef Bill Elmer and Owner, Kevin Meeker.  Although the two have known one another for years, this is the first time Elmer has worked for Meeker. These two friends have years of experience and familiarity with one another, which lends itself to scrumptious results that patrons of Keg & Kitchen can enjoy.  Chef Elmer, who is familiar with Owner Meeker's famed Philadelphia Fish Company, designed specials based on the former PFC's menu. Those specials are currently available throughout Lent, Easter, and some will be integrated into their Spring & Summer seasonal menu too.  Look for those specials, along with daily Happy Hour options (including General Manager Matthew Marks inventive cocktails and mocktails), and other exciting events happening at Keg & Kitchen!Afterwards, we had an in-depth discussion with Attorney turned Restaurateur, Mike Dalewitz.  Dalewitz, who is the Founder of 618 Hospitality Group and Co-Owner of The Borscht Belt, joined us on Food, Farms, & Chefs to chew over how his career path ventured into the hospitality business.  The highly driven, and self-motivated entrepreneur had a knack to fish out a niche; one of which led him to meet Co-Owner and Chef, Nick Liberato.  And a love of all things delicatessen bloomed, opening The Borscht Belt in Stockton, NJ.  Due to certain circumstances the former location of the Borscht Belt needed to be closed, but the pair are excited to announce the launch of The Borscht Belt in Newtown, PA this coming April, and The Borscht Belt Museum will be launching this month in Ellenville, NY along with hosting the first Borscht Belt Fest this summer!Lastly, we hear from Jesse Bongiovi--yes, that name should sound familiar--who invited all of us to spring into rosé season with his latest vintage of Hampton Water.  Creative minds must think alike, seeing as Co-Owners Jesse, his father Jon Bon Jovi, and long-time friend Ali Thomas joined forces to create a Rosé with Vintner Gerard Bertrand.  Their 'pink juice' was inspired after years of traveling with Jesse's father and indulging in Rosé, oftentimes during visits to the Hampton's.  And this is not some insipid label being brandished by someone famous; the Rosé has been awarded 90-Points for every vintage produced since its inception.  Hampton Water Rosé is a blend of 60% Grenache; 15% Cinsault; 15% Mourvèdre and 10% Syrah which is then fermented inside French Oak barrels--it tastes wonderful on your palate, or feel free to create cocktail using Hampton Water Rosé as your base.

Der er faktisk debut til Châteauneuf-du-Pape forstået på den måde, at det er første gang, vi skal have den helt store gennemgang af området. Vi smager tre vine fra 2020, som kommer fra tre forskellige parceller i Châteauneuf-du-Pape og som alle tre er domineret af grenache. Hvordan ser der ud i Châteauneuf-du-Pape, hvordan er jordbundsforholdende, klimaet, hvilke druer dyrker man og hvilke sorter er tilladt? Hvad er det gamle ideal i området og hvad er forskellen på smagen i de forskellige parceller? Hvordan har vinen været i området før i tiden og hvornår og hvilken udvikling har vinene gennemgået?

With Christmas around the corner we put together a list of some of our favorite wines for the holidays. The Federal Reserve's aggressive interest rate hikes hasn't slowed the uptick in wine prices. It can be fairly easy to blow up your wine budget with just one or two bottles of splurge purchases. Most of the wines on our list can all be had for under $35. Searching for one wine that pleases everybody is a fools errand. It's invariably better to select a variety of wines, open them all at once and let your guest choose what they would like to drink. There are plenty of wines here to please even your most finnicky guests. Thanks for listening to our podcast and Happy Holidays.2019 Château Vitallis Pouilly-Fuissé Vielles Vignes - Father and son team Denis and Maxime Dutron use Chardonnay from their oldest parcels, some as old as 85 years of age to craft this beautiful White Burgundy. 100% Chardonnay, natural fermentation, left on the lees for a year, 70% stainless steel the rest in barrel. Taut and mineral, with green apple and grapefruit. A distinctive Macon that may bring the ABC (anything but Chardonnay) crowd back into the fold. $272019 Ramey Russian River Valley Chardonnay - In contrast to the former old world Chardonnay the Ramey's make a 100% Chardonnay using a plethora of the old world techniques. Whole cluster pressing, native yeast barrel fermentation, lees aging, malolactic fermentation and light fining sans filtering. Baked apple and pear notes complement the layers of savory oak and baking spice. Beautifully textured and balanced. $38 2021 Joel Gott Sauvignon Blanc - A perennial crowd pleaser the grapes for this Sauvignon Blanc are sourced from all over California. Its style remains remarkably consistent from year to year. Ripe melon and white peach aromas jump out of the glass. Lemon and lime flavors work well with the clean mineral finish. $122020 Michel Delhommeau “Harmonie” Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Sur Lie - Michel and Nathalie Delhommeau farm the Melon de Bourgogne grapes for their Muscadet in the volcanic rich soils of the Loire Valley in northwest France. After fermentation the wine spends 5 months “Sur Lie” (in the tank on the lees). Lemon, apple, fresh and vibrant with a bracing minerality and tingling acidity on the finish. This Muscadet calls out for fresh oysters on the half shell and other light seafood dishes. $17 2021 Quivira Rosé Wine Creek Ranch - Cranberries, rhubarb and strawberries aromas compliment the zippy acidity of this 70% Grenache, 11%Counoise, 9% Mourvèdre, 5% Petite Sirah blend. Made with organically grown grapes. $202020 Concerto Reggiano Lambrusco - Most of us have never served a dry red sparkling wine. Here's your chance to wow your guests. Concerto, made from 100% Lambrusco Salamino comes in an attractive bottle that is shaped like a bowling pin. The grapes are organically farmed. When poured into a glass you get a beautiful purple froth. Dark ruby red in color the wine taste of raspberry and strawberries with hints of licorice. It's completely dry on the palate with a fresh zippy clean finish. Serve it slightly chilled not cold. $30Frederic Magnien Crémant De Bourgongne Blanc De Noir - If you love Champagne but you need to watch your coins a bit more closely try exploring sparkling wines from other regions of France. French sparkling wines that use the traditional method and are made outside of the Champagne region are called Crémant. This 100% Pinot Noir from the Burgundy area can be served as an aperitif and also has the body and weight to be served throughout a meal. A light amber color, very fine bubbles, aromas of bing cherries and strawberry. Champagne quality without the sticker shock. $202019 Siduri Russian River Valley Pinot Noir - The consistency of the Siduri brand which was acquired by Jackson Family Wines several years ago continues unabated. Adam Lee may no longer be the winemaker but the assertive and beautiful Pinot Noir style he pioneered continues. Black cherry and spicy raspberry flavors on the palate, medium in length with good acidity. A very attractive entry level Pinot Noir. $302020 Bedrock Wine Co. Old Vine Zinfandel - Morgan Twain-Peterson crafts this deep ruby colored wine from old vineyards (some 100+ years old) throughout Sonoma County. Made with native yeast fermentation and aged in French and Austrian oak puncheons and foudres. In the glass black and red fruit, lavender and pepper aromas. On the palate black plums, a round texture with good acidity and length. Drink and enjoy this youthful Zinfandel now and do yourself a favor and save a few bottles for the next few years. $222019 Hess Collection Allomi Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon - This 79% Cabernet Sauvignon 9% Petite Sirah 5%Malbec 4% Merlot 3% Petit Verdot blend comes from the Allomi vineyard in Pope Valley of northeast Napa Valley. Black and blue fruit, tobacco and oak lead the way for this seemlessly integrated full bodied red. A cushy textured mouthfeel with a long finish. $302019 Obsidian Ridge Lake County Cabernet Sauvignon - 94% Cabernet Sauvignon 2% Petit Verdot 2%Malbec 1% Petite Sirah 1% Syrah. Grown in the volcanic rich soils of the Red Hills of Lake County the wine is aged for 18 months in Hungarian oak barrels. Black fruit, black cherry and vanilla, full bodied and tannic. $35 Show LInks:Best WinesColumbia Winery Tasking RoomLets talk with Maureen DowneyAMOS Electric Autonomous Tractor Tour Visits LodiMendoza declares emergency after late season frostFreak frost hits Argentinian vineyards as Mendoza declares emergencyE & J.

DIMANCHE 16 OCTOBRE 2022 Jean-Marc Larhantec - Hedonist Spirits  Créatif dans l'âme, Jean-Marc s'est construit une brillante carrière dans le secteur du design, de la publicité et depuis 2011 dans les spiritueux. Passionné par cet univers depuis ses 18 ans, il a depuis toujours réalisé et assemblé des spiritueux pour les partager à ses amis. C'est lorsqu'il trouve la recette idéale, alliant la noblesse du Cognac, la fraîcheur du gingembre et la douceur de la vanille que l'aventure Hedonist Spirits peut commencer ! C'est à Chevanceaux, au sein de l'appellation Cognac, que Jean-Marc travaille et fait vieillir ses spiritueux. En plus de son Cognac, Jean-Marc élabore également des Rhums. Déjà maturé, il les fait vieillir une seconde fois dans des anciens fûts de Cognac pour leur apporter davantage de rondeur en bouche. Hedonist Spirits propose aujourd'hui une large gamme de Rhums alliant gourmandise et authenticité. En plus de ses spiritueux, Jean-Marc vous accueille toute l'année dans son chai pour découvrir les différentes étapes d'élaboration de ses spiritueux ! Nathalie Delbez - Domaine Dé Calage  Juriste de formation, rien ne prédestinait Nathalie vers le monde du vin. Mais en 2010, elle décide de quitter sa vie citadine, pour reprendre les terres familiales héritées par son mari, Frédéric. Son aventure vigneronne comme en 2011, lorsqu'elle restructure le vignoble historique de 22 ha. Nathalie y introduit des nouveaux cépages tels que le Mourvèdre, tout en conservant les cépages historiques comme le Grenache ou encore le Carignan plantés il y a plus de 80 ans. Situé à proximité de Montpellier, le domaine offre un havre de paix proche d'une grande ville. Et justement, le nom « Dé Calage » n'a pas été trouvé par hasard : il est la combinaison de l'ancien nom du domaine, le « Mas de Calage », et le « décalage » qu'il représente avec le bruit des grandes villes. En plus de ses vins, Nathalie a fait le choix en 2022 de développer son offre oenotouristique en construisant un caveau de réception pour y accueillir des événements autour du vin, des dégustations ou encore des visites du domaine.

When flying winemaker Corvina Guerra visits a vineyard in Italy that is burning its vines due to a phylloxera outbreak among its roots, she makes it her mission to figure out how the aphids got there and investigate just how far the infestation had traveled worldwide. As an outbreak could contaminate her family's vineyard and end her own career, she is determined to figure things out. Corvina partners up with Bryan Lawless to travel to vineyards around the world to research and share their findings. Texas has its own hurdles to winemaking, harsh sun and significant frost among them. William Chris has taken on this challenge and leaned into hearty grapes that can not just survive, but thrive in these stark conditions. Today we are tasting a 2020 Roussanne and a 2018 Mourvèdre from the vineyards in the Texas high plains. The Roussanne is a white wine made for red wine drinkers because it has dry, hearty depth and coats the drinker's mouth much like a red. The Mourvèdre is a red variety made with the grapes of 6 different local vineyards creating a complex layered flavor and a smoky/peppery finish with the added bonus of extended maceration of the grape skins to add to the mouthfeel. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/readingbetweenthewines/support

In 2011, a case of mistaken identity resulted in hundreds of acres of Graciano being planted on California's Central Coast. The problem? Winemakers thought they were getting something else entirely—Mourvèdre. But in a surprising twist, these vineyards ended up yielding wines more intriguing than anyone expected. Now, thanks to this fortuitous accident, winemakers may have discovered a new superstar grape particularly suited to this California wine region. Contributing editor Matt Kettmann talks to Andrew Jones of Sunridge Nurseries and Justin Smith of Saxum Vineyards about how this strange situation came to be and, a decade later, how the wines have measured up.

Mourvèdre is a grape best known as part of a Rhône blend with Grenache and Syrah, but it makes fantastic wine in its own right and in a wide range of styles. Originally from Spain where it's known as Monastrell, it's also planted in California and Australia where it's sometimes called Mataró. Whatever its name, Mourvèdre prefers a warm Mediterrean climate - in Spain, France, California, Australia, and California.

Chris Brundrett, co-founder of William Chris Vineyards, is a force to be reckoned with in the Texas wine scene. His winery, its growth, and his vision for Texas wines are as big as the state itself.Check out our William Chris Vineyards at: http://www.WilliamChrisWines.comVisit our website at www.VitiCulturePodcast.com, and don’t forget to share with your friends via all major social media platforms @VitiCULTUREPodVisit Bellangelo Winery and Missick Cellars at www.Bellangelo.com and www.MissickCellars.com.Our show today was recorded in the gorgeous Wine Club tasting room at William Chris Vineyards, along the 290 Wine Trail in Texas Hill Country.  Chris Brundrett, co-founder of William Chris Vineyards, is ubiquitous in the Texas wine industry.  From his personal and political push to ensure wine labeled as Texas contains 100% Texas fruit, to his efforts to promote elevated service and wine education amongst industry members, to his charitable and philanthropic efforts to aid communities in Texas.  Chris seems to be everywhere at once.  He’s also done a great job presenting the many faces of Mourvèdre that are grown in Texas, via his numerous single vineyard and cuvee bottlings of the varietal.  He’s an affable man, who at the same time feels part evangelist, part farmer, part winemaker, and part CEO of one of Texas’ most recognizable wine brands.  More importantly, he seems to be the kind of person you just want to be friends with, the kind of person who would be happy to help if you needed something, and the kind of person you’d be happy to lend a hand to if he asked.  He’s the picture of the budding Texas wine scene, and I’m happy to share our conversation with you.With that said, the Texas wine industry is bursting with wonderful, big personalities.  From Sil over at Saint Tryphon, to Dr. Bob at Bending Branch.  And from the picpoul blanc at Lost Draw, to the Roussanne at Kuhlman - fascinating, and wonderful wines await you at the most unlikely of locations and visits.  And as a final word, there is a lot of good food to be had in Hill Country.  We loved Hill and Vine and Otto’s in Fredericksburg, I even grabbed a great panini at a roadside gas station that echoed the quality of Oakville Grocery, but the best combo of food, a relaxed and comfortable environment, a predominantly and not pretentiously dominant Texas wine list, and my favorite overall Hill Country restaurant, was 259 Brantley’s Bistro and Bar in downtown Boerne - spelled BOERNE.  Boerne isn’t a wine town, at least not yet, but this beautiful Hill Country, riverside village offered an array of wonderful regular menu options and original specials.  If you’ve visited and dined in the Finger Lakes, it was like a marriage between Ports, Kindred Fair, and Vonney’s roadside biker bar.  I enjoyed the wild hog schnitzel, the mussels were the best I’ve had outside of Belgium, and the service staff always donned a pleasant smile and ensured your glass was full.  The mussels were especially good with the Muscat Pet Nat by Saint Tryphon, and may have been one of the best Pet Nats I’ve ever had.  Life was good in this place.  This may be the end of this short series on Texas Hill Country, but it is not the end of my coverage of Texas wines.  I love this place - the people, the spirit, the service, and the sense that the best is yet to come.  As a cool climate winemaker, the alcohol levels in some of the wines do take a bit of getting used to. I’ve produced Cab Franc with alcohol levels ranging from 10.8 to 12.9, but generally simply seek balance and a representation of what the vintage represented. Then again, Texas not only has a longer growing season than the Finger Lakes, it has a lot more sun and a lot more heat. The balanced wines though, are really something - and when paired with local cuisine and a cool night by the Guadalupe River, are the stuff dreams are made of.  Chris Brundrett is another man who knows something about dreams - he knows a little something about making dreams come true.  So without further ado, here’s the show.

Alors que le Domaine Perzinsky vient d'être racheté par la Maison Chanel, je suis heureuse de vous partager le témoignage de Stéphanie. Émue aussi parce que la diffusion de cette épisode concorde avec leur départ de l'île avec Cyrille, son mari,  après plus de 30 ans de vie porquerollaise. Reconnaissante enfin, car Stéphanie fait partie des personnes qui m'ont soutenue dans ce projet de podcast. Originaire de Nouvelle-Zélande, Stéphanie a habité 6 îles avant de poser ses valises à Porquerolles en 1988. Son père, ingénieur en construction, travaillait pour Henri Vidal, inventeur de la Terre Armée.  C'est par son intermédiaire qu'elle décroche un emploi saisonnier au Mas du Langoustier alors qu'elle vient de terminer une licence de Français en Nouvelle Zélande. Ce sont ses premiers pas en France. Elle rencontre Cyrille, son futur mari, alors maître de chai pour Château Vannières après l'avoir été longtemps au Château Pibarnon à Bandol, quand il rend visite à ses parents et son frère les week-ends à Porquerolles. Cyrille et son frère Alexis cherchent un domaine à acheter. Ils soumettent le projet d'un 3ème domaine viticole à Porquerolles au Parc National et au conservatoire botanique, qui acceptent.S'ensuivent de lourds travaux de défrichage encouragés par le Parc National : la culture de la vigne reste le meilleur pare feu. La première parcelle de Mourvèdre est plantée en février 1991 et la première récolte voit le jour avec le millésime 1993. « Ce domaine a été une aventure. Tout notre temps et notre énergie sont allés dedans (…) C'est toute notre vie de couple, 30 années, à Porquerolles avec le Domaine. Ça a été la chose la plus importante dans notre vie avant l'arrivée des enfants, et même après…les enfants peuvent le dire, le Domaine passait souvent en premier. »  Stéphanie raconte leur installation, la création du Domaine, l'activité de maraîchage remplacée par l'activité viticole, l'énergie déployée dans cette entreprise familiale, son activité de factrice puis de secrétaire de mairie et ses nombreux engagements dans la vie associative de l'île, pour Lire à Porquerolles notamment. Avec sensibilité, générosité, et chaleur, Stéphanie nous fait voyager dans 30 années de souvenirs durant lesquelles elle a vu l'île et la vie de village évoluer. Seul son doux accent nous rappelle que Porquerolles n'est pas l'île où elle a grandi.Cet épisode est un passionnant témoignage sur l'histoire du Domaine Perzinsky, et un hommage vibrant aux porquerollais qui ont croisé le chemin de Stéphanie et Cyrille.L'article complet et toutes les notes et références citées dans l'épisode sont à retrouver sur fragileporquerolles.com

Dimanche 30 janvier 2022 Justine Lipuma  Justine est docteur en biologie à l'Université de Nice. Consciente de l'importance des plantes, micro-organismes et notamment des champignons vivant en symbiose avec nos chères vignes et soucieuse de valoriser ses recherches, Justine a créé la start-up MYCOPHYTO. Il s'agit d'une Agritech répondant à l'enjeu crucial de l'agriculture de demain en proposant des solutions biologiques et innovantes de revitalisation des sols. Après une entrée à l'incubateur PACA EST en 2016 et une première phase d'accélération avec une levée de fonds en 2019, MYCOPHYTO entame aujourd'hui une nouvelle phase de développement avec des nouveaux programmes d'innovation. La filière viticole connaît des bouleversements multiples induits par le changement climatique et la demande des consommateurs et MYCOPHYTO est là pour apporter des solutions personnalisées aux différents acteurs de la filière. Justine collabore donc directement avec les viticulteurs, interprofessions, coopératives…    William Jonquères d'Oriola   Après un BTS en œnologie, William, curieux et passionné, part faire un tour du monde des vins en solitaire pendant 20 mois. Cette expérience lui permet de s'ouvrir à des techniques œnologiques inédites, il aiguise sa sensibilité et son penchant pour une viticulture toujours plus respectueuse de l'environnement. Après une collaboration d'une dizaine d'années avec son père, William reprend les rênes du domaine familial. Le vignoble se déploie sur 95 hectares de vignes répartis sur différentes propriétés localisées entre le sud de Perpignan et Collioure, dans le Roussillon. Les vins que propose le domaine sont produits à partir de Syrah, Mourvèdre, Grenache et Macabeu en appellations Côtes du Roussillon et Rivesaltes. Le respect de l'environnement et de la biodiversité a une place intégrante dans le domaine et l'obtention de la certification Haute Valeur Environnementale en témoigne. William a aussi participé à la création d'un verger de 6000 oliviers en agriculture biologique et certifié Ecocert.  

Dimanche 16 janvier 2022 Michel Gassier   Michel a grandi dans le sud de la France au milieu des vignes familiales. Après un diplôme d'ingénieur agronome, il part aux Etats Unis pour occuper un poste d'attaché viticole à l'ambassade de France. En 1993, Michel revient en France pour rejoindre le Château de Nages, la ferme familiale de vignes et de vergers créée par son grand-père dans les années 40. La propriété se trouve aux Costières de Nîmes, l'appellation la plus méridionale de la Vallée du Rhône et en plein cœur d'une zone classée Natura 2000. Michel a transformé avec passion la ferme familiale d'un vigneron méconnu en un domaine bio premium. On trouve dans les parcelles de la Syrah, Grenache, Roussanne et Mourvèdre. En les cultivant en agriculture bio et avec une approche minimaliste dans la cave, Michel crée des vins équilibrés, frais et minérales. La biodiversité occupe une place importante sur le domaine avec des ruches d'abeilles, des nichoirs à oiseaux, des zones réservées aux fleurs sauvages.  Jean Teissèdre   C'est en 2011 que Jean s'installe sur le domaine familial après plusieurs expériences dans des domaines du Beaujolais et de Sancerre. Sa sœur, Sophie, le rejoint en 2015 avec son époux Jérôme. Ces trois passionnés du vin ont cette envie commune : partager leur terroir à travers leurs vins. Soucieux du respect de l'environnement, Jean cultive ses vignes en bio et biodynamie afin d'obtenir les raisins les plus sains possibles et le meilleur potentiel qualitatif. Jean va même au-delà des vins puisque depuis 2020, il transforme ses propres céréales sur le domaine et commercialise ses farines bio auprès des artisans boulangers locaux, magasins bio et directement au caveau. Le domaine des Bérioles bénéficie aussi d'un cadre exceptionnel par exemple avec son chai situé dans une ancienne bâtisse bourbonnaise, au pied d'une petite chapelle et traversée par le chemin de Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle. Jean propose aussi une offre oenotouristique unique sur le vignoble de Saint-Pourçain. Il a notamment créé en 2018 les « Balades en Bérioles » avec 5 très belles routes oenotouristiques.

The Farmhouse California Red 2019 is a blend of Zinfandel, Mourvèdre, Carignane, Syrah, Petite Sirah, and Grenache sourced from vineyards in California. Farmhouse California is one of Cline Family Cellars' line of wine.Cline is a family-owned winery founded in 1981 that specializes in sustainably farmed vineyards and wine. One of the things I admire about Cline Family Cellars is that they produce single-vineyard wines that sell for fifty, sixty, or seventy dollars but they also make excellent value-priced wines.The Farmhouse in the brand name refers to an old schoolhouse at Green String Farm where natural, sustainable farming practices are researched and taught. It is a world-class destination for sustainable practices.I choose the Farmhouse California Red 2019 because a was looking for an inexpensive (I found it on sale for $8.99), honest Red wine. I was not looking for fancy production techniques and stats, just a glass of good tasting wine.The Farmhouse California Red 2019 gave me a little something extra for my money. The grape blend is an interesting array of varietals that originate in southern France, along with good old USA Zinfandel (it is actually from the Mediterranean). This Red blend will not taste like the same old same old.The blend was aged with French oak (40% new oak) for 8 months, which is a pretty lengthy aging process for a 2019 vintage. The technical notes never say the word "barrel", just French oak. You see that a lot with value-priced wine and I am never sure exactly what that means. Were no barrels used, there are different ways to get oak conditioning?With an inexpensive wine if oak barrels were used or not isn't particularly important. If whatever they do work and tastes natural and right is all that I am concerned with. So, the Farmhouse California Red 2019 is an interesting blend of sustainably farmed grapes and is vegan friendly, too. The alcohol content is 13.5%.Farmhouse California Red 2019 Tasting NotesThe color is a see-thru, but just barely purple. The nose is ripe fruit, with some dark chocolate notes, black pepper, spice, plum, raspberry, and blueberry.This is a medium-bodied bright, fruit-forward wine. It tastes of blueberry, Snickers chocolate, plum, a brush of dusty spice, and black pepper. The mid-palate adds tart cherry, orange zest, and cranberry.The tannins are soft and smooth and the acidity gives a shine to all the flavors. This is a tasty wine.The SummaryThe Farmhouse California Red 2019 is a solid, honest, tasty, value-priced red blend.Expensive wine is not good and inexpensive wine is somehow bad. Value-priced wine is made in a different style than the expensive stuff.Value wines can be bright, alive, and juicy, with fresh flavors, it is a very appealing style.The Farmhouse California Red 2019 is an excellent example of value wine.
