This week, we are joined by Rod Hallam, Market Manager for Canada at Villa Maria Estate in New Zealand. We learn that Villa Maria sources grapes from multiple wine regions across New Zealand, with their primary focus on the renowned Marlborough region. Then we travelled to the Black Sage Bench in South Oliver, BC, for a chat with Kaylee Barss, winemaker at Red Barn Winery at Jagged Rock. We discussed Kaylee's passion for reimagining traditional Okanagan varieties, such as Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc, while exploring exotic Italian grapes like Nebbiolo and Barbera, and we tasted 2024 Transfiction Rosé. Next, we head to Nighthawk Vineyards, a boutique family farm gate winery overlooking scenic Green Lake Valley high above Okanagan Falls. We also spoke with Daniel Bibby, co-owner and winemaker, about his Nighthawk wines, their luxury tent accommodations, top-level restaurant, and impressive new artistic bottle labels. Finally, it's all things Kamloops for a fun catch-up with Trish Morelli, executive director of the Kamloops Wine Trail, who shares what makes the Kamloops wine region so unique, along with key wineries to visit and some of the exciting events happening this summer in the area.

From the alpine elegance of Alto Adige to the rolling hills of Piedmont, and the sparkling lakeside vineyards of Veneto, they break down the hallmark red and white grapes that define the area. Expect insights on everything from Nebbiolo and Barbera to Pinot Grigio and Gavi, as well as a dive into the wine styles that make Northern Italy a powerhouse—think Barolo, Amarone, and Franciacorta.

Last week we had a Chianti from Tuscany, a Susumaniello from Puglia, and a Montepulciano from Abruzzo. Tonight, we have a Barolo from the Piemonte region. The area is known mostly for the home of two red grape varieties, Nebbiolo and Barbera. Nebbiolo is used to produce Barolo and Barbaresco, and Barbera is the typical table wine for the area. Barbera has become known over the last 30 years for its quality. Piemonte is also known for Dolcetto, Gattinara, Gavi, and Moscato. Dolcetto is an early ripening dark-red wine grape. It produces a soft, round, and fruit-forward red wine that is drank young. Gavi comes from the Cortese grape. Gavi often has some carbonation but can also be made into a more substantial wine. (Metodo Classico – minimum of 18 months of Lees contact). Two common terms are Spumante and Frizzante. They indicate a sparkling wine and semi-sparkling wine, respectively. Many people think of Barolo as being the best wine in the world. It is a high-tannin and high-acid wine that ages well.Tonight, we are enjoying:2019 Kirkland Signature Barolo. This wine was purchased at Costco for $20. RWS – aromas of leather, black cherry, cedar, licorice, black pepper and spice. Another reviewer said earthy flavors with cherry and blackberry, and noticeable acid. The wine has 13.5% alcohol. This wine had bright acidity regardless of its six-year age. Both Denise and I scored the wine a three. I believe the wine should be stored a little longer before consuming. Next week we will learn about and taste a South African Chenin Blanc and a Rhone Valley White Blend.

Investing in wine might seem risky. Might seem like a horizon uncrossed. There is growing success rate in wine investments and it takes a trained and experience broker/agent to know where and when. Marc Lefleur might be the only man who can make a conversation about asset classes as delicious as a glass of aged Barolo. In this episode, you'll travel from the sun-dappled slopes of Piemonte to the bustling banking circles of Geneva, all while unraveling the mysteries of wine investment with someone fluent in four languages and even more terroirs. You'll learn why not every cellar-worthy wine turns to gold, and why the idea that you can just “buy pallets of wine and hope that in ten years you'll sell them at a better price” is more myth than market truth. Marc demystifies the romantic shroud of Bordeaux, reveals the artisanal heart still beating in the hills of Barolo, and exposes how climate change is tipping the scales for Nebbiolo in ways that might surprise even the savviest collector. You'll come away with an insider's view of how global forces, tradition, and innovation intersect in the collectible wine market—and why terms like “scarcity” and “terroir” aren't just marketing buzzwords, but real factors with measurable impact on the future value of your cellar. Whether you're a collector flirting with investment-grade bottles or a curious sipper wondering what makes wine an “intellectual part of the meal,” this conversation will give you the tools to separate perception from reality, and help you rethink what it means for a wine—and its drinker—to stand the test of time. Wine Investment: Reality vs. Misconception Not all wines appreciate over time: The idea you can buy any wine, store it, and expect profits is false—most wines won't increase in value after 10 years. Investment-grade wines are rare: Only a very small percentage of wines are worth considering as investments; quality, pedigree, and rarity matter most. Speculation vs. investing: Speculation is chasing quick financial gains, while true wine investment is a long-term horizon (10–20+ years). Cycles and market timing: The wine market, like any other, is cyclical; there are favorable and less favorable periods for investment. The Importance of Rarity & Scarcity Perceived vs. actual scarcity: Even top Bordeaux first growths, like Mouton Rothschild or Margaux, produce large quantities (hundreds of thousands of bottles)—they're not as rare as people often think. Burgundy & Piedmont (Piemonte) are where true scarcity lives: Top Burgundy and Barolo/Barbaresco producers may release just a few barrels (sometimes less than 5,000 bottles) from single sites. Demand for top wines is shaped by volume, pedigree, and market cycles.   #WineInvesting #FineWine #WineCollection #WineTalksPodcast #MarcLefleur #BordeauxWine #PiedmontWines #WineEducation

Willkommen zur fünften Folge der dritten Staffel des VINONIA.com Wein-Podcasts!

Ein Sommelier von Format. Alfred Voigt war nicht nur einer der dienstlängsten und beständigsten Weinkellner in Deutschland, sondern auch eine Institution deutscher Weinfachmenschen – ein Virtuose des feinsinnig abstrusen Humors, ein Architekt des pointierten Schweigens und der akribisch inszenierten Eskalation im Weinglas und am Tisch seiner Gäste. Geboren in einer Zeit, als der Genuss noch eine eher beiläufige Randnotiz des Alltags war, entwickelte Alfred Voigt früh ein tiefes Verständnis für jene eigenartigen Momente des gesellschaftlichen Miteinanders, in denen der Mensch – oder besser gesagt, der Deutsche im Besonderen – in vollem Umfang an der Wahl des richtigen Weines scheitert. Ein Rotwein, der zum Fisch bestellt wird, ein Schaumwein, der mit Eiseskälte das Aroma erstickt, oder eine allzu unbedarfte Frage nach der „guten Flasche“ – Alfred Voigt wusste, dass das Drama des Genusses oft im winzigen Detail liegt, zwischen erwartungsvollem Nippen und ratlosem Stirnrunzeln. Seine Empfehlungen – seien es große Nebbiolo, die auf der Zunge ganze Geschichten erzählen, gereifte Weine aus dem Loire-Tal, die dem Gast das Reframing der eigenen Geschmackswelt abverlangen, oder rare Tropfen, die mehr über den Winzer als über das Weinglas verraten – waren keine bloßen Serviervorschläge, sondern fein ziselierte Anleitungen zur Erweiterung des kulinarischen Horizonts. Alfred verstand und versteht es meisterhaft, aus einer einzigen unauffälligen Bemerkung eines Gastes ein sensorisches Erlebnis zu entfalten – ein Talent, das ihn nicht nur als Sommelier, sondern auch als Meister des gastronomischen Dialogs auszeichnete. Seine Sprache – ein wohltemperiertes Bouquet aus fachlicher Präzision und feinsinnigem Understatement – bot eine Bühne für all jene kleinen Katastrophen der Weinkultur, die nur der wirklich Geduldige mit Contenance erträgt und der wirklich Geübte mit einem nachsichtigen Lächeln begleitet. Und so bleibt festzustellen: Alfred Voigt hat der deutschen Gastronomie nicht nur exzellente Weinempfehlungen, unvergessliche Genussmomente und die Kunst des perfekten Timings hinterlassen, sondern vor allem eine große Wahrheit: Ein Leben ohne guten Wein ist möglich – aber sinnlos.

Sometimes things don't go as planned.In this episode of Deep Dive Wine Acoustics, hosts Andy Tarnoff and the Dandy Warhols' Courtney Taylor-Taylor explore the intricacies of Barolo, the king of Italian wines, and its Nebbiolo grape. They discuss the strict regulations governing Barolo production, share personal anecdotes from their experiences in the Barolo region, and delve into the tasting process, including the use of wine tools and the pairing of wine with cheese and salami. The conversation also covers expert opinions and ratings on Barolo, highlighting the wine's flavor profiles and characteristics. The discussion transitions into the relationship between music and wine, exploring how both art forms can evoke emotions and memories. The conversation delves into the intricacies of song structure, live performances, and the role of various instruments, including the hand-clap and the harmonica. But, it goes downhill when Andy realizes his black truffle oil salami ruined the taste of this Albe Barolo. Then Courtney's phone dies. And finally, Courtney informs Andy they weren't drinking the same vintage. Oops. Call this one a mulligan.Video version here: https://youtu.be/8SwApV-ZTlYJoin this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUXIrQ2rO5B_z-AEpjmKaAw/join Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Barolo and Nebbiolo 02:57 Exploring Wine Tools and Techniques 05:47 Tasting Experience: Wine and Cheese Pairing 09:05 Flavor Profiles and Wine Characteristics 12:13 Expert Opinions on Barolo 15:03 Comparative Tasting and Ratings 25:50 Nostalgic Memories and Musical Imprints 31:52 The Intersection of Music and Wine 35:40 Exploring Song Structure and Live Performances 42:42 The Role of Instruments in Music 48:00 Wine Pairing Challenges and Experiences

In northern Italy,  Alba, Barolo and Barbaresco have become wine tourist destinations. How can you make the most of your visit to these regions in Piemonte? Why should you try a Nebbiolo wine from Roero? Why is there so much excitement about the sparkling wines of Piemonte now? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with David Way, author of the terrific book The Wines of Piemonte. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks   Giveaway Two of you will win a copy of his terrific new book, The Wines of Piemonte. 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 should you know about Gaja and the Barbaresco cooperative? Why did David have to wait outside a Barbaresco winery for an hour past his appointment without any explanation? How does Moscato d'Asti compare to Champagne, and why is it often undervalued? What are the differences between how Moscato d'Asti and Prosecco are produced? What is the history of sparkling wine production in Piemonte, including the pioneering work of Carlo Gancia? What can you expect from the red sparkling wines of Piemonte? Why should you try a Nebbiolo from Roero and what characteristics can you anticipate? How can you plan a fascinating wine trip to Piemonte?    Key Takeaways  David notes that Alba, Barolo and Barbaresco have beautiful landscapes, amazing wines, and incredible cuisine with lots of lovely small Michelin-starred restaurants. There are also boutique hotels that are relatively inexpensive.  There is a region called Roero, which is 20 minutes north of Alba. What people don't know about Roero, is that it's also an excellent source of Nebbiolo wines, at much lower prices.  Piemonte has both tank method and traditional method sparkling wines. Traditional method sparkling wine made in the bottle is typical of two areas outside Piemonte, Franciacorta and Trentodoc. But Piemonte is actually the pioneer of that style.    About David Way David Way initially specialized in the wines of the Tuscan Maremma before broadening his interests to the rest of Italy and beyond. He works as Senior Researcher on the five textbooks for the WSET Level 4 Diploma in Wines. In his own name, David wrote The Wines of Piemonte . The book gives unparalleled coverage of one of Italy's most important regions and includes 200 producer profiles. The book was honoured by the OIV at its award ceremony in Lisbon in 2024.   Bonus Interview – Jo Penn: Highlights How can you legally protect yourself as a writer? What can writers do to engage readers and especially book clubs?

Are you curious about the wines of Piemonte in northern Italy? Why are Barolo and Barbaresco often compared with Burgundy? What makes Nebbiolo unique as a grape? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with David Way, author of the new book The Wines of Piemonte. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks   Giveaway Two of you will win a copy of his terrific new book, The Wines of Piemonte. 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 makes David's book, The Wines of Piemonte, different from other Italian wine books? How does Piemonte compare geographically to other well-known Italian wine regions? Why does the Piemonte region have so many wine denominations and what are the challenges this presents? What approach does David recommend for understanding Piemonte denominations? Why is Piemonte often compared to Burgundy? What are the unique qualities of Piemonte's signature grape, Nebbiolo? How has Nebbiolo evolved from the “tannic monster” of the past? How do Nebbiolo and Barbera grapes compare? Should you decant your wines?   Key Takeaways Much has been written about the Barolo and Barbaresco appellations of Piemonte but very little about the rest of the region. Barolo and Barbaresco have many small plots owned by many small growers so in that sense, it's very much like Burgundy. It's also similar in that tiny differences of altitude, soil type, vineyard orientation, and wind direction make big differences in the final wine.  David believes that the magic of Nebbiolo is its extraordinary aromatic complexity and amazing structure. It has structure, but not too overt in that it still has a silky and textured and it can age for decades.   About David Way David Way initially specialized in the wines of the Tuscan Maremma before broadening his interests to the rest of Italy and beyond. He works as Senior Researcher on the five textbooks for the WSET Level 4 Diploma in Wines. In his own name, David wrote The Wines of Piemonte (Classic Wine Library, 2023). The book gives unparalleled coverage of one of Italy's most important regions and includes 200 producer profiles. The book was honoured by the OIV at its award ceremony in Lisbon in 2024.   Bonus Interview – Jo Penn: Highlights What are the challenges of writing memoir compared to more journalistic writing? How does it feel to be a supertaster? How does the concept of "terroir" in wine compare to the development of a writer's unique voice?   About Jo Penn Jo Penn is an award-winning New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of horror, thrillers, dark fantasy, crime, and travel memoirs, as well as short stories. She's also an award-winning podcaster. She has a Master's in Theology from the University of Oxford.

Det her er “moderne/seje/cool” vine på nebbiolo.   Vi skal også have den grundige introduktion til nebbiolo-druen.   Hvad sker der hvis jorden er FOR fertil og hvad sker der hvis vinene står i meget næringsrig jord?     Hvad er og kan druerne croatina og vesplina, som de også bruger i vinene hos NOAH?     Hvilken jordbund findes der i området, hvornår modner nebbiolo-druen og hvilke regler er der for antal procenter af hjælpedruesorter i vinene?     Har René mon fået brugt sit nye forklæde, som Jonas gav ham i gave og hvilken mad kan man spise til vinene?     Til slut svarer vi på et lytterspørgsmål angående den nye vinstil vs. den “gamle” vinstil og hvad der mon bliver moderne at drikke i fremtiden?     Kort over Piemonte https://media.winefolly.com/Piedmont-Italy-Wine-Map-2016-Wine-Folly-1.jpg       Vi smager på   1) Rossonoah, NOAH, 2023 https://vinpusheren.dk/products/rossonoah-2020-magnum     2) Bramaterra Salero, NOAH  2019https://vinpusheren.dk/products/noah-bramaterra-salerno-2019     3) Lessona, NOAH, 2019https://vinpusheren.dk/products/noah-bramaterra-salerno-2019   .....................

If you've ordered a bottle of Barolo in the last 20 years, you can probably thank Jeff Porter for that. Despite now being a staple on wine lists and collections, Piedmont wines haven't always received the same reverence as their French counterparts. Former wine and beverage director for Batali & Bastianich Hospitality—turned Wine Enthusiast writer and reviewer for northern Italy—left NYC to fully immerse himself in the heart of Piemonte. He joins us for an insider's look at the region: From surprising misnomers about aging Barolo to the best value in the region, this episode takes you way beyond Nebbiolo and deep into the culture, history, and vibe of this iconic region.

This episode features Nicole Alvarez, the head Sommelier and Beverage Director at The Alden in Chamblee, GA. She has been working in restaurants since she was 16, but she also recently graduated with her college degree in Political Science last December. Her current focus is to expand the wine list at The Alden to meet the variety and range of the culinary program. Her role includes everything from buying, tasting, staff training, wine list inventory and maintenance, and wine pairings. We talk about her approach to designing wine pairings, her relationships with her wine reps, and how her family and her community continuously inspire her to chase after all her goals and dreams. She will also leave you with some insight on finding ways to relieve some of the stress of working in the service industry, and we may inspire you to drink more Champagne and Nebbiolo going into the spring season. When she is not hitting the wine grind, she says she is an avid gamer, a runner, and a crafter.

It's a busy time if year, but we will always sit down for Barolo. Sometimes called “the wine of kings” or the “king of wines” - Barolo is arguably one of the most popular choices among bottles of red this time of year. Made from 100% Nebbiolo, it's a bold wine with serious tannins that's perfect for cold nights and hearty dinners. Kathryn gives a little history on the region and the layout of the area. Back at home the family has been hopping around holiday parties, winter concerts and piano recitals. Tug is busy booking events at Esters.

Last week we took a deep dive into Piedmont and its luscious food and wine, closing our visit at the 500 year-old Tenuta Carretta for lunch. The Tenuta has several restaurants - one a Michelin star restaurant - great accommodation, and wines. Piedmont wines are world-renowned and this remarkable wine region produces more DOCG wines than any other Italian region. It also ranks sixth among the Italian regions in annual production volume. Piedmont produces all kinds of wines from sparkling whites, to rosés to red wines.  Perhaps the best known wine in the region is Barolo. As it turns out Barolo is not a kind of wine or a grape varietal, but rather the name of a town where luscious Barolo red wine is produced from the Nebbiolo grape. If your pocket won't allow you to drink Barolo wine regularly then consider some of the other wonderful wines produced using this grape.

Today, I am sharing a Best of episode. This originally dropped on June 22, 2020 and has had a significant amount of downloads, so I thought I would bring it up to the forefront for anyone who missed it.  Do you remember your elementary school days? There were the small desks and short water fountains. You stayed in one classroom, but the subject you were learning about changed throughout the day. Oh, and don't forget about recess! The best time of the day! Back then, the three Rs were all the rage! Reading, Writing and Arithmetic. It is said that there are three learning styles: visual, auditory and kinesthetic. For wine lovers, kinesthetic is definitely our favorite modality. The best way to learn about wine is to taste it and over the last few months I was privileged to taste my way through the Three Bs of Italy. On today's episode, I am sharing another Raid Y(our) Cellar virtual event I attended hosted by Benchmark Wine Group on Barolo and Barbaresco made from Nebbiolo and Brunello which is made from Sangiovese. Better known as the Three Bs. These virtual tastings are free to join but you may want to contribute in support of the United Sommeliers Foundation, a non for profit organization that helps wine industry professionals during times of hardship.

In this episode Keith has a chat with Pietro Ratti, the son of Renato Ratti who was responsible for isolating Barolo Terroir. Pietro is carrying on this legacy and talked with Keith about the family history, the Nebbiolo grape, and the importance of a sense of place in Barolo. Hosted on Acast.
