Hey friend — we're kicking off season five with a cozy, gossip-filled Q&A. Come hang while we spill our first celeb scandals, swap fave (and not-so-fave) wines, and debate whether a hot dog is a sandwich or a taco. It's low-key, honest, and full of the kind of banter we'd have over a picnic bottle of Pinot. Got questions? Send them our way — we love answering on the show and sending out swag.
Recorded - 8/17/2025 On Episode 335 of the Almost Sideways Movie Podcast, we wrap up our summer study of 2010 by giving the full deep dive treatment to our Pinot winner for Best Picture.

Send us a textLooking for a wine that punches well above its price tag? The Compass Bridge Sonoma Pinot Noir from Trader Joe's might be your new favorite affordable discovery.This limited-edition $9.99 Pinot Noir comes from the powerhouse Delicato Family Vineyards, which recently acquired Coppola's Sonoma operations. Between these two wine giants, they've mastered the art of creating value-priced wines that deliver genuine quality without the premium price tag.What impressed me most about this Compass Bridge Pinot Noir is how it maintains authentic varietal character. At 14.5% alcohol, it could easily become overwhelming, yet it remains beautifully balanced with a medium-to-light body that Pinot lovers will appreciate. The flavor profile offers black cherry, raspberry, subtle herbs, and even hints of Dr. Pepper complexity, all with that characteristic Pinot Noir "funk" that might seem strange at first but quickly becomes addictive.While not as complex as premium Sonoma Pinots costing three or four times as much, this wine delivers surprising length, with flavors that linger pleasantly on the palate. It's part of a limited Trader Joe's collection that includes a $7.99 Chardonnay and $9.99 Cabernet Sauvignon, all from Sonoma County. If you enjoy discovering hidden gems and wines that overdeliver for their price, grab a bottle (or several) while you can. As with many Trader Joe's special wine finds, once this limited edition sells out, it's gone for good. Uncork a bottle tonight and experience how satisfying affordable wine can truly be!Check us out at www.cheapwinefinder.comor email us at podcast@cheapwinefinder.com

In this unique episode, Kerith Overstreet of Bruliam Wines in Sonoma returns to give us an update (she was on Ep 269 in 2019). Kerith/Bruliam is a boutique producer of vineyard-designated wines, mainly of Pinot Noir and she gives us a full education on the differences between some of the main Pinot regions of California. The cool thing about this show? The last third of the podcast is a business discussion about something she and I are always discussing – how to get our kids' generation – Gen Z – to appreciate wine. Kerith's daughter Amelia (the AM in BruliAM), a 21-year-old Gen Z'er, joins to help us analyze the situation and give some advice (she's a smart cookie and has some great insight!). For anyone who has young people in their lives and is wondering how to turn them on to wine, this should be an interesting perspective. Photo: Kerith Overstreet in her vineyard.

BoaVentura wines are truly handmade. The grapes are hand-picked by family and friends, and Brett and Monique take pride in crafting wines that BoaVentura Baptiste de Caires would be proud of.

What happens when a powerhouse trial lawyer and his equally driven wife trade suits and city life for vines and vision in Oregon's Willamette Valley? You get LucidWild — a boutique winery rooted in purpose, passion, and one hell of a view.In this episode of the Weinnotes Podcast, I sit down with Blair and LJ Nicholas, the couple behind LucidWild, to talk about their incredible journey from the courtroom and corporate world to crafting wine with soul and intention. This isn't a “retirement” story — it's a second chapter fueled by grit, heart, and a relentless desire to create something lasting from the land.We kick things off with a blind tasting (spoiler: it's a 2016 Chardonnay from their winemaker, the iconic Isabelle Meunier), and then get into the backstory of how LucidWild came to be. From their early inspiration on a trip to Tuscany to planting 300 vines in their backyard, Blair and LJ share how the spark of curiosity turned into a full-blown calling.You'll hear how they fell in love with Oregon wine after hearing a Burgundian winemaker tell them, “This is not about the winemaker. This is about the land.” That philosophy stuck. It's the soul of LucidWild, where every decision — from native ferments to the intentional layout of their immersive, multi-room tasting experience — honors the land and the stories it tells.LJ takes us behind the design of Lucid Wild's stunning new tasting space, from the Sky Room to the speakeasy hidden in plain sight. Her approach? Experiential and emotional design that invites guests to feel like they're walking into a friend's home — not a pretentious wine fortress. You'll hear about their “ideal lab” for business meetings, a game room with billiards and bocce, and how the bathrooms (yes, the bathrooms) became an unlikely Instagram hotspot thanks to the label artwork proudly displayed inside.Blair gets real about why he left law — not to escape, but to build something with meaning. He shares how LucidWild's wine lineup reflects different expressions of their estate vineyard. Every bottle is made from 100% estate fruit, and they even use a golf cart to take guests right to the vines where the wine comes from. It's about connection to the land, to each other, and to the stories shared over a great glass of wine.We talk about their exciting new sparkling wine collaboration made by Isabelle Meunier and her husband, acclaimed sparkling winemaker Andrew Davis. It's their first sparkling release and a labor of love that brought both families together around the table (literally) to taste through styles and build something uniquely Oregon.Throughout the interview, we dig into what makes Oregon wine, and Willamette Valley in particular, so special right now. From world-class Pinot and Chardonnay to a rising sparkling scene, Blair and LJ are bullish on the valley's future and grateful to be part of a region where intention still matters more than mass production.We also lighten things up with a round of rapid-fire questions. LJ wants the superpower to duplicate herself (because who doesn't?), Blair wants to solve homelessness, and they both agree that wine is best enjoyed with good people, good music, and a whole lot of heart.Lucid Wild isn't just a winery. It's a philosophy, a commitment to making beautiful wines that reflect place, people, and purpose. Whether you're a wine lover, a design nerd, or someone dreaming of your own next chapter, this episode is full of inspiration, real talk, and a little sparkle (literally and figuratively).

Thomas vom Weingut Stroblhof in Eppan gibt seltene Einblicke: Wie bewertet er die Jahrgänge 2023 und 2024 und was erwartet uns 2025? Wir sprechen über seine Pinot-Noir-Philosophie (Blauburgunder), den bewussten Einsatz von Holz sowie darüber, warum Weißburgunder trotz aller Blauburgunder-Liebe die strategisch wichtigste Rebsorte im Betrieb bleibt. Außerdem: Wie funktioniert der Balanceakt zwischen Vinum-Hotel und Weingut? Wer übernimmt welche Rolle in der Familie und wie schafft man es, in beiden Bereichen konsequent Spitzenqualität zu liefern?
You know Pinot Noir. But do you know Spätburgunder? For years, wine insiders have known that German Pinot Noir offers Burgundian-level quality at a fraction of the price. But in this episode we're blowing this industry secret wide open courtesy of Zack Musick (German Wine Collection) who joins us for a fresh take on one of the world's most beloved grapes. From unexpected flavor profiles (think bone broth, mushrooms, and spice) to why an eagle on the label is a true marker for quality, we're digging into how Pinot Noir expresses itself in Germany outside of its classic regions and why it's often considered the ultimate “terroir grape,” capable of transparently reflecting the soil, climate, and place it's grown. Plus, we've got all your food pairings ranging from classic duck to Philly cheesesteaks and Amanda's unexpected (but highly effective) Costco salad and chicken schnitzel hack.
Livermore provides a phenomenal opportunity to experience wine. Ron, Janice, Marie, Tim, Chrysanne, John, Nancy, Doug, Tracey and Andrea met in Livermore over 25 years ago and started Arroyo Cellars in 2018. We welcome you to come by and experience our stellar wines in an urban setting along Livermore's Vasco Row. An arroyo is a habitat that evolves over time and provides relief from the elements, food and drink for its inhabitants, and a place to relax, mingle, and co-exist with other species. So too is Arroyo Cellars. It has evolved over twenty years of friendship. It provides us relief from our everyday jobs, food and wine (the necessities of life), and a place for family and friends to enjoy each other's company.
Send us a textDiscovering exceptional wine values is always exciting, especially when they come from unexpected places. The Sunshine Mountain Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023 from the Columbia Valley of Oregon represents exactly this kind of delightful surprise - a $14.99 Trader Joe's exclusive that punches well above its weight class.What makes this Pinot truly special is its origin story. Unlike the typical Oregon Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley, this single-vineyard wine hails from about 60 miles east of Portland where the Columbia Valley extends into Oregon. This distinctive microclimate boasts volcanic soils and approximately 300 days of sunshine annually - dramatically different conditions than you'd expect in typically rainy western Oregon. These unique growing conditions contribute to a Pinot Noir with remarkable character and complexity.The wine itself reveals classic translucent garnet coloration and that wonderfully funky, complex nose that Pinot enthusiasts crave. Unlike most value-priced Pinot Noir that aims for immediate approachability, Sunshine Mountain presents as more individual and complex. It starts somewhat tight, with sharp edges and spicy notes that might challenge your palate initially. But patience is rewarded - give it time to breathe, swirl your glass, and watch as beautiful fruit flavors emerge to balance those initial sharp notes. This evolution in the glass, typically found only in more expensive bottles, transforms it into something truly special.Produced by Precept Wine Company (through their Northwest Collective subsidiary), the largest independent wine producer in the Northwest, this bottle delivers what Trader Joe's suggests would normally compete with wines in the $20-30 range. Whether you're a casual wine drinker or a dedicated Pinot enthusiast, this bottle offers an opportunity to experience a distinctive expression of Oregon terroir at a fraction of the expected price. Give it the time it deserves to open up, and you'll discover why single-vineyard Pinot Noir from unique growing regions creates such passionate devotees.Check us out at www.cheapwinefinder.comor email us at podcast@cheapwinefinder.com
Loved my interview with Etude Senior Winemaker & General Manager Jon Priest. Etude is one of the preeminent Pinot Noir producers in California. This was such a fun Pinot masterclass with a winemaker who has been working with this "very, very needy" grape for over 25 years.
Located on the true Sonoma Coast, Ross Cobb of Cobb Wines tackles the intricate challenges of vineyard management and unpredictable weather.

Fancy a trip to the West Coast? For this week, we taste and review two different bottles of Bull Run American Whiskey with unique finishes and a surprise blind from our friend Shawn (Camas Whiskey Club). Since 2010, Bull Run has been sourcing and finishing some amazing whiskeys. While Bull Run is known to us for the whiskey they produce, they also dabble in rum, vodka, and other spirits. One of the bottles that we review is a 17 year old American Whiskey finished for two years in Pinot Noir casks and the other is a 15 year old American Whiskey finished in Sherry casks.

What makes old Malbec vines planted in the 1920s so rare and valuable today? Why would a Canadian winemaker head to Mendoza, Argentina, to start a winery? What's one of the biggest challenges holding back Canadian wine and how can consumers change that? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Ann Sperling & Peter Gamble. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks Highlights What makes Devotion different from other On Seven wines? What inspired Peter to look beyond Canada to Argentina for winemaking? How did he decide on the particular vineyard to purchase? What is massal selection in viticulture? How did Versado end up with such old vines, and how does this show up in the wine? Are there aspects of Malbec that are similar to Pinot? How have Ann and Peter revitalized the Leily Winery? What are the differences and similarities between Leily and On Seven Chardonnays? What would Ann and Peter like their legacies to be in the Canadian wine industry? What are the greatest threats to the Canadian wine industry? Which three figures in the wine industry would Peter invite to a dream dinner party? Key Takeaways In the 1905 to 1925 period in Argentina, winemakers at the time planted the greatest genetic diversity amongst the Malbec vines, because they were still learning about it. Their Versado vineyard reflects that time when genetic diversity was appreciated. We visited a lot of wine regions in the world for the meetings, both fun and a necessity, and one of them was Mendoza and loved the climate - a really interesting climate from the point of view of creating flavors and grapes, and really liked the lifestyle as well. We essentially decided it'd be interesting to do something small there that also gives us a second harvest during New Year's. So we can practice twice as often. That was the driver, the potential quality there. They've been talking about this for probably the 40 years that they've been making wine and and they want to figure out how to have lasting consumer engagement. They have a lot of devoted buyers, but they also know kind of the monopoly culture is that, well, if the wine you were looking for today isn't on the shelf, you can buy something else. Promoting the message of buying directly from the wineries, and if you want to try that wine that's made in Nova Scotia or BC, that you actually can order it and have it shipped to your home province. Those interprovincial trade barriers aren't real. There's lots of wine shipping that's taking place already. Just get on your computer like you do with so many other products that you buy and buy online. About Ann Sperling & Peter Gamble Often referred to as the “power couple” of the Canadian wine industry, Peter Gamble and Ann Sperling have long pursued the pinnacles of wine quality in Canadian vineyards and wineries. Following her upbringing on her family's Okanagan Valley vineyard, Ann turned to the soil for the character and complexity of her wines. Acknowledged as a Canadian pioneer of organic and biodynamic viticulture, ‘terroir' was at the centre of her philosophy and she is renowned for her head winemaking roles at Malivoire, Southbrook, and Sperling Vineyards. Peter, a lifetime wine industry professional, has worked alongside Canada's most passionate winemakers to achieve greater heights with our finest appellation wines. Since 2000, Peter has provided expertise in ultra-premium winemaking operations, including: Stratus, Ravine, Benjamin Bridge and Lightfoot & Wolfville. With the purchase of a top-flight ancient Malbec planting in Mendoza, Argentina, in 2008, Ann and Peter broadened their winemaking activities, but Niagara remains their cherished home base. Current focus is on these Niagara projects: On Seven, Lailey and Stonebridge Vineyards and Dobbin Estate. To learn more, visit https://www.nataliemaclean.com/343.

This episode features a conversation with Scott Neal, the winemaker and owner at Coeur de Terre Vineyard in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. Along with his wife Lisa, they crafted a humble 57 cases in their inaugural 2002 vintage but have grown to making over 6000 cases a year of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Syrah, and Sparkling wines from grapes grown on their estate vineyard in the McMinnville AVA. We talk a lot about geology in this episode because his wine style is focused on reflecting the time and place from which the grapes were grown by employing a gentle hand and allowing the grapes to express in their voice. In the vineyard, organic growing practices have been followed from the beginning in 1998 with a concentration on regenerative farming. The fun connection we discovered was that we both have roots in Minnesota - Scott grew up on a southern Minnesota farm from which he learned a strong work ethic as well as gained respect for the land and for the whims of Mother Nature. Scott, Lisa and their daughters, Abigail and Tallulah, live on the estate vineyard along with their dog Cici.

On today's show, when you think of Japanese cuisine, what beverage comes to mind? Maybe sake or a Japanese beer? What about an elegant Pinot Noir? Our guest today is out to prove that Pinot is the perfect complement to umami-rich Japanese dishes.Xander Soren has spent his career blending technical expertise with a passion for music and creative expression. He helped launch iTunes, the first iPods, and he co-created GarageBand, which opened the world of music production to creators everywhere, inspiring indie music makers around the world. Today Xander's focus is wine. His latest venture is Xander Soren Wines, a boutique wine label with wines that truly sing. Xander certainly brought the Apple design sensibility to his wines in the packaging and in the elegance of the Pinot Noir made with one of our favorite winemakers, Shalini Sekhar. We've never met a vintner or winemaker who counts top Japanese sushi masters as friends. Nor have I ever heard a reaction to a wine where a friend who I recently shared a bottle of Xander's Olivet Lane Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley say it slides into sushi and takes the place of soy sauce. We'll explore Xander's decidedly different approach to wine, which includes his personally curated playlist to help you get in the groove to enjoy wine.
Welcome back, wine friends! Today we're heading high into the Andes – literally – to explore one of the most breathtaking wine regions on Earth: the Calchaquí Valley in Salta, Argentina, home to Bodega Colomé, the oldest continuously operating winery in the country, with roots dating back to 1831. Joining us is Thibaut Delmotte, winemaker at Colomé, to talk about crafting wines at extreme altitudes – some vineyards reaching over 3,000 meters above sea level!

Hello wine friends, and welcome back! This week we dive into Part Two of my conversation with Ernst Loosen of Dr.Loosen. If Part One was all about Riesling royalty, this one is for the Pinot aficionados. While Ernie is globally known for his Riesling, he's also been quietly and passionately cultivating a deep connection with Pinot Noir from Germany's rolling hills of the Pfalz with Villa Wolf, to the expressive soils of Oregon's Willamette Valley at Appassionata Estate, and now into the sacred vineyards of Burgundy itself with Perron de Mypont. In this episode, Ernie shares why Pinot Noir captured his heart, the styles he's chasing, and what makes Pinot from the Pfalz, Oregon, and Burgundy so distinct. Stick around until the end, Ernie doesn't hold back when it comes to sharing his truth. If you want to skip ahead: 02.24: Origins of Villa Wolf – Established in 1996 to focus on Pinot varieties in Pfalz 03.30: Pinot varieties have centuries of tradition in the Rhine and Pfalz regions 04.30: Aged Pinot Noir and Riesling share similar aromas – “sous bois” character 05.00: Use of “Pinot Noir” vs. “Spätburgunder” depending on export market 07.00: Tasting and discussing the Villa Wolf Pinot Noir 2022 £12.95 Cheers Wine Merchants 11.30: Comparing German clones with French 14.00: Comparing the terroir Pfalz vs. Mosel 17.00: Why Pfalz is nicknamed “Tuscany of Germany” 20.00: Introducing Loosen's Oregon project: Appassionata Estate 22.00: Appassionata named after Beethoven's passionate composition 22.30: Wines aged longer before release, unlike typical U.S. practice 24.00: Volcanic soils require longer aging before release 26.30: Longest-aged wines come from basalt-rich plots 28.00: Ernst acquisition of the Vieux Château de Puligny-Montrachet in 2019 and it's history in Burgundy 30.32: The style of Pinot Noir that Ernst is crafting 32.30: Whole bunch fermentation vs destemming 34.43: Stem use in winemaking: positives and negatives 36.30: Ernst's oak philosophy with Pinot Noir 39.30: Ernst favors 2019 Burgundy vintage and 2014 in Oregon 41.30: Winemaking focus to avoid high alcohol styles 42.30: Ernst speaks his truth: Low yields in this current climate does not just mean a better wine 46.24: Where is the world Ernst would want to plant next 47.45: Most memorable Pinot: Domaine Armand Rousseau 1969 Chambertin 49.00: Ernst's advice for the next generation of winemakers Any thoughts or questions, do email me: janina@eatsleepwinerepeat.co.uk Or contact me on Instagram @eatsleep_winerepeat If you fancy watching some videos on my youtube channel: Eat Sleep Wine Repeat Or come say hi at www.eatsleepwinerepeat.co.uk Until next time, Cheers to you! ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- THE EAT SLEEP WINE REPEAT PODCAST HAS BEEN FEATURED IN DECANTER MAGAZINE, RADIO TIMES AND FEED SPOT AS THE 6TH BEST UK WINE MAKING PODCAST.
Send us a textSomething extraordinary has landed at Trader Joe's, and wine lovers should take immediate notice. The Co-Pilot Carneros Napa Pinot Noir 2023, adorned with its charming label featuring a dog in a World War II fighter pilot helmet, sells for a shocking $7.99—a price point that simply shouldn't be possible for a single-vineyard wine from this prestigious growing region.What makes this find so remarkable is the disconnect between its pedigree and price tag. Carneros wines typically command $30-50 or more, especially those aged in French oak barrels (which cost upwards of $1,000 each). Yet here's this delightful Pinot Noir with all these premium credentials selling for less than the cost of a fast-food meal. The explanation likely lies in the wine industry's current struggles—consumption down 10%, canceled contracts, and ongoing tariff complications—creating rare opportunities for astute bargain hunters.In the glass, this lightweight Pinot delivers surprising quality, showing good fruit expression, proper structure, and pleasing texture. Most impressively, it demonstrates qualities prized by French Burgundy producers: balanced acidity and excellent length. While not the most complex Pinot you'll ever experience, at this price point it's nothing short of remarkable. We recently reviewed its companion Co-Pilot Chardonnay from the same vineyard, also priced at $7.99, making these twins an unbeatable value proposition. Don't hesitate when you see these bottles—grab them while you can and enjoy a taste of premium Carneros terroir without the premium price tag!Check us out at www.cheapwinefinder.comor email us at podcast@cheapwinefinder.com
Steve, Ben, Yolanda and Olli. Ben Papapietro and his wife Yolanda join Steve Jaxon on California Wine Country. Dan Berger is away today, visiting the Anderson Valley Pinot Noir Festival, which we talked about on this episode two weeks ago. Ben is a co-founder of the Papapietr0-Perry winery. This is Ben and Yolanda's first time on CWC. Ben Papapietro started in his basement in San Francisco as a home winemaker. He had a friend, Bruce Perry, who worked with Ben in the delivery of the San Francisco Chronicle. They wanted to make Pinot but there was hardly any fruit at that time. Another friend, Burt Williams, also helped him get some Pinot fruit. But they made a lot of Cabernet Franc blends and Zinfandel. In 1990 he got a really good source of Pinot fruit. Then his partner talked him into opening a professional winery in 1997. Early in his winemaking career, Ben did some harvests with Burt Williams, the co-founder of Williams-Selyem, who was a mentor to Ben. He was one of the local winemakers who started producing Pinot Noir in Sonoma County. California Wine Country is brought to you by Rodney Strong Vineyards and Davis Bynum Wines. Goldridge Soil Again They are tasting a 2023 Pinot Noir, a vineyard designate from Peter's Vineyard. It is in the high southern hills with the famous Goldridge soil that makes the region famous. Melissa Galliani joins us in the studio today. Her t-shirt says “near perfect” and it has a story. Ben's partner made the t-shirt that reproduces the comments of wine reviewers who liked their wine. Bruce Perry was Ben's partner and very close friend. He passed away a couple of years ago. Papapietro-Perry is participating in the Healdsburg Wine and Food Experience this weekend. But he and his wife are taking 80 people on a cruise up the Douro River in Portugal. They have organized several other cruises with as many as 140 people with them. They visit a lot of wineries and taste a lot of wine. Ben grew up in the Mission district of San Francisco and visited Italy several times to see relatives on both sides of his family. The Papapietro-Perry Light & Bright Club Papapietro-Perry has a “Light and Bright” club, which is for Rosé and Chardonnay. On June 14th there is an event called “Wine, Cheese and Chocolate.” Even during Covid they did a once-a-week live show that kept people involved. And in July there is the Papapietro-Perry Lobster and Chardonnay Festival. Next they taste a Chardonnay which is a lighter style, fruit forward with a nice spicy finish that lingers. Ben also brought a Pinot Noir, made from the 777 clone grown in four different vineyards with different growing conditions.
What came first: wine or existence itself? The answer might surprise you. But after tackling such a huge subject in our intro Ferg & Lee head into the mysterious world of Low & No. What exactly are these beverages and who is drinking them. Importantly, why are they drinking them and does the quality measure up? We consider where these products sit now against where they were, and just where they might be going. Are you a Low & No drinker? What are your favourites? Following this we somehow veer off into the world of beer, faults, and just how much Lee's standup is actually worth. Alongside the revelation that Ferg has a new Pinot we then consider wines, regions, and countries that may not be considered 'mainstream' but are nonetheless gaining some consumer attention. Where should we be looking for 'the next big thing'? Finally we touch on the concept of natural and minimal intervention. Covering the whos the whys and thewhats Ferg & Lee look for some definitions and conclusions.

Send us a textDive into the world of Oregon Pinot Noir with our exploration of Elouane, the exciting new project from winemaking prodigy Joe Wagner. Following his massive success with Meiomi (which he sold for hundreds of millions), Wagner brings his considerable talents to coastal Oregon vineyards with remarkable results.The name "Elouane" combines two French words meaning "good light" – a perfect description for this luminous, beautifully crafted Pinot. Unlike wines that focus exclusively on Willamette Valley, this 2022 vintage sources grapes from southwestern, central, and northwestern coastal Oregon, creating a comprehensive taste of what the region has to offer.What truly sets this wine apart is its stylistic departure from Wagner's previous work. While Meiomi embodied the bold, jammy New World approach, Elouane embraces a more traditional Burgundian profile – elegant, nuanced, and wonderfully balanced. Black cherry and plum notes lead the flavor parade, accompanied by subtle hints of cola, licorice, black pepper, herbs, and spice. The bright acidity creates a mouthwatering experience that keeps you coming back for more.We were lucky enough to find this gem for just $12.99 (normally $22), making it an extraordinary value in today's market. This isn't your typical casual "patio pounder" – it's a thought-provoking wine that rewards attention while remaining wonderfully drinkable. Whether you're a dedicated Pinot enthusiast or just beginning to explore this noble grape variety, Elouane delivers a memorable experience that will have you wondering, "What was that delicious wine I had last week?"

He created and produced, ‘The Cork Dorks'. The show was hosted with Adam and his good friend Jeremy West. It was the first of its kind. It began focusing on central coast wineries but as the show grew, so did their ability to travel and meet other winemakers they found everywhere from Napa to Bordeaux that adopted that same Central Coast quality of people willing to share their wines, and their stories. As the area's producer's grew, soon Adam's interview's covered everything from spirits, craft beer, cider, cuisine, hospitality, and more. Fast forward to today, the spirit and enthusiasm cultivated with the award winning show, is reborn as The Pour with Adam Montiel, this time independently, and unfettered by corporate authority leaving it even more free to share the journey of making wine more approachable and fun for everyone.

In this episode, we sit down with TikTok's Queen of Cocktails and author of “How to Be a Better Drinker,” Hannah Chamberlain (@SpiritedLA ). She's revealing the secrets to crafting the perfect Martini (shaken vs. stirred, anyone?), how to know when to risk ordering that fancy cocktail, and which classic cocktails are making a comeback. Plus, we chat about her favorite glassware finds and why Aligote (from our wine club) might be the perfect base for your next creative concoction. Get ready to dive into the dazzling world of cocktails and explore the surprising ways they intertwine with our love of wine.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHThe episode kicks off with Alice asking Colton what he was doing. He's like, “I wasn't thinking straight. I ran off after the funeral.” She's like, “And you jumped in a pond?” He's like, “Who can say?” They go to check in on Vic, and he yells at Colton, telling him it should've been him who died.Elliot and Vic get into an argument. Vic says he refuses to let that ring go to a Landry, claiming, “The Landrys have always used us.” Elliot tells him, “It's my ring now, and it's my house now. Get lost.”Back in '74, Alice goes with Colton to Coyle's to join a group of folks remembering Rick. They see the hearse drive by, and Alice locks eyes with Vic.Kat and Elliot are making out in the shack when they discover some jazz music playing and a bottle of Pinot. Kat jokes, “She's a cab girl? What gives?!”That night at dinner, Del tells them all about Sam. Kat responds, “Well, while we're sharing big news, I'm moving in with Elliot.” Del is shocked and says, “You're doing what? You need to be here for your daughter.” They begin to argue, and everyone scurries off.Kat and Alice figure out that there's another book they should pour wine on. It reveals the rest of the message—a note from Colton to Evalyn that makes it sound like they were both time travelers.At the market, Alice talks to cute boy Noah. She helps him out in the food truck, and they flirt.Kat goes to the pond to try traveling back to '74 herself. When she gets out of the pond, she is greeted by a scary old woman. Apparently, it's Colton's grandma, Fern, and she's acting wild.Jacob and his childhood friend Danny finally catch up. Danny admits he's always blamed himself. Jacob reassures him, saying he didn't push him into the water and that nothing is his fault.Alice shows Del the books, and Del says she's not surprised to see this but insists that if Colton had traveled through the pond, he would have told her.Fern tells Kat, “It's nice to see someone using the pond again.” When Kat asks if Colton used it, Fern cryptically responds, “If you want the right answers, you need to ask the right questions.”As Kat heads back to the pond, she sees Colton talking to Evalyn and overhears them discussing the pond. He's about to tell her something big when they hear a noise.Kat returns to the present, where Del warns her to leave the past alone. Kat scoffs, “As if.”She then gets a call and has to rescue Jacob, who is too drunk to get home.Meanwhile, Elliot discovers that his dad did indeed steal the ring back, even though he had just promised Elliot he wouldn't.Alice and cute boy Noah share a kiss.Finally, Kat and Alice go to the archives to search for answers. They discover a flyer from 1965 about voting to fill in the Landry pond.
