Gold medal at SF World Spirits Competition Strange Collab features Neil Giraldo, shredding away next to his friend and bandmate, Rick Derringer. This one is the only Pinot Noir finished bourbon on the market today. It started as a one-off collaboration for charity and has since won awards and received 90+ point scores. The back label features Johnny Strange, an adventurer with close ties to Neil, who died far too young.

This week, the crew finally sits down with Jamie Kutch of Kutch Wines—a long-awaited guest whose Pinot Noir reputation precedes him. Jamie has shared a production facility with host Bart Hansen for years, so the team already knew his wines were special. What began as a career on NASDAQ trading floors turned into a lifelong pursuit of crafting world-class Pinot Noir, thanks to a pivotal invitation to work harvest at Kosta Browne—and he never looked back. Today, Jamie makes just 3,000 cases a year, with his wines featured in top restaurants around the world. Recently, he purchased land in Sebastopol, once an apple orchard, now transformed into a Pinot vineyard rooted in Goldridge soils—helped along by a local badger serving as natural pest control. A friend of luminaries like Rajat Parr and Ted Lemon, Jamie shares their commitment to balance, integrity, and a deep respect for terroir. It's an inspiring conversation with one of California's most thoughtful Pinot producers. [Ep 390] kutchwines.com @jamiekutch

Welcome to Wine Road, hosted by Marcy Gordon and Beth Costa. Thanks to Ron Rubin and River Road Family Vineyards for supporting the podcast. Check out RiverRoadVineyards.com for their Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. (0:49 - 1:37) Episode 239 features Jacob Mounts, Winery and Vineyard Manager at Mounts Family Winery. Jacob, 25, represents the new generation of winemakers. His mother suggested he join the show to share insights from a younger perspective. (1:38 - 2:48) Jacob introduces the 2022 Italian Affair, a blend of Barbera and Teroldego. The unique combination offers juiciness and balance. The name stems from his father's decision to plant Italian varietals, which his mother jokingly called "cheating" on their Rhone roots. (2:49 - 5:25) Mounts Family Winery grows 35 varietals, including Rhone, Italian, Spanish, and Bordeaux grapes. Jacob explains the importance of experimenting with heat-tolerant varietals like Tempranillo and Touriga Nacional to adapt to climate change and appeal to younger wine drinkers. (5:26 - 7:08) Jacob emphasizes the importance of balance in winemaking, crediting his father's skill. He shares his passion for structured wines and his desire to expand the winery's production. (7:09 - 9:14) Jacob reflects on leaving the wine industry at 18 to explore other careers, including mechanics and commercial fishing in Alaska. His time away gave him a renewed appreciation for winemaking and the natural beauty of vineyards. (9:15 - 12:21) Jacob discusses the challenges of engaging younger wine drinkers, citing high tasting fees and lack of approachability. He advocates for making wine fun and accessible, encouraging people to enjoy it however they like. (12:22 - 14:45) The conversation shifts to the importance of storytelling in wine. Jacob believes sharing the history and personal stories behind a bottle creates a deeper connection for consumers, especially younger generations. (14:46 - 18:07) Jacob shares how introducing wine to friends in Alaska sparked their interest. He highlights the role of peer influence in making wine more appealing to younger audiences. (18:08 - 21:06) Jacob talks about his family's Rhone roots and their Viognier, which expresses stone fruit and honeysuckle notes. He also praises Grenache and Cab Franc as standout varietals in their portfolio. (21:07 - 24:00) Mounts Family Winery is open for tastings by appointment during the week and walk-ins on weekends. Jacob and his mother personally host tastings, offering a welcoming and intimate experience. (24:01 - 28:07) Jacob shares his passion for brandy and distilled spirits, mentioning his first barrel of brandy aging for 10 years. He enjoys exploring local artisanal producers and learning from their craft. (28:08 - 33:32) The hosts praise the winery's scenic location and encourage listeners to visit. Jacob highlights their new label designs, which represent their evolving portfolio. (33:33 - 37:53) The discussion touches on the beauty of Sonoma County year-round and the importance of slowing down to enjoy the scenery. Jacob expresses gratitude for being part of the wine community. (37:54 - 42:07) Beth promotes upcoming Wine Road events, including Winter Wineland and the Holiday Wine Trail, which supports the Redwood Empire Food Bank. She encourages listeners to explore the auction on wineroad.com. (42:08 - 44:32) Jacob thanks the hosts for the opportunity to share his story. The hosts commend his passion and authenticity, encouraging him to continue inspiring younger generations.   Links: River Road Family Vineyards & Winery Mounts Family Winery Winter Wineland Holiday Wine Trail + Market Redwood Empire Food Bank

The Podcast is heading to Tasmania!  I could go on about how this Australian island is the source of so much excellent Pinot Noir and Sparkling wine but I'll let my guest, winemaker Jonny Hughes do the talking. Jonny and his brother Matthew started Mewstone Wines and hughes & hughes back in 2011. What started as a passion project and an old cherry orchard turned into one of the top Tasmania wineries.

Text us your wine questions, craziest wine experiences, or if you just have a comment for us. . Alison Moyes loves Pinot Noir and it's clear that it's mutual. Working with this grape for the past 15 years, she has met the challenges of the most finicky of grapes variety in three different wineries in three different sub-regions with apparent ease. She's curious, thoughtful, and well-spoken, all of which you will hear in this candid conversation that took place near the end of her 5th vintage with Solvero Wines. Turns out we had a lot in common, growing up in central Canada, going to university on the east coast, and then coming to BC. It was fun to finally be able to sit down and chat with her about wine, the university, and everything. Disclaimer: When I have winemakers on this podcast, it tends to get a little geeky. We don't really stop to explain some of the more technical things that we talk about but please search for anything that you don't understand.

Chaque trimestre, je vous donne désormais rendez-vous avec une figure du monde du vin. Pour ouvrir le bal, j'ai le plaisir de recevoir Véronique Boss Drouhin. Arrière-petite-fille de Joseph Drouhin, elle incarne la quatrième génération à la tête d'une maison qui fait rayonner le vignoble bourguignon depuis plus de 140 ans.Tout commence en 1880, à Beaune, lorsque Joseph Drouhin, jeune homme de 23 ans, abandonne sa librairie pour se lancer dans le négoce de vins. Son fils Maurice prend la relève en 1918 et ouvre une nouvelle page de l'histoire familiale. Trois ans plus tard, il acquiert la première parcelle de la maison : le mythique « Clos des Mouches », qui deviendra l'un des emblèmes du domaine.Dans cette première partie d'entretien, nous revisitons l'histoire familiale à travers quelques cuvées phares de la Maison.A écouter

This wine, friends, is the epitome of why we started our podcast in the first place - to help you find great wines at reasonable prices that you have just not learned about yet.  Spätburgunder is the Pinot Noir you didn't know you were looking for - in fact, it's probably the Pinot Noir you've never heard of. Part of it is because the supply and demand are well balanced within Germany itself, and part of it is because, well, frankly we don't know why else. Because this is a wonderful, high QPR (quality to price ratio) Pinot Noir that has flown under the radar for far too long. And it's time to change that. Did you know that Germany is the third largest producer of Pinot Noir in the world?!? Yeah, we bet you didn't know that either. And yet, if you want to find a wow your friends, great quality, reasonably priced Pinot Noir, you really need to get to know Spätburgunder. Listen in and we'll tell you more, and we also have a fun listener interview and a wine in the news this week segment on a Champagne fraudster!

Elaine, the owner of Elaine Wines is our guest today on California Wine Country with Dan Berger and Daedalus Howell. She started her winery after a career as an biotech intellectual property attorney. Dan Berger discovered these wines just by tasting them at an event. He was excited to find a Chardonnay that was not overdone and that smelled and tasted like Chardonnay. It is an older style of making Chardonnay that appeals to people like Dan who remember when that style was prevalent. Elaine Wines is a small winery but has already earned a bunch of awards. This first one for tasting is the 2023 Chardonnay, the youngest one that Elaine brought. All of the Chardonnays are made with fruit from her vineyard. She has three acres with one acre of Chard and two of Pinot Noir. Dan detects a little bit of dried pineapple character and the oak is very subtle. The vineyard is at high elevation and Dan says the wine matches the smell of the vineyard. There are fir trees and oaks nearby which influence the vineyard. Dan also appreciates the good acidity. The vines are 25 feet from their house. Before Elaine moved to California, she was a biotech patent attorney, with a background in molecular and micro-biology. She got an online certificate in winemaking from UC Davis, before she moved from North Carolina. Elaine found a custom crush where she was not obligated to meet a tonnage minimum, which allowed her to start making wine with a small production. She found a community of helpful people in California, who work in wine. That is uniform throughout most wine regions in the world, says Dan Berger. Dan says that Prohibition may have ended in 1933 but it was the 1960s before winemaking woke up in the US, in California mostly. Chardonnays The second Chardonnay they taste came from the same grapes, but the first had newer barrels and the 2022 was made in one single barrel that had been used once before. That is generally considered 50% new. She only made 23 cases of this, because they had a very low yield and she had promised some grapes to another winemaker. This wine won a Double Gold at the San Francisco Chronicle wine tasting. Dan says that the problem with a lot of Chardonnay today is that it has to be big and rich. This is the other side of the spectrum of types of Chard. A lot of people making Chardonnay are trying to make a wine that they think will sell. Elaine, on the other hand, came into this without that notion at all. She just lets the vineyard do what it can do, and then handle it in a way to bring that out. Don't serve it too cold, because the flavors won't come out. What's more, this wine is a 2022 and it has had enough time to reach full maturity. She likes to do "as little as I can" and treat it gently. Pinot Noir The next tasting is a Pinot Noir that earned 99 points and a Double Gold from the American Fine Wine Competition, and Gold Medals all over the place. Dan says that the judges like it when the dominant flavor is fruit not oak. Dan describes the flavor of beets that is hiding in the wine.

Manche Menschen sprechen über Wein, als wollten sie ihn erklären. Evangelos Pattas spricht, als würde er ihn erinnern. Er ruft ihn herauf – aus dem Glas, aus dem Jahr, aus einem stillen Ort im Inneren, an dem Geschmack zu Bedeutung wird. Wenn er ein Glas in die Hand nimmt, scheint er die Zeit darin zu sehen. Was für andere eine Flüssigkeit ist, ist für ihn ein Gedächtnis. Und das mit einer unfassbaren Akribie. Ja, selbst nach fast vierzig Dienstjahren schreibt er diszipliniert seine Weinnotizen mit. Und in seinen Beschreibungen formt er keine Definitionen, er legt Atmosphären frei. Klingt erfunden? Nein, denn genauso hört man das in seiner Episode. Ein Schluck kann bei ihm nach dem ersten Frost schmecken, nach dem Schatten eines Waldes, nach der Farbe eines Holzstuhls im Spätsommer. Man hört ihm zu und versteht, dass Wein nicht über Worte vermittelt wird, sondern über Bilder, die sich im Kopf festsetzen wie ein Geruch in einem Kleidungsstück. Er erzählt nicht, er erinnert. Und genau darin liegt sein Zauber. Im Stuttgarter Délice war Evangelos Pattas jahrzehntelang der ruhende Punkt im Raum – Gastgeber, Sommelier, Übersetzer zwischen Küche und Glas. Ein Mann, der Weine nicht auswählte, sondern sie in einen Dialog brachte. Zwischen Koch und Gast, zwischen Duft und Textur, zwischen Erwartung und Erfahrung. Er wusste, dass eine Weinbegleitung nicht aus Paarungen besteht, sondern aus Übergängen. Er dachte in Atemzügen, nicht in Gängen. Jedes Glas war Teil einer Komposition, deren Melodie sich nur erschloss, wenn man ihr vertraute. Evangelos ist kein Mann der Worte und doch einer, der Sätze hinterlässt. In den Köpfen der Menschen, die er begleitet hat – Köche, Sommeliers, Gäste, Schüler. Er hat Generationen geprägt, ohne ein Manifest zu schreiben, einfach durch Tun. Durch die leise Konsequenz, mit der er Wein immer als Beziehung verstanden hat. Zwischen Mensch und Pflanze, zwischen Handwerk und Idee. Er hat gezeigt, dass Sommelierkunst nichts mit Inszenierung zu tun hat, sondern mit Empathie. Evangelos Pattas hat sein Leben dieser Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet. Er hat aus dem Verkosten ein Denken gemacht, aus dem Denken eine Kunst und aus dieser Kunst eine Einstellung. Eine Überzeugung, die sich weigert, Wein zu trivialisieren. Er bleibt ein Sommelier, der nichts verkaufen muss, weil er alles vermittelt: Zeit, Ruhe, Herkunft, Seele. Und wenn man ihm zuhört, begreift man, dass Wein nie das Ziel war – sondern immer das Medium, durch das ein Mensch erzählen kann, wie er die Welt sieht.

Champagne must be made in the traditional method.A blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. The wine comes from the grand cru village of Verzenay in the Champagne region of France.Tonight, we are tasting:NV Kirkland Signature Brut Champagne. It is a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier grapes. The grapes come from the grand cru village of Verzenay. Matures in the bottle for 15 months. It is made by wine maker Manuel Janisson who doesn't really market his wines in the US, but his least expensive wines range from $40 to $50 per bottle. The wine has a rich texture and has notes of gingerbread, orange, peaches, and citrus. The Reverse Wine Snob reports aromas of lime, lemon, apple, and a bit of freshly baked bread and some floral. Flavors of creamy yet crisp lemon zest, lime, and green apple. Also has some minerality. Pairs with salty foods, white meat, and sweet potatoes. We both loved this wine and rated it a 4. Sparkling wine is not our go to wine, but we will buy this again. If you haven't tried it, put it on your list. Next week, we are trying a wine that is new to us. It is a German Riesling Kabinett. We will find out what that means and see if this will be our Thanksgiving wine.

Send us a textA $7.99 French Pinot Noir that's organic, carbon neutral, and made by a B-Corp shouldn't be this easy to drink—and yet here we are. We pull the cork on Florility French Organic Pinot Noir 2024 from Aldi and get honest about what's in the glass, what's on the label, and what really matters for a weeknight pour. The twist? It's labeled “Product of France,” not from a famous region, sparking a candid look at terroir, consistency, and how modern drinkers balance place with principles.We walk through the story behind Ethic Drinks—B-Corp certification, organic farming, vegan-friendly fining, and cause-driven lines that plant trees and help clean the oceans—then put the wine to the taste test. Expect a smooth, approachable Pinot with black cherry, plum, a touch of spice, and those savory pencil-lead and tar hints that give Pinot its quiet edge. It won't morph from sip to sip like a top cru, but it delivers friendly texture and steady flavor that make sense for pizza night, roast chicken, or backyard hangs. If you're chasing a site-specific, shape-shifting Burgundy experience, this isn't your bottle; if you want honest, ethical, and affordable, it hits the brief.Along the way, we unpack vegan fining in simple terms, talk about why multi-region French labeling is rare, and lay out where this wine shines and where it doesn't. The bigger takeaway: you can support responsible producers without sacrificing everyday joy, and sometimes the best bottle is the one that fits the moment, the budget, and your values. If that sounds like your kind of pour, queue it up, grab a glass, and tell us where you land on the terroir-versus-values question.If you enjoy these tastings and unfiltered reviews, tap follow, share with a friend who loves wine on a budget, and leave a quick rating—your support helps us keep it cheap and keep it coming.Check us out at www.cheapwinefinder.comor email us at podcast@cheapwinefinder.com

Cambria is a women-owned, women-led producer of 100% certified sustainable, estate-grown Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in the Santa Maria Valley AVA in Santa Barbara County, California.Founder Barbara Banke was an early champion of the region and established Cambria Winery in 1986. Barbara's two daughters are co-proprietors of the winery and the namesakes for the two main vineyards, Julia's Vineyard and Katherine's Vineyard. A winemaker's paradise, the estate is situated on a West Coast transverse valley a rare geological feature that funnels in Pacific Ocean breezes and blankets the vines in maritime fog, creating one of California's longest growing seasons. The ocean influences the soils as well, with seashells and fossils lending a signature Santa Maria spice note to the Pinot Noirs. Winemaker Jill Russell believes that “happy people make great wine” and passionately crafts wines that show the best of the estate and are prized for their texture, harmony, and energy. Jill leads vineyard and cellar crews who have worked at Cambria on average for more than 20 years and whose drive for excellence earned Cambria the title of a Top 100 Winery of 2020 from Wine & Spirits.

In this fascinating and earthy episode of Eat Sleep Wine Repeat, Janina welcomes one of the world's leading voices in soil and terroir — Pedro Parra, affectionately known as Dr. Terroir or Pedro Pits. A soil scientist, consultant, and winemaker, Pedro has studied over 50,000 soil pits across the globe and holds a PhD in terroir. His work has redefined how we understand vineyard mapping, root behavior, and the intimate connection between geology and the taste of wine. Together, Janina and Pedro dig deep — quite literally — into the role of soil, minerality, and terroir expression in winemaking. From limestone and granite to volcanic ash and clay, Pedro explains which grapes grow best in each soil type. They also explore Itata, Chile, one of South America's oldest and most under-the-radar regions, and discuss Pedro's beautiful 90-year-old-vine Cinsault, a wine that captures the soul of granite and the spirit of Burgundy. Expect scientific insight, poetic reflection, and a whole lot of passion for what lies beneath our vines. Shownotes   [00:32] – Meet Dr. Terroir: Pedro Parra, the man behind 50,000 soil pits and a global reputation for understanding what lies beneath our vineyards. [04:15] – What terroir truly means: why the connection between soil, roots, and weather defines a wine's identity. [04:24] – What many winemakers misunderstand when they focus on the cellar instead of the vineyard. [11:31] – The perfect soil for Pinot Noir: how limestone delivers elegance, acidity, and finesse. [11:44] – Granite explained: why it produces wines with brightness, tension, and linearity. [14:22] – The best grape for granite soils? Pedro's surprising answer — and the region that redefines Grenache. [16:32] – The truth about clay: good vs. bad clay, and why it can either nourish or suffocate the vine. [22:39] – What makes schist so complex and unpredictable in the vineyard. [23:48] – The grape varieties that thrive on schist — from the Douro to Côte-Rôtie. [24:57] – Volcanic soils: beauty, danger, and why only 10 % of volcanic terroirs produce great wine. [28:46] – Pedro's most moving wine experiences and what he looks for in true terroir transparency. [31:12] – How he fell in love with Itata, Chile — a forgotten land of old bush vines and soulful energy. [39:01] – What makes his 90-year-old-vine Trance Cinsault 2022 (£40 Hic Wine Merchants)  so unique: granite soils, freshness, and natural elegance. [40:59] – “Being so good but the wines were so bad”: Pedro's candid story of unlearning Burgundy winemaking. [43:46] – From concentration to “illusion”: discovering balance through gentle, cool fermentations. [45:15] – Whole-cluster fermentation — when it works, when it doesn't, and why humidity is the key. [47:37] – Oak, concrete, and steel: how the choice of vessel completely changes a wine's texture. [50:47] – Too many beautiful labels, not enough good wine — Pedro on the crisis of modern winemaking. [51:48] – The one wine that most moved Pedro — and his final thoughts on terroir and emotion.

Nicola Pellacani of Saintsbury Winery joins Dan Berger and Daedalus Howell on California Wine Country today. Dan Berger explains that Saintsbury has been around for about 40 years with a record of getting better and better all the time and Nico will tell us their story. Saintsbury used to be focussed on Carneros and now have shifted toward Sonoma Coast. Nico has brought their Sonoma Coast Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, made from their favorite vineyards. They start with the 2023 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay. Most of it comes from a San Giacomo family vineyard. Dan Berger describes the cool climate influence with a bit of the complexity of Chablis and a light acidity. Saintsbury has been using this vineyard for a long time. Some of the planting was even done for Saintsbury. Where the senses and the mind come together The process of building a blend involves three or four passes. Nicola describes blending as a process where "...senses and mind come together. You have to allow yourself to reach that point." Nicola started at Saintsbury as an intern in 2018. He worked on his first harvest that year, while was still a student in viticulture and enology at the University of Bologna in Italy. He is now the assistant winemaker A family winery with a family atmosphere Nico grew up in Italy and wine is on the table all the time. Dan Berger is eager to learn from the younger people in the world of wine. People's palettes have evolved and this continues, just as weather patterns have changed. Nico mentions two mentors at Saintsbury, they are Tim Colla, the head winemaker at Saintsbury, and Jaime, their cellar master who has been there for 20 years. They have lots of conversations and taste lots of blends. They have family style lunch every Friday at Saintsbury. Having come from Italy, Nico is grateful to have a family feeling at Saintsbury. Dan Berger describes the house style of Saintsbury, which has remained consistent for 40 years. Next they taste a pétillant-naturel, which is abbreviated to pét-nat.  It has very small and light bubbles and Dan declares it is delightful. They only made about 150 cases of it. Saintsbury has an event scheduled for November 1, 2025, at the Napa winery at 1500 Los Carneros Ave. It is a celebration of past and present winemakers. It is structured as a market, with local artisans.

From The Wine Conversation with Sarah Kemp (wine-conversation.com): In our latest 10-Minute Masterclass (actually 12 minutes this month, as there was just too much great information to leave out), Jasper Morris MW, author of “Inside Burgundy,” looks at Making White Burgundy. There are conferences about Pinot Noir, he notes, but White Burgundy isn't talked about enough.Jasper begins by looking at the main grapes, Chardonnay and Aligoté, and relates how Aligoté used to struggle to ripen, but not any more, as he moves on to the ways producers are modifying viticulture to respond to climate change.Picking dates are really vital, he explains: “You can test your grapes one day and discover they are 11.5% alc and say that will be alright for a week, but you come back five days later and they've shot up to 14% alc already – so you've really got to pay a lot of attention.”Most people press whole bunches, but Jasper favours the method where the grapes are crushed before they press them: “The advantage of that is that you get the juice mixing in with the skin more than if you don't crush them,” he says. “I'm convinced that Chardonay is not the ballerina grape that Pinot Noir is. I think it is out there on the rugby field getting deep down and dirty, and you ought to make the wine in that way”.Jasper then examines the role of fermentation vessels, and reveals that many producers are now tending to use larger barrels so there is less wood effect. Producers used not to worry too much about the time and temperature of the fermentation, but today many are looking for shorter fermentations, as long fermentations were thought to be one of the reasons there was premature oxidation in the wines.When to bottle and which closure to use? Classic White Burgundy needs longer in barrel, Jasper states, and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of different closures. He concludes by lamenting that wines are now made to be drunk younger, and advises, “If you have a chance, do drink a 25-35-year-old, even a 50-year-old White Burgundy. Properly stored, it's so magical.”You can also find Jasper's guest appearances on other Podcast/Video channels we work closely with: The Wine Conversation 67 Pall Mall TV Bringing Burgundy closer to you with every episode!Subscribe to my website and get full access to my scores, tasting notes, detailed write-ups on producers and much more:https://www.insideburgundy.com/register/See all our events at: https://www.insideburgundy.com/all-events/Daily updates on our Instagram: @jaspermorris.insideburgundy
