When Laurie Madigan's husband Jim walked into the hospital, she never imagined it would be the last time she'd see him alive.

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!

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.

Some years later Lucy studied viticulture in Hawke's Bay and after working in hospitality and retail for many years took the leap of faith and passion and acquired our vineyard. Their first vintage was in 2015 launching Ruru wines under the umbrella company – Immigrant's Vineyard The wine: Made with 100% Pinot Noir fruit this is a very attractive methode traditionelle with a bold leesy autolysis quality with aromas and flavours of fresh oatmeal and apple, fresh grapefruit and white peach. A crunchy texture with plenty of acidity and youthful mouthfeel framing pomaceous and citrus fruits. Nice weight and length, a wine to enjoy through the warmer weeks of summer and very food friendly. Well tinkered with best drinking from day of purchase through 2028+. The Food: The default for many with a dry sparkling wine is Mussels or Oysters, salty in food brings out the fruit flavours in wine. Salo, salt lowers the tasters perceptions of acidity. There's a great coffee table book called Champagne and Chandeliers (Publisher : Hardie Grant) , a page turner with some fantastic menus and matches.

Marie-Helen Krebs prägt seit Jahrzehnten die Weinbranche wie kaum jemand sonst. Ihr Name steht für Beständigkeit, Wissen und Stil. Sie ist Vorbild, Maßstab, eine Institution. Wer Marie-Helen Krebs begegnet, spürt eine seltene Mischung aus Ruhe und Präsenz – eine, die führt, ohne zu drängen, und überzeugt, ohne zu belehren. Wein ist für sie kein Prestigeobjekt, sondern ein lebendiges Gespräch zwischen Natur, Menschen und Moment. Sie versteht die Flasche als Erzählerin – und sie selbst ist die Stimme, die dieser Erzählung Tiefe gibt. Als Sommelière des Jahres wurde Marie-Helen Krebs bereits früh ausgezeichnet. Schnell merkt man, auch in ihrer Episode: Auszeichnungen sind für sie eine Bestätigung, nicht das Ziel. Marie-Helen Krebs ist keine Legende, weil sie lange dabei ist. Sie ist eine Legende, weil sie über all die Jahre authentisch geblieben ist. Und bei aller Erfahrung ist sie nie abgehoben. Ihr Antrieb war immer die Leidenschaft für den Wein. In ihrer Arbeit verbindet sie analytische Präzision mit emotionaler Intuition – eine seltene Kombination, die man nicht lernen kann, sondern nur leben. Ihre Handschrift erkennt man sofort. Sie denkt in Jahrgängen, nicht in Vorgaben. Und sie hat die Gabe, komplexe Dinge einfach zu machen – nicht, weil sie sie vereinfacht, sondern weil sie sie wirklich versteht. Trotz ihrer Erfahrung ist Marie-Helen Krebs alles andere als nostalgisch. Sie bleibt neugierig, offen, wach. Tradition ist für sie kein Zustand, sondern ein Prozess. So ist sie über die Jahre immer dieselbe geblieben – und gleichzeitig nie stehen geblieben.

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.
Stop and put your hands in the air! This is an all too familiar phrase that Christopher Key, founder of Vaccine Police has endured over the last several years. Arrested multiple times, he's a tireless warrior and advocate for medical freedom and refused to back down to any institution or law-enforcement when his personal rights were violated.

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.

ME by Matahiwi Pinot Noir 2024, Wairarapa RRP from $21.00 This is a complete wine from nose to palate with a generous core of red berry fruits flavours, a decent structure with fine tannins that are easy to dissolve on the palate, and a fresh line of acidity both framing the fruit core. Crunchy, fresh, fruity, varietal and loaded with flavours of cherry and fruit spice. Low oak, tautness from youthful, polished tannins and BB of acidity. Food: I think best enjoyed with a range of aperitif foods like arancini with a little kalamata olive inside. This is also very good with prawn ravioli dressed with a crayfish bisque sauce and cherry tomato. Or a simple Cacio Pepe spaghetti dressed with parmesan cheese and olive oil. The Vintage: In the Wairarapa: Rather excellent with a very good flowering and fruit set. Careful vineyard management led to a great harvest and subsequent winemaking meant the measure of winemaker inputs like wood were very judicious and alongside the level of tannins, acidity and fruit make for a love wine to look out for.

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

Corruption runs deep within the nefarious medical industrial complex. Grace Schara unfortunately was killed while in the hands of hospital overlords. Nearly four long years after this tragic event, the Schara family's wrongful-death lawsuit and three week jury trial was held to get justice for Grace. Anybody in their right mind who watched the trial couldn't help but believe justice would prevail and there would be a favorable outcome for the plaintiffs. Knowing how unjust and corrupt America's legal system is, the outcome was far from favorable. Our biggest question is, "Who got to the jury?" There's no way big medicine, corporate greed, and compromised courts could allow a victory because it would've imploded the medical establishment. Grace's father Scott explains the final verdict of when big money and a sleeping jury merge.Follow Scott at: https://ouramazinggrace.netYou can take advantage of one of the best holistic health conferences anywhere and enter Discount Promo Code – GRIT for 30% off all My EHI Aloha courses and Healing for the A.G.E.S. events and replays by visitinghttps://myehialoha.org/#GRIT--------------------------Check out all of our vendors at: https://patriotswithgrit.com/patriot-partners/ SPONSORS FOR THIS VIDEO❤️ Cardio Miracle – One Drink.

This week on Wine Crush Podcast, we're spotlighting two very different yet equally captivating Oregon wine stories—Appassionata and Dagger Daisy Wine.Founded with a reverence for patience and craftsmanship, Appassionata is dedicated to the art of aging Pinot Noir and Riesling. With their stunning estate vineyard and elegant tasting room, they embody old-world sophistication rooted in Oregon soil—crafting wines meant to evolve, surprise, and delight over time.In contrast, Dagger Daisy bursts onto the scene with fresh energy and unbridled passion. Their focus is on creating vibrant, approachable, and eminently drinkable wines that capture the joy of sharing a bottle with friends. Bold, lively, and full of heart, they're quickly making their mark on the Willamette Valley.In this episode, we explore the stories, philosophies, and winemaking journeys behind both brands—one steeped in tradition and patience, the other thriving on innovation and energy. Together, they showcase the incredible range of Oregon's wine community.
The wines of the Monterey Peninsula, and particularly those of the Carmel Valley, are exquisite. It is always just so interesting to have the some grape grown in different parts of the world and be so different...soely on the location and environmental influences of the vineyard. When tasting Bernardus wines, you taste complexities entirely different than anywhere else in California. These wines are something special and Jim McCabe is responsible. I also had to alert him to the famed folk guitar store, McCabes in Santa Monica. You might say Jim McCabe's side hustle—building guitars—makes him a craftsman twice over, but it's his day job as winemaker at Bernardus Winery that will have you tuning your curiosity to new frequencies. In this episode of Wine Talks, I invites you to uncork not just bottles, but the entire lived experience of crafting wine in California's stunning Carmel Valley. You'll learn why great wine isn't just about the grapes, but the ebb and flow of history, land, and a willingness to embrace both tradition and careful, gradual innovation. Jim doesn't just talk barrel aging or fermentation science; he brings you to the heart of winemaking's enduring mysteries—the art of blending picks from different harvest moments, the challenge of warding off smoke taint during wildfire years, and the ever-changing dance with nature that means no two vintages are ever the same. What does it take to draw younger generations to honest wine when technology and taste are shifting faster than vines grow? Jim and I candidly dissect the battle between old-school storytelling and the rise of social influencers, while reflecting on the timelessness of grassroots, word-of-mouth enthusiasm. Along the way, you'll pick up on the slow, patient work behind the scenes—why relationships with grape growers matter, why incremental rather than drastic change is key, and how history and tradition shape every bottle. By the end of the conversation, you'll come away with more than the technical notes of Bernardus' famed Pinots and Chardonnays; you'll understand the emotional charge that a simple sniff of a great wine can trigger, and why, whether you're a seasoned sommelier or new to the wine world, this is a craft that always keeps you guessing, learning, and savoring just one more glass.
