Podcasts about Riesling

Hay vinos que de día se catan y de noche se recuerdan. Hoy apagamos las luces del estudio y dejamos que la noche haga lo suyo. Empezamos en Los Ángeles, la madrugada en que tuvo que apagarse una ciudad entera para que miles de personas descubrieran lo que siempre había estado encima de sus cabezas. Y acabamos con una copa que todavía recuerdo años después. Entre medias: viñedos que no duermen, vendimias a las tres de la mañana, heladas, ladrones, Sherezade, un japonés haciendo un Riesling alsaciano en Borgoña y el vino blanco que me hizo pensar: «Ya está. Creo que este es el mejor que he bebido en mi vida». **NOCHES DE LUNA LLENA** • **00:11** — ¿Qué apareció sobre Los Ángeles cuando una ciudad entera se quedó a oscuras? • **06:44** — ¿Catamos igual un vino de día que de noche? • **13:12** — ¿Qué tienen que ver Sherezade, Las mil y una noches y un Nero d'Avola? • **18:37** — ¿Por qué coño hay gente vendimiando a las tres de la madrugada? • **20:19** — ¿Cómo se salva un viñedo de una helada en mitad de la noche? • **23:45** — ¿Qué puede pasar en un viñedo cuando todo el mundo duerme? • **27:47** — ¿Quién es Kei Shiogai y por qué sus vinos han acabado convirtiéndose en objetos de culto? • **31:24** — ¿Cómo acaba un Riesling de Alsacia vinificado en Borgoña? • **37:38** — La noche en que probé el mejor vino blanco de mi vida. ¿Cuál era? • **41:58** — Se acabaron las pistas. Sale el nombre. • **43:57** — Llamamos a mi abuelo. Probablemente no era necesario. Precisamente por eso había que hacerlo. • **52:45** — ¿Por qué la radio de noche nunca ha sonado igual? Sírvete una copa. Apaga alguna luz. Y escucha esto de noche, si puedes. **Vino para Camaleones** El mundo del vino BAJO EN TONTERÍAS. **vinoparacamaleones.com**

Es ist ein seltener Moment: Ein junger Weinverrückter steht genau an dem Punkt, an dem sich das Sprungbrett spannt, um ihn in die Weinwelt zu schleudern. Linh Nguyen klopft nicht vorsichtig an ihre Tür und wartet, bis jemand öffnet. Bei ihm entscheidet die Tür selbst, keine Tür mehr sein zu wollen. Wo andere einen Karriereweg sahen, sah er eine Startbahn – von null auf hundert. Denn hundert war für ihn nie das Ende, sondern der Beginn der nächsten Skala. Aus dem kaum bekannten Sommelier-Youngster wurde 2024 der Sommelier im Jellyfish, einem der angesagtesten Sternelokale Hamburgs – einem Restaurant, in dem Essen und Trinken längst mehr sind als Nahrungsaufnahme: Genuss, Erlebnis, Gefühl und die Kunst, Menschen für einen Moment aus dem Alltag zu holen. Seine Mischung aus Instinkt, Ehrgeiz, Neugier und der Bereitschaft, ins Unbekannte zu springen, trieb diesen Aufstieg an. Linh hat verstanden: Wein ist mehr als eine Flasche mit gutem Namen. Wein ist Landschaft, Handwerk, Tradition, Persönlichkeit. Hinter jeder Flasche steht ein Winzer mit einer Geschichte, ein Stück Erde, eine Idee. Genau darin liegt seine Faszination: Wein verbindet Menschen, Reisen, Lifestyle, Genuss – manchmal auch Business und Freundschaft. Die Weinwelt ist längst modern, international, in Bewegung. Man reist zu Winzern, entdeckt Regionen, erlebt, wie aus Reben, Boden und Zeit etwas entsteht, das Menschen wieder an einen Tisch bringt. Für Linh ist Wein eine Sprache – eine, die Geschichten erzählt und Gefühle weckt. Eine Sprache aus Genuss, Wissen, Leidenschaft und manchmal auch Geld. Denn eine teure Flasche kann bedeutungslos bleiben, wenn das Herz fehlt. Ihr wahrer Wert entsteht erst, wenn sie einen Moment besonders macht. Darum geht es am Ende: um das Gefühl. Linh Nguyen hat früh begriffen, was viele erst spät verstehen: Aufstieg ist nicht nur Talent, sondern Mut – im richtigen Moment so zu handeln, als wäre man bereits dort, wo man erst hinwill. Er lebte seinem künftigen Ich entgegen, während die Welt noch seine Gegenwart prüfte. Wir sind gespannt, was aus ihm wird: vielleicht zu großen Winzern, in spannende Weinregionen, an bedeutende Restauranttische. Vielleicht wird aus dem Sommelier ein Unternehmer, Weinhändler oder Gastgeber. Sicher ist nur: Vorsichtig wird sein Weg nicht. Begonnen hat die offizielle Weinreise 2024 im Jellyfish in Hamburg. Und du darfst ihn begleiten – vielleicht erleben wir gerade, wie aus einem Weinbesessenen jemand wird, dessen Name in der Weinwelt noch lange zählt.

After Episode 620: The Greats -- the Wachau of Austria, I thought about re-releasing this show but I wasn't 100% sure. I decided to do it because in listening to Ep 383 again, it brought the region to life for me in a different and very useful way. I figured it would be helpful for you as well!   In this show I speak with Roman Horvath, a Master of Wine, is the Winery Director of Domaine Wachau, which is among the leading wine producers in Austria. The Domaine  is actually a cooperative, meaning it is run by and owned by individual growers, with Roman bringing them all together under his leadership.  Domaine Wachau has been cited as one of the best co-ops in the world and is known for making wines of origin and pure flavor.   The Domaine has a full range of Grüner Veltliner and Riesling that reflect their unique terroir – from small vineyard plots on steep terraces along the Danube to regional wines. Roman coordinates the vintner families, who work to capture the terroir of the historic wine region of Wachau. These wines are terroir driven and show how the co-op system can work well and produce outstanding regional, village, and single vineyard wines when under the right management.   A great conversation and a perfect show to listen to after Ep 620! Enjoy!      Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon. Join the community today! www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople _______________________________________________________________ CHECK OUT MY NEW SPONSOR!!!  This show is brought to you by my NEW exclusive sponsor, Grapes the Wine Company – an actual brick and mortar store located in White Plains, New York that has been recognized by the Wall Street Journal as one of the most influential wine retailers in America. It is a store owned by my friend Daniel Posner, who has been on the show!

Unsere Folgen sind nicht selten ungewöhnlich lang. Das hat seinen Grund: Wir möchten den Tiefsinn fließen lassen und Euch unsere Gesprächspartner so präsentieren, wie Ihr sie sonst nie – und vielleicht nie wieder – kennenlernen könnt. Und um Euch die Scheu zu nehmen, die man verspürt, wenn man einen über drei Stunden langen Zeitstempel sieht, aber auch, um Euch so richtig Lust auf den Kandidaten zu machen, präsentieren wir Euch immer einen Tag vor dem Release einen exklusiven Sneak in die neue Folge. Viel Spaß beim Hören, und wir freuen uns auf Euch mit einem herzlichen „Welcome back“ am Freitag.

Vom Studentenjob im Weinhandel zum Geschäftsführer eines über 500 Jahre alten VDP-Weinguts: Sebastian Schmidtke erzählt, wie er seinen sicheren Job aufgab, zunächst unbezahlt an der Mosel arbeitete und schließlich beim traditionsreichen Weingut Josef Milz einstieg. Gemeinsam verkosten wir vier außergewöhnliche Moselweine: den saftigen „180°“ Riesling, das Große Gewächs aus der Monopollage Felsenkopf, den im Holz ausgebauten Magna Carta Weißburgunder und eine spektakulär gereifte Trittenheimer Apotheke Riesling Spätlese aus dem Jahr 2008. Wir sprechen über Restzucker und Säure, gutes Bitter im Wein, den Klimawandel und immer frühere Weinlesen, VDP-Regeln sowie die Frage, warum deutsche Spitzenweine im eigenen Land noch immer unterschätzt werden.

Ein halber Hektar Weinberg auf 1000 Metern Höhe ist nicht gerade das, was man von einem Direktor des Konsortiums Südtirol Wein erwarten würde. Eduard Bernhart hat sich die Arbeit trotzdem angetan. 2016 kaufte er im oberen Vinschgau eine geeignete Fläche, 2018 pflanzte er Riesling und Blauburgunder – „vielleicht eine naive oder blauäugige Entscheidung“, kokettiert er. 2021 wurde erstmals vinifiziert, und das Experiment  Heute macht ihm das Experiment vor allem eines: Spaß. Ich traf Eduard Bernhart für die 181. Folge von „Auf ein Glas“ aber eigentlich gar nicht in seiner Funktion als Winzer, sondern als Botschafter für Südtiroler Wein zwischen Masterclass und High Wine im Dresdner Bülow Palais. Seit August 2018 ist Eduard Bernhart Direktor des Konsortiums Südtirol Wein. Aber dass er neben Kommunikation, Marketing und Interessenvertretung auch selbst Reben anbaut und Wein macht, ist für ihn kein nebensächliches Hobby. Es erdet ihn – und verschafft ihm einen unmittelbaren Blick auf die Arbeit der Winzer. „Man kann mich nicht allzu leicht aufs Glatteis führen“, sagt er. Er wisse eben nicht nur, wie man über Wein spricht, sondern auch, was es bedeutet, einen Weinberg zu bestocken und einen Wein zu vinifizieren.Mehr Infos und Bilder bei den STIPvisiten!

Alsace är på revanschhumör! Vi snackar nobla druvor, crémant på uppgång, pinot noirs renässans och varför sylvaner plötsligt känns het igen. Dessutom: Antinori-middag, nya vintips och höstens mest dejtvänliga cocktailbar. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Austria is a bit off the radar so you may not know its greatest region: the Wachau. This time I cover the region in detail, from its 2000 year history to its unique geological makeup. I explain the region and why it makes some of best Grüner Veltliner and Riesling. While Austria is most certainly on the rise, there is no other region that rises to "The Greats" status other than the Wachau. A truly unique gem, in the world of white wine, this is a region with perfect terroir, a set of producers who have collaborated to do their best, and a set of wines that rank among the best whites in the world.    In this show, as in all "Greats" I cover:  The history of the Wachau The location, climate, and geography/geology Viticulture that is unique to the area (the dry stone walls, and the inclusion of botrytized grapes by some is fascinating!). The main grapes (Grüner, Riesling) and wine styles Sub regions and their significance Producers Classifications from both the Vinea Wachau AND the DAC system A great show and an even better region. Try these wines and get back to me! A good Smargd is hard to beat!!   Source for this show: Wachau Brochure from Wines of Austria Great pictures of the Wachau: Vinea Wachau   Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon. Join the community today! www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople _______________________________________________________________ CHECK OUT MY NEW SPONSOR!!!  This show is brought to you by my NEW exclusive sponsor, Grapes the Wine Company – an actual brick and mortar store located in White Plains, New York that has been recognized by the Wall Street Journal as one of the most influential wine retailers in America.

Tokaji may be famous for dessert wine, but this bottle shows a completely different side of Hungary's historic wine region.This week, we taste the 2020 Préselő Tokaji Furmint, a bone-dry white packed with sharp acidity, green apple, citrus, minerality, and a petrol note that transforms as the wine opens. We explore why dry Furmint has struggled to escape Tokaji's sweet reputation and whether it could follow Riesling's path from misunderstood grape to white-wine favorite.At around $30, can this unfamiliar Hungarian wine earn a place at your next dinner?Wine Details:Producer: PréselőWine: Tokaji FurmintVintage: 2020Region: Tokaj, HungaryGrape: 100% FurmintABV: 11.5%Price: About $30Provided by: UNPINNED Bottle ShopLearned more about and sign up for the UNPINNED Wine Club and Bottle Shop!Website: https://unpinnedwineclub.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unpinnedwine/Support the show!Buy us a glass!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/cheers3⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with the show.

Thomas Bergk gehört zur gefährdeten Spezies jener Sommeliers, bei denen selbst das aufdrehen einer schraubverschlossenen Weinflasche den Charakter einer Weltpremiere hat und das Nachschenken von Wasser die Würde eines Rituals trägt, das älter ist als jede Religion, die je eine Kirche gebaut hat. Er erscheint nicht. Er materialisiert sich. Lautlos, präzise, mit der Selbstverständlichkeit eines Naturgesetzes. Keine Flasche ploppt, wenn er den Korken lüftet. Kein Glas klirrt, wenn er es absetzt. Thomas Bergk lebt den Unterschied zwischen Herzlichkeit und Vertraulichkeit, und er zieht diese Grenze mit der Sicherheit eines Architekten, der weiß, wo die tragende Wand sitzt. Er weiß, dass Herr Felsner seinen Rotwein immer eine Viertelstunde vor dem Essen dekantiert haben möchte, dass Frau Hecht Sprudelwasser und Champagner verabscheut. Sein Lächeln ist ein Meisterwerk der Ambiguität ohne dass dabei auch nur ein Muskel zu viel zuckt. Es ist kein aufgesetztes Lächeln, kein Berufslächeln, kein von der Personalabteilung empfohlenes Lächeln. Es ist das Lächeln eines Menschen, der seinen Beruf liebt und deshalb nie aufgehört hat, sich zu wundern, wie viele Menschen an einem einzigen Abend, an einem einzigen Tisch, satt und glücklich und für einen Moment von sich selbst erlöst werden können. Er hat Epochen erlebt, Trends kommen und gehen sehen, Köche aufsteigen und abstürzen, Weinkarten in Flammen aufgehen, den Kani-Trend, den Barrique-Wahnsinn, den Natural-Wine-Taumel. Er hat all das mit der stoischen Gelassenheit eines Mannes beobachtet, der weiß: Am Ende möchte der Gast satt werden, glücklich sein und das Gefühl haben, dass jemand für ihn da war. Der Rest ist Dekoration. Sein Beruf ist seine Berufung. Das klingt pathetisch, ist aber das Nüchternste, was man über ihn sagen kann. Er hätte auch Arzt werden können, Anwalt, Ingenieur. Er hat sich für den Speisesaal, für den Weinkeller entschieden – und zwar mit der Ernsthaftigkeit eines Berufenen, der genau weiß, dass Gastfreundschaft keine dienende Haltung ist, sondern eine der ältesten und würdevollsten Gesten, die ein Mensch einem anderen gegenüber vollziehen kann.

Die international bekannteste Weinlage Deutschlands ist unzweifelhaft der Scharzhofberg in Wiltingen an der Saar. Ein Scharzhofberger Riesling ist eine echte Perle: Ein Liebhaber war unlängst bereit, für eine 0,375-Liter-Flasche Trockenbeerenauslese dieser Lage vom Winzer Egon Müller 16.100 Euro zu bezahlen, wodurch jener zum teuersten Riesling der Welt aufstieg. Die wenigen Milliliter konzentrierten Genusses hat der Käufer sich ordentlich etwas kosten lassen – ähnlich wie der Kaufmann, von dem im Tagesvers die Rede ist. Der war sogar bereit, seinen gesamten Besitz für eine winzige Perle zu verkaufen.Damit ist er eine Metapher für Jesus, der infolge seiner Menschwerdung alles aufgab, was er im Himmel an Vorrechten genossen hatte. Auf der Erde war er dann bereit, mitten in den besten Jahren freiwillig eines blutigen Todes zu sterben – der gesamten Menschheit zugute. Er erkaufte für den teuersten Preis, den es geben kann, restlose Sündenvergebung für jeden, der sie annehmen möchte. Dieser Preis war sein Blut. Es war das Blut eines Reinen, eines Vollkommenen. Es allein hat die Macht, Sünden wegzuwaschen. Jesus war bereit, das Wertvollste zu geben, um das Teuerste zu bekommen. Weit mehr noch als der Rieslingliebhaber oder der Kaufmann aus dem Tagesvers. Und was ist das Teuerste? Sie und ich. Uns wollte er mit seinem Blut reinwaschen, um uns mit in den Himmel nehmen zu können.Doch anders als Riesling oder Perle können wir uns dem hohen Preis auch verweigern. Es ist an uns, auf Jesu Angebot aktiv zu reagieren, er kauft uns nicht gegen unseren Willen. Haben wir einmal verstanden, dass er einen horrenden Preis für uns bezahlt hat, so ist es zwingend nötig, dass wir persönlich Ja dazu sagen.Jacob AmeisDiese und viele weitere Andachten online lesenWeitere Informationen zu »Leben ist mehr« erhalten Sie unter www.lebenistmehr.de

Marchelle Wines founder Greg La Follette is back on California Wine Country with Dan Berger and Daedalus Howell. Greg has been on the show before, the last time was this episode of Oct. 25, 2024, but this is his first time with Daedalus hosting. They begin by tasting a Vermentino that Greg La Follette has produced. His label, Marchelle Wines, has just opened a new tasting room in Healdsburg. It is a big step for a small winery. They only produce 1100 cases per year and Greg things that direct-to-consumers sales are best for small wineries like his. Dan remembers touring a vineyard to inspect some Riesling and they stumbled upon a beautiful Vermentino vineyard. So Greg and Dan had to get some to make. Daedalus describes it having a light effervescence, a kiss or honeydew melon, but bone dry. Dan tastes Golden Delicious apples on the nose but with a note of lemon at the end and a bit of spice. This is a Bahl Fratty Vermentino. Dan has some space for his wines in Greg’s new tasting room. This is Greg’s 70th harvest. He could get three harvests in a calendar year on all continents. An Indirect Path to Winemaking Greg La Follette decided he wanted to be a winemaker by the time he ws 17 years old. He liked the people in the vineyards as well as the science. Then he lived in the San Fernando Valley in LA, for a while. He worked as the ship’s piper on the Queen Mary, playing bagpipes. After degrees in biology and chemistry he worked in early Aids research, then transfered into the UC Davis Enology department. He taught labs there, as a staffer and a grad student. His thesis was on how Burgundian winemaking techniques affect mouth feel. Greg is grateful for the coverage that Dan has given him over the years, a wine writer. He remembers working with André Tchelistcheff, the legendary winemaker. He says the stories that people tell do not begin to convey what a force he was. They taste a Colombard that Greg has made, in a dry style. His friend brought him to see some Colombard vines that had been planted in 1902. The vines needed a lot of work. At first he used it for Single Thread for their house wine. Then when Covid hit the demand dropped and he got control of the stock. That became the first wine under the Marchelle label, which is a fusion of the names of his wife and his friend’s wife. They opened the tasting room a couple of weeks ago. Dan’s Riesling and Vermentino are there, along with Greg’s wines for Marchelle Wines. Dan says that these wines are as good as anything he has ever done. 

In dieser Speedtasting-Folge verkosten wir den 2024 Hochheimer Stielweg Alte Reben Riesling trocken vom Weingut Künstler aus dem Rheingau. Die Reben wurden bereits 1964 gepflanzt. Im Glas zeigt sich der Riesling mit intensiver Pfirsichfrucht, steiniger Mineralität, feiner Zitrusnote und einem leicht rauchig-würzigen Finale. Trotz seiner Tiefe wirkt er frisch, schlank und wunderbar belebend – ein ernsthafter Sommerwein mit Lagerpotenzial. Die Fakten: • Weingut: Künstler • Herkunft: Hochheim im Rheingau • Lage: Hochheimer Stielweg, VDP.ERSTE LAGE • Rebsorte: Riesling • Jahrgang: 2024 • Ausbau: trocken • Alkohol: 13 % vol. • Restzucker: 2,4 g/l • Preis: ca. 21,95 € Wie würdet Ihr den Wein bewerten? Schreibt es uns in die Kommentare!

In Deutschland wird immer weniger Wein getrunken. Der Konsum sank im letzten Jahr statistisch gesehen um 1 Flasche pro Kopf. Auf diese sinkende Nachfrage müssen sich die Winzer einstellen. Dazu kommt die Konkurrenz mit den Discountern, die massenhaft billigen Wein aus ganz Europa anbieten. Viele Winzer können da nicht mehr mithalten und geben auf. Unter diesen Vorzeichen beginnt die Weinlese 2026 und sie beginnt außergewöhnlich früh. Da zeigt sich ein weiteres Problem für die Produzenten: die Folgen des Klimawandels, extreme Hitze, extreme Trockenheit. Wird es in Zukunft noch Riesling geben bei uns? Die Rebsorte liebt kühlere Temperaturen… Klar ist, die Deutschen trinken nicht nur Wasser. Was die Menschen zurzeit gerne im Glas haben, und wie die Winzer mit den Herausforderungen umgehen können, darüber spricht Moderatorin Doris Renck mit Christine Müller von den Hessischen Staatsweingütern Kloster Eberbach, mit Frank Schulz vom Deutschen Weininstitut, mit der Sommeliere Natalie Lumpp und mit Manuela Rimbach-Sator von der Winzerseelsorge Rheinhessen. Podcast-Tipp: ARD Klima Update E-Auto, Wärmepumpe, Hitzeanpassung - Klimaschutz erhitzt die Gemüter. Im ARD Klima Update erfahrt ihr, was sich hinter den aktuellen Debatten verbirgt.

Für die 180. Folge von "Auf ein Glas" probieren wir drei Weine des VDP-Weinguts van Volxem – und beginnen ganz untypisch für die Saar mit einem Rosé, um dann untypisch weiterzumachen mit einem Weißburgunder. Riesling kommt als Kabi dann aber doch noch ins Glas – und mit ihm eine nette Idee… Mit den üblichen Abschweifungen kommen Matthias Gräfe und Ulrich van Stipriaan zu Fragen (und Antworten) des Zeitgeistes beim Weingeschmack und der Frage, warum es so einen Hype um Hobby-Lesemannschaften gibt – wo doch gerade bei der Lese Können gefragt ist, um die Qualität des Weinbergs in den Keller zu bringen. Warum die beiden dann beim Käsekrainer landen und wieso die Kombi Käsekrainer und Kabi Potential hat, wird am Ende dieser Folge verraten.Mehr Infos bei den STIPvisiten!

How can a hospitality disaster completely change your approach to wine and service? When do wine tasting notes become so over-the-top that they stop meaning anything? What makes natural wine like an unfiltered snapshot of a single moment? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Maryse Chevriere, author of the new book How to Sound Wine Smart. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks.   Giveaway Three of you are going to win a copy of Maryse Chevriere's terrific book, How to Sound Wine Smart: An Illustrated Guide. To qualify, all you have to do is email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com. I'll choose three people randomly from those who contact me. Good luck!   Highlights What was Maryse's most mortifying moment while working as a sommelier? Does wine education need more humour and plain language? What finally convinced Maryse to move from food writing into the wine world? How did working a harvest in Alsace shape the way Maryse thinks about natural wine? Why is working in a wine shop as much about listening as it is about recommending? Why are underdog grapes like Riesling and Chenin Blanc some of Maryse's favourites?

Zwei Männer mit Metalldetektoren stehen 1999 auf einem flachen Hügel in Mitteldeutschland. Das Ding schlägt aus. Was sie ausgraben, verkaufen sie für 31.000 Mark. Sie ahnen nicht, dass sie gerade eine Weltsensation in der Hand halten. Unbezahlbar. Und älter als fast alles, was wir über dieses Europa zu wissen glaubten.Jochen war in Saale-Unstrut. Einer Region, die ihn komplett umgehauen hat. Er sitzt in einem winzigen Café in Naumburg vor Patisserie, die aussieht wie aus Japan. Er steht im tausende Jahre alten Naumburger Dom vor Uta, die Umberto Eco die schönste Frau des Mittelalters nannte und die bei Disney zur bösen Königin wurde. Er sitzt abends in den Weinbergen und schaut auf rote Dächer und ein Tal, das sich langsam entschleiert als grandioses Reiseziel.Und dann ist da diese goldene Scheibe. Die Himmelsscheibe von Nebra. 3700 Jahre alt, die älteste konkrete Darstellung des Himmels, die die Menschheit kennt. Gefunden genau hier - mitten in Deutschland.Kommt mit nach Saale-Unstrut, nach Thüringen und Sachsen-Anhalt. In Folge zwei geht es weiter nach Jena.—

Heute geht es ins Remstal, nach Großheppach zum Weingut Bernhard Ellwanger. Mein Gast ist Sven Ellwanger, der den Betrieb gemeinsam mit seiner Schwester Yvonne führt. Auf den ersten Blick wirkt dieses Weingut bodenständig, gewachsen und angenehm unaufgeregt. Im Gespräch zeigt sich aber schnell, wie viel Bewegung in diesem Betrieb steckt: Sauvignon Blanc, Junges Schwaben, Bio-Weinbau, Piwis, Spontangärung, starke Privatkundschaft, Rotweinambition – und eine Region, die noch immer mit alten Klischees zu kämpfen hat. Im Zentrum der Episode stehen drei Weine: ein Muskat-Trollinger Rosé, ein Roter Riesling und eine Lemberger-Syrah-Cuvée. Der Muskat-Trollinger Rosé zeigt, dass Duftigkeit, Frucht und Leichtigkeit nicht banal sein müssen. Sven beschreibt ihn als einen der wichtigsten Weine des Betriebs – trocken ausgebaut, aromatisch, frisch und mit einem kleinen Anteil maischevergorener Partie, der dem Wein zusätzlichen Grip gibt. Der Rote Riesling erzählt eine besondere Geschichte: Im Weinberg wurde eine Mutation in einer alten Rieslinganlage entdeckt – eine Fruchtrute mit weißen Rieslingtrauben, eine andere mit rötlichen Beeren. Aus diesem Zufall wurde eine eigene Selektion, die heute als ernsthafter Wein im Sortiment steht: körperreicher, fülliger und säureärmer als klassischer Riesling, aber dennoch mit eigener Riesling-Prägung. Die Lemberger-Syrah-Cuvée führt schließlich mitten in die Frage, wie sich Württemberg heute verändert. Lemberger bringt kühle Beerenfrucht, Frische und regionale Identität; Syrah ergänzt Würze, Körper, Pfeffer, dunklere Noten und Struktur. Im Glas begegnen sich regionale Herkunft und internationale Rebsorte erstaunlich selbstverständlich. Außerdem sprechen wir über Svens Zeit in Neuseeland, Sauvignon Blanc und Fumé Blanc, über die Gruppe Junges Schwaben, über Bio-Weinbau, Bodenaufbau, Humus, Begrünung und Pflanzenschutz, über den Gravitationskeller, über ProWein, Wine Paris, Export, alkoholfreie Produkte und die Zukunft eines Familienweinguts mit großer Sortenvielfalt. Eine Folge über ein Württemberg, das sich leise verändert hat – pragmatisch, beharrlich, bodenständig und im Glas sehr überzeugend.

We chat with Jen Parr, winemaker at Valli Wine in Central Otago, New Zealand.Jen grew up in Oregon, USA and spent nearly a decade in the tech industry before following her passion for wine to New Zealand via a grape-picking trip in southwest France. She shares the story of her winding path - from Stanford University to software sales in London, to cellar hand at Villa Maria, and ultimately to head winemaker at Valli, where she has now crafted 12 harvests across five sub-regions including the Waitaki Valley.Jen talks about what drew her to Central Otago, her mentorship under Grant Taylor, and her philosophy that wine is fundamentally a language - a narrator of place, geology, and time. She also discusses Valli's expanding range of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling, and Pinot Gris, the winery's charity wine series that supports local causes, and her passion for community, mentoring the next generation of winemakers, and championing New Zealand wine as a whole - not just her own label.The episode closes with Jen's personal answer to the final question: who she'd share a glass of wine with, what, where and why.www.valliwine.comwww.nzwinepodcast.comwww.instagram.com/nzwinepodcastMusic track featured on this podcast: ‘Here He Was' – courtesy of Brent Page.

Hey, Renee — and hey friend. If you've got a client dinner coming up and don't want to look out of your depth (but also don't want to be stiff and boring), this chat has your back. There are two main vibes you can lean into: the quietly sophisticated move or the casually cool cocktail move. For the low-key, impress-without-trying option, go wine: a Pinot Noir, especially from Willamette Valley or Burgundy, is a safe, classy choice that says you're worldly and confident without shouting it. Avoid polarizing picks like big Cabs or sweet Rieslings. If the spot is more modern or has a fun cocktail program, use the menu to your advantage — pick a base spirit you like (tequila, rum, whiskey) and ask the server about a cocktail by name, or ask its flavor profile. That shows thoughtfulness and curiosity without pretending to be an expert. In old-school or male-dominated settings, ordering a whiskey-forward cocktail, an Old Fashioned, or a specific scotch can be an intentional power move — annoying and unfair that it works, but also effective. Conversely, avoid party drinks (Long Island Iced Tea, shots) unless you're celebrating and the group is going there. Martini fans: if you go this route, know the terminology (gin vs. vodka, dry vs. extra dry, stirred vs. shaken, up vs. on the rocks, garnish) so you don't give away that you're faking it. If you can, glance at the cocktail list before you sit so you're not flustered, and don't be the person who orders first unless you know what you want — mirroring the group and projecting calm confidence will take you far. Bottom line: it's less about the exact drink and more about how you order it — poised, informed, and present. Now go close that deal, hold your drink like you know what you're doing, and hey — if it's Margaritaville and scooters with cup holders, send pics.

Garry Brooks, from Brooks Note Winery in the Petaluma Gap, joins Dan Berger and Daedalus Howell on California Wine Country. This is Garry’s third time on the show, after being on twice in 2025, first in February and then in December. In his two previous appearances, Garry and Dan discuss the characteristics of the Petaluma Gap in great detail. They also tell the story of how it became an official AVA. Brooks Note Winery is in the Petaluma Gap, where the Wine to Wine Festival is coming soon. It is a great public tasting to help raise awareness of this sub-region of the Sonoma Coast. The united winemakers of the Petaluma Gap have i it an official AVA. Brooks Note makes cold climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, but also Riesling and Albariño. The Brooks Note vineyard is near the Sonoma Raceway. Garry has brought an Albariño. The varietal grows in Portugal and Spain. It has has a lemon peel, honey and spice components, and a trace of muscat. It also has good acidity. The vines get blasted from the wind coming off the Pacific Ocean. As the air inland heats up, it pulls wind in that crosses Hwy 1 and blows toward Petaluma. The wind slows down photosynthesis so the vines take longer to ripen. Azaya Ranch Garry has also brought a Pinot Noir from Azaya Ranch. It is just across the Marin – Sonoma border, on the Marin side. It gets cold fog. Another vineyard is southwest of Sebastopol, which also gets a little bit of fog. Brooks Note also makes a GSM – Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre – from the Sebastopol Hills. Then they taste some Pinot Noir. First is a 2024 Petaluma Gap Pinot Noir. It comes from three vineyards. Taylor’s Crown, in the northeast corner of the Petaluma Gap, has compressed volcanic ash. Panther Ridge is a biodynamic vineyard at about 1000 feet of elevation. It has big red chunks of pumice and basalt throughout the vineyard. The third is Sweet Family Vineyard, at about 750 feet elevation. It also has volcanic soil. The vines struggle and the soil is well drained. Garry used about 20% new oak, and about 15% whole cluster. Dan and Garry agree that this is what Petaluma Gap is supposed to taste like. 

In this conversation, Fritz continues his deep dive with Thijs Verschuuren of Herman J. Wiemer, exploring practical baby steps toward biodynamic and organic vineyard management. Thijs walks through how he structures a non-systemic spray program in a high-disease-pressure region, breaking down critical spray timing, coverage strategies, and why he treats bloom and cap fall as "non-negotiable" spray windows. They discuss how Thijs combines copper, sulfur, plant teas, biologicals, and newer tools like chitosan-based fungicides and kaolin clay to target downy mildew, black rot, powdery mildew, and leafhoppers, while staying within strict copper limits and managing livestock safety. Fritz and Thijs also cover biodynamic teas, how forecasting and 48‑hour brews fit into a preventive program, and why daily scouting and mapping disease "pockets" are essential. The conversation concludes with canopy management, pruning, mechanization, and thoughtful leaf removal that maintain disease control without sacrificing the acidity and fruit quality of Riesling and Chardonnay on the path to Demeter certification. In this episode, you will hear: Why spray timing and coverage matter more than product choice in organic and biodynamic programs How to integrate copper, sulfur, oils, chitosan, and kaolin clay while respecting label limits and site conditions Practical strategies for managing downy mildew, black rot, and powdery mildew with a mostly protectant toolbox How biodynamic teas and preparations fit into a preventive, weather‑driven vineyard health program Daily scouting, mapping, and localized spraying as core tools to limit disease spread and input use Follow and Review: If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to follow the podcast and leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts!

This week we're joined by Ryan Julio and Shane Mason from Del Rey Wine Center to answer one of the biggest questions in wine: does proper storage really matter?We talk about what actually happens to a bottle as it ages, the biggest storage mistakes people make, and how heat, light, and temperature swings can quietly ruin a great wine. Along the way, Ryan explains why some inexpensive wines are worth buying by the case, why Riesling is one of the world's greatest aging wines, and how patience can completely transform what's in your glass.To put those ideas to the test, we finish the episode with a Keller Riesling from Germany, a wine that reminds us why some bottles really are worth the wait.If you've ever wondered whether you need a wine fridge, how long you should hold onto a bottle, or whether aging wine is only for collectors, this is an episode you won't want to miss.Check out the Del Rey Wine Center Website: https://www.usstoragecenters.com/storage-options/wine-storage/del-rey-wine-centerInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/delreywinecenterSupport the show and help keep the wine flowing!Buy us a glass!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/cheers3⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with the show.

Fred Peterson, owner of Peterson Winery, joins Dan Berger and Daedalus Howell on California Wine Country today. This is Fred’s first time on the show, but Peterson wines were a big part of this episode with Darryl Miller, on March 27 this year. Daedalus mentions the birds on the labels of the Peterson wines that Fred has brought. There are other labels with a mountain lion, a bear, a fox and a deer. They find old prints that are in public domain that they can use with no royalties. Fred Peterson calls his winemaking style “zero manipulation” which they have trademarked. He uses the jackalope on the label, but he can’t trademark that mythical animal which is in the public domain. They begin by tasting a 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon from Dry Creek Valley. This is what happens when you have the proper fruit, the proper region and the proper technique of making the wine, says Dan. It is a great example of what it can do when it is properly aged. A Cab needs about 12 years to reach its fully mature complexity. This one is 23 years old now and has flavors of dry herbs and bay leaf. This is a mountain cabernet from Bradford Mountain where Fred lives, at about 1100 feet elevation. If a Cabernet is just big, oaky, alcoholic and tannic, it can’t also carry terroir. Mountain Cabs have an edginess that other Cabs just don’t have. -•• • --- -•• ••• •-• •-California Wine Country is brought to you by Deodora Estate Vineyards.

Dan reminds us that bitterness is a good thing. We like it in dark chocolate and in coffee. For example, bitters are appropriate in a mixed drink. They are part of the overall complexity and diversity of flavors. This wine is a perfect example. It delivers all its high-altitude character. Fred says, “If we don’t make wines that taste of the vineyard, there’s no reason for a small winery to exist, in my opinion.” He calls his winemaking process “zero manipulation” so that his wines taste like the vineyard. Their current release Cab is the 2022. So, it is young, for a Cabernet. The 2022 is also a very good wine, and Dan thinks that Fred harvested it at the right time. Both Cabs are blends. The 2003 is 83% Cabernet Sauvignon and 17% Merlot. The 2022 has the same 83% Cab, 11% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc. After time in the Navy, Fred enrolled at UC Santa Cruz. He took time off for a road trip, to bring a motorcycle to a friend’s farm in Iowa. He took an interest in agriculture when he was there. He took some Agriculture classes at the JC then finished at UC Davis. His mom’s side of the family is Sicilian and Calabrese, so he grew up around wine. Dan sees this as a typical pattern for winemakers, to start in another field before settling on winemaking. Gravity Flow Block He calls the vineyard Gravity Flow block. It is an acre and a half of vineyard with over a mile of deer fencing. When he planted this block, he planted about 7% Viogner which he co-ferments with the Syrah. He and his son don’t like very tannic wines and the Viogner helps temper the Syrah. Co-fermentation is also called co-pigmentation.  The grapes ferment together. If you put 5% Viognier you get darker wine, aromatic improvement and a lighter texture. It has a paradoxical flavor. It has personality and maturity, but it feels young. The 2005 just needs ten more years in the bottle. The Syrah from 2018 is “stunning” says Dan, and was just released. It is available at the winery. Peterson Winery has a mailing list that we can all join. His son does blending seminars occasionally and he does vineyard tours. 

When Shekar Sathyanarayana, founder of Nalla, began visiting wineries in Santa Barbara and talked about Indian food, winemakers loved the food, but had never paired it with wine. Now, Nalla has brought Indian food and wine pairing to over 100 events hosted at wineries and other venues and Shekar shares what he has learned about match Indian food and wine.

Shane Finley, winemaker and Lisa Brayton co-owner of Thirty-Seven Wines join Dan Berger and Daedalus Howell on California Wine Country. This episode of August 10, 2022 featured Lisa along with her husband Al, who is holding down the fort today. This is Shane’s first time on the show. Thirty-Seven Wines is named after the highway. Dan describes the Thirty-Seven Wines vineyard. There are varieties there that don’t grow in warmer areas. One example of that is Albariño. They have cooler days and warmer nights, near San Pablo Bay, across the street from the Sonoma Raceway. It is at a high enough elevation to have a 180-degree view of the bay. On a clear day they can see Coit Tower in San Francisco. The vineyard lies within the Petaluma Gap AVA. They get winds from both the Petaluma Gap and from the south, off the bay. This keeps the temperatures down and controls the acid levels in all the varietals. -.. . --- -.. --- .. .-DEODORA ESTATE VINEYARDSCalifornia Wine Country is brought to you by Deodora Estate Vineyards.

Shane names Albariño, Blau Frankisch, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah, Grenache, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Merlot, which they have all on the same property. He credits Al and Lisa for being crazy enough and intuitive enough to put so many varieties together like that. Thirty-Seven Wines produces all their wine from their own estate grown grapes. Shane describes their approach to making wine. To keep it fresh and vibrant, they don’t do any lees stirring, they only do partial ML, mainly fermented in concrete. They use their oldest barrels, from 2010 and 2011. These barrels are “really neutral.” Dan detects a faint tropical note in the Albariño they are tasting. It gets intense morning sun but long cool afternoons. Lisa is in charge of managing the canopy to keep space between the clusters and maintain acidity. 

Ernst Loosen vom Weingut Dr. Loosen über seinen Weg vom Archäologen zum Winzer, alte Reben, Schiefer und die Kunst, einem Wein Zeit zu lassen. Werbung Diese Folge des Winzer Talk entstand in Kooperation mit der Wein- und Ferienregion Bernkastel-Kues. Ernst Loosen vom Weingut Dr. Loosen über seinen Weg vom Archäologen zum Winzer, alte Reben, Schiefer und die Kunst, einem Wein Zeit zu lassen. Um 1900 waren die Rieslinge von Rhein und Mosel die berühmtesten und teuersten Weine der Welt, teurer als die großen Bordeaux. Heute weiß das kaum noch jemand. Einer, der dieses Erbe wieder zum Leben erweckt hat, ist Ernst Loosen, von vielen als Botschafter der wiederentdeckten deutschen Riesling-Kultur bezeichnet. Für diese Folge kehre ich zurück nach Bernkastel-Kues an der Mittelmosel, mitten ins größte Steillagenweinbaugebiet der Welt. Ein Ort, an dem die Zeit stehengeblieben scheint, mit seiner historischen Altstadt voller Fachwerkhäuser, dem mittelalterlichen Marktplatz und der Burg Landshut, die hoch über allem thront, ringsherum nichts als steile Weinberge. Hier liegt das Weingut Dr. Loosen. Eigentlich wollte Ernst Loosen Archäologe werden. Stattdessen übernahm er das Familienweingut und führte es zurück zu den Wurzeln. Große Weine wie vor 100 Jahren, mit alten Reben, Schiefer, 100 Prozent gesunden Trauben und vor allem viel Geduld. Wir sprechen über die zwei Wein-Traditionen, die er geerbt hat, über einen Riesling, der erst nach 50 Jahren in den Verkauf kommt, über den größten Irrtum im Weinkeller, den er erst durch eine Blindprobe entlarvte, und darüber, warum gerade jetzt die spannendste Zeit für deutschen Wein ist. Viel Freude mit dieser Reise an die Mosel, nach Bernkastel-Kues.

In this episode of the Got Somme Blind Wine Series, Angus throws Carlos Santos, Master Sommelier, one of the hardest blind tastings yet.The twist? The wine is served in a fully blacked-out RIEDEL blind tasting glass, meaning Carlos can't see the colour, viscosity or clarity. It could be Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Grüner Veltliner or even something completely unexpected.As Carlos works through the aromas, structure, acid, body and flavour profile, the wine starts to point in every direction at once. Fresh citrus, green apple, pear, almond shell, savoury texture and a salty finish all suggest a white wine, but the reveal leaves both Angus and Carlos genuinely stunned.The wine? Bianco di Merlot from Switzerland.Thanks https://invidiawines.com/Yes, a white wine made from Merlot.This is one of the most surprising blind tastings we've done on Got Somme, and a perfect example of how much colour influences the way we assess wine.Episode Highlights- Angus introduces the RIEDEL black blind tasting glass- Carlos explains why colour is so important in blind wine tasting- The wine presents as fresh, citric and savoury- Carlos considers Chablis, Grüner Veltliner, Müller-Thurgau, Aligoté, Chasselas and Sylvaner- The reveal shocks both Angus and Carlos- Carlos explains why Bianco di Merlot would be almost impossible to identify blindChapters00:00 – “I didn't even know this could happen”00:07 – Blind wine tasting with a twist00:17 – The RIEDEL blacked-out glass reveal00:33 – Why colour matters in blind tasting01:22 – Carlos begins assessing the wine01:51 – First guesses: Chablis, Grüner Veltliner or Pinot Grigio?02:32 – Angus admits he was way off02:49 – Carlos narrows down the options03:33 – The shocking wine reveal03:38 – White Merlot from Switzerland04:05 – How can Merlot become a white wine?04:27 – Why this is an impossible blind tasting

Scott Lindstrom-Dake from Thumbprint Cellars joins Dan Berger and Daedalus Howell on California Wine Country. This is Scott’s first time on the show. Thumbprint Cellars is located in the Petaluma Gap. The first tasting is a 2024 Nouveau, primarily made with Grenache with a little bit of Zin, meant to be served chilled. It has a dark pink color and is a refreshing easy-drinking wine. Dan notices that it is very dry but not soft, either. It has the personality of a red but the structure of a white. This wine also got 50% malolactic fermentation which gives it body but not too much. The fruit flavors are coming from the Grenache. This is the result of carbonic maceration is when you put the whole cluster in without crushing, so every berry is whole when they develop their own fermentation. It’s not meant for aging but for enjoying now. (++++) California Wine Country is brought to you by Deodora Estate Vineyards. Visit Deodora to discover 72 acres in the Petaluma Gap that produce exceptional Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling. Sip the difference!  (++++) The next wine is the 2021 Passion Valley, which Scott calls their prestige brand. Scott was making wine when he was an art student mostly doing sculpture, so he wanted to call it Sculptured Cellars. But then one evening, his wife handed him a gold pen to customize some labels on the bottles of some of his home made wine. The gold ink leaked from the pen, and he used his thumb to blot the ink. Then he left a gold thumbprint on the bottles. He realized he had a name when people asked for more of “that thumbprint wine.” This Sculptured Cellars wine won a Gold Medal at the North Coast Wine Challenge. It comes from 75-80 year-old Carignan vines, 50%, with another 50% Syrah. It gets a little barrel aging in French oak, about 20% new. The Carignan is grown near the Russian River, so it gets cooler evenings. Dan finds it succulent and mature, ready for further aging. He would serve it slightly chilled, with barbeque. Scott started making wine as a hobby after his wife got him a book about how to make wine in your garage. He thought about what he would want on the label. While staring at wine labels in a store for half an hour, he would read labels. He thought that the information he wanted was lacking. Scott decided it was important to put some information on the label, so the customer has an idea of what’s going on. Scott is making Cabernet Franc, which will be more and more in demand. In Napa valley, it is already more expensive than Cabernet Sauvignon. Dan predicts that its popularity will increase. Cabernet Sauvignon is a cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. It is not easy to grow. Cabernet Franc is not as difficult to grow. Scott describes winemaking as an art, and the science part is important but secondary. He started by making wine at home. He was lucky to work for a family in Dry Creek Valley who allowed him to make wine there, as part of his compensation. Today his artistic expression comes through his winemaking, instead of sculpture. 

Recorded high above the valley floor in Silverado's Stags Leap estate, this episode with winemaker Alison Rodriguez dives into both Napa viticulture and her global winemaking journey. Alison unpacks the 2025 growing season—early bud break, late rains, and the shadow of El Niño—while describing the constant tension between picking early for safety and waiting for full ripeness in a fire-prone era. She explains what it means to farm 325 acres of 100% estate vineyards, how early-season decisions set up harvest success, and how she manages tannin and extraction in small-berry hillside Cabernets, including the tradeoffs of pressing sweet to keep structure in balance. Alison also shares how a Baton Rouge upbringing and a career in wine sales led her to **Geisenheim** in Germany, European cellar work, and ultimately Napa. She explains the German technique of *Maischestandzeit* for aromatic whites, her evolving approach to Sauvignon Blanc at Silverado (skin contact, neutral barrel ferment, and textural focus), and how she thinks about acid, phenolics, and oak as part of a single matrix. The conversation ranges across Silverado's portfolio—from estate Cabernet blending **Stags Leap and Coombsville**, to Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot, Kerner, and old-vine Chardonnay—before closing on the smells of her Louisiana childhood, Napa's collaborative winemaking culture, and why she's still betting on Riesling's long-overdue comeback.

Tony Lombardi from Lombardi Wines is our guest on California Wine Country with Dan Berger and Daedalus Howell. This is his first time on the show. The winery is located in the Petaluma Gap, which we have described in many recent episodes. This episode from 2018 is about the 3rd anniversary of the Petaluma Gap AVA, We start with Chardonnay, which Dan says is in the mold of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, which is an estate in Burgundy, in the Côte d’Or region in east-central France. They produce red and white wines of distinction. If you visit DRC, as it is known, they serve the reds first, then the whites. They believe in the richness and the full-bodied character of Le Montrachet. Dan says that this wine from Lombardi wines has that character which makes it an exciting wine.-•• • --- -•• --- .–. .-California Wine Country is brought to you by Deodora Estate Vineyards. Visit Deodora to discover 72 acres in the Petaluma Gap that produce exceptional Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling. Sip the difference! -•• • --- -•• --- .–. .- The Lombardi Family The Lombardi family has been in Sonoma County since the ’40s. Tony has been a winemaker for 30 years. He grew up in Sebastopol and calls Sonoma County the Garden of Eden. Tony is happy to work with a friend from high school named Mike Sullivan. He got access to a few tons of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the Maratella vineyard in the Russian River Valley. Tony only made 8 barrels of this wine. He used one old barrel, seven new ones, and some stainless steel. He fermented different vineyards together, then they went into different barrels. Later he blended them all together. Dan calls it a classic example of a Russian River Valley Chardonnay. It has just a hint of oak. Tony wants the oak to just capture the edges and round it out. You want subtleness and integration, so you you catch a little bit of crème brulée, or lemon curd, or minerality. Dan says, put this wine with the right food and it get better. Tony suggests Dustin Valette’s Scallops en croute. If a Chardonnay is too buttery and oaky, it can overpower the flavors in the food. Dan noticed that Russian River Valley Chardonnay has citrus flavors that contribute to the acidity. It’s something you don’t want to lose in your blending. This vineyard is west of the town of Santa Rosa. It has some inland warmth compared to his place in Petaluma Gap. Next they taste two Pinot Noirs. In Tony’s career he has learned about regions and wines from all over the world. Now he has settled into Chardonnay and Pinot Noir which he likes for their versatility. Every March, he is part of a festival called Pigs and Pinot. Tony can blend a couple of barrels of Gap’s Crown vineyard in with the Russian River Valley fruit. 

In dieser Folge trifft Markus erneut Frank Boon – eine der prägenden Figuren der belgischen Lambic- und Gueuze-Welt. Die beiden sprechen im Rahmen des HBCon in Alsfeld – ausgerechnet in einem Weinkeller – über die Nähe von Wein und Lambic und warum eine gute Gueuze aromatisch eher beim Riesling als beim Pils zuhause ist. Frank nimmt uns mit in die Welt der Holzfässer: von kleinen „Brüsseler Tonnen“ bis zu riesigen Lagerfässern, die einst in Brauereien standen, später in französischen Weingütern landeten – und heute wieder in Belgien Lambic reifen lassen. Er erklärt, warum große Fässer die Säure „besser erziehen“, weshalb alte Fässer für Brettanomyces-Kulturen so entscheidend sind und warum neue Fässer oft erst nach vielen Jahren wirklich „Lambic“ schmecken. Nebenbei wird klar: Fasspflege ist nicht nur Technik, sondern Handwerk – und Boon hat sich das über Jahrzehnte selbst aufgebaut, vom Reparieren kleiner Fässer bis zur Arbeit mit meterlangen Dauben. Dann geht es um die belgische Bierkultur als Weltkulturerbe und die „Belgian Beer World“ in der Brüsseler Börse: Frank erzählt, wie schwierig es war, ein Museum zu gestalten, das sowohl Touristen ohne Bierwissen als auch Beer-Nerds abholt – und warum das Konzept bewusst „in Schichten“ funktioniert, inklusive Hefetheater und Rooftop-Bar über den Dächern Brüssels. Zum Schluss wird's historisch: Für Frank liegt der Kern der belgischen Bierkultur nicht in einem einzelnen Stil, sondern in den Städten – jede mit ihrem eigenen Bier. Und er erklärt, wie Lagerbier, Konsolidierung und Qualitätsprobleme in den 60ern viele Traditionen fast verschwinden ließen – und warum am Ende alles an einem Punkt hängt: Qualität. Ohne Qualität bleibt nur Geschichte.

In this show rather than one wine legend, I talk about a team of people who saved the wine world from The Great French Wine Blight of the 1860s – 1890s, which turned out to be caused a destructive, insect called phylloxera that came to Europe on American grapevines. I discuss the contributions of eight people who worked together and across continents to collectively save the European grapevine, Vitis vinifera, from extinction. Today, we drink Pinot Noir, Cabernet, Chardonnay, Riesling, and Syrah all because of the efforts of these people. This podcast is the story of what they did and how they did it.   I discuss the contributions of: Jules-Émile Planchon Gaston Bazille CV Riley Hermann Jaeger George Hussman TV Munson Leo Laliman Pierra Viala All played key roles in identifying the cause of vine death in France, and finding the solutions that would work best.    This is an important story of wine legends all wine lovers should know about!

Buckle up, we're heading back out into wine country, this time to the intriguing Adelaide Hills wine region in South Australia. It gets talked about a lot - but what's it really all about?Is it all about piercing, textural Chardonnay? Or fine sparkling wine? What about the perfumed Pinot Noir, the scented Shiraz..? And let's not forget the likes of Gruner Veltliner, Nebbiolo, Gamay, Barbera, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and all those natural wines. There's a real buzz around the Adelaide Hills - but how to get our heads round it all?!Happily, we have some brilliant guides in the shape of Brian Croser (Tapanappa), David LeMire MW (Shaw + Smith), Emma Wood (Wirra Wirra), Kelly Wellington (Hahndorf Hill), Liam Van Pelt (Ashton Hills), Peter Saturno (Longview) and Xavier Bizot (Daosa/Tapanappa). (Thanks also to the Adelaide Hills Wine Region for making this sponsored episode happen and giving us access to such great producers.) They talk us through things like altitude, rain, field blends, magic, wine tourism, French arrogance, organics and 'thoughtful' wines. There's even the odd bold claim (about Chardonnay) and intriguing revelation of a long-held secret (a 'subterfuge story' no less!) Oh, and we touch on why, 'people don't want to drink like their dads.'Thanks for tuning in. We love to hear from you so please do get in touch! Send us a voice message via Speakpipe.
