Join us as we explore the right bank of Bordeaux—its terroir, centuries-old wine history, and how it compares to the left bank.

The right bank of Bordeaux is home to smaller, artisan producers. Saint-Émilion boasts over 2,000 years of continuous winemaking history. Figeac's gravel-rich terroir makes it ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2011 vintage of Château Figeac is underrated and offers excellent value. There are notable style differences between wines from the right bank and left bank. Proper food pairings can significantly elevate the wine tasting experience. Blind tasting reveals the challenge of distinguishing right vs left bank Bordeaux. Wine pricing fluctuates widely between auctions, restaurants, and retail. The elegance and complexity of Bordeaux wines shine best when enjoyed in a dining setting.

As part of the series on the greatest wines in the world, I cover Saint-Émilion on the Right Bank of Bordeaux. With its legacy of winemaking, its unique terroir, and its small producers who are constantly innovating and improving, this region is indisputably one of the top in the wine world.   As with all the regions in "The Greats" series, I go in depth on the fascinating history of Saint-Émilion, the complex terroir, the (convoluted) classification, and the grapes and flavors that are possible from this outstanding "Great."   As promised, here are the Premiers Grands Crus Classes A & B from the 2022 Classification...

Château Talbot is a 4th Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Julien in the Médoc of Left Bank of Bordeaux. It's an historic and large property – its vineyards extend over 110 hectares/272 acres in a single block. The story of Talbot is a long and interesting one, but the chapter being written by the current family and management of the Château may be the best yet. With extreme dedication to quality, an eye towards the environment and careful winemaking, Talbot has a focus on making unbelievable wine that overdelivers for the price, vintage after vintage.   In this show, General Manager of Château Talbot, Jean-Michel Laporte, joins to discuss Saint-Julien and Talbot. Photo: Jean-Michel Laporte. From  Château Talbot.    We discuss: Saint-Julien and it's terroir. We talk about how it stacks up to the other communes on the Left Bank and even discuss comparisons with the Right Bank, where Jean-Michel got his start The history and terroir of Talbot. The château is hundreds of years old, but got it's name from an English general who won Bordeaux back from the French in the 1400s! Photo: The Chai of Château Talbot. From the Château site.    Winemaking, aging, their amazing chai (barrel room, pic above), spectacular vintages and how long to hold both the Grand Vin -- Chateau Talbot and the second wine, Connetable de Talbot. We also discuss Caillou Blanc, their fascinating white wine! Château Talbot makes excellent wines. They are around US $70 and although that will set you back, it is so high quality and over delivers for the price. If you have some extra money at some point, and want to invest in a wine to age,  this is one to seek. I love the floral and dark fruit aromatics, the complexity, the medieval church notes, the earth, and the perfect tannin and acidity.  Saint-Julien is indeed, incredibly balanced, and Château Talbot is a great example of the AOC. ________________________________________________________________________ Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon. Become a member today! www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople _______________________________________________________________   Check out my exclusive sponsor, Wine Access.  They have an amazing selection -- once you get hooked on their wines, they will be your go-to!

We generally have pretty good luck with Kirkland wines, and we put our good fortune to the test in this episode by tasting the 2022 Napa Valley Red Blend vs. two other Bordeaux-style blends. How did the Kirkland wine do?!? Well . . . we don't want to give too many spoilers, but let's just say that we gave it a fair shot. We also dig into what exactly Bordeaux-style blends are because, let's face it, when a wine says it is a “red blend” that could mean a whole bunch of things. So, we demystify what Bordeaux-style blends are and how to tell if a wine is one, and we also go into some detail about the difference between wines made in Bordeaux and wines made in Napa Valley - two of the most famous and highly prized wine regions in the world. While they share a lot of similarities in terms of the grapes they use, they are pretty different when it comes to winemaking, and we tell you why.  2022 Kirkland Signature Napa Valley Red Blend, 2021 Market Vineyards Derivative Red Wine,  2019 Château Michel de Montaigne Bergerac Bordeaux Blend.Send us a Text Message and we'll respond in our next episode!Contact The Wine Pair Podcast - we'd love to hear from you!Visit our website, leave a review, and reach out to us: https://thewinepairpodcast.com/Follow and DM us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewinepairpodcast/Send us an email: joe@thewinepairpodcast.com

Snag Our Simplified Budget System! We talk with Cassie, a nurse and mom of two from Texas, who's balancing life with an “irregular” income and a family calendar that's booked to the brim. Cassie's husband works in the oil industry, which comes with unique income fluctuations—and when he's home, it's all about making memories and taking advantage of family time, a mindset that can put savings goals on hold. They explore how Cassie and her husband can save for their big dreams (a forever home, a cheerleading fund, and even that sweet Disneyland budget!) without sacrificing the lifestyle they love. Key Takeaways: Embrace the Savings Buckets System: For big priorities like a home down payment or family vacations, separate savings accounts (a.k.a. “savings buckets”) can help you earmark funds without needing to track every single purchase. Structure Irregular Income for Peace of Mind: For those with variable income, budgeting around the lowest expected income helps keep bills and essentials covered. When those extra-good paychecks come in, that “bonus” can go straight toward dreams and savings goals. Automate Everything: Once you set up automatic transfers and define your spending categories, there's no need for constant manual tracking. You're free to focus on family, work, and all those weekend trips while knowing your financial goals are getting funded! Find Your Financial “Yes” and “No”: Cassie and the ladies chat about the pressures parents feel to “be there” at every practice or spend time socializing. But taking back some of those hours for budgeting or self-care can ultimately be a powerful way to support the family's dreams. Choose the Right Bank for You: Not all banks offer the flexibility you might need for multiple accounts without fees. The team recommends starting with a bank that prioritizes ease of use with digital savings and checking accounts, like Ally or a local credit union. Cassie's main lesson from the episode? The power of setting up systems that work in the background, so you can spend time where it matters most. 4 Ways To Connect With Us: 1️⃣ FREE CALL: Book your FREE 20-Minute Financial Coaching Call now!

Sip, share, shape our podcast!You may never have heard of the Cotes of Bordeaux. Great, we're here to share this amazing Bordeaux appellation and Bordeaux wine with you through our interview with Bruno Lallemand from Chateau Couchebout in the Cotes de Bourg region. Neither Left Bank nor Right Bank, Couchebout produces amazing red wines in their own Bordeaux red blend style. Cabernet, Merlot, and Malbec taking center stage while Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc are more common grape varieties in other Bordeaux Appelations.Wineries, or château, such as Couchebout thrive in the unpredictable weather patterns found in Bordeaux as they plant their hectares with the best red varietals for Mother Nature's surprises. Search Bordeaux maps for the Côtes and you'll find Blaye, Castillon, Cadillac and Francs, but Bourg plays it's own game keeping separate from the others. Bruno shares why this is so and also ties into our TRENDS series with stories on the winery's sustainability, alternative packaging for local wine and other stories of his wine adventure, travels and guide to the region!Support the showThanks for joining Somm Women Talk Wine!

The Cabernet Sauvignon refresh was episode 535, so I thought that on the heels of that it was time to do a refresh Cab Sauv's parents. This week is the Cabernet Franc refresh and next week will be Sauvignon Blanc, so you can have the full picture of the parents and the offspring.  Cabernet Franc is an underrated grape and things seem to be changing rapidly with it these days. In the past, it has often been used purely as a blending grape, except in the Loire Valley, but today it's taking center stage. Producers and wine drinkers have realized that if the best wines of Château Cheval Blanc on the Right Bank of Bordeaux, have a higher proportion of Cabernet Franc, maybe there is something to this grape that should be explored.    Although Cab Franc still doesn't have widespread popular acclaim, it is extremely important in the wine world. Today –it  grows everywhere from France, Italy, the United States, Chile, Argentina, Canada, Hungary, Washington State, Croatia, Israel, South Africa, Turkey, Slovenia, Uruguay, and more. Plantings are growing and I see a bigger future for this grape.    In this show I cover: The origins and DNA of the grape Cab Franc in the vineyard Aromas and flavors Regions: France: Loire, Bordeaux, Southwest France Italy: Veneto, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Bolgheri Hungary: Villány Canada United States: Finger Lakes, Long Island, Virginia, and a little bit on Napa, Sonoma, and Washington South America: Argentina, Chile I cover food pairings and serving temperatures too.     Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon. Become a member today! www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople _______________________________________________________________   Check out my exclusive sponsor, Wine Access.  They have an amazing selection -- once you get hooked on their wines, they will be your go-to!

Confused by how to tell what is in a Bordeaux wine? We feel you! It's confusing because there are a wide variety of grapes and blends to be found in Bordeaux wines and they don't usually tell you on the label, but we have some secrets to share about how you can start to figure it out. Also, we think that, whether you are a Cabernet Sauvignon lover or not, you owe it to yourself to taste and try Bordeaux wines, especially Left Bank Bordeaux wines, so you can start to learn the way Cabernet Sauvignon wines were meant to be made. Unlike the punch-you-in-face style of California Cabs, Left Bank Bordeauxs have more nuance and balance. In this episode, we taste a Right Bank and Left Bank Bordeaux, and we think we found at least one wine that is more than worthy of adding to your list of wines to buy!

When a winery has the highest of aspirations to make the best wines from the Niagara terroir the Bat Signal will go out to winemakers Ann Sperling and Peter Gamble!! They are the Batman and Batman of extracting the best out of the Niagara region. On the latest ‘Matt Talks Wine & Stuff with Interesting People' Podcast I bring back Ann (Third time on the Pod) and Peter (Second time) to go over their latest project, Dobbin Estate Winery. This passion project by Wade Dobbin started in 2018 after the acquisition of their prized vineyards needed some of the best minds in the land which Wade got with Ann and Peter. This was an epic interview that also featured Assistant Winemaker Dave Brennan and Dobbin Estate General Manager Nathan Dobbin and included tasting their Chardonnay, two wildly different Rieslings and a Right Bank style Bordeaux Blend.

Resident podcast host Tree chats with Guy Seddon (Head of Fine Wine Buying) and Joe Muller (Head of Monopole) about their recent visit to Bordeaux to scope out the 2023 vintage. In this episode, they give a detailed overview of the growing season, the expected release prices and, of course, the wines themselves. Both Joe and Guy also recap their top wines of the trip from both the Right Bank and Left Bank, along with discussing the potential future of the en primeur system.

When you have sold some of the most luxurious brands in the world, what does adding Chateau Angelus to the list mean? Actually, it means quite a bit.  Chateau Angelus was awarded Premiere Cru Classee "A" when the Right Bank of Bordeaux began classifications in 1955. This puts the Chateau at the top of the region's rankings, which is a significant achievement. Yves de Launay, who has promoted brands such as Sotheby's, Louis XIII Cognac, LVMH, and Cartier, would seem to be a natural fit for promoting Chateau Angelus. During a recent trip to Los Angeles to taste the latest releases of Chateau Angelus, Wine Talks was on his list of "things to do." It seems that being at the top is just as hard, if not harder, than trying to get to the top. Everyone is trying to knock you off, and any small shift in your stature could be a disaster. It is Yves' job to ensure that this doesn't happen Have a listen.

EVIDENCE-BASED BIRTH PRACTICES MAKE BIRTH HEALTHIER AND SAFER FOR MOTHERS AND BABIESAt The Eudaimonia Center, we know what makes birth safe for mothers and babies AND standard maternity care in the United States is not evidence-based and does not reflect this knowledge. Therefore, the health-care provider and place of birth will influence the care that Mom receives in powerful ways. The result is that birth is less safe for mothers and babies than it should be, causing harm where it could be avoided.The World Health Organization identifies four care practices that promote, support, and protect normal birth. Lamaze International identifies two additional practices. Together, these six practices are supported by research, including systematic reviews from The Cochrane Library and the Coalition for Improving Maternity Services (2007). Written for women and their families, the Lamaze Healthy Birth Practice papers describe the importance of each of the six practices for a healthy, safe birth and provide a synopsis of the evidence that supports each practice. Every pregnant woman needs to know that these six evidence-based birth practices make birth healthier and safer for mothers and babies.Healthy Birth Practice #1: Let Labor Begin on Its OwnHealthy Birth Practice #2: Walk, Move Around, and Change Positions Throughout LaborHealthy Birth Practice #3: Bring a Loved One, Friend, or Doula for Continuous SupportHealthy Birth Practice #4: Avoid Interventions That Are Not Medically NecessaryHealthy Birth Practice #5: Avoid Giving Birth on the Back, and Follow the Body's Urges to PushHealthy Birth Practice #6: Keep Mother and Baby Together – It's Best for Mother, Baby, and BreastfeedingBirth is intended to happen simply... without worry or trouble.About Our Guest:Gina Mundy is an attorney specializing in childbirth cases.

This is the weekly columnTerroir is that baffling French term you often encounter with wine. There is another French term that sums up the meaning of terroir—je ne sais quoi [something that cannot be fully described or expressed].In broadest terms, terroir means an entire combination of factors—soil, climate, sunlight, people working the vineyard and the winery, natural yeasts, water, the kitchen sink. That confusing combination of factors makes wine from one place different than wine from another place. Typical wine snob nonsense, right? Well, it turns out hard science has proved there is something to it.In a recent report in the journal Communication Chemistry, Dr. Alex Pouget, a computational neuroscientist and his colleagues at the University of Geneva, decided to test if a computer could pinpoint estates in Bordeaux based only on a particular wine's chemical makeup determined by gas chromatography, a method for breaking down substances into their molecular components.The scientists trained an algorithm to seek common patterns in the chemical fingerprints from a database of 80 wines of various vintages from seven Bordeaux châteaus. The results shocked the scientists. The model identified wines in distinct groups that nailed their exact locations in Bordeaux. Voila! Terroir!The research showed particular qualities of vineyard locations dramatically influenced the wine's chemistry. Terroir worked on the molecular level, just as winemakers and wine writers have been noting for centuries. In fact, all the wines tested were part of the 1855 Bordeaux classification system that was based on—wait for it—terroir.The scientists anticipate replicating results elsewhere, given large enough databases and strict controls. Many wines are made from grapes from several different vineyards, so terroir is not a factor, and no winemakers or wine writers claim such. But wine made from grapes from a specific place? That can be specifically identified according to folks with white coats, advanced degrees, and a gas chromatograph.It remains to be tested what, if any, bottle age may affect results. But now, if you believe in science, there is hard, empirical proof that “terroir” is not hoity-toity wine hokum.Tasting notes• Comtesse de Malet Roquefort Bordeaux Rouge 2020: Supple, sauve, soft, juicy, fresh Right Bank mostly merlot. $15-18 Link to my review• Bryn Mawr Vineyards Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, Oregon 2019: Delicious, delicate—as superb pinot noir should be.

The 2004 movie Sideways did a number on Melort, hurting its reputation and suppressing sales. But was that impact justified? Did we judge Merlot too harshly? Is it time to let Merlot rejoin the cool kids table?!? In this episode, we give Merlot a fighting chance to win back a place in our hearts - and our cellar. We admit we are not the biggest fans of Merlot, but can one of these wines change our mind? We selected three highly rated wines, all under $20, and two from the Bordeaux region of France, to see if we could find a Merlot that convinced us that it is deserving reconsideration. And guess what - we found one!!! We also talk a bit about the history of Merlot, and the so-called Sideways effect.

It's time to unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and let's begin Exploring the Wine Glass! Today I am sharing with you a Zoom event I attended about Bordeaux Terroir. Terroir is defined as the complete natural environment in which a particular wine is produced, including factors such as the soil, topography, and climate. It also relates to the characteristic taste and flavor imparted to a wine by the environment in which it is produced. Bordeaux is a very regulated wine region and I am a believer that you can taste their soils in the glass. Whether you are in the Left or the Right Bank, within the AOCs there are differences that present themselves in the glass. Join me as I learn more about the soils of Bordeaux in this seminar presented by Benchmark Wine.

This podcast is a refresher on Merlot (it's been 12 years, so it's time!). It's one of the titans of the wine grapes, and yet it's not often that we encounter it as a varietal wine. Because it is frequently blended, Merlot can often be forgotten or not given its due.   But Merlot will not be forgotten! It is the second-most planted grape in the world, the most widely grown grape in Bordeaux, and its pedigree as part of some of the world's most prestigious and well-known Bordeaux and Bordeaux-style wines makes it royalty in the wine world.   But Merlot is not without challenges. When it's not grown on the proper soils or managed meticulously, wine made of Merlot bears little resemblance to great wines of Bordeaux or other regions that are famed for blends that use it. The reputation of Merlot as a boring, flabby, dull wine is not the fault of the grape, and although it was a convenient scapegoat, it's also not the fault of the movie “Sideways.” The fact is that Merlot is not as easy to grow as people thought, and in 1980s and 1990s, opportunistic companies used high-yielding clones on bad rootstock and in bad sites to churn out high alcohol fruit bombs, lacking all the nuance that make the grape esteemed in its homeland.     This says nothing about the grape, but much about the people who defiled it. Although it is entirely capable of making boring, cheap wine, Merlot simultaneously makes up 95% of Château Petrus, Bordeaux's most expensive wine and is used in fine wines all over the world for its ability to elevate a blend. In this show we pay homage to Merlot, and this time, shed some light on the recent past for Merlot and why, ultimately, it has done little to harm the grape's reputation among winemakers and those who take the time to know the grape.   DNA and Parentage Merlot originates from Gironde or SW France or Basque country. It's the child of Cabernet Franc and Magdeleine Noire des Charentes from Brittany Merlot Gris: Pink color mutation of Merlot Merlot Blanc: A cross of Merlot x Folle Blanche created in 1891 NOT WHITE MERLOT, which is just Merlot made like white Zinfandel   History We discuss the history of Merlot – from its first mention in Bordeaux, to its more modern history - its rise in the 1990s and its fall in the early 2000s in California, Australia, and the global consumer market.       In the Vineyard Merlot is an early budding variety, making it susceptible to spring frost – it needs good weather at flowering or it won't have a great vintage. The grape needs cooler, well-drained soils – cooler limestone and clay soils are best Because Merlot is thin skinned with loose to medium density bunches it is also susceptible to disease (downy mildew) and botrytis (bad). It is bad in drought, which raises the question: how will it do with climate change, which we discuss. Merlot ripens about 2 weeks earlier than Cabernet Sauvignon and it's the first red grape picked in Bordeaux. That makes it a great agriculture hedge – if it does well, there is less pressure to have a huge Cabernet Sauvignon harvest. The grape has milder tannins, higher sugar, and lower acidity (especially malic) than its relations Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. It can be vigorous, so yields must be managed and picking decision is important, since Merlot loses acidity quickly once ripe. Two main styles result from picking decisions (among other factors – terroir!): Bordeaux style: Merlot is harvested earlier, leading to a more acidic, medium alcohol wine (Pétrus). These wines tend to have moderate alcohol and show more red fruit flavors (cherry) along with “other” things like: green and black tea, mint, oregano, rosemary, sage, thyme, earthy, mushrooms, green pepper, green olive International style: Concentrates on physiological ripeness, with long hang time to have hardened stems and seeds (wines of Michel Rolland). These wines are often inky, purple, dark wines, with high alcohol, velvety tannins, and dark fruit character (plum, blackberry, blueberry). The wine is smooth and can seem sweet due to the high alcohol, strong fruit, and the oak used that brings flavors like caramel, chocolate, coffee, vanilla, nut, and cigar.   _____________________________________________________ Regions: the grape is planted everywhere! This is more or less a list…     FranceMerlot is France's most planted grape   Bordeaux Bordeaux is the grape's native home, and it is the most cultivated grape in the region. It contains half of all the Merlot in France. The grape does best on cooler limestone and clay soils of the Right Bank and in pockets of the Left Bank. Climate change is a challenge for Merlot – it will need to be grown exclusively in cooler spots as the climate warms Right Bank Pomerol: Can be up to 100% Merlot. Wine is luscious, soft, velvety, plummy, iron or clay-like. Famed châteaux are Pétrus, Le Pin Émilion: Usually contains 60-70% Merlot with Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon. Flavors are more like balsam, dried fruit, with tea notes, but the wines vary based on limestone, clay or sand content in the soil. Famed châteaux mentioned are Angelus and Pavie Other high quality Right Bank AOPs with Merlot based wines: Canon-Fronsac, Fronsac, St-Émilion “satellites” (Lussac St. Emilion, Montagne St. Emilion, Puisseguin St. Emilion and St. Georges St. Emilion)   Left Bank A major blending component of AOPs: Graves, Médoc, Saint-Estèphe, Listrac, Moulis, Pessac-Leognan   Other Bordeaux: all Côtes de Bordeaux (I recommend Francs and Castillon), Bordeaux and Bordeaux Superieur AOPs     Southwest France: Bergerac where it is blended with Cabernets, Cahors where it is blended with Malbec Languedoc and Loire grow Merlot     Italy: Merlot is the third most planted red in Italy and is made in a number of styles In Northern Italy: Alto-Adige, Friuli, parts of Veneto: the wines often have higher acidity, herbal notes and can be blended with other grapes. Tuscany: Super Tuscan blends in Bolgheri/Tuscan coast – producers use Merlot to soften Sangiovese or Cabernet in blends. Masseto by Antinori is 100% Merlot on clay soils (it costs more than US$1000 per bottle). Climate change is worrisome in these areas because it is getting too hot for Merlot. Other regions: Umbria, Lazio     Other Western/Central Europe: Spain: Catalonia, Castilla-La Mancha, Navarra, Aragón Portugal Switzerland: In Ticino made as a rosé Germany: Pfalz, Rheinhessen Austria: grown in all wine-growing regions in Austria, basic wines     Eastern Europe: Bulgaria: Significant plantings, varietal wines Hungary: In Bull's Blood (Egri Bikaver) with Kekfrankos, Kardarka Romania: Most widely exported red Croatia, Slovenia (near Italian border), Ukraine, Moldova, Greece,   _____________________________________________________ United States   Washington State: Excellent Merlot with strong acidity, dark color, and lots of interesting earthy, fruity flavor. The long growing season with cool nights lends the wine great structure. This is my top pick for US Merlot! Producers mentioned: Leonetti, Chateau Ste. Michelle, Andrew Will, Columbia Crest Regions mentioned: Walla Walla, Red Mountain     California In the early days of California wine, Merlot was a varietal wine. Sterling was the first to make a vintage dated Merlot. Warren Winiarski, a leader in California wine in the 1970s and owner of Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, promoted Merlot as part of a Bordeaux blend We recap a bit of the story of how it evolved in California that we discussed earlier in the show. Then we talk about some of the styles in various regions   Napa: Producers usually dedicate the best soils and sites to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot is an afterthought. Right now there is a bit of a shortage of Merlot because no one has focused on it but demand is increasing as styles have changed. Top Producers: Duckhorn, Pride, La Jota Regions mentioned for Merlot: Carneros, Mt Veeder, Rutherford, Oakville     Other California:  Monterey (bulk), Sonoma (Alexander Valley, some Sonoma Valley)     Other US: Oregon (Rogue Valley), Virginia. Long Island (great stuff! Merlot is their best grape), Texas     Mexico, Canada (most prominent in BC for Bordeaux style blends)   _____________________________________________________ Southern Hemisphere   Chile:  Producers mistook Carménère for Merlot in the 1990s but they've slowly gotten back to real Merlot. Top areas: Colchagua (Apalta sub AVA), Maule, Curicó. I mention the famed wine writer     Argentina: Merlot is made in a ripe style, often blended in with other grapes     Australia: The grape is often used for blending with Cabernet, but had similar issues to California when demand rose in the 1990s – Merlot was overplanted in warm bulk areas like Murray Darling, Riverina, Riverland.  Today, quality Margaret River and Western Australia.     New Zealand: Merlot is the second most planted after Pinot Noir. It does especially well in blends coming out of Hawke's Bay. Merlot also does well in Auckland, Marlborough, and Martinborough     South Africa: Cooler sites in Stellenbosch, Paarl, Franschhoek       Other places: Israel, Lebanon, India, Japan, China     Suggested food pairings Cabernet style ("big wines"): Roasted, grilled food, “brown food” – hearty stews, meats, heavy dishes Soft, fruity styles with high acidity: Mushroom, salmon, spinach, greens   We end with a warning about serving temperature: NEVER SERVE MERLOT TOO WARM!! 60˚–65°F _______________________________________________________________ I could not be happier to announce my partnership with Wine Access, once again.

In late 1930 as Zelda Fitzgerald remained hospitalized in a sanitarium trying to regain her sanity her husband cranked out a frenzied series of stories to pay for her treatment. Out of this whirlwind of effort came "Babylon Revisited," which appeared originally in the February 21, 1931, issue of the Saturday Evening Post and later anchored the fourth and final story collection of his life, Taps at Reveille (1935). "Babylon" is the mack daddy of all Fitzgerald stories, widely hailed as the best of his short fiction and his most widely anthologized. This episode asks why the story enjoys that exalted status. While celebrating its virtuoso craftsmanship and complex characterization, we also note that the story appeals in part because it offers such a capsule portrait of the Fitzgeralds' own biographical tragedy, a hymn to their own self-destruction against the sudden shift from the Boom to the Great Depression. The story also captures the romance of expatriate Paris, which many of its central sites---the Right Bank's Ritz Bar, most famously---still attracting Fitzgerald fans galore each year. This story is hard to top, but we also recognize that it's important not to let its reputation overshadow his other stories.  

Working with a bank shouldn't be just another expense. Instead, seek a financial partner who will actively facilitate your success.   In this episode, FC Bank president Jenny Saunders shares her view of banking from thirty years of experience and breaks down the ideal banking relationship.   Jenny encourages you to pursue the right bank and to create an honest, open relationship built on trust. The best banks do more than manage your money; they help you apply for loans, lines of credit, and funding. They keep your money safe and streamline your transactions.     If your current bank is more of a hindrance than a help, break up with them and find a financial partner who will treat you right.   Tune in for a banker's perspective on banking relationships, advances in modern banking, advice on finding the right banker, and tips on improving your banking relationship.   Topics discussed in this episode:  The state of the economy Key financial areas to watch for construction What to look for in a banking partner Programs and services banks offer SBA/PPP loans and the changing landscape of retail How to have a productive relationship with your bank The importance of community involvement Smaller banks adapting to new technology Banks tailoring service to best fit customers Strategies to increase employee retention   Send Jenny an email or give her a call   For more Construction Disruption, listen on https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/construction-disruption/id1585213239 (Apple Podcasts) or https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMw9xVe_yEaU927JaM-q8-iwdPl4wsZzf (YouTube) Connect with us on https://www.facebook.com/isaiahindustries (Facebook), https://www.instagram.com/isaiahindustries/ (Instagram), or https://www.linkedin.com/company/isaiah-industries-inc./ (LinkedIn) This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrp Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

Just before the credit crunch in 2009, Wall Street brokerage firms and stockbrokers aggressively marketed what appeared to be safe and conservative Lehman Brothers structured notes and we all know how that turned out. The big losses that investors suffered and the ripple effect it had across the world have led to some investors steering well clear of these securities. Wealth Migrate and their deal partner, Cashbox Global, however, feel that structured notes have evolved substantially since then. Scott Picken, the CEO of Wealth Migrate, told BizNews that structured notes meant that retail investors could invest like the ultra-wealthy, while Riaan van der Vyver from the Global Wealth Group highlighted the benefits of predefined outcomes. Cashbox Global head of product structuring, Andrew Mobsby told BizNews that it is important for investors to pick a structured note supplier with a robust track record. – Linda van Tilburg Learn more about your ad choices.

Two practices I wish I knew twenty years ago ( also a funny dog video https://youtu.be/qfRPg9Qgp-0)   How to manifest AND Keep my big DREAMS to myself Number one:   How to manifest "quickly":.. Create a Blueprint for a life you deserve It involves using your IMAGINATION  MIX in Bold ideas and thinking Live it Then bring that FUTURE to you, TODAY EXAMPLE- The sale of my 40 acres, two houses and the renovated farmhouse into Le Petit Chateau Six years to sell it because I grew to hate the property as it tied me down even though I had staff. I was also working full time in the fine wine industry. I realized that I had to relocate, MOVE from the property to a different state where I could bike, swim .. sail  Florida beach area became my goal. Even though l moved to FLORIDA I was not practicing manifesting. I still hated everything about the NY PROPERTY. I BEGAN to see and feel a new life . I also took an unconventional step and hired an Auctioneer because the real estate agents were useless. It sold quickly within mere days and to the BEST PEOPLE EVER … my neighbors, who didn't want developers, bought the property.

Antoine Gimbert, the export director of Domaines Delon and Leoville Las Cases, discusses Bordeaux's 2019 vintage with James.The '19s "already have this appeal that is quite surprising, in fact," Antoine tells James. "So far these wines are extremely luscious but still supplying a great tension and freshness, and a structure that is extremely interesting."Antoine also tells James about how the 2019 growing season affected the vintage, and how the Right Bank wines so wonderfully express their specific terroirs.

James and Olivier Gailly, the commercial director of Chateau Pavie in Bordeaux, discuss the 2019 vintage."We were all quite impressed in '19 en primeur with the freshness we could get despite a relatively warm year," Olivier tells James. "The good news is that after bottling, the wine really keeps its freshness, so I think that's one main thing we notice on the whole range."James also asks Olivier his opinion about planting cabernet sauvignon in Bordeaux's Right Bank. "We often talk about it here and we say cabernet sauvignon, when it's planted in the right places, meaning it gets ripe, is a really great addition to the blend – we noticed that. And today in the vineyard of Pavie we have 20 percent planted of cabernet sauvignon."

"Paris above ground comes from Paris below ground"

What a treat it is to have Scott Palazzo on In the Circle! A true go your own way, follow your heart and strike gold tale, Scott has done just that and has forever altered, enriched,and elevated the meaning of what a California wine can be. Bringing his first hand French wine making expertise matched with a spectacular palate, Palazzo wines bring a new dimension of old world sophistication spoken in the key of California, Scott is a gift to the culinary world, and to wine drinkers everywhere. We are so pleased to share with you this exploration in conversation with this unique soul.  Scott came to the wine world with a vision formed by both his Italian heritage and his artistic sensibility. Raised in an Italian household, Scott grew up with wine as a backdrop for life's everyday events, meals, and celebrations.An artist at heart... and a rolling stone by nature... his path to becoming one of the top winemakers in Napa Valley took many twists and turns. At age 19, a 3-month trip abroad to Europe evolved into a much longer extended stay, and landed Scott in France. With his guitar on his back, Scott wandered into the small winemaking village of Saint Émilion (on the Right Bank of Bordeaux's Gironde river) and quickly fell in love with the people, the land, and most of all, the wines. This experience shaped his palate and served as inspiration for the establishment of Palazzo Wine 20+ years later.In 2003, after establishing a successful career as a Grammy Nominated Music Video & Television Director / Producer, Scott began exploring California's wine regions with a new creative undertaking in mind... producing a beautifully refined, terroir-driven wine like those he had discovered and enjoyed while living in Saint Émilion, France. His search led him to the Carneros Appellation in Napa Valley, where the similarities between the rolling hills of this South-of-Napa Appellation and those of Saint Émilion convinced him that this was the right location to create his wine. The cool, maritime climate and shallow clay soils of Carneros were ideal for achieving his goal to produce a wine with wonderful layers of rich fruit, balanced by elegant acidity ... like those he'd grown to love while living & working in Bordeaux.Sourcing fruit from some of the most celebrated hillside vineyards in Carneros, Palazzo has realized his dream of producing world-class wines, by combining new world fruit with an old-world sensibility in the cellar. Scott Palazzo's wines have been accepted and embraced by some of thewine world's most respected and influential restaurants, sommeliers, and critics from all over the United States.The French Laundry, Gary Danko, Michael Mina, Per Se, Daniel, Gramercy Tavern, Eleven Madison Park, Spago, Ago, Bouchon, Drago, Redd, Press, Mastro's Steakhouse, Emeril's, Valintino's are just a few of the country's prestigious restaurants who have offered Palazzo Wine on their wine lists!

If you have been sitting at home waiting for the day when I begin comparing grapes to the fame level of early 2000's pop stars then you are in luck, or maybe you will just roll your eyes when you realize that I am a millennial. This episode is all about Merlot, a grape that has had a lot of ups and downs over the last twenty years but has never  left the hearts and minds of wine makers on the Right Bank of Bordeaux, though it was shunned in California for the better part of the 21st century. Why does a grape that get's so much hate make one of the worlds most expensive wines? Well... we're going to get into it. As usual, I got help: The Oxford Companion to Wine by Jancis Robinson. The Complete Bordeaux by Stephen Brook. Inside Bordeaux by Jane Anson. I talk about a lot of wineries, so here is the list of all the Saint Emilion Classified Chateaux: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classification_of_Saint-%C3%89milion_wineAND: Here is the website for Chateau de la Rivière in Fronsac: http://www.chateau-de-la-riviere.com/en/our-grands-vins-de-bordeaux/If you spot something that needs correcting or you would like to request an episode you can reach out at housewinepodcast@gmail.com or check out the House Wine Instagram @housewinepodcast This podcast is 100% independent, it is written, narrated and produced by myself, Rachael so if you heard something you liked then scroll down and leave a comment or review, that is the best way that you can support the show. Until next week, I hope you drink something delicious! Music Credit:Too Cool by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4534-too-coolLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

"Paris was the largest port in France"

Here are 3 key things that you  want to assess when assessing a bank's quality of service:You want a bank that demonstrates a firm understanding of a medical practice's unique cash flow needs. As we all know, medical businesses function differently than a typical business. What services are offered to you and how much they cost is largely impacted by how familiar the financial institution is with medical businesses.You want to understand the bank's responsiveness. For example, how quickly are deposits credited to your account? Are capital requirements met in a timely and efficient manner? For example, if you have a line of credit with them—how easy is it to access? If you need a loan—how many hoops do you need to jump through.  Everything — from tracking an important wire transfer to helping finance an expansion project — should be addressed with speed and efficiency. The bank is there to make your life easier—not be a nosebleed.The bank should be easily accessible to answer questions; provide training on any account-related technologies; and offer insights into how it can meet your banking, financing and treasury management needs. Having a dedicated, single point of contact to address your businesses unique needs is crucial to understanding and anticipating challenges. Your financial partner should be easily accessible to answer questions. Before deciding on a bank ask for references from other medical businesses.Now I want to talk about products and services that you want your bank to offer in order to address the unique financial needs of your medical business.Business checkingThere are several factors that you are going to want to consider: Is a Minimum Balance Required?How quickly do You Have Access to the Funds?How Often Will You Make Withdrawals?How many deposits Will You Be Making?Now that I've talked about banking (and essentially money coming into the bank), let's talk about loans. Revolving line of credit- borrow as much or as little as you need to meet your working capital needsTerm loan- to finance longer term investments like an expansion of your office or opening a new satellite officeFull suite of treasury management products and other services:Lockbox servicesRemote deposit captureBiller and payment solutions Fed EDIFraud protection services While most physician business owners don't spend a lot of time or effort in choosing the right bank for their business doing your due diligence will pay dividends. A good banker will improve your workflow, your revenue cycle management and compliance.For a full searchable copy of the transcript, https://www.thepracticebuildingmd.com/podcastIf you'd like to hear more tips on how to start, run and grow your practice and related medical businesses, please sign up for my newsletter at https://www.thepracticebuildingmd.com.    And, be sure to join my FB group, The Private Medical Practice Academy.

It’s Monday, Let’s raise a glass to the beginning of another week. It’s time to unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and let’s begin Exploring the Wine Glass! Today I am sharing with you a Zoom event I attended about Bordeaux Terroir. Terroir is defined as the complete natural environment in which a particular wine is produced, including factors such as the soil, topography, and climate. It also relates to the characteristic taste and flavor imparted to a wine by the environment in which it is produced. Bordeaux is a very regulated wine region and I am a believer that you can taste their soils in the glass. Whether you are in the Left or the Right Bank, within the AOCs there are differences that present themselves in the glass. Join me as I learn more about the soils of Bordeaux in this seminar presented by Benchmark Wine.

Most couples come into their marriage using not just separate bank accounts, but accounts at separate banks. What's the best way to pick the right bank to use for your new family? In this episode, I share the criteria I use to help couples decide the right banks to use for their joint accounts (and what ones to steer away from!)

On this episode, Ian's Rant focuses on banks and the fact that many aren't offering new business accounts. He then discusses the new breed of Challenger and mobile banks and provides details of the best options, specifically for Property businesses ... analysing accounts from: ANNA: https://anna.money/ (https://anna.money/) Starling: https://www.starlingbank.com/ (https://www.starlingbank.com/) Coconut: https://getcoconut.com/ (https://getcoconut.com/) Monzo: https://monzo.com/ (https://monzo.com/) Revolut: https://www.revolut.com/ (https://www.revolut.com/) Tide: https://www.tide.co (https://www.tide.co) As always, Ian's had many questions land on his desk during the week.

Pease send your questions on any property related subject to ian@propertyonfire.co.uk - he and his highly experienced guests will answer these questions for you on an upcoming episode. ________ A regular podcast from your host Ian Walmsley. Join him every week for a dynamic podcast with Ian and his guests on how to seize the opportunities out there before others do!  You will learn about planning from a developer's eye, you will benefit and learn together from the mistakes that Ian makes. He is very grateful for the opportunities that he has had and would love to share these with you. ________ ABOUT THE HOST Ian Walmsley  is a third-generation experienced developer who loves Planning. Referred to as a ‘Walking Encyclopaedia' by a mentor he developed a passion for planning in 2015 having got fed up with inaccurate information on some websites as to what was possible with property or land that he was looking to develop. In 2017 he set up the site ‘Planning Geek‘ as a way to inform others as to the possibilities of using permitted development rights on both domestic and commercial property. This has now grown to cover many other aspects of planning, giving plenty of ‘wow' moments. To the best of our knowledge, It is now the largest planning website in the UK, apart from the national planning portal. He now speaks around the UK at both property meets and with mentorship groups as a developer/planning geek. As a developer with his company, Leading Homes, he has 40 dwellings under construction with a further 50 plus in legals or pre-construction. The one thing he is not is a Planning Consultant – he is a Planning Geek – although a chartered town planner said ‘Ian knows more about planning than most planners!'. He is simply ‘A developer who loves planning'. As a result he has nothing to sell from his talks, which is always a refreshing change!   CONTACT METHOD Podcast website: https://propertyonfire.co.uk/ (https://PropertyonFire.co.uk) Podcast email: ian@propertyonfire.co.uk Ian's official website: https://ianwalmsley.com/ (https://IanWalmsley.com/) Facebook: https://facebook.com/Ian.C.Walmsley (https://facebook.com/Ian.C.Walmsley) LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/iancwalmsley/ (https://linkedin.com/in/iancwalmsley/) Leading Homes: https://lleadinghomes.co.uk/ (https://LeadingHomes.co.uk) Planning Geek: https://planninggeek.co.uk/ (https://PlanningGeek.co.uk) Planning Geek Facebook Community: https://facebook.com/groups/planninggeek (https://facebook.com/groups/planninggeek) DISCLAIMER The views, thoughts and opinions expressed in this podcast belong solely to the hosts and guest speakers.

The Legende Saint-Emilion Bordeaux 2016 is a blend of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc sourced from contract vineyards in the Saint-Emilion region of the Right Bank of Bordeaux in western France.The Legende brand is Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) line of Bordeaux regional wines. The wines (except for one) are not sourcing grapes from Rothschild estate vineyards, but from growing in some elite growing areas. This makes Legende wines more affordable.Saint-Emilion is on the Right Bank of the Dordogne River, along with Pomerol are the premier Merlot regions. The Right Bank features Merlot-based blends with Cabernet Franc and sometimes Cabernet Sauvignon.The Left Bank will have Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blends along with smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec. Bordeaux wines come at all price points from thousands of dollars for Grand Cru wines to ten bucks for standard blends.The top growing regions, such as Saint-Emilion tend to fetch higher prices with Cru wines at the top end. The Legende Saint-Emilion Bordeaux 2016 showed, with a quick check of the web, to be selling around twenty-five dollars. There was a wide range of prices on either side of $25.It is not uncommon for the average American wine drinker to have limited knowledge of French wines. Bordeaux wines are very location and producer oriented, the who and the where are extremely important. When your knowledge of French wine is limited to reading an article in Wine Spectator while in your Dentist waiting room, who and where can be a mystery.That is where the Legende brand and Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) come in. They have been producing wine in Bordeaux at a high level for a couple of hundred years. You could do worse than choosing them as a starting point.The Legende Saint-Emilion Bordeaux 2016, even though it is a wine from a premier region, is a drink-it-now wine, not meant to be cellared. The current vintage is 2016 and that shows this blend went through a fairly complex production process.The simpler the process the sooner the wine is available for sale. So a wine that needed four years to achieve its balance got the full winemaking treatment.The Legende Saint-Emilion Bordeaux 2016 is 95% Merlot (their website shows the bland to be 85% Merlot and 14% Cabernet Franc, but the back label gives the (95%/5% blend) which by California wine rules would be labeled Merlot and not a blend.Merlot has a softer more rounded feel while Cabernet Franc is tighter and more intense while also adding a different flavor. So the Cab Franc gives the Merlot a little boost.Merlot, for me, especially in the usual value price range is a blending grape. It does not make for bad wine, but it is not memorable. I have had excellent Merlot that was not from France but not often. Merlot from Bordeaux changes all that. Merlot from Bordeaux and Saint-Emilion is outstanding.The Legende was aged for 12 months with only 40% of the wine in French oak barrels. They did not specify how the other 60% was aged, but since the wine was fermented in stainless steel vats these were probably used. The alcohol content is a balanced 13.5%.Legende Saint-Emilion Bordeaux 2016 Tasting NotesThe color is shiny black cherry red. The nose is blackberry, licorice, light herbs, lightly spiced, a little black pepper, and plum. This is a soft, smooth flavorful wine with an edge from the Cabernet Franc and the tannins.It starts with ripe, intense blackberry and licorice, this wine is both soft and smooth and sleek and intense. The Merlot and the Cab Franc show themselves well. There are additional flavors of blueberry, black pepper, raspberry, and dark chocolate, but not sweet.The tannins are there, you can sense them, but they do not interfere with the flavors. The acidity is seamless and balanced.The SummaryThe Legende Saint-Emilion Bordeaux 2016 is a Grand Cru producer's version of an affordable drink-it-now wine.

Department stores in Paris aka Grand Magasins are surprising in many ways. Of course you can shop your heart out and find some of the most wonderful items in Paris, but their history is amazing too! And, that was a surprise to both of us, it has a lot to do with the emancipation of women. In today's episode Elyse discusses the 4 that are left today and what not to miss when you visit them. Department Stores in Paris aka Les Grands Magasins The history of department stores in Paris has a lot to do with what activities were acceptable for women to do outside the home. But the buildings are also gorgeous and worth a visit all by themselves, even for people who aren't big spenders! Les grands magasins mark a revolution in how people shopped. Custom-made items became too expensive and ready-made goods were now a good alternative. Mass production of textiles became possible in the 1840s due to the industrial revolution. If you were a woman of the upper class in the 1800s there weren't a lot of activities that were acceptable for you. You could go to the theater, you could go shopping only accompanied by a man, you could visit parks accompanied by family. But you were not supposed to go wandering on your own. Le Bon Marché Started in 1852 as a Grand Magasin by the Boucicaut family near the métro Sèvres-Babylone. The name "bon marché" means two things in French: good items and inexpensive. Everything they sold was ready-made, prices were good because they sold enough volume, and they could deliver! Something completely new: you could return items you weren't happy with! Women could go shop there and it was acceptable, but the store keepers were mostly men. Eventually Bon Marché started hiring women as sales clerks which was another revolution in the business. Bon Marché advertised a lot and put out catalogs and it was a huge success! So much so that Bon Marché also built a hotel right across the road for all the patrons that came to Paris just to see this new department store. The Bon Marché is the only Grand Magasin on the Left Bank, the other two are near the Opéra Garnier in the Right Bank. Le Printemps Le Printemps grand magasin was inspired by Bon Marché and was started on the right bank in 1865 by two savvy businessmen. This is the biggest department store in Paris in terms of surface. This is the store where the concept of sales was invented. At the end of the year, after Christmas, they decided to make room for new items by discounting the previous year's inventory. Printemps has a gorgeous dome that you can see by going to the Brasserie du Printemps. Follow the signs or ask someone to direct you. There are other cafés and places to eat, but the one under the dome is called "Brasserie du Printemps". A great place to eat in a beautiful environment. A good meal at lunch around 30€. They innovated also with electric elevators which people wanted to see and ride! At Christmas time they have beautiful window displays outside the store. They commission great designers to work on those windows and people come to see them by the thousands! You can have access to the rooftop terrace at Printemps as well as at the next place we'll talk about, which is the Galleries Lafayette. Les Galleries Lafayette The Galleries Lafayette is the only one of the department stores in Paris that has branches all over France. This means that it's a much bigger company. They also opened in 1865. Two cousins from Alsace decided to create this store and they named it after the boulevard. In this store big name clothes makers and cosmetics companies rent space. The building for housewares is spectacular across the street from the building that has the dome. The building is gorgeous and a must-see even if you don't like shopping! They were the first ones to add escalators. The whole center part of the store is open and you can see the dome from street level. There is a glass walk that you can take. It is free but there's usually a long line. When you out onto the glass walk you can be right underneath the center of the glass dome. It is spectacular, but not ideal for folks who are afraid of heights! At the top you'll find a nice cafeteria where you can eat for 20€. It's nothing fancy, but you can look out towards the roofs of Paris. Rooftop access is also free and highly recommended. La Samaritaine This is no longer a department store and it's not going to reopen until some time in 2021. Originally the reopening was slated for 2020, but the pandemic threw a wrench in that. This one is along the Seine River by the Pont Neuf. It was a department store for 135 years, it was built as an Art Nouveau / Art Déco building. We don't know why they other 3 are still going strong and this one has failed commercially. It closed in 2005 and was bought up by LVMH. When it reopens it'll be apartments and stores.

The StoryThe Domaine Angelliaume Chinon 2018 is a $12.99 Costco wine. The winery is Domaine Angelliaume and the name of the wine is Domaine des Falaises which translates to English as Field or Place of the Cliffs which is the name of the estate vineyard that the Cabernet Franc grapes were farmed. The vineyards near the town of Chinon are situated on steep hills leading down to a river that runs through the Loire Valley in France.I mention the name of the winery and the wine name since when I researched this Chinon, most of what is available on the web had the name backward. Since the wine brand name had Domaine in the title most of the writer assumed that had to be the winery. This is a problem for French wines in the United States. In France wine is known by Estate name and location, as in Chinon means that the Red wine is going to be Cabernet Franc or the Right Bank in Bordeaux are going to be Merlot dominated blends near this village and maybe not so much for wine grown near that village. In France, the wine drinkers know this, it is part of their heritage. In the US folks who write about wine and should have a clue can not figure out which is the winery and which is the brand name.Chinon is a town in the Loire Valley that is famous for producing Cabernet Franc single varietal wines, though blending some Cabernet Sauvignon is approved by AOC rules. Chinon and the Loire Valley are located in west-central France, north of Bordeaux and west and south of Champagne. It is a picturesque and historically rich section of France and be on the look-out for the excellent Sauvignon Blanc from the region.The Domaine des Falasises is Domaine Angelliaume "young" Chinon, it is sourced for a vineyard with 40-year old vines and is fermented and aged in cement vats and it is micro oxygenated. Too much oxygen is bad for wine, but this technique adds a controlled dose of air to the wine. It softens the tannins and stabilizes the noes and color and allows the wine to come together quickly. It is a useful technique for drink-it-now wine.Concrete vats are common in France (also Spain) as fermentation and aging vessels. The advantages are that they last a long time and can be used over and over (they are lines to prevent the concrete from leeching into the wine). They are thick enough that the wine inside the vat is kept at a temperature and humidity that is not influenced by the outside air. Wine loves a stable climate and environment and cement vats offer a degree of insolation that steel tanks and wood barrels can not. The alcohol content is 12.5%.Domaine Angelliaume Chinon 2018 Tasting NotesThe color is a dark, bit still see-thru raspberry jelly red. The nose is bright, juicy, and spicey, there is jammy strawberry, exotic spice, soft herbs, black cherry, cinnamon, and orange zest. This is a flavorful Cabernet Franc that is surprisingly ripe and smooth. It starts with blackberry and licorice, a little sizzle from the spice (just a little), followed by sweet blueberry. The mid-palate adds tart cranberry, a light herbal edge, and ripe plum. The tannins are in the flavor mix, but are sweet and do not bite. The acidity brightens up the overall profile of the wine. The finish is sleek and lengthy.The Summary The Domaine Angelliaume Chinon 2018 is a tasty wine, it isn't too heavy, it is not too anything, it is simply a solid well-made Cabernet Franc. If you are intrigued by the Loire Valley and its wines, the twelve ninety-nine Costco Chinon is a pretty decent place to start. This is a young wine, the winery website says drink within 1 to 5 years, but really why wait 5 years. This is a drink-it-now Chinon, most of the Chinon you find on wineshop shelves are probably going to be the more expensive offerings with more complex winemaking procedures to justify the higher price. Start with the younger more affordable wines and work your way up. You never know, the young affordable wines may well be your favor...

Montmartre, including the Basilica of the Sacré-Cœur (Roman Catholic - 1914) Montmartre is primarily known for its artistic history, the white-domed Basilica of the Sacré-Cœur on its summit, and as a nightclub district. The other church on the hill, Saint Pierre de Montmartre, built in 1147, was the church of the prestigious Montmartre Abbey. Montmartre (French pronunciation: [mɔ̃.maʁtʁ]) is a large hill in Paris's 18th arrondissement. It is 130 m (430 ft) high and gives its name to the surrounding district, part of the Right Bank in the northern section of the city. Near the end of the 19th century and at the beginning of the twentieth, during the Belle Époque, many artists lived in, had studios, or worked in or around Montmartre, including: Vincent van Gogh, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Pablo Picasso, Claude Monet, Amedeo Modigliani, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Suzanne Valadon, Piet Mondrian, Pablo Picasso, Camille Pissarro and more.

The StoryThe Chateau Le Grand Moulin Bordeaux 2016 is a blend of 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Malbec from the Estate vineyard in the Blaye Cotes de Bordeaux AOP. This is wine available at Costco for $7.99, I don't think this is a Costco exclusive, on-line retailers seem to sell the same wine for almost twice as much.Chateau Le Grand is a family-owned vineyard and winery founded over 100 years ago.  Blaye AOP is the northern-most growing region in Bordeaux's Right Bank (the big names like Pomerol are located further south).  Merlot is the main grape, but Blaye also produces White wines and Sparkling wine. This is the region that produces everyday wines that is a step up from the value-priced wines.50% of the wines from Bordeaux sell for under $20, which always surprised me since I equated Bordeaux with Napa Valley and not much is value-priced in Napa. The French have a tradition of drinking wine with their meals, so it makes sense that Bordeaux offers reasonably priced wines. Actually every growing region in France, other than Champagne, produces affordable wines. Sometimes the marketing makes it seem like they specialize in high-end wines, but that isn't the case.In Bordeaux, the simple (too simple) explanation is the Left Bank grows Cabernet Sauvignon and the Right Bank farms Merlot, but it is more complicated than that. The soil types change from area to area as do the growing conditions, but most of those details are not as important with value-priced wine. The collectors argue over which year is a good year and which Grand Cru excelled that year. With affordable Bordeaux, a good producer with a quality vineyard is what is important.The Chateau Le Grand Moulin cold maceration before fermentation. Cold Maceration is where they refrigerate the grapes for a few days, this technique helps concentrate the flavors and the color of the wine. After fermentation, this Red blend was aged in cement vats. Cement vats (they are lined to keep the actual cement away from the wine) are thick enough that they insulate the wine from temperature and humidity changes. Wine loves stable aging conditions and cement offers protection that stainless steel tanks and wood barrels can't.Even though this is an 8 buck Red blend the Chateau Le Grand 2016 has received 89 and 90 points from James Suckling and Wine Enthusiast, respectively. While wine points do not mean you will actually like the wine they do indicate that acknowledge professions deemed this a quality- made Bordeaux Red wine. The alcohol content is 13.5%.Bordeaux Tasting NotesThe color is a dark, barely see-thru black cherry red. The nose is blackberry, baking spice, black pepper, tea, dark chocolate, raspberry, and a blast of sweet blueberry. This is a well-balanced wine, it has tannins if you are used to California value-priced wines you might have forgotten how tannins used to be. It tastes of a mix of blackberry, pepper, soft plum, and spice. The mid-palate brings orange zest and dried strawberry pieces, a light hint of cream, and Nestlt Quick powder. This is a French Red blend, it is a different style than California and Washington State Red blends, you would never call this a juicy wine. What it lacks in fruit flavor it makes up for with structure, though it does have good flavor. The tannins are there, they make their presence known, but they do not bite. The acidity gives this Red nice length. The finish is fairly full and of reasonable length.The Summary * I like this wine, it resets my palate.

We have much to be grateful for this year – Patrons, the release of the , and all of you listeners! This is our yearly TG episode. This time we take the traditional pairings and offer some alternatives. You can stick with what you know based on our recommendations or go out on a limb. Either way, we are truly grateful for you, for your tolerance of our Beastie Boys and Hobbit references and for your continued support! Thank you!   Traditional Whites: Riesling Sauvignon Blanc Pinot Grigio Chardonnay Gewurztraminer   Alternative whites: Off-dry Riesling or Chenin Blanc Grüner Veltliner or Verdejo from Rueda Spain Fiano di Avellino, Falanghina, or Soave from Italy White Rhône blends with Roussanne, white Priorat (Spain), or pure Roussanne from a winery like Truchard in Napa or from Savoie (Chignin Bergeron)   If you want… Rosé: Go for something New World with more fruit character. The Provence styles are unpredictable so unless you have a producer you love, go New World   Sparkling: I prefer Champagne but Crémant (which we don’t mention but is a great option), Cava or American Sparkling will work, as will Cap Classique from South Africa. I’m less of a fan of Prosecco. I’m a big fan of drinking the bubbly with food rather than enjoying it just on its own.   Traditional Reds: Pinot Noir Zinfandel Syrah Beaujolais   Alternative Reds: Lighter Garnacha, Bobal, or Mencîa from Spain Austrian reds: St. Laurent, Zweigelt, Blaüfrankisch (as long as they are lighter and not too spicy) Lighter styles of Zinfandel like those from the Dry Creek Valley of Sonoma (we mention Nalle and Peterson as favorites) or Primitivo (still Zin!) from Puglia Pinot Noir but New World styles from Oregon, Santa Barbara, and New Zealand Cabernet Franc from Virginia, New York, and Loire Merlot, especially Merlot from the Right Bank of Bordeaux     Thanks to our sponsors this week: Thanks to YOU! The podcast supporters on Patreon, who are helping us to make the podcast possible and who we give goodies in return for their help!

National Portfolio: Our lineup from Vignobles Saby is on fire these days, especially Chateau Bertin, Chateau Rozier, and Chateau Hauchat. Jeff gets down and dirty with the always loquacious Jean-Phillipe Saby of Vignobles Saby to break down current releases. We also get a sneak peek at a few new upcoming additions, including Chateau Reindent which will replace our entry-level "Chateau Saby" Bordeaux Superieur. There is a raging party going on in the background so apologies if it is a bit crunchy...

The Aubert family has lived in Saint-Émilion on the Right Bank of Bordeaux since 1750 and has a long and successful history as producers of some of Bordeaux’s finest wines. Alaine and Bernadette Aubert own over 600 acres of vineyard property, making them one of the largest family producers on the Right Bank. They run the estate with the help of their three daughters Cécile, Amélie and Héloise, with Amélie the 7th generation of the family to take over the reins of the family’s winemaking responsibilities. The estate centers around the old family home of Château de Ribebon, a magnificent 18th century building that was once a hunting lodge for King Louis XIV, beautifully preserved, on a terrace overlooking the Dordogne River. Thanks to Serge Doré Selections for making this show happen!  Chateaux list: (you can get these at www.winelibrary.com please call them to special order these wines except the Cab Franc!) Château Macard (Bordeaux Superieur) Château de Ribebon Reserve (Bordeaux Superieur Cabernet Franc) Château Hyot (Côtes de Bordeaux -- Castillon) Château Haut-Gravet (St-Émilion Grand Cru 'Grand Chemin') Château Abelyce (St-Émilion Grand Cru)   Here are the topics we cover: We talk about Amélie's family history in Bordeaux and how her mom and dad both came from winemaking families  Amélie discusses her love of the wine business and her passion for tradition, as she got started with her grandfather in the business We talk about the Right Bank -- the grapes (Merlot, Cabernet Franc Cabernet Sauvignon), the land, the climate/vintage variation, the culture etc and how it is different from the Left Bank Amélie discusses the complication of the classification systems in St. Émilion -- the Grands Crus Classés and the controversy around the classification (Château Abelyce and Haut-Gravet are both classified chateaux) We discuss the land and how terroir is so important to quality in Bordeaux. We cover the differences between the limestone plateau that Ch. de Ribebon sits on versus the clay and gravel of the Right Bank Amélie shares why the Côtes de Bordeaux are exciting to seek out (Château Hyot is from Côtes de Bordeaux -- Castillon) We talk about Bordeaux Superieur and the keys to getting a good one  Amélie shares the purpose of oak barrels for her (and how it is not considered a flavor component - totally different from New World ideas!) We discuss the great benefits of having a strict appellation system and how it helps Amélie make the best wine she can   Finally, Amélie shares how environmental concerns will likely change how some things are done in Bordeaux, but not the style of the wine   Thanks to our sponsor this week:  YOU! The podcast supporters on Patreon, who are helping us to make the podcast possible and who we give goodies in return for their help!

As we head into 2019, there's a lot you need to know if you are in the real estate and construction industries. New nexus laws will greatly impact these industries, they require unique tax planning strategies, and some experts are predicting that the multi-family housing market has peaked. We're joined again by Doug Houser, Rea's new director of construction and real estate services. Doug is the perfect person to help us navigate these changes because he has spent over 20 years specializing in construction and real estate, in both the banking industry and public accounting. Finding the Right Bank for Building A construction company's financial statements look very different than, say, a manufacturer's. So if you are in construction or real estate, make sure your bank understands your industry and your business. The industry is doing extremely well right now, so a misunderstanding with your bank that disrupts cashflow is the last thing you need. If you are part of the construction or real estate industries, you will be interested in these other topics discussed in this episode: Why quality of information is a premium in the construction industry – and the consequences of not having quality information. How new Nexus laws will likely affect construction and real estate. Has the multi-family housing market peaked?

Choosing between the Left and Right Banks of Paris is like picking a favourite child. Tough, but often necessary. But of course, there's no real answer. There's no scientific equation, no data mining, no possible way to find the "best". Or is there? I've spent this week talking to experts, surveying Earful Tower followers, and churning through stats to figure out which side of the river is "officially" the best. And I have an answer. I discuss the topic with two authors, Right Banker Lindsey Tramuta and Left Banker John Baxter.  There's a much deeper look at the stats on the website here.  Support on Patreon here to watch the video with John Baxter. 

Places have an impact on us. Walking on the Right Bank of Paris feels different from a ghetto. This podcast is all about how places can be used (and should be) to affect your acting.

Hey, money has to be stored somewhere.  A Piggy Bank is an easy start to saving money, but there are other places that store money as well.  Starting with a bit of understanding and how banks work like a piggy bank starts to lay some foundation.

July 1916 begins and the Battle of the Somme erupts to relieve pressure at Verdun. The Germans begin to divert all available resources for the new battle.   The German 5th Army at Verdun makes one more attempt to break through on the Right Bank of the River Meuse. The line Fleury-Fort Souville-Fort Tavannes is attacked to clear the last defensible ridge line before Verdun.   The BFWWP is now on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/BattlesoftheFirstWorldWarPodcast.   Any questions, comments or concerns please contact me through the website, www.firstworldwarpodcast.com or the Battles of the First World War Podcast page on FaceBook.

We are officially done with top flight domestic seasons. The promotion finals are over, the Champions League Final is done, and International Friendlies have already begun. It’s not that Saints aren’t in the news at all, with Mark Hughes and the first team coaching staff signing new three-year contracts last week, but aside from that, there isn’t all that much going on.   So, for this week,we’ve teamed up with a bunch of other podcasts and in conjunction with @Tactics_FC to help bring you a World Cup preview podcast for each team at the tournament. My part in this is to bring a preview of the Poland squad. This is  partially driven by the fact that my country of birth (USA) and the two countries my family comes from (Italy and Norway) failed to make the tournament, leaving me without a country to truly pull for in the finals. Plus, add to it I find Poland’s history, both on and off the pitch, to be interesting, and I kinda know a guy (or at least I’ve spoken with one before) that can help shed some light on the squad. Oh, and Bednarek is potentially going to make the final roster, so that’s also pretty cool too.   This is where Chris Lash (@rightbankwarsaw and also rightbankwarsaw.com) come in. He lives and breathes Poland’s Ekstraklasa and has his own website, podcast, has done TV, etc. So, when I saw the opportunity to get to speak with him again and learn about the history of the squad and the expectations that they take with them into their first WC Finals appearance in 12 years.   You can get in touch with Tactics FC and Christ Lash at the links below: Tactics FC Instagram: @Tactics_FC Twitter: Tactics_FC Web: tacticsfc.com Chris Lash Twitter: @rightbankwarsaw Web- rightbankwarsaw.com Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/christopherlashwriter/ Instagram: @rightbankwarsaw   I highly encourage you to go and check out Tactics FC, Christopher, and the other preview podcasts as they become available.   This podcast is partnered with The Saints Report.

With terrible losses and plummeting morale, the French 2nd Army strains to hold the Right Bank after the fall of Fort Vaux. The German 5th Army continues its attacks, focusing on the Ouvrage de Thaiumont - Fleury - Fort Souville ridge line just three miles northeast of Verdun.   In the blazing heat of June, the French and Germans fight desperately in the artillery-plowed lunar landscape. The French fight to hold the line.

With a new attack on the Right Bank at Verdun, the Germans surround and lay siege to Fort Vaux. But this fort, commanded by the tenacious Major Raynal, will not be surrendered as easily as Fort Douaumont. Raynal and the other poilus trapped inside the fort will put up an epic defense that will last five days.   The BFWWP is now on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/BattlesoftheFirstWorldWarPodcast.   Any questions, comments or concerns please contact me through the website, www.firstworldwarpodcast.com or the Battles of the First World War Podcast page on FaceBook.

With the capture of Hill 304 and le Mort Homme on the Left Bank, the Battle of Verdun shifts back to the Right Bank with a disastrous French attempt to retake Fort Douaumont and ensuing German attacks on the lines there. GEN Petain is promoted in order to have a more ideologically favorable General Robert Nivelle take over French efforts at Verdun. After the attempt to retake Douaumont by the French fails, the Crown Prince and his 5th Army press on with new attacks aimed at breaking through French lines. Fort Vaux is surrounded and cut off by the Germans.   The BFWWP is now on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/BattlesoftheFirstWorldWarPodcast.   Any questions, comments or concerns please contact me through the website, www.firstworldwarpodcast.com or the Battles of the First World War Podcast page on FaceBook.

The Battle of Verdun grinds forward as the Germans press their attack on broken French lines following the capture of Fort Douaumont. French Army leadership determines that the lines at Verdun will be held whatever the cost.     General Philippe Petain comes in as commander of French forces and resistance stiffens.

Christian Moueix is the president of Etablissements Jean-Pierre Moueix, based on the Right Bank of Bordeaux, France. He oversees several properties in Pomerol and Saint-Emilion, including Chateau La Fleur-Petrus, Chateau Trotanoy, and Chateau Hosanna. Christian is also the owner of the Dominus Estate and Ulysses wineries in the Napa Valley of California. Christian opens up about his family life and career in this interview, touching on the post-war era of Pomerol, through the 1980s in Napa Valley - which turned out to be a fulcrum period of change for that region - and up through his recent business dealings and purchases in both California and Bordeaux. Fans of Chateau Petrus will find plenty of insight from Christian about that wine in this interview, as he discusses his forty years overseeing the property. Those curious about wineries that he owns today will also find plenty of detail, as well as many amazing anecdotes.
