For the first time in Got Somme history, Angus is using a spittoon.For the first time ever our Master Somm is tasting clean skin wine. In this episode, Angus and Master Sommelier Carlos Santos put six $5 clean skin wines under the microscope to answer a question we get asked all the time: Are clean skin wines actually drinkable, or are they only good for cooking? With six bottles on the table, including Sauvignon Blanc, two Chardonnays, Rosé and Shiraz, Carlos gives an honest, no-nonsense assessment of what’s worth drinking, what’s best kept for the kitchen, and what should probably go straight down the sink. What Is a Clean Skin Wine? Clean skin wines are bottles sold without a branded label. Often they are the result of: Oversupply from wineries Wines not making the cut for a producer’s main label Brand changes or ownership transitions Excess wine needing to be cleared quickly In some cases, these wines may even come from large, well-known producers who simply can’t move stock fast enough in the current market. Wines Tasted in This Episode: All wines were purchased for approximately $5 per bottle. Sauvignon Blanc (2024) Chardonnay (modern branded clean skin) Chardonnay (traditional black-and-white clean skin) Rosé Shiraz Each wine was assessed for aroma, palate, balance, drinkability and value for money. The Results: Which $5 Wines Passed the Test? ✅ Drinkable at $5 According to Carlos, these wines are genuinely drinkable at the price point: Sauvignon BlancFresh, fruity and recognisably Sauvignon Blanc in style. High acidity and noticeable sulfites, but surprisingly competitive in blind tasting against entry-level New Zealand styles. Chardonnay (traditional clean skin label)Simple, short and one-dimensional, but balanced and inoffensive. Better on the palate than the nose and acceptable for casual drinking or food pairing at the price. ShirazThe standout of the lineup. Peppery, dark fruit driven, recognisably Shiraz and the most enjoyable overall. Less aggressive sulfites due to tannin structure and the best value of the bunch. ❌ Best Left for Cooking Rosé Chardonnay (modern branded version) These wines showed strong sulfite aromas, artificial flavours and lacked balance. Fine for slow cooking, sauces or reducing into a dish, but not recommended for drinking. Does Wine Quality Matter When Cooking? Carlos explains that for most everyday cooking, especially slow cooks like: Bolognese Stews Braises There is little difference between using a $5 bottle and a $100 bottle. Once wine is reduced and cooked for hours, nuance disappears. Save the good stuff for the glass. Final Verdict on Clean Skin Wines Clean skins can be drinkable Oversupply in the wine industry means quality can trickle down the price ladder At $5, expectations matter Some are fine for drinking responsibly Most are perfectly suitable for cooking If you’re on a tight budget, a chilled glass from Carlos’s top three is acceptable. If you can stretch to $15–$20, you’ll still get more consistency and enjoyment. Carlos’s Top Picks (In Order) Shiraz Chardonnay (traditional clean skin) Sauvignon Blanc Want to See the Bottles?

C dans l'air l'invité du 5 janvier 2026 avec le général Pierre de Villiers, ancien Chef d'état-major des Armées. Il publie "Pour le succès des armes de la France", aux éditions Fayard.Le président déchu vénézuélien Nicolas Maduro est arrivé lundi pour comparaître devant un tribunal de New York, deux jours après avoir été enlevé à Caracas lors d'une opération militaire américaine choc qui ouvre la voie au projet de Washington de contrôler ce pays riche en pétrole. Détenu à Brooklyn depuis samedi soir, il doit répondre de quatre chefs d'accusation de trafic de drogue ainsi que de détention d'armes automatiques. Sommée de se conformer aux volontés de Washington, Delcy Rodriguez, nommée dirigeante vénézuélienne par intérim à l'issue de la spectaculaire opération menée samedi par les forces spéciales américaines, a affiché sa volonté de coopérer avec les Etats-Unis dans le cadre de relations "équilibrées et respectueuses (...) fondées sur l'égalité souveraine et la non-ingérence". Celle qui était la vice-présidente de Nicolas Maduro montre ainsi un premier signe d'ouverture envers Donald Trump qui ne cache pas ses intentions de diriger la transition ni ses ambitions pour les immenses ressources pétrolières vénézuéliennes."La France se prépare pour un monde durci", a affirmé Jean-Noël Barrot, ministre des Affaires étrangères, hier sur France 2. Cette onde de choc suscitée par l'intervention américaine au Venezuela préfigure-t-elle un nouveau monde basé uniquement sur les rapports de force ? La France, et l'Europe, sont-elles préparées ? Le général Pierre de Villiers, qui avait démissionné en 2017en raison de réserves sur les économies réclamées aux armées, est notre invité. "Je considère ne plus être en mesure d'assurer la pérennité du modèle d'armée auquel je crois pour garantir la protection de la France", avait-il écrit à l'époque. Comment voit-il, aujourd'hui, la mise en place d'un service militaire volontaire, annoncée par Emmanuel Macron, et dont la campagne de recrutement débute le 12 janvier ?

Why This Episode Is a Must-Listen Are you intrigued by the intersection of passion and profit in wine collecting? This Inspired Money episode, hosted by Andy Wang, brings together top minds from wine auctions, investment platforms, and market experts for an eye-opening look at how wine has become a bona fide asset class. Whether you're a seasoned collector, investor, or simply wine-curious, this discussion unpacks strategies to maximize both enjoyment and value. Episodes like this are packed with insights that demystify the fine wine market, reveal what really drives price appreciation, and share hard-earned advice on avoiding costly mistakes. Meet the Expert Panelists Nick Pegna is the Global Head of Wine & Spirits at Sotheby's, bringing over 30 years of international experience in building and leading fine wine businesses across Europe and Asia. Formerly a senior executive at Berry Bros. & Rudd, where he helped shape global markets and co-led Hong Kong's successful campaign to abolish wine duties, Pegna now oversees Sotheby's record-setting global auction and retail operations. https://www.sothebys.com Callum Woodcock is the Founder and CEO of WineFi, a London-based investment platform that combines institutional-grade analytics with expert curation to make fine wine investing more transparent and accessible. A former J.P. Morgan asset manager with degrees from the University of Bristol and the University of Cambridge, he's leading WineFi's mission to position fine wine as a data-driven, tax-efficient, and inflation-resilient asset class. https://www.winefi.co Amanda McCrossin is a sommelier, media personality, and creator of @sommvivant, where her wine-focused content reaches over 450,000 followers across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Formerly the Wine Director at PRESS Restaurant in Napa Valley—the world's largest collection of Napa Valley wines—she's now a leading voice in wine education and storytelling, hosting the Wine Access Unfiltered podcast and appearing regularly at major global wine events. https://www.amandamccrossin.com https://www.sommvivant.me Robbie Stevens is the Head of Broking at Live-ex, the global exchange for fine wine, market data, and insight. On a daily basis he deals with the largest fine wine buyers and sellers globally, offering them data-driven intelligence and opportunities to trade.

Known for his role in the SOMM film series, Wilson has also launched Après Cru, a firm supporting the growth of visionary restaurant concepts. https://ny.vervewine.com Key Highlights 1. Disciplined Bidding at Auctions Nick Pegna reveals why preparation and strategy, including setting a maximum bid and understanding total costs, safeguard buyers against emotional overspending: "The most careful and frequent buyers at auction have a strategy. They've planned what they're looking to bid on...across multiple auctions." 2. Secondary Market Liquidity Drives Investment Value Callum Woodcock emphasizes the importance of focusing on wines with proven resale liquidity, not just brand prestige or critics' scores. Data-driven models and decades of market transaction history are now key to "blue chip" wine selection. 3. Storytelling Fuels Scarcity and Demand Amanda McCrossin illustrates how narrative and personal connection make certain bottles iconic and drive up their market value, citing Napa's Screaming Eagle as a prime example. "Scarcity is really only informed by storytelling...what has made Napa Valley so successful is the storytelling element." 4. Transparency and Technology Are Raising the Bar Robbie Stevens shares Liv-ex's role in fostering trust: from vetting merchants, digitizing provenance, to benchmarking prices. The expansion of data access and seller management tools allows collectors to track market movements and optimize timing for liquidation. Call-to-Action Take a look at one item in your own collection, wine, art, or even another collectible, and think about it like an investor. What makes it valuable? How would you verify its authenticity, track its performance, and decide the right time to sell? Just doing that exercise will give you a new lens for appreciating your investments, and maybe even inspire your next move.

When The Bear first premiered, it was widely-hailed for accurately capturing the high-intensity chaos of restaurant life. With each new season, the show has dived deeper into the emotional complexities that come with working in the industry for characters who have made it their life's work. But, for certain viewers, it felt like the show was missing a crucial component—wine—especially when talking about a restaurant that is aiming for a Michelin star. On The Bear's fourth season, which premiered on June 25th, wine finally got its time to shine. Though food remains the central focus of the restaurant, wine finally gets its fair share of airtime in multiple episodes this go around.  In episode two, called “Soubise,” Gary “Sweeps” Woods, The Bear's resident sommelier-in-training, meets with trailblazing former Master Sommelier and restaurateur Alpana Singh. Making a cameo as herself, the Chicago-based industry pro gives the burgeoning somm some hands-on tips. For this week's podcast, we invited both Singh and Corey Hendrix, the actor who plays “Sweeps,” on to talk about what it means to portray a wine pro on television, wine stereotypes and what real representation in wine media actually looks like.

The Master Sommelier is a commitment to hospitality. So it makes you wonder what a young girl, who admittedly called herself lazy, would take on such a commitment. As life would have it, the challenges became clear to Stefanie Hehn, and each ladder rung became the next challenge. And I get it. I love hospitality. Here is her story on getting to the utmost revered  degree in the subject.   Stefanie Hehn—master sommelier extraordinaire from Hamburg's fabulous Fontenay Hotel—brings a whole philosophy to wine service that goes well beyond being just an order-taker. She tells her team their mission is to turn each guest into the superhero of their own wine story. That means memorable moments, not just pouring what's popular. From their conversation, we learn that German wine trends can be as surprising as a plot twist in a telenovela. Riesling's always beloved, but lately German Pinot Noir (Spätburgunder, for the wine geeks) is stealing the spotlight, with guest explorations into lesser-known varietals like Silvaner for adventurous diners. Stefanie is a champion of mixing the classics with hidden gems—she curates the hotel's wine list with both her guests' favorites and her personal discoveries from around the world. And just so you know, being a master sommelier isn't all swirling glasses and elegant pours—it takes a mountain of study, relentless passion, and sometimes the bravery to leave a steady job to pursue that next-level sommelier qualification. On the floor, Stefanie loves when guests give her some direction (“here's my budget, here's what we like!”), but she's also ready to whisk you away with a surprise pairing if you're up for the adventure. Whether people want to talk organic, biodynamic, orange wine, or good old Bordeaux, the most important ingredient is always to create a special, personal moment—that's what makes people come back (and maybe brag to their friends later). So, fancy a glass of Champagne, Pinot Noir, or perhaps a pink Pinot Grigio with a story? Stefanie's here to make sure you leave with a smile—and maybe a new favorite wine you've never heard of before. If you've got more specific questions about Stefanie's approach, the trends she's seeing, or German wine culture, just ask! #winepodcast #sommeliers #WineTalks #StefanieHehn #PaulKalemkiarian #Germanwine, #hospitality #MichelinStar #FontenayHotel #Riesling #PinotNoir #winepairing #winelover #wineeducation #wineindustry #finewine #winelist #organicwine #champagne #wineexperience #mastersommelier
