Chillable red wines are a thing right now, and we think we may have found the perfect chillable red wine for you to not only enjoy but wow your hipster friends, family, and coworkers with. In fact, this wine is becoming a darling of in-the-know sommeliers! Schiava comes from the Alto Adige region of Italy, and it has everything you are looking for in a chillable red wine: crunchy red fruit flavors, light body, low tannins, and moderate alcohol. And while the wine is sometimes called “weightless” don't confuse that with being bland or boring, because it is anything but that. Look, you are not going to drink this wine with a big steak, but there's more to life than big steaks, right?!? Sometimes also called Trollinger and Vernatsch, this is the perfect wine for a summer afternoon, for appetizers and charcuterie, poultry, spicy and sweet barbecue, and, yes, even fish. Red wine and fish?!? Crazy, but true. Often called the white wine drinker's red wine, Schiava is a wine you need to know, especially if you want to be counted among the trendy. Or not.

Bei Toni fängt Wein an zu klingen. Das ist bekannt. Und er lässt Geschichte vibrieren. Mit seinem „#askToni“ macht Antonio Askitis das – obgleich im Trend befindliche, für viele dennoch unbekannte – Weinbauland Georgien für Dich lebendig und zeigt Dir, warum es so sehr dem Zeitgeist entspricht. Und irgendwie kann fas nur Toni Wein so leben und erklären, wie es nur Toni kann. Also perfekt für einen Deep Dive und vor allem für ein so leidenschaftliches Thema, wie Georgien. Aufgewachsen zwischen Imbiss und Restaurant in Düsseldorf, Sohn einer griechischen Gastronomenfamilie, geprägt von Skate- und Graffiti-Kultur – und irgendwo dazwischen, in dieser merkwürdigen Mischung aus Straße und Stube, ist ihm Wein passiert. Nicht als Karriereplan. Seine Mutter sagte kurz vor dem Abitur: „Vielleicht wirst du ja Sommelier." Er wusste damals nicht einmal genau, was das ist. Aber der Samen war gelegt. 2002 bis 2006 studierte er Betriebswirtschaftslehre an der Fachhochschule Düsseldorf. 2011 folgte die Ausbildung zum Sommelier an der Deutschen Wein- und Sommelierschule Koblenz. Dazwischen ein Praktikum beim Weingut Karthäuserhof an der Ruwer – einer der stillen, großen Adressen des deutschen Weinbaus. Von 2008 bis 2017 war er Sommelier und Geschäftsführer im D'VINE in Düsseldorf, das 15 Gault-Millau-Punkte, zwei Gläser vom Wine Spectator und die Auszeichnung als „Weinplace" von Gerolsteiner erhielt. Aber das Entscheidende kam danach. Mit seinem Berufs- und Lebensmotto „Wein ist unkompliziert" hat er das nahezu Undenkbare geschafft: Wein in die nächste Generation zu transferieren. Er spricht die Sprache der Jugend, macht Wein greifbar, ohne ihn zu verunglimpfen. Er wurde zu einer der 25 wichtigsten Weinpersönlichkeiten Deutschlands (Vinum) gekürt, erhielt den VDP Traubenadler-Sommelier und den Schlemmer Atlas Top 50-Titel – und blieb trotzdem der Typ, dem man beim Erklären einfach zuhören will, ohne das Gefühl zu haben, dass er einem etwas beibringen möchte. Seit April 2023 begleitet er Pommes & Wein am Graf-Adolf-Platz in Düsseldorf – eine Weinbar, in der Hip-Hop läuft, über 750 Weine auf der Karte stehen und das Signature Dish Pommes mit Currywurst heißt. Das ist kein Konzept, dass ist Toni wie er leibt und lebt. 2024 wurde er als Sommelier des Jahres ausgezeichnet. Sein Buch „#askToni – Wein ist unkompliziert" beantwortet über 50 Fragen, die man schon immer stellen wollte, sich aber nie getraut hat. Wer das gelesen hat, weiß: Dieser Mann denkt nicht darüber nach, wie er Wein erklärt. Er erklärt einfach. Und das ist der eigentliche Unterschied.

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.

What does it take to run the wine programme for eight restaurants inside one of Hong Kong's most storied hotel groups, and how do you earn a guest's trust for a US$600 pour of 1975 Petrus? We sat down inside Petrus itself, the flagship restaurant at Island Shangri-La Hong Kong, high above Pacific Place at the heart of the city's energy, to find out.We're joined by Cyrus Ho, hotel sommelier for the Shangri-La Group in Hong Kong, who oversees the wine programme across all eight of the group's restaurants, from Cantonese fine dining to Japanese, French and everything in between.Cyrus walks us through the week he spent doing nothing but refilling water glasses under his mentor's watch, the vintage mix-up that taught him never to skip showing a label, and the six-hour mountain drive into Yunnan that convinced him Chinese Chardonnay deserves serious attention.Expect back-vintage Petrus by the glass, a side career as a certified tea master, and a clear-eyed read on why the next generation isn't reaching for wine. Tune in!▬▬

Pascal Strehler weiß, Rosé kann mehr als Provence!

Dabei sprechen wir über Rosé als ernst zu nehmenden Wein, verschiedene Rebsorten und Regionen, passende Speisen, Preise und die Frage: Kann Rosé sogar einen Rotwein ersetzen? Welcher Rosé wäre Dein Favorit? Schreib es uns in die Kommentare! Und lass gern einen Like da :)

Bas van Gijzen macht sein Weinwissen nicht klein, aber er hat die unfassbare Gabe, die Schwellen dafür klein zu halten. Zwischen Glas und Gast. Zwischen Unsicherheit und Neugier. Zwischen „Ich kenne mich damit nicht aus“ und „Davon hätte ich gern noch ein Glas.“ Keiner weiß genau, wann es begann, dass Wein snobistisch und elitär wurde. Irgendwann wurden aus Gläsern Instrumente, aus Beschreibungen Wissenschaften und aus einem Getränk eine Disziplin, in der manche lieber beeindrucken als genießen. Manchmal genügt ein einziges Wort – „Mineralik“ – und schon nicken alle wissend. Niemand möchte derjenige sein, der fragt, was damit eigentlich gemeint ist. Bas hat etwas begriffen, woran sich erstaunlich viele Menschen vorbeiverkosten. Wein ist selten das eigentliche Thema. Das Thema sitzt auf der anderen Seite des Tisches. Der Mensch. Das Gefühl. Die Beziehung, die entsteht, wenn jemand endlich aufhört, Beeindruckung zu spielen, und einfach trinkt. Das ist vermutlich der Moment, in dem Sommellerie beginnt. Bas van Gijzen ist kein Star-Sommelier im klassischen Michelin-Restaurant-Sinne. Er wird vielleicht keine Bücher schreiben und keine großen Preise gewinnen. Er wird weiter hinter der Theke stehen, Flaschen drehen und Gäste mit seiner unfassbaren Art vom großartigsten Getränk der Welt überzeugen. Die Gäste mögen ihn. Ihn, der als kompletter Quereinsteiger sich bewusst und aus Leidenschaft für den Wein entschieden hat. Zu uns brachte er keine teuren Flaschen mit, aber Geschichten. Und die leichte Verzweiflung eines Menschen, der einfach zu viel über Zahlen und Märkte weiß. Er hat BWL studiert und war in der Finanzbranche, bevor er ausgestiegen ist und sein Hobby zum Beruf gemacht hat. Das erwähnt er gelegentlich, meistens dann, wenn jemand ihn fragt, warum er so nebensächlich auf Zahlen achtet – und warum bei ihm Weinbeschreibungen dann doch ein wenig anders ausfallen. Modern und traditionell zugleich. Mit Herz. Mit Liebe zum Detail. Ohne eben das Business und das Geld in den Vordergrund zu stellen. Er spricht über Winzer, über Reisen in Weinregionen, über den Genuss von Essen und Trinken als Lifestyle, der nicht laut sein muss. Über das Gefühl, wenn eine Flasche endlich geöffnet wird und alles andere nebensächlich wird.

How do our personal memories shape the aromas we recognize in wine? What incredible Argentine wines are people missing when they focus only on Malbec? Why do food and wines from the same region often pair beautifully even when they break the usual rules? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Marisol de la Fuente. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks.   Highlights How did a student's memory of his grandmother help Marisol explain aroma in wine tasting? Why might an old wine remind someone of sushi? Why does Torrontés pair unexpectedly well with Argentine empanadas? How can molecular pairing create surprising matches like white chocolate with caviar? Why does Marisol say wine changes with age rather than automatically improving? What is the biggest misconception people have about aging wine? Why does Marisol believe Argentina is known too narrowly for Malbec? What does Argentina need to do better to show the world its full range of wines? How did winning Wine Communicator of the Year change Marisol's place in the global wine conversation? Why does Marisol believe wine communication should never feel too solemn? What childhood comfort food would Marisol pair with white wine today? Why does Marisol believe constant study and research matter most in wine communication?   About Marisol de la Fuente Marisol de la Fuente is an international sommelier, graduated from the Argentine School of Sommeliers, a bartender trained at the International Center of Cocktail Arts, and a journalist.

I am pretty sure you didn't catch the article in the Somm Journal written by David Schulner. And if you did, you were not as jealous as I was. Well, let's call it inspired. Trading the glitz of Hollywood for the chaos of the restaurant floor, David Schulner doesn't just pour wine—he pours gasoline on the genteel myths swirling around it. You'll hear what happens when a successful TV showrunner, fresh off the picket lines of the 2023 writers' strike, crashes headfirst into the closed ranks of Michelin-star restaurants. Forget those dreamy drone shots over gleaming vineyards; David Schulner exposes the cutthroat realities of wine service, the humiliations of being the new kid at 50, and why, even with a TV resumé, you can't buy your way onto the restaurant floor. If you still think wine is all velvet gloves and romantic stories, think again—this is one guest who's happy to spill the dirty secrets, right alongside the Pomerol. In this episode, you'll discover what hospitality really means in an industry obsessed with pedigree, why most people—Sommeliers included—are entirely faking it, and who gets left behind when Napa and Bordeaux "evolve." David Schulner and Paul Kalemkiarian aren't afraid to torch the sacred cows of the wine world, from pretentious tasting rooms to the sanitized myths of customer service. Instead of parroting the party line, you'll get a front-row seat to the raw, awkward, ego-bruising reality of what it takes to serve, sell, and survive when the masks come off. If you're tired of wine podcasts that sound like a sommelier's TED Talk—or shows that make the industry look like a playground for privileged insiders—this conversation will rattle your cage. David Schulner lays bare why most restaurants won't hire a middle-aged rookie with Hollywood connections, why real hospitality is an act of rebellion against wine snobbery, and how every industry he's loved is "on the death knell"—and that's exactly what makes them magic. The result? An unfiltered, sometimes uncomfortable, ultimately inspiring blueprint for anyone who's ever wondered if there's a place for outsiders in one of the world's most insular trades. You won't just walk away with surface-level talking points. You'll come away with forbidden knowledge and questions that might keep you up at night.

What does it actually take to become the UK Sommelier of the Year? And how do the world's best sommeliers blind taste wine under pressure? In this episode of Eat Sleep Wine Repeat, Janina sits down with Emma Denney, the newly crowned UK Sommelier of the Year 2026 and Director of Wine at Claridge's, to go behind the scenes of elite sommelier competition, blind tasting and fine wine service. Emma takes us inside the competition - from identifying grape varieties, regions and vintages in a blind tasting, to recognising wine faults by aroma alone, tackling food and wine pairing and serving Champagne under pressure. She also explains how professional sommeliers build their tasting knowledge, read the clues in a glass and develop the confidence to make decisions quickly. But this isn't just an episode about becoming a sommelier. Emma is a brilliant guide to some of the wine world's most fascinating regions and producers. We dive into Champagne and grower Champagne, Northern Rhône Syrah and Hermitage, Jumilla Monastrell, Ningxia Riesling, Margaret River and New Zealand Pinot Grigio, with plenty of bottles and wine travel ideas to add to your list. You'll also learn what RM and NM mean on Champagne labels, why Champagne's chalk soils matter, what Coteaux Champenois is, how lees ageing and late disgorgement affect Champagne, how to recognise common wine faults such as Brett, cork taint and oxidation, and why some of the world's most exciting wines are coming from places you might not expect.

Wir verkosten Gola Morillon 2021 vom Weingut Wohlmuth aus der Südsteiermark. Morillon ist die südsteirische Bezeichnung für Chardonnay. Der Wein stammt aus kargen Schieferlagen im Sausal und wurde 14 Monate im großen Holzfass ausgebaut. Doch wie gut sind seine prägnante Säure, feine Rauchigkeit und mineralische Spannung? Während zwei von uns begeistert sind, fällt das dritte Urteil deutlich kritischer aus.

Du kennst sie als Iris vom Esser. Und ja, da ist ihre unvergleichliche Lebendigkeit. Doch das, was Du spürst, wenn Du bei Iris zu Gast bist, ist so unglaublich viel mehr. Iris berührt Dich durch ihre Wärme. Und natürlich ist Iris Giessauf die urige, heimatverbundene steirische Weinfachfrau. Aber sie trägt ihre Herkunft nicht wie ein Etikett vor sich her – sie lebt sie. In ihrer Sprache, ihrem Humor, ihrer Gelassenheit, ihrer Gastfreundschaft und in der Art, wie sie einem Glas Wein begegnet. Nein, eigentlich begegnet Iris den Weinen nicht – sie spürt sie. Und somit ist das Gasthaus Esser nicht mehr und nicht weniger als ein synergetischer Kreisschluss zwischen dem Wein, Dir und der Iris aus der Steiermark, in der Weinberge nicht bloß Rebstöcke sind, sondern Familiengeschichten erzählen. Wo Nebel morgens langsam aus den Tälern steigt, die Sonne die Hügel vergoldet und jede Jahreszeit ihren ganz eigenen Duft besitzt. Und damit eine Herzlichkeit, die nicht aufdringlich ist. Mit einer Lebensfreude, die dort beginnt, wo sie viele Menschen längst vergessen haben. Man sagt den Steirern nach, sie seien herzlich, humorvoll, fleißig, naturverbunden und ein wenig eigensinnig. Bei ihr trifft all das zu. Sie diskutiert leidenschaftlich, aber nie verletzend. Sie lacht laut und ehrlich. Und wenn sie lacht, lacht meist der ganze Tisch, ach was, das ganze Lokal mit. Darüber hinaus – und das verspreche ich Dir – spürst Du vom ersten Moment im Podcast, dass sie diese seltene Gabe besitzt, Menschen das Gefühl zu geben, genau dort richtig zu sein, wo sie gerade sitzen. In ihrem Gasthaus ist Wein kein Statussymbol. Es ist wie zu Hause, und dort gehört er auf den Tisch wie gutes Brot, ein ehrliches Gespräch und Zeit. Dabei besitzt sie einen trockenen Humor, wie man ihn in der Steiermark oft erlebt. Nie laut, nie verletzend, sondern augenzwinkernd. Vinophile Gastfreundschaft bedeutet für sie Aufmerksamkeit. Sie erinnert sich an Lieblingsweine, an kleine Vorlieben und an Geschichten, die Gäste vor Monaten beiläufig erzählt haben. Sie besitzt ein feines Gespür für Menschen. Noch bevor ein Gast ausgesprochen hat, was er sucht, hat sie oft schon verstanden, was ihm gefallen könnte. Nicht, weil sie Gedanken lesen kann, sondern weil sie aufmerksam beobachtet. Sie ist eine der wenigen Weinfachfrauen, die gezielt für einzelne, bestimmte Gäste Weine einkauft oder von einem Wein, der sie besonders begeistert hat, eine zweite Flasche zurückbehält. Wo sonst findet man diese unglaubliche Gastfreundschaft? Und auch wer sich unsicher fühlt, wird von ihr nicht belehrt, sondern abgeholt. Wer zum ersten Mal einen Muskateller, einen Sauvignon Blanc oder einen Welschriesling probiert, erlebt keinen Vortrag über Thiolverbindungen, sondern hört vielleicht den Satz: „Schließ einmal die Augen und sag mir, woran Dich dieser Duft erinnert.“ Plötzlich wird Wein greifbar, verständlich und persönlich. Wie die Iris es einfach ist.

How did Argentina help save Europe's vineyards during the devastating phylloxera crisis? Why is wine still treated as an exclusive product despite being more accessible than ever? How can vineyards that endure extreme temperatures still produce elegant, vibrant wines? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Marisol de la Fuente. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks.   Highlights What made Marisol leave a successful corporate career to become a sommelier? Why did Marisol build her wine content around beginners instead of wine experts? How did identifying a single aroma in a wine tasting convince Marisol she belonged in the wine world? What wine myths does Marisol most want consumers to stop believing? Which modern wine trends are actually thousands of years old? Why is wine still treated as an exclusive product, despite being more accessible than ever? How did Argentina help save Europe's vineyards during the phylloxera crisis? Why do Argentina's southernmost vineyards produce such elegant, fresh wines despite their extreme climate? Why does Marisol believe making great white wine is even more difficult than making great red wine? What do the terms Brut, Extra Brut, and Demi-Sec on sparkling wines really mean?

Viele Betriebe investieren nur zögerlich in ihre besten Mitarbeiter – aus Angst, dass diese danach trotzdem gehen. Gerhard Retter dreht die Frage um: Warum sollten Menschen bleiben, wenn ihnen niemand eine echte Perspektive bietet? In Folge #5 von Der RETTER geht es um die gemeinsame Karriere von Mitarbeitern und Betrieb. Welche Ziele verfolgt der Mitarbeiter? Welche Entwicklung kann der Arbeitgeber ermöglichen? Und wie ehrlich müssen beide Seiten über Erwartungen, Bezahlung, Weiterbildung und langfristige Pläne sprechen? Gerhard Retter spricht dabei auch über eine besonders schmerzhafte Erfahrung: Ein enger Mitarbeiter erfand einen schweren Autounfall, weil er nicht sagen konnte, dass er ausgebrannt war und nicht mehr weitermachen konnte. Für Retter ein Beispiel dafür, was passiert, wenn Nähe, Leistungsdruck und fehlende Offenheit aufeinandertreffen. Eine Folge über Karriere, Loyalität und den Mut, langfristig ineinander zu investieren. Mitarbeiter müssen Verantwortung für ihren eigenen Weg übernehmen, Betriebe müssen Chancen schaffen und auch dann fair bleiben, wenn eine Zusammenarbeit endet.

Champagne is more than something poured at a toast — it's a place you can actually visit, and this episode finally delivers on months of hints about a long-awaited spring trip there. Sommelier Lara Koffer joins Amanda to unpack the region's biggest split: house Champagne versus grower Champagne, and how roughly 16,000 growers keep the famous marques stocked with fruit.

Kann man freigeistiger durch diese unsere Weinwelt gehen als Anna Melissa Eßer? Wohl nicht. Warum? Ihr Wirken erscheint so wunderbar geprägt von konventioneller Unabhängigkeit und vinofeeler Neugier. Diese lebendige Unabhängigkeit ist dabei nicht Ausdruck von Widerspruch um des Widerspruchs willen, sondern einer authentischen Bereitschaft, Dinge differenziert zu betrachten und sich ein eigenes Urteil zu bilden. Und so verkörpert sie die Verbindung von Offenheit mit Verantwortung. Sie lebt ein facettenreiches Interesse, ohne dabei die Bedeutung fundierter Kenntnisse und das einfache Sommelièren-Handwerk aus den Augen zu verlieren. Anna Melissa Eßer ist eine Sommelière, die ihr Weinleben bewusst nach den Prinzipien berufsgeistiger Unabhängigkeit, kritischer Branchenreflexion und persönlicher Alltagsverantwortung gestaltet. Sie ist weder Rebellin um des Widerspruchs willen noch bloße Individualistin, sondern eine Persönlichkeit, die ihre Freiheit nutzt, um eigenständig zu denken, verantwortungsvoll zu handeln und offen für neue Erkenntnisse zu bleiben. Anna versteht Freiheit nicht als Beliebigkeit oder als das Recht, sich jeder Weintradition zu entziehen. Hieraus nährt sie ihre geistige Beweglichkeit und den unbedingten Willen, sich weiterzuentwickeln. Also lehnt sie Regeln oder Traditionen nicht ab. Vielmehr fragt sie nach deren Sinn, ihrer Begründung und ihrer Wirkung. Was sie als vernünftig, gerecht oder hilfreich erkennt, wird gerne durchgewunken. Was sie hingegen für unbegründet, einengend oder ungerecht hält, ist sie bereit, infrage zu stellen und gegebenenfalls abzulehnen. Und genau das braucht diese unsere Weinwelt: eine Leichtigkeit mit Bodenhaftung, eine kreativ fundierte Verrücktheit, ein Bewusstsein für die Weinwirtschaft und einen großartigen Blick über diesen Tellerrand. Und so durchlebt sie ihren Alltag mit ihrer sehr persönlichen, ausgeprägten Selbstständigkeit im Denken, Betrachten und Gestalten. Eine Freigeistin wie Anna lässt sich weder von gesellschaftlichem Druck noch von bloßen Erwartungen anderer bestimmen.

In this episode of the No Sediment Wine Podcast, I sit down with Andreas Larsson, the Best Sommelier of the World 2007, to talk about his journey to becoming the world's best sommelier, what it takes to succeed on stage, and how the role of the sommelier has changed over the years. We also discuss blind tasting, wine scores, changing trends, and whether critics and sommeliers are losing influence to apps and social media.Be sure to SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@NoSediment, as I am posting weekly videos on all things wine and monthly wine podcast episodes. **LET'S CONNECT: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blancdenoir/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/blancdenoir TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nosediment #wineeducation #winepodcast #wine

Cory Empting is Managing Director of Winegrowing at Domain H. William Harlan, overseeing Harlan Estate, BOND, Promontory, and The Mascot in the Napa Valley of California.Cory recounts his memories of growing up in the Napa Valley and learning about winemaking from the age of 15. He recalls running around The French Laundry as a kid and helping out with a harvest at Forman Vineyard. He also talks about his first experiences at Harlan Estate, a property where he has now worked for decades. Cory discusses why he decided to pursue a career at Harlan, which led to being named the Winemaker of the property years later.Cory talks about Bob Levy, the Founding Winemaker of Harlan Estate, who Cory still works with today. He also describes working for Bill Harlan and Will Harlan, the owners of the property. Cory talks about the 1997 vintage at Harlan Estate, and his experiences tasting that wine over the years. He also shares some thoughts about the ageing trajectory of Harlan wines in general.Cory discusses the Harlan property itself and contrasts it with the nearby Promontory vineyard, then describes how the winemaking approach for Promontory evolved over time. This leads into a discussion of how the approach at Harlan Estate has changed over the years, both in terms of the farming and the winemaking. One key change has been the move to dry farming (without irrigation), and Cory talks about the implications of that shift. Other topics that emerge in the discussion include soil health, head trained vines, vineyard exposure, harvest date, native yeast fermentation, fermentation temperature, stem inclusion, extraction, tannin management, avoiding acidification, the duration of malolactic conversion, press wine, and the length of élevage. Amidst this discussion Cory emphasizes his respect for Bob Levy's accomplishments and frames the shifts at Harlan over time as a natural evolution in a multi-generational business.Cory shares the terrible circumstances surrounding the wildfires in the Napa Valley in 2017, and what his family experienced during that time. He also grapples with how that harvest redefined his thinking about the winemaking. After that experience in 2017, Cory reviewed harvest records from previous decades and started thinking more about the winemaking of the past in the Napa Valley. This coincided with Cory having more encounters with older vintages of Napa wines.Farming is discussed in-depth, as Cory shares his thoughts on the language of plants and interacting with vines. A significant outcome of the work in the vines at Harlan has been earlier ripening as an outcome of dry farming. Cory recognizes members of his team who made key contributions to the work in the vines on the property, including the Castellanos brothers and Francisco Gonzalez. He also touches on the significant differences between different vineyard parcels within Harlan Estate, both in terms of vineyard work and exposure. The subject of multi-generational wineries comes to the fore as Cory discusses internal dynamics at the workplace between winemakers and ownership.In 2020, wildfire reappeared in the Napa Valley, and Cory made a decision to harvest weeks earlier than had been the norm at Harlan Estate in the 2000s. He refers to that decision as “an inflection point” for Harlan Estate and shares his reasoning in this interview. The question of whether wildfires are part of a new climate reality for Napa is addressed in this interview, and Cory talks about the relation of farming and climate to wine style. He also shares his thoughts on how smoke taint may alter the tannins of a wine. He closes with the thought that his team is currently learning and adjusting at a faster pace.This episode also features commentary from:Ric Forman, Forman VineyardKelli White, Director of Education at The Wine Center and author of the book "Napa Valley Then & Now"Frederic Mugnier, Domaine Jacques-Frederic MugnierSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What does it take to be a water sommelier? In this episode of the Water Smarts Podcast, hosts Bronson Mack and Crystal Zuelke go behind the scenes at SNWA's River Mountains Water Treatment Facility to meet the scientists who analyze and taste test our drinking water as members of the Water Flavor Profile Panel. They discuss how the panel uses taste and aroma to help monitor water quality, identify potential treatment issues, and ensure customers receive high-quality drinking water.

I am fascinated with the idea of luxury brands like Dior, LVMH and Armani. It is clearly more than just diversification or trying to find new revenue streams. It is and has become part of the brand On a recent trip to Beverly Hills, I was invited to lunch with the group from Chateau Y'quem. I moved the entire schedule around (duh), to be there. And though I was remiss in remembering who fronted the hospitality, I was taken by the hospitality just the same. Now I am taken by the woman of was at the helm that day. Meet Fahara Zamorano. If you think the wine world is just swirling glasses and sniffing out tasting notes, Fajara Zamorano is here to flip your tablecloth. She strides into Wine Talks declaring, "You gotta remove the ego," and then proceeds to break down luxury wine culture not with snobbery, but with the kind of candor that leaves sommeliers and armchair tasters alike scrambling to rethink what it means to appreciate wine. Raised in the vine-studded valleys near Santiago, with the occasional detour into the Atacama desert—the driest place on earth—Fajara Zamorano grew up living the contrast between farmland "fairytale" and the arid edge of the world. No wonder she grew into someone who can call out ego in the most self-important industry on earth, then build a wine program for Monsieur Dior in Beverly Hills—where the stakes are as high as the heels. You're not just getting tips about which bottle to order at dinner. You're going to learn why the true luxury isn't price tags or Instagram clout, but the ability to see, anticipate, and dissolve the invisible barriers between guest and experience. Fajara Zamorano peels back the silk curtain on how fine dining works—how sommeliers read people, how guest notes are kept, and why even the "perfect" wine list is about much more than showing off. She'll have you questioning why we talk more about pesticides in strawberries than in the Cabernet you're sipping, and challenge the way the wine industry sacrifices humanity at the altar of mass marketing. She knows firsthand the battles of fighting for sustainable farming in a market obsessed with buzzwords, and still keeps her sense of humor when talking about Champagne, Armenian wines, or the eccentricities of the ladies who lunch on Rodeo Drive. If you've ever cringed at a wine list, been intimidated at a high-end restaurant, or wondered whether all this luxury talk means anything, this conversation is the antidote. Fajara Zamorano and Paul K will not only teach you how restaurants wield psychology like a decanter, but why the best experiences always put people before ego, and farming before flash. What you'll actually learn in this episode:

The Wine: Les Muretiers Collection Privée Réserve Syrah 2024, France RRP from $24.99 Grown and produced in the Languedoc-Roussillon in southwest France – this wine delivers a warm bouquet of dark plums and raspberry, and there's a light peppercorn spice and gentle wood smoke quality. Fruity, dry, with some tension from fine tannins and medium+ acid line. With a low oak expression, it's a wine ready to drink on its own or with food. Balanced and well made, a reliable salivating, fruity and earthy style. The Food: This wine presents an opportunity to pair with myriad dishes, from earthy pastas with mushrooms and leeks to a casserole made with red meat, such as lamb, with lentils, carrots, and kumara, and even a Sunday roast. Just keep the flavours earthy and simple – a sauce with some cream or jus-style from the juices released from cooking meats. The 2024 season for France: Historically challenging due to severe weather, leading to a drop in production and volumes. The overall issue was rain forcing many growers into using more antifungal products than typical through a season. Unexpected hail and frost in some places caused some severe damage. The 2024 season for the Languedoc-Roussillon: For this extremely large wine area the opposite happened, with continuous drought causing lower yields some places. The wines however delivered on concentration and higher than normal quality. That means overall the wines from this region are rather good.

The whole thing started because we couldn't remember the name of the Executive Chef at Wing & Barrel in Sonoma. One of our listeners that happened to work for Charlie Palmer reached out and suggested that we come for a visit to Appellation Healdsburg and meet the legend in person. We will never forget his name again. Charlie Palmer is an acclaimed American chef, restaurateur, and hotelier, renowned for pioneering Progressive American cuisine and owning multiple Michelin-starred restaurants. Charlie Palmer began his professional career at The River Café in 1983, where he became executive chef at age 23 and earned three stars from The New York Times. He trained notable chefs including Michael Mina and George Morrone. In 1988, he opened his flagship restaurant, Aureole, in Manhattan, showcasing regional American ingredients and his signature Progressive American cuisine, which reinterprets classic European techniques using American artisanal products . Over the years, Palmer expanded his restaurant empire to include Charlie Palmer Steak locations in New York, Las Vegas, Reno, and Washington, D.C., as well as boutique hotels and other dining concepts such as Dry Creek Kitchen, AperiBar, and St. Cloud Rooftop Bar. His restaurants have collectively earned over 20 Michelin stars and multiple James Beard awards. In addition to his restaurants, Palmer co-founded Appellation Hotels, a culinary-first hotel brand, with properties in Healdsburg, Lodi, and planned locations in California and Utah. Each hotel features Charlie Palmer restaurants and interactive culinary experiences. His new cookbook, Wineland, that features many of our friends in wine country, is available now. [Ep 417] www.charliepalmer.com/books/wineland/ Tess Housholder — Sommelier, Appellation Healdsburg Tess Housholder is a Sommelier and hospitality professional based in Geyserville, California, with a background in wine education, hospitality management, and event operations. She was recently featured in Vogue Magazine as a Gen Z Somm to watch. We were excited at the opportunity to speak with a young Somm running a high-profile project in wine country. @tesshousholder

Norah is visiting Tucson this week, so she has stopped by the studio to procure some Mango affection (via bribery) and make an appearance on the podcast!

On this week's episode of The Wine Makers, we speak to Vine Pair's Winemaker of the year Katy Wilson. Katy is a certified bad ass in the wine industry making wine for Anaba, Reeve, Bloodroot, and her own brand LaRue Wines. Katy grew up with agriculture in her blood, farming walnuts on her family’s farm. After double majoring in Wine & Viticulture and Agricultural Business at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, Katy got the winemaking bug traveling the world to make wines with some of the greats. Today we talk about all things carbonic maceration. Katy has been using carbonic maceration to make fresh delicious wines for her clients for years and advised our very own Danielle Langlois with her 2025 Gamay. Katy brought some really cool carbonically made Pinot, Grenache, and Sangiovese wines for us to try, some young, and spicy, and some fresh but subdued with a bit of age. Katy also brought some bottles from her personal label LaRue.  We tasted a coastal, mouth watering, acid-driven 2021 Chardonnay from H. Klopp Vineyards and an elegant and aromatically expressive 2023 Cabernet from Bedrock Vineyards. The Cabernet is from her Charlie LeRue series, a project with her Sommelier husband, David Meneses, and named for her daughter. Katy's wines are elegant and nuanced, expressing a sense of place.  If you have the opportunity to taste any of her wines, you won’t be disappointed. One of those opportunities will be at her yearly LaRue Summer BBQ, where you can taste through her current releases and some special library wines.

Sake is not a beverage we often cover on the podcast, but when we had the chance to talk to one of the great sake makers in the world, we jumped at the chance. In this episode we introduce you to Jun Kono of Sohomare, one of the world's premier sake makers, and Leo Lê Sommelier of the great Kappo Sono in New York City and Momoya. What a treat to meet these two leaders in their respective businesses, and get to know them. As you know, sake is often called “rice wine,” but that is not the best description of it because the brewing process is so different and complex. And while many sake makers are trying to chase more accessible and fresher versions of sake, Sohomare is focused on making deep, complex, and elegant sake that is made to be eaten with food. We know you will learn a ton, like we did, in this conversation, and come away with a new appreciation for one of the most significant alcoholic beverages in human history. 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

She's a certified Sommelier and wine educator and the beautiful human behind her social media, Confidence Uncorked (https://www.confidenceuncorked.com/). The conversation started rockin' and rollin' right as we hit record and Warner showed up with the stories, the knowledge, and why she's working so hard to take the seriousness (and the snobbery) out of wine. She wants to "meet people where they're at" within their own wine journey and make the whole experience more fun.

The idea of food and wine pairing is elusive at best. If you gave five Sommeliers the same dish and a host of wines to pair with the dish, you could very easily get five different suggestions. I know for me, when I pair wine and food, my first ideas usually don't work. Enter Dr. Peter Klosse and his research.   If you've ever stared at a wine list or picked up a tasting note and thought, "There's got to be a better way to make sense of all this," then this episode of Wine Talks is for you. Paul K sits down with Peter Klosse, the Dutch chef and flavor scientist who's shaking the very foundation of how we talk about taste. What unfolds is an insightful, casual, and story-rich conversation that bridges the wide and sometimes intimidating gap between what we like to eat and drink—and why we like it in the first place. Peter, who founded the Academy of Gastronomy and has worked with everyone from Michelin-star restaurants to academic researchers, brings forward the argument that taste doesn't have to be mysterious or completely subjective. He outlines how measurable factors—molecules, acidity, and something he elegantly calls "mouthfeel"—can, and should, inform how we approach both food and wine. Gone are the days of rigid regional traditions and cryptic sommelier speak. Instead, Peter's methods empower anyone, from the everyday wine lover to the master chef, to connect with wine and food on a deeper level. The episode is peppered with from-the-trenches anecdotes: Paul recounts customer calls from Europe, diners who try to recapture that perfect vacation meal at home, and the generational tug-of-war over wine language. Peter's responses never fail to surprise, elegantly reframing frustration into scientific curiosity and actionable tools. He's not out to replace the magic of a great meal—just to help everyone understand and repeat it, whether it's in a three-star restaurant or at your own dinner table. What's especially exciting is how Peter breaks down the concept of "liking" into something actionable. He describes how chefs and hosts can tailor dishes to individual preferences using the simple, science-based tools his research has uncovered. By the time the show wraps, you'll have a new lens for your next glass of wine, and a deeper appreciation for the art-meets-science at the center of every great meal. What you'll learn in this episode:

Episode 177 brings together two things Atlanta takes seriously: lemon pepper chicken wings and great wine. Recorded live at The Perlant, this episode features five Atlanta sommeliers taking on a pairing challenge to find the perfect wine combo for Chef Dene Lynn's wings while a panel of culinary judges and media personalities share honest reactions, thoughtful insights, and plenty of lively debate along the way. For the event, Chef Dene (@chefdenelynn) prepared two distinct versions of her signature wings, highlighting both the bold flavor and cultural importance of one of Atlanta's most beloved dishes. Beyond her work in the kitchen, Chef Dene serves as an Instructional Manager at the Navigate Foundation, where she helps train and mentor the next generation of culinary professionals through education, workforce development, and community outreach. Her work with Atlanta chef collectives, food security initiatives, and the Atlanta Botanical Garden has made her an important part of the city's culinary community. From unexpected wine selections to conversations about flavor, hospitality, and Atlanta food culture, this episode captures the fun and spontaneity of a live audience experience.
