Did you know that most red wine grapes do not have red flesh? That is what makes teinturier grapes so unique, and why this is a great episode for expanding your wine knowledge and wine horizons. Alicante Bouschet, as would be appropriate, is one of those grapes. Derived from the French term for “dye” or “stain,” teinturier grapes have red flesh to match their red skins. Crazy, right?!? Alicante Bouschet is not a wine for the faint of heart. Hailing from Portugal and Spain, where it is better known as Garnacha Tintorera, this is a big, bold wine that will knock your socks off. In this episode, we discuss what the teinturier grapes are, and why Alicante Bouschet was a favorite wine for home winemakers during Prohibition. If you are a looking for an alternative to the same old Cabernet Sauvignon, this could be the wine for you.

A 10 point wine in this episode! If you want a higher-class alternative to Prosecco at the same price point, then Cava is your wine. Cava is an underrated sparkling wine from Spain that is made in the same way as Champagne, but at a fraction of the cost. Cava is unique among sparkling wines - it is made with native Spanish grapes like Macabeo, Xarel-lo, and Parellada which give it a very specific pear + citrus + bitterness that is refreshing and exciting. Cava is a fantastic party and celebration wine, too, because not only is it bubbly, delicious, and fun, it also often comes in bottles that sparkle and shine themselves, too. While there are several areas of Spain that are allowed to make Cava, the home of Cava is the Penedes region, and the hometown of Cava is Sant Sadurni D'Anoia, just outside of Barcelona.

Summer, summer, summer.  Long days, vacations, staycations, friends, family and fun.  Hot days and warm nights call for a style change in your go-to wines.  Rosés and whites reign supreme.  We're totally on board, but this summer, we're pouring a few new white wines into our glass and bringing you along for the ride!As two bubble loving wine friends, Kristi's first surprise for Charisse is the Sparkling Riesling NV from Coeur Cause Wines.  Not only is this crisp, fresh, citrus forward bubbly deliciously refreshing, a percent of every bottle sold supports one of Coeur Cause's charities.  Owner Stacy Bellew partners with winemaker Josh Maloney to bring a sparkler which maintains the flavor and aroma (think petrol) so true to Riesling.  Think you don't like Riesling, this beauty will change your mind!Next up, Txakoli (sounds like broccoli) from Basa Lore.  Made from the Hondarrabi Zuri grape varietal, this lightly fizzy wine is typical of the Getariako Txakolina D.O. in the Basque Country of Spain.  Think steep slopes, green Spain, crisp ocean breezes and this wine exudes the perfect accompaniment to any and all of your summer fun.  It's bright.  It's crisp.  It's definitely worth hunting down to stock your fridge.  Txakoli loosely translates to “enough for the home” but we're not sure there actually is enough of this Summer delight.  Sharing her Basque and Txakoli expertise with us is Dr. Kerri Lesh, or Dr. Txakoli.Kristi's summer adventure in Wisconsin and Minnesota afforded a visit to Saint Croix Vineyards with Peter Hemstad, co-owner, for a vineyard-based exploration into the world of grape variety creation.  One of the results?  Itasca!  This superb creation not only withstands the frigid MN winters, it is also hardy enough to resist pests and disease which can plague vineyards.  With 23 varieties of wine, many lesser known varietals created by Peter and the University of Minnesota, this winery should be on everyone's vacation destination top 10.Hailing from La Pradera Vineyard in the Texas High Plains rounds out the final four.  From Tatum Cellars, this single vineyard, single varietal Roussanne is a rare expression of the varietal as a stand alone.  Most typically blended in the southern Rhône region of France, this wine lets Roussanne shine.  Juicy, spicy, toasty yet maintaining a freshness made for summer drinking.  While we know it may be impossible to find these wines in your local wine shop, we hope you'll get them shipped to your doorstep in time for this weekend's summer fling!Show Sponsors:> The Magnolia in Fort Worth> The Texas Wine ClubDon't forget to FOLLOW, LIKE, COMMENT, SHARE and let us know any topics you'd like us to cover!Cheers!

In this episode, we talk about, taste, and review three Albariño wines, two from Spain, and one from Oregon, and we'll let you know what we think about how they taste and if they are worth your hard earned money! We also talk about why white wines are sometimes not as highly regarded as red wines, and what makes the region that comes from Albariño so special. Hint - it rains a lot in Galicia! Wines reviewed in this episode: 2020 Condes De Albarei Albariño, 2021 Abacela Albariño, and 2020 Laxas Rias Baixas Albariño.

JamesSuckling.com Senior Editor Zekun Shuai interviews Robert Santana of Spain's Envinate about his winemaking philosophies. "We want to taste wines that take you to the place," Robert says. "The second important thing for us is the character," which comes from a deep understanding of how vintages are affected by the weather each year, and the third element is the "soul" of the wine – "that is the people that are around in the vineyard and in the cellar. We think it's very important that these people are happy and understand [our philosophies] and do the work."
