Podcasts about Sparkling wine

This is a Vintage Selection from 2007The ConversationThe Restaurant Guys talk with John Scharffenberger about his premium line of chocolate which is the first “bean to bar” chocolate made in the United States. John talks about the history, sourcing and the crucial details in creating some of the finest chocolate in the world!The Inside TrackThe Guys were fans of John's sparkling wine and are fans of his chocolate. This is how John describes his on-the-job training after his career shift. “ I think we were just stupid when we started and the only way we knew how to do things were the way I had done things in the wine business [which] was just to be really careful about flavor. So we treated the beans like we used to treat grapes. We did blind tastings, we did lots of blind tastings, and only accepted beans that had flavors that we liked,” John Scharffenberger on The Restaurant Guys Podcast 2007BioJohn Scharffenberger started Scharffenberger Cellars known for their world-class California sparkling wine. He left the winery and started Scharffen Berger Chocolates in 1997 with Robert Steinberg. InfoJohn's cookbookEssence of Chocolate: Recipes for Baking and Cooking with Fine ChocolateBy John Scharffenberger and Rober SteinbergScharffen Berger Chocolate is no longer owned by John Scharffenberger and Robert Steinberg.

Welcome back to another episode of Drinks at the Library, the podcast where we pair the perfect drink with the perfect book. Today, we're diving into a love story that bends time and breaks hearts—The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. It's a tale of fate, longing, and the delicate threads that tie us to the people we love...even if time itself tries to pull us apart. My guest this week is Heather Maury, a Richmond-area librarian and a life-long reader. Her favorite book, to this day, is the children's book, "Mandy" by Julie Edwards (better known as Julie Andrews). Anything by TJ Klune and Sadeqa Johnson are instant buys for her. She loves movies, especially anything that Henry Cavill is in, anything that features Tom Cruise running, and anything that's a musical. She is a die-hard Duranie and a certified Swiftie. She lives with 5 cats, 2 dogs, a guinea pig, and some fish. Oh, and she also has two kids (a college freshman and a 1st grader) and a husband. To match this beautifully complex narrative, our drink this week is The Ephemeral Encounter a cocktail plays with the idea of fleeting moments and the blending of different times —just like Henry and Clare's love story. So, pour yourself a glass, get comfortable, and let's unravel the timelines of this unforgettable romance. The "Ephemeral Encounter" Cocktail: This cocktail plays with the idea of fleeting moments and the blending of different times. Ingredients: 1.5 oz Gin (a classic spirit, representing the timeless nature of their love)0.75 oz Elderflower Liqueur (St. Germain, for a touch of ethereal sweetness and floral notes, like fleeting memories)0.5 oz Fresh Lemon Juice (for a bright, sharp contrast, representing the jarring moments of time travel)0.25 oz Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur (a hint of cherry, for the sweet, romantic core of their relationship, with a slight "old fashioned" feel)2-3 Dashes of Lavender Bitters (to add a calming, slightly mysterious element, like the ever-present mystery of Henry's travels)Sparkling Wine or Soda Water (to top, adding effervescence, like the unpredictable flow of time)Lavender sprig and a cherry, for garnish. In this Episode The American Library Association The Time Travelers Wife - film The Time Travelers Wife - TV show

Send us a textDive into the world of affordable luxury with our exploration of Aldi's hidden gem – the $9.99 Ravini California Sparkling Wine. This budget-friendly bubbly defies expectations with its elegant profile and quality craftsmanship, proving that champagne-style sophistication doesn't require champagne-style pricing.We uncover the fascinating details behind this wallet-friendly sparkler, from its Hindu-inspired name connected to passion and the god Shiva, to its production by Rack and Riddle – the custom sparkling wine house responsible for creating bubblies for numerous major California wine brands. What you're getting is essentially expert winemaking at a fraction of the cost you'd pay for other labels produced by the same craftspeople.The subtle flavor profile featuring hints of cherry, red fruits, and grapefruit might suggest a blend including Pinot Noir, while the well-balanced acidity provides a delightful lingering finish that keeps you coming back for more. The traditional French champagne method (method traditionnel) creates those fine, persistent bubbles that dance on your palate with each sip. Far from being a shortcoming, the wine's restraint and subtlety contribute to its surprising elegance – a quality typically associated with much more expensive bottles.Whether you're searching for an affordable option for celebrations, casual gatherings, or just Tuesday night enjoyment, this Aldi sparkler delivers remarkable value.

It's a hodgepodge this week on Behind the Mitten, with stories coming at you from all over Michigan.We start off the show with Angie Quinn, the executive director of the Michigan Legacy Art Park, which is located at Crystal Mountain in Thompsonville. We recently got to do a snowy hike through this very unique art experience, and interviewed Angie trailside afterwards. Spread out over thirty beautiful acres, the Art Park boasts two miles of hiking trails that take you around almost fifty different sculptures. The park has been leasing this space from the resort, but just last year Crystal donated the land to the organization permanently. It is a super cool way to experience art, you can enter the park from dawn to dusk, on foot, snowshoes or skis.Then we have a first on Behind the Mitten, as Amy interivews her husband Jerry Adams. A graduate of the University of Michigan, Jerry shares some of his former favorite haunts, and how they have changed over the years. With a daughter currently attending U of M, we visit regularly, and recently got to enjoy burgers and fries at Krazy Jim's Blimpie Burger, a favorite no matter when you graduated. We'll explain how to order these famous burgers, the key is to just answer the question.Next, we'll catch up with our friend Mike Laing, who co-owns two wineries with his brother Peter, Mawby Vineyards and Big Little Wjnes. From all-bubbly to traditional wines, the vineyards make some great liquids, including the super fun, and totally NA Safe Sex from Mawby, and sparkling non-alcoholic additin to their lineup. Learn more about Safe Sex:https://www.spreaker.com/episode/let-s-have-safe-sex-this-valentine-s-day-with-mawby-vineyards--64358477Finally, Brant Austin from Austin Brothers Beer Company in Alpena joins us again. The last time we had them on was a lifetime ago, pre-pandemic. They are celebrating ten years in business at the tip of the pointer here in Michigan, and brothers Blake and Brant couldn't be prouder. Honestly, so are we. This family moved from Californai after falling in love with Alpena on a Griswold-family road trip, and they've built a thriving local business in their adopted home town.

For Episode 68, we pop the cork on a sparkling conversation with Wendy Outhwaite, co-founder of Ambriel, an English sparkling wine producer with a serious commitment to quality—and a playful side to match. Nestled in the rolling hills of West Sussex, Ambriel crafts wines with a “palate, not wallet” approach, letting patience and precision take the lead (some bottles rest on lees for over six years before they make their grand debut). Wendy takes us behind the scenes of Ambriel's journey—from a five-year quest to find the perfect vineyard to embracing greensand terroir that's as rare as it is remarkable. We chat about hand-picking, blind blending, and why the Outhwaites refuse to let their wines leave the estate until they're truly ready. And of course, we dive into Ambriel's spirited branding—think corks stamped with ‘Huzzah!' and a name that gives a nod to angels, ambrosia, and a certain quip from Pope Gregory. With Wendy's razor-sharp wit and infectious passion, this episode is a proper toast to English fizz. So grab a glass, settle in, and let's raise a hearty Huzzah! to the future of British bubbles.   For more information about our Podcast, visit us on the web: https://readbetweenthewinespodcast.com   Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/betweenthewinesmedia   Connect with us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/read-between-the-wines     

Don't say we didn't warn you - because once you try this wine, you may never go back to Prosecco! Don't get us wrong. We like a nice Aperol spritz made with Prosecco, and Prosecco was the sparkling wine that opened our eyes to sparkling wine, but if you want a more elegant, interesting, and food friendly wine, Franciacorta cleans Prosecco's clock! There is a reason that Franciacorta and not Prosecco is considered to be a competitor to Champagne. Made in the same method as Champagne (Prosecco is not) and from similar grapes (which, again, Prosecco is not), Franciacorta has a taste and mouthfeel that is unique and complex, and if there are some of you out there who just don't get what all the fuss is about Champagne or about Prosecco, you may find that Franciacorta is the sparkling wine you have been waiting for. We cover what the similarities and differences are between Franciacorta, Champagne, and Prosecco, and this week, we found two great Franciacorta wines that are excellent options if you are curious and don't want to break the bank.

Text the ShowCava is a wine, a style, and a tradition of Penedès since the 1860s. There is far more to consider than the stacks of affordable bubbly at the end of a wine aisle. There is real substance to be found and great quality to be experienced alongside the Thursday night versions. Invest 10 minutes in knowing Cava.

Sparkling wines produced in the traditional method (methode champenoise) are made around world. Champagne remains the benchmark and a protected designation. But elsewhere in France one can find crémants made in the same method with second fermentation taking place in the bottle. Italy has Franciacorta DOCG, and Spain has Cava D.O.

BOB'S BEST BUYS Wine: No.1 Family Cuvee Assemblage Cuvee Marlborough Methode Traditionelle, $36 Why I chose it: French winemaker Daniel Le Brun and his family pioneered Methode winemaking in Marlborough and have made some of NZ's best bottle-fermented sparkling wines – always with a French accent. It's a blend of three grape varieties; pinot noir, chardonnay and pinot meunier. It has been cellared for 3-5 years. This is truly a truly stylish sparkler that offers great value at this price. Perfect Christmas wine – everyone will love it. If it survives Christmas, enjoy it on New Year's Eve. What does it taste like? It tastes like champagne with citrus, apple, and freshly baked baguette crust. It has a seductively creamy texture. Why it's a bargain: It is one-third the price of good champagne but it is certainly not one-third the quality. Where can you buy it? Whisky and More, Waikato $34.99 The Hamilton Beer and Wine Co $35.99 Food match? Freshly shucked oysters Will it keep? A few years if stored well (write the date of purchase on the bottle) LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With the holidays coming, I thought it would be a good time to do a show on a different kind of sparkling wine, so this time I cover Italy's premier traditional method sparkling wine, Franciacorta. Map: Consorzio per la tutela del Franciacorta   Franciacorta is a high quality Italian sparkling wine made in the area of Brescia in Lombardy (the Italian region where Milan is located).  Franciacorta, as a sparkling wine, came into being in the 1960s but it didn't take long for it to gain a favorable reputation, which still holds today. With very distinctive geographical features and a unique microclimate, the wines here are marked by a balance of excellent acidity and lovely aromas of fruit, flowers, nuts and more.   The thing that makes Franciacorta stand out among other sparklers from Italy is that wines from this region can only be produced using the traditional method (like Champagne, unlike Prosecco) and must be made primarily from the French grapes – Chardonnay, Pinot nero (Pinot noir), and Pinot bianco (Pinot blanc). Photo: Consorzio per la tutela del Franciacorta   Despite the similarities with their French counterpart, the terroir in Franciacorta presents weather patterns that include a lake effect, Alpine breezes, and ample wind. The entire area was formed by glacial movement – no by a small sea receding and leaving a bed of chalky limestone as was the case in Champagne.       Priced at a premium, these wines are ideal if you love Champagne or sparkling wine but want something fruitier, fuller, and with less piercing acidity. Photo: Consorzio per la tutela del Franciacorta   In this show I cover the history, terroir, grapes, winemaking, and the three types of Franciacorta: nonvintage, rosé, and saten and the overlying classifications of millesimato and riserva.

Armenia may be the oldest wine making region in the world, and yet, have you ever had wine from Armenia? There are some good reasons why that may be, and probably most likely because when they were part of the Soviet Union, the government forced them to make fortified wines like brandy, and the winemaking industry was forced to go underground. Over the past few decades, however, winemaking is having a bit of a renaissance, led by people like Vahe and Aimee Keushguerian who literally risk their lives to make wine. Inspired by the documentary Cup of Salvation based on a recommendation from a listener, we set out to find some Armenian wines - and we found them (and so can you!). The story of these wines and the people who make them is fascinating and more than worth learning about. Please join us to start your own journey to find out more about Armenian wine!

For Episode 62, we're heading to England to explore the country's booming wine industry. Our guests are Kirsty Goring, co-owner and Brand Director, along with the brilliant winemaker Marcus Rayner-Ward, from Wiston Estate in Sussex, England. Owned by Kirsty and her husband, Rick Goring, Wiston Estate is more than just a winery—it's a fully functioning farm, home to a restaurant called Chalk, and even offers several properties for rent. Their sparkling wines are so exceptional, they could make even the finest Champagne producers rethink their craft. When most of us think of England, we imagine shepherd's pie, fish & chips, tea, and a cracking G&T. But now, wine—especially sparkling wine—deserves a spot on that list. While this may feel new to some, it's actually more of a revival. Winemaking in England dates back to the Roman era, and English wines thrived in the Middle Ages. However, the industry declined in the 18th and 19th centuries due to climate shifts and the rise of imported French wines. Come explore the English countryside with us. Sussex is stunning this time of year, and this is precisely where the bubbles part away with Champagne…

With an eye on sustainability and a thirst for innovation, these winemakers are crafting wines that reflect the region's unique terroir in bold and unexpected ways.

What's more American than sparkling wine?!? Seriously, we make a lot of sparkling wine in the U.S. and we drink a lot of sparkling wine, too! And we think there is hardly anything better on warm summer afternoons and evenings than a nice glass of bubbly! Don't save sparkling just for serious occasions. And on July 4th?!? Sparkling wine is perfection! This week, we talk about California sparkling wines and what makes them similar and different from the great sparkling wine Champagne, and we taste and review two reasonably priced California sparkling wines that we think are great choices for the 4th of July, or any random Tuesday during the summer! One of the wines we think would also be a fantastic option for the oaky Chardonnay lover in your life. So, if you have not been able to convince them that oaky Chardonnay is overrated, maybe you can at least get them to drink a nice sparkling wine with you!

It hits all the right notes for a DOC Prosecco. The nose has slight floral aromas with a hint of poached apples. The palate is very refreshing, with casual bubbles and great balanced fruit. You could trick some folks into thinking it costs more." Non Vintage Zardetto Prosecco Brut Z Non Vintage "Fresh and sapid. Pleasantly acidic thanks to the citrus note enhanced by the flavour of green apple." - Winery Non Vintage Issimo Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Docg Extra Dry "Direct from the Veneto region, this sparkling white wine is produced in the Heart of the Prosecco producing region in the town of Refrontolo. It is made from 100% Glera grapes that are fermented and then refermented to preserve their organoleptic quality. The second fermentation employs the “Martinotti” method, also known by the French name “Charmat.” Ideal as an aperitif, with appetizers of savoury pies, canapes and throughout the meal, first courses and fish dishes." - Winery 2022 Silvano Follador Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Extra Brut "The wine is an ‘extra brut' with no residual sugar, a decision we intentionally made to enhance the original flavor and achieve a natural balance between acidity, sapidity and structure." - Winery Check out my new book - Day Trading Attention: https://garyvee.com/dta — Thanks for watching! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/garyvee/message
