Podcasts about tastings

Located at the opposite ends of the country, the states of Louisiana and Maine appear to share little in common at first glance. But take a closer look, and you'll see two places that share a passion for their distinct seafood culture – each home to a galaxy of culinary rockstars who elevate their local cuisine. On this week's show, Louisiana Eats takes you with us as we travel to Maine to explore the food scene in the Pine Tree State. We begin with Lady Oyster Tours and Tastings in Phippsburg, on the Casco Bay Peninsula. Owner and operator Virginia Shaffer is Maine's first "oyster sommelier," or certified oyster expert under the Oyster Master Guild. Throughout the year, Virginia and her company educate tourists on the local oyster industry, offering tastings and boat tours of oyster farming operations. She tells us about Maine's rapidly growing oyster industry, before Captain Joe Jerome steers us to get a first-hand look at an oyster farm. Then, we travel up the coast to meet Melissa Kelly, the first two-time recipient of the James Beard award for Best Chef Northeast. Melissa tells us about her Rockland farm-to-table restaurant, Primo and her remarkable life in food. We also meet farm manager Abigail Gallagher, who gives us a tour of the multi-acre farm surrounding the restaurant. Next, we visit the small town of Bath to dine in a restaurant overlooking the Kennebec River called OystHERS Raw Bar and Bubby. The seasonal raw bar is owned by sisters Sadia and Lauren Crosby, both lobstermen's daughters from nearby Georgetown Island. Sadia owns a sea farm, where the house oysters are produced. Lauren tells us the story behind OystHERS, which serves up fresh bivalves from local female-owned and family-owned farms. And who should we run into there, but Susan Spicer! The New Orleans chef tells us what she's cooking while cruising up the Atlantic coast. We end our trip at Browne Trading Market, a magical food and drink emporium in Portland. Since 1991, Browne Trading Company has been the supplier of seafood, caviar, and other delicacies to an exclusive restaurant chef customer base. Among our discoveries there were percebes – also known as gooseneck or turtle-claw barnacles – harvested on the Iberian Peninsula and exclusively available from Browne Trading. Specialty foods manager Michael Rigo explains why the job of harvesting these edible crustaceans is not for the faint of heart.

Ein Tag im Zeichen von Craftbeer und Hafen - Unser Craftbeer Crawl geht weiter Im Sommer 2025 machten wir uns auf den Weg zu unserem Hamburg Hafen Craftbeer Crawl. Unsere Route führte uns entlang des Hafens zu ausgewählten Brauereien und Kneipen, wo wir frische Eindrücke direkt ins Mikrofon sprachen. Dieses Mal: Vom Überquell, einer echten Craftbeer-Brauerei mitten in Hamburg, zum Braustädtchen, der Craft Beer Location am Fischmarkt. Überquell: Mehr als nur Bier Im zweiten Teil unseres Hamburg Hafen Craftbeer Crawls landen wir im Überquell, einer lebendigen Craftbeer-Brauerei in den alten Riverkassematten direkt am Hafen. Das Überquell ist bekannt für seine grellen Farben, lauten Biernamen wie „Bambule“, „Palim Palim“ und „Super Duper“ und eine Atmosphäre, die einfach etwas „drüber“ ist – im besten Sinne. Hier trifft man auf Hamburger und Touristen, die gemeinsam die Vielfalt der Craftbeer-Szene schätzen. Besonders beliebt: die hausgemachte Pizza, die perfekt zum Bier passt. Doch Überquell ist nicht nur ein Ort für Bierliebhaber, sondern auch ein Treffpunkt für alle, die das besondere Flair des Hamburger Hafens erleben möchten. Wir lassen wir uns beraten, probieren New Zealand Hazy IPA und ein Franzbrötchen-Stout und sezieren Geschmack, Hopfen und Malz im Detail. Wir erzählen, warum das Überquell für uns nicht nur wegen des Biers, sondern auch wegen seiner Events – vom Eisstockschießen bis Afterwork – ein Fixpunkt in der Hamburger Craft-Beer-Szene ist. Franzbrötchen im Glas & auf dem Teller Das Franzbrötchen-Stout ist tatsächlich ein Höhepunkt, den wir als „Offenbarung an Malz“ feiern: vom karamelligen Schaum bis zu süßen und würzigen Malznoten. Daraus entspinnt sich ein längerer Exkurs über die Hamburger Franzbrötchen-Kultur – von „klitschigem“ Hefeteig über Zimt-Zucker-Mischungen bis hin zu Mini-Franzbrötchen am Stiel und Pflaumen-Franzbrötchen vom Kiez-Bäcker. Zwischen Bierglas und Gebäck diskutieren wir, wie sehr Kindheits-Erfahrungen, Marmeladen und Obstsorten unseren Geschmack prägen – inklusive Geständnissen, welche Früchte wir pur nicht mögen, aber als Aroma im Craft Beer lieben. Erdbeere, Integration und die radikale Apfelfront Ausgehend von der biologischen Tatsache, dass die Erdbeere streng genommen eine Nuss ist, greifen wir einen Aufruf für Integration auf: „Sei wie die Erdbeere“. Sie wird akzeptiert, obwohl sie nicht ins Schema passt. Von dort aus schlagen wir den Bogen zur „radikalen Apfelfront“, rechten Symboliken, politischer Satire und zur PARTEI rund um Martin Sonneborn, der im Europaparlament mit ironischer Aufklärung zeigt, wie Europa funktioniert. Wir sprechen darüber, warum klar gekennzeichneter Bias ehrlicher ist als Pseudo-Neutralität à la „Fair and Balanced“ und wieso Satire helfen kann, komplexe politische Strukturen verständlicher zu machen. Braustädtchen am Fischmarkt: Craft-Beer-Oase mit Melancholie Danach zieht unser Crawl weiter ins Braustädtchen direkt am Fischmarkt. Dort treffen wir auf einen hervorragend sortierten Craft-Beer-Laden mit Tasting-Events, Bierführungen und einem Sortiment von Bille-Brew bis Barbarossa-Grutbier, der leider zum Zeitpunkt der Veröffentlichung schon nicht mehr existiert. Wir kosten uns durch Helles Landbier, Wiener Lager, alkoholfreies „Miami Grove“-Pale Ale und Biere von Sudden Death und Kehrwieder und reden über die Frage, was ein gutes Alltagsbier ausmacht. Touristen, Biertouren und Abschiedsstimmung am Hafen Es kommt auch eine 25-köpfige Bier-Stadtführung vom St.-Pauli-Tour-Office ins Braustädtchen, was uns Gelegenheit gibt, über Biertourismus, Touristenströme und Hamburg als Bierstadt nachzudenken. Gleichzeitig schwingt ein Schwanengesang mit: Wir verabschieden uns von einer weiteren Hamburger Craft-Beer-Adresse und erinnern uns an Tastings in anderen Läden wie „Beyond Beer“. Am Ende bleibt der Mix aus Hafengeruch, Elbe, Fischmarkt, Touristen, Craft Beer und der Erkenntnis, dass Genuss, Stadtgeschichte und Politik erstaunlich gut zusammen in ein Glas

Der April ist da. Und mit diesem Monat auch das Osterfest. Unsere drei Plattbarden waren aktiv: Markus hat einen Kreuzweg beschritten, Marco Eier gekollert und Ralf Dänemark unsicher gemacht. Der April macht halt was er will. Ralf hat aus seinem Urlaubsdomizil zwei Hopfenkaltschorlen mit ins Kellerstudio gebracht: das Svaneke Stout weiß durch seine schwarze Farbe, malzige Noten und Rauch zu überzeugen. Anders verhält sich das Rum N´Beer aus dem Hause Thisted Bryhus aus Dänemark. In jedem Fall einzigartig aber leider schwer zu genießen. Der Gewinner des heutigen Tastings - das Estrella Galicia, ein leckeres, helles Exportbier aus Spanien. Lecker. In der Rubrik "Die steile These" sprechen wir über das Leben auf dem Dorf. Finden hier Auswärtige schneller ein zu Hause als in der Stadt? Heute erfahrt ihr, was es mit den Begriffen Krülliisen, Wuppdi, Waterdoktor, Wippkes oder auch einer Glättstange auf sich hat.

Dan and Darryl. Darryl Miller is back on California Wine Country with Dan Berger and Daedalus Howell, with wines from two Sonoma County wineries, Dehlinger Winery in the west county and Peterson Winery in Dry Creek Valley. He has been on CWC a few times, the most recent is this episode on July 18, 2025. Darryl Miller is retired from the wholesale wine business. He works with the Dehlinger winery, assisting and advising them with their sales and marketing. He even used to live on that property in the 1980s. Darryl also works as an advisor to the Peterson family in Dry Creek Valley. Dan Berger and Darryl Miller met when they were judges at a wine competition about 40 years ago. They found that they appreciated the same qualities of structure and balance in wine. For Dan, there is no such thing as a great wine that does not show good balance. There are unbalanced 100 point wines that are by definition, not great. The Goldilocks Dilemma Darryl agrees. They are either too heavy or light. They are not made well. Darryl describes the Peterson's method as zero manipulation. They grow the right fruit the right way and then they don't have to intervene. The wine being tasted is a 2024 “3V” made of three Italian white grapes whose names begin with V. Vernaccia 37%, with a kind of chalkiness to it. Darryl says it's like Chablis. They also blend in some Vermentino which has some pineapple tropical fruit flavors. Then some Verdello, which has grapefruit rind flavors, similar to a Sauvignon Blanc. CWC is brought to you by Deodora Estate Vineyards. Visit Deodora to discover 72 acres in the Petaluma Gap that are producing exceptional Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling. Sip the difference!  They make the three wines separately and then blend them. There is also a red blend, of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre. They call it GSM or GMS, in order of appearance. Blends Are Back Blends are becoming popular again. This is because winemakers find that if they have Grenache and some other varieties, they can end up with a better wine by blending them. That is better than making single varietals  which by themselves may not be as good as the blend. Dan objects to blends that don't tell you what is in the bottle. We want to know what is in it. It is not illegal to do, but does not help. The Peterson wines are very careful about telling the percentages in blends.

Send a textThe wine industry keeps saying they want to attract younger drinkers and make wine more approachable… but their actions say otherwise.Wine dinners are still $200–$300 per person. Tastings focus on $100+ bottles. Events are held in white tablecloth restaurants.Meanwhile, the wines that actually bring people into the category — the $20–$40 bottles that overdeliver — barely get any attention.If the industry truly wants to attract younger wine drinkers, the approach needs to change.In this episode I talk about:• Why the wine industry struggles to attract younger drinkers • The missing $20–$40 wine conversation • Why wine dinners should include pizza, tacos, burgers, and BBQ • How wine can be a better value than cocktails on a night out • What the wine industry could do to make wine cool againWine doesn't need to be pretentious to be great.It just needs to be fun, social, and accessible.

 In today's episode, I sat down with Carey Harnash, the driving force behind the Western North Carolina Whiskey Festival. We explored his journey from whiskey enthusiast to founder of a festival dedicated to education, community, and of course, great whiskey. Carey opened up about his passion for bringing together local distilleries, whiskey lovers of all levels, and supporting the WNC Harvest and Heritage Foundation. We dove deep into the event's unique educational experiences, the importance of responsible tasting, and how the proceeds help food insecurity and local heritage projects. It was a lively, flavorful conversation, and not just because Carey arrived with a bag full of interesting whiskey samples! Carey Harnash is more than a collector of whiskey bottles; he's an advocate for community, hospitality, and discovery. As executive director of the WNC Harvest and Heritage Foundation, Carey works to directly support local charities focused on food insecurity and preserving North Carolina's cultural heritage. His event planning skills previously brought the hugely successful food truck showdowns to Asheville, featured on the Food Network. Now, with the Western North Carolina Whiskey Festival, Carey aims to create an annual gathering where whiskey novices and aficionados alike can taste, learn, connect, and make a difference in their own backyard. "100% of the proceeds [go] to the WNC Harvest and Heritage Foundation. So we're able to grant money to those local charities that do it really well and are very efficient with their funding." ~Carey Harnash Today on Consuming the Craft: • The Western North Carolina Whiskey Festival is designed for anyone passionate about whiskey, whether a newcomer or a seasoned collector. • Ticket proceeds go directly to support local charities focused on food insecurity and preserving cultural heritage through the WNC Harvest and Heritage Foundation. • There are three types of tickets: general admission, VIP (with early access), and a designated driver option to encourage responsible enjoyment. • The festival features educational breakout sessions, including grain-to-glass, nosing and tasting, and finishing techniques in whiskey. • Attendees get to sample a wide array of whiskeys—bourbon, rye, Irish, Scotch, Japanese—and engage directly with the makers and distributors. • The event strengthens Asheville's hospitality and beverage community by highlighting talented local bartenders, makers, and culinary professionals. • Tastings allow for informed purchasing decisions; trying before buying means finding you actually enjoy, and understanding flavor profiles. • The festival is more than just whiskey; it's about bringing people together, sharing stories, and supporting meaningful local causes.Contact Carey Harnash: • Website: www.wncwhiskeyfest.com • Follow on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok for updates and ticket info This episode is brought to you by… McConnell Farms - Taste the Way You Remember.

In this lively, laughter-filled episode, Janina chats with Tom Gilbey - the man who made wine fun again by tasting a different bottle at every mile of a marathon. They dive into everything from the fossil-rich soils of Chablis and the changing world of en primeur Bordeaux, to how to host your own playful blind tastings at home. Along the way, Tom shares tips for making wine approachable (and hilarious), highlights his favorite Bordeaux wines and “Super Seconds,” and reminds us that enjoying a bottle should be full of joy, stories, and a little mischief. Shownotes  [01:42] Wine fact of the episode — the history behind the 1855 Bordeaux Classification and how it still shapes prestige and pricing today. [05:05] Tom shares how his viral “Wine Marathon” began: tasting a different wine every mile, his son's support, and the unexpected global response that followed. [08:36] From chaos to community - how a family experiment turned into a worldwide audience and new passion for wine communication. [11:17] The art of blind tasting - from marathon guesses to what he learned about focus, humility, and having fun with wine. [13:03] Janina and Tom discuss Thirsty and how his stories highlight the humour, generosity, and humanity of the wine trade. [15:33] Why blind tasting should be playful - ideas for home tastings, favourite tricky grapes like Nerello Mascalese and Baga, and the concept of “Wine Sports Day.” [21:30] Turning to Bordeaux — Tom's reflections on 2005 vintages, learning from Robert Parker, and how palate trends shaped global styles. [25:23] Bordeaux today: en primeur uncertainty, Château Latour's exit from the system, and why Tom says wine should be enjoyed, not invested in. [28:27] Blind tasting first growths versus super seconds - and how labels, price, and reputation influence what we think we taste. [31:03] Highlights on Château Montrose, Léoville Las Cases, and La Mission Haut-Brion - some of the ‘Super-Seconds'.

S3 E12 The Burgundy Experience In this jet-lagged, joy-filled episode, Bob Cutler returns from a whirlwind trip through Burgundy, France. He's joined by Craft Guild Beer of Maine Brand Manager Justin Frazell to relive their week of vineyards, vintages, and very little sleep -- recalling Grand Cru tastings, Roman cellars, escargot, and French hospitality. Key Topics The Soul of Burgundy The episode captures how Burgundy blends culture, family, and craftsmanship—where even the smallest vineyards welcome guests like family, and history pours from every glass. Wine Without Walls From natural wines to family lunches, Bob and Justin highlight authenticity over pretense—celebrating those who open their homes, their cellars, and their hearts to visitors. Travel as a Toast to Life Whether it's Barolo or Bordeaux next, the duo celebrates the idea that shared travel deepens appreciation for wine, friendship, and the art of living well.

Located at the opposite ends of the country, the states of Louisiana and Maine appear to share little in common at first glance. But take a closer look, and you'll see two places that share a passion for their distinct seafood culture – each home to a galaxy of culinary rockstars who elevate their local cuisine. On this week's show, Louisiana Eats takes you with us as we travel to Maine to explore the food scene in the Pine Tree State. We begin with Lady Oyster Tours and Tastings in Phippsburg, on the Casco Bay Peninsula. Owner and operator Virginia Shaffer is Maine's first "oyster sommelier," or certified oyster expert under the Oyster Master Guild. Throughout the year, Virginia and her company educate tourists on the local oyster industry, offering tastings and boat tours of oyster farming operations. She tells us about Maine's rapidly growing oyster industry, before Captain Joe Jerome steers us to get a first-hand look at an oyster farm. Then, we travel up the coast to meet Melissa Kelly, the first two-time recipient of the James Beard award for Best Chef Northeast. Melissa tells us about her Rockland farm-to-table restaurant, Primo and her remarkable life in food. We also meet farm manager Abigail Gallagher, who gives us a tour of the multi-acre farm surrounding the restaurant. Next, we visit the small town of Bath to dine in a restaurant overlooking the Kennebec River called OystHERS Raw Bar and Bubby. The seasonal raw bar is owned by sisters Sadia and Lauren Crosby, both lobstermen's daughters from nearby Georgetown Island. Sadia owns a sea farm, where the house oysters are produced. Lauren tells us the story behind OystHERS, which serves up fresh bivalves from local female-owned and family-owned farms. And who should we run into there, but Susan Spicer! The New Orleans chef tells us what she's cooking while cruising up the Atlantic coast. We end our trip at Browne Trading Market, a magical food and drink emporium in Portland. Since 1991, Browne Trading Company has been the supplier of seafood, caviar, and other delicacies to an exclusive restaurant chef customer base. Among our discoveries there were percebes – also known as gooseneck or turtle-claw barnacles – harvested on the Iberian Peninsula and exclusively available from Browne Trading. Specialty foods manager Michael Rigo explains why the job of harvesting these edible crustaceans is not for the faint of heart.

I thought this episode was going to be about blind tastings. And it is. Or, at least, it starts that way. But when you're talking with Marissa, aka @tequilaencyclopedia , you rarely take as straight a path as you'd expect. So if you want to listen to a conversation about that … or about CostCo … or about the Agavos Awards … or how much I paid Marissa to join me on a trip to 818 Tequila, this episode is for you!Agave Road Trip is a critically acclaimed, award-winning podcast that helps gringx bartenders better understand agave, agave spirits, and rural Mexico.

If you like culinary or wine travel, you need to put the Chilean Winelands on your travel bucket list. Tamara just came back from a two-week trip to Chile including the Atacama Desert and the Winelands. Episode Highlights: The wine regions are south and west of Santiago It is easy to drive through these regions but it is still recommended to get a driver for days when you are doing wine tasting Two hours south of Santiago is the Colchagua Region that is known for its red wine including Malbec, Bordeaux blends, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Carmenere. One hour west of Santiago is the Casablanca Region, which is closer to the coast, and is more known for its white wines like Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. She stayed at the Vibo Wine Lodge in Colchagua. This is a small boutique property on the Viu Manent Vineyards near Santa Cruz. It has individual lofts or tiny homes spread out throughout the vineyards. Another popular place to stay in this region is Clos Apalta, which is a Relais & Chateaux luxury property. Vibo Wine Lodge includes breakfast in the coffee shop on property and they also have two other restaurants, the Rayuela Restaurant and the Vibo Wine and Food Studio. On property you can hike, borrow bikes, enjoy the pool, go wine tasting or set up horseback riding. They also did a wine tour with Colchagua Wine Tours, which was only $125 for a day with a private driver (you pay for the tasting separately.) Tamara enjoyed wine tasting at Montgras Winery and Maquis Winery. They had a nice lunch at Fuego Apalta on the Montes Winery (but she didn't like the wine at Montes.) Tastings of the "icon" wines, which are the top wines, are about $40-50 per person. Clos Apalta Residence is also an excellent place to go for lunch or dinner and you can go wine tasting at the winery. In Casablance, they stayed at La Casona, which is a hacienda which has been converted to a hotel on the grounds of the Matetic Vineyards. This was all-inclusive because there isn't a lot nearby to eat. But the menu doesn't change so it gets repetitive if you are there for any length of time. The package also includes excursions and they did a biodynamic wine tour and tasting, mountain biking, and hiking. They also offer horseback riding and excursions to towns. They took a day trip to the coast and visited Pablo Neruda's house. Related Episodes: Chile's Atacama Desert Wine tasting in Northern Italy
