The wine: Elephant Hill Tempranillo Rosé 2025, Hawke's Bay, $29.00 A distinctive and enticing bouquet, a rosé made from Tempranillo is a rare find in NZ. Scents and flavours of peaches and red apple, a leesy and a clay earth complexity. A delicious wine with a silky-cream mouthfeel, superfine fruit tannins and medium+ acid line and flavours that reflect the bouquet. A very light positive reductive quality adds to the complexity. Lengthy and dry on the finish, an excellent example. The Food: Prawn dumplings steamed then quickly pan-seared with sesame oil. Finished with an oyster and soy sauce. Dress the dish up with some chives and ginger. Rosé wines respond to traditional Asian fare by contrasting the fresh flavours and intense spikes from the sauces especially the sweet and salty soy. Rosé when young should have a crispness and brightness with a racy acidity and generous mid-palate fruit sweetness. The season: The 2025 season in Hawke's Bay was excellent overall. A warm, dry spring with very good flowering and an early, mostly uninterrupted, start to the growing season. The summer was a little cooler but that did not stop flavour development and ripeness in the fruit. The flavour development and overall ripeness timeline contributed lead to one of the earliest for the region. So far, the wines I have encountered show a vibrancy and freshness, excellent balance and length. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This interview is with Andrew Wenzl of Abacela Winery. In this interview, Andrew talks about his journey from biology and chemistry for veterinary school to applying those principles to winemaking.Andrew shares about his family's history in present-day Austria growing lesser known varietals, making wine, and running bed and breakfast-type inns. With that history of winemaking and hospitality, it made sense for Andrew to take his scientific education and start working at King Estate performing “bucket chemistry.”Andrew talks about enjoying cellar work first at King Estate and then at Silvan Ridge Hinman Vineyard before applying to work at Abacela Winery. He joined the team there in 2002, and he has been there ever since. When he first started working there, he acted as assistant winemaker, and in 2008 he was promoted to head winemaker. Though he grew up in the Willamette Valley and enjoyed the wines made there, he now loves working with varietals like Grenache and Tempranillo.Later in the interview, Andrew discusses the growth of Abacela during his time there, including a new and expanded tasting room, new programs like port and sparkling, and using 25 years' worth vineyard & cellar data to continue improving the wines. He also talks about how becoming a dad helped him to be more empathetic and supportive during the winemaking process.This interview was conducted by Rich Schmidt at Abacela Winery in Roseburg on March 19, 2026.Thank you to the Oregon Wine Board for generously supporting this interview as part of our Southern Oregon 2026 tour!

José María Hinojosa, más conocido como el Tempranillo, fue uno de los bandoleros más conocidos de las sierras andaluzas hace 200 años. Su historial delictivo empezó joven y su poder llegó a los oídos de Fernando VII, quien padeció sus quehaceres hasta llegar a verse obligado a negociar con él. Esta es su historia.

Capítulo 57, presentado por Javi Prieto y María Argüelles. Hay destinos que no se eligen: te encuentran. Un día abres una botella y, sin darte cuenta, ya estás caminando por un paisaje que no has pisado nunca: una ladera, un pueblo, una vendimia, una conversación que se alarga. El vino tiene esa capacidad de movernos sin billete ni maleta, de llevarnos a lugares que no sabíamos que necesitábamos. Y quizá por eso, cuando hablamos de destino, siempre hablamos de la suma de acontecimientos. El destino, en el vino, empieza mucho antes de la copa. Empieza en una coordenada concreta y en una decisión mínima: dónde plantar, cuándo podar, qué día vendimiar, cómo esperar. También empieza en quien lo bebe: en el instante en que decides arriesgarte con algo nuevo, o en el momento en que vuelves a lo conocido porque necesitas certezas. El vino, al final, es eso: un punto de partida que se parece mucho a una elección. Y, sin embargo, la parte bonita del destino es que no siempre se presenta como un gran giro. A veces es un detalle: alguien te recomienda un vino, una etiqueta te mira desde una estantería, una copa te sorprende y te obliga a replantearte lo que creías que te gustaba. Como si el destino tuviera esa costumbre de colarse por las rendijas: no con estruendo, sino con curiosidad. En un mundo que nos empuja a comparar, puntuar, acertar, el vino nos recuerda algo más humano: que también se disfruta cuando no lo tienes todo previsto. Que hay placer en no saberlo todo, en dejarse llevar, en permitir que una botella te cuente una historia distinta a la que venías buscando. Y ahí aparece una pregunta clave: ¿cuánto de lo que bebemos es decisión… y cuánto es destino? Hoy queremos hablar de ese cruce entre lo planeado y lo inesperado. De cómo cambia tu relación con el vino cuando te permites descubrir sin prejuicios. De cómo se construye una comunidad alrededor de la sorpresa bien entendida. Y de cómo se puede hablar de vino con rigor sin levantar un muro de palabras raras, para que la experiencia vuelva a pertenecerle a cualquiera que se siente a una mesa. Y el título del capítulo —“El Destino”— no es casual. Porque nuestro invitado ha convertido el “llegar al vino por accidente” en una forma de mirar y de contar: un proyecto que democratiza el disfrute, que apuesta por pequeños productores y que invita a descubrir sin solemnidad. Al final de este episodio se sube a La Esencia del Vino Pascual Drake, fundador de Descorchify, una mente inquieta que está cambiando las reglas de la venta y la conversación alrededor del vino. El vino elegido para maridar este programa es Garu, D.O.Ca Rioja, porque también habla de destino en el sentido más literal: nace de Tempranillo de Labastida, junto al Monte Garu del que toma su nombre; un vino marcado por el terroir, con expresión aromática, mineralidad y estructura, elaborado por Bodega CM de Matarromera. La frase de el capítulo 57 es de William Shakespeare, que escribió: “El destino es el que baraja las cartas, pero nosotros somos los que jugamos.” Así que vamos allá con un capítulo más de La Esencia del Vino que, como saben, pueden escuchar, al igual que el resto de programas en Spotify y en las principales plataformas digitales y, por supuesto, en nuestra web podcast.matarromera.es Con todos ustedes el capítulo 57 de La Esencia del Vino, el podcast de Matarromera: “El destino”

In this episode of Big Blend Radio's "Sip, Savor & Travel" Show, host Linda Kissam, the "Food, Wine & Shopping Diva," sits down with Scott Kelley, winemaker and co-founder of Paul O'Brien Winery, to explore the distinctive wines and terroir of Oregon's Umpqua Valley. Often considered one of Oregon's hidden wine gems, the Umpqua Valley offers diverse microclimates and soils that allow winemakers to produce a remarkable range of varietals—from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to Tempranillo and Fumé Blanc. Scott shares the story behind Paul O'Brien Winery, born from a decades-long friendship and a shared passion for crafting balanced, expressive wines. The conversation dives into vineyard site selection, dry farming practices, the role of oak in winemaking, and how terroir shapes the character of each bottle. Linda and Scott also discuss wine education, tasting experiences, and the growing recognition of the Umpqua Valley as a destination for wine lovers and travelers alike. RESOURCE LINKS: 

Weinetiketten aus Spanien können verwirren: DO, DOCa, Joven, Crianza, Reserva – was bedeutet das alles? Lou und Jonas nehmen Dich mit auf eine kleine Reise durch die spanische Weinwelt und erklären verständlich, woran Du die Qualität, den Stil und die Reife eines Weins erkennen kannst. Außerdem erfährst Du, welche Hinweise auf dem Etikett besonders hilfreich sind, wenn Du Dir im Supermarkt oder Fachhandel schnell einen Überblick verschaffen willst. Wein der Woche Finca de la Vega Crianza https://bit.ly/3Tpa9bn Dieser kraftvolle, trockene Rotwein aus dem Herzen Spaniens duftet nach Kirsche, Lorbeerblättern und Tabak und präsentiert sich am Gaumen mit Aromen von getrockneter Feige und Dill. Tempranillo gilt als die bedeutendste Rotweinsorte Spaniens und schmeckt hervorragend zu Fleisch, aber auch gefüllter Paprika, Couscous und Linsen. Die Frage der Woche: Was ist der Unterschied zwischen Crianza und Cosecha? „Diese Angaben beziehen sich auf die Mindestlagerzeit des Weins, sowohl im Fass als auch in der Flasche. Crianza ist eher jung & frisch, Reserva hat mehr Reife und Struktur, Gran Reserva ist aus besonderen Jahrgängen und sehr ausgereift. So weißt Du beim nächsten Einkauf sofort, worauf Du Dich einlässt.“ Genau das Richtige für Deine Weinprobe und zum Üben von Verkostungen: Das Cheers!

Ist teurer besser? Vega Sicilia ist eines der bekanntesten Weingüter der Welt und Thomas Sommer einer der besten Sommeliers der Welt. Der mehrfach ausgezeichnete Weinexperte bringt vier Hochkaräter von dem spanischen Weingut mit in unsere Verkostung. Flasche Nummer eins ist der Pintia Toro 2021, der Einstieg in die Welt der Vega-Sicilia-Rotweine, die in einer Liga mit Produkten wie Opus one spielen. Der Wein schmeckt nach dunklen Beeren, Schokolade und Lakritz, und wurde wie alle Weine im Test doppelt dekantiert. Soll heißen: Einmal in eine Karaffe gefüllt und dann wieder zurück in die Flasche. Preis: 80 Euro. Rund 100 Euro mehr kostet der Alión 2022, auch ein Tempranillo, aber etwas eleganter und ätherischer, er schmeckt nach Salbei und Kresse und bleibt ziemlich lange am Gaumen. Der Unico 2016 in Flasche Nummer drei ist mit den ersten beiden nicht zu vergleichen, weder vom Preis (500 Euro), noch vom Geschmackserlebnis: Jetzt geht es nicht mehr um die Früchte, sondern um den Boden, man schmeckt Laub, Trüffel, Moos. „Das ist ein großer Wein, einer, der die letzten Prozentpunkte aus dem Boden herausholt“, sagt Michael Kutej. Bleibt der Unico Reserva Especial in Flasche Nummer vier, der jeweils zu einem Drittel aus den Jahrgängen 2011, 2012 und 2014 besteht und so zusammengestellt wurde, dass „die grundsätzliche Struktur des Weines herauskommt“. Ein großes Erlebnis, allerdings auch für einen großen Preis: 630 Euro.

In today's episode, we do an Old World vs New World Tempranillo episode! We're traveling from the volcanic, high-desert soils of Idaho's Snake River Valley to the ancient, 100-year-old vines of Rioja, Spain and explore the word 'Vidau' along the way. Grab a glass and join us for a journey through time and terroir! #HappyFriday! #ItsWineTime! #Cheersing Wines featured this episode:2022 Cinder Tempranillo ($42 at the winery or area stores)

I dagens afsnit kaster vi os ud i et eksperiment, som potentielt kan kaste masser af diskussion af sig. Det må det også godt, for det er en svær øvelse. Vi laver en rødvinsskala, hvor vi gennemgår udvalgte druesorter og rangerer dem efter struktur, frugt, syre, tannin, alkohol og tyngde på en skala fra de letteste druesorter til de druesorter, der giver vine med mest tyngde. Vores placering af druerne er lavet ud fra hvad "den styrende vinstil anno 2026" er på druen. Der er desuden en masse forbehold ift. druesorten. Herunder produktionsmetode, høsttidspunkt, vækstområde m.m. Vi tager udgangspunkt i Wine Follys liste, men laver vores egen rangering.

Send us a textIn this episode, we sit down with Stephanie Lurch, health equity leader, educator, and advocate whose work is grounded in a simple but radical idea: healthcare should be human.Against the backdrop of the current political climate and the evolving relationship between Canada and the United States, we explore how two neighboring countries with vastly different healthcare systems approach care, equity, access, and dignity. While national-level reform often feels slow, stalled, or uncertain, especially in the U.S., this conversation focuses on what individuals, clinicians, and communities can do now to restore humanity to healthcare.Together, we examine how power, culture, and policy shape patient experiences, and how relational care, storytelling, and community engagement can transform health outcomes, even within imperfect systems.Support the showThe hashtag for the podcast is #nourishyourflourish.

Dan, Daedalus and Casey Graybehl. Casey Graybehl from Grenachista Wines joins Dan Berger and Daedalus Howell on California Wine Country today. This is Casey’s first time on the show, although we mentioned Grenache as recently as last September on this episode with Oded Shakked of Longboard Vineyards. Grenachista Wines specializes in Grenache, and makes several types and styles of this one varietal. Before getting to Casey Graybehl’s Grenache wines, Dan Berger has brought another cellar dweller this week. It is a 2004 Rkatsiteli from Dr. Konstantin Frank, in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York. It is a French grape that has been grown in Eastern Europe for decades. Asked why he chose Grenache, Casey explains that he needs guardrails, to constrain himself. By focussing on his favorites, he can run a small operation and produce a high quality product. Dan explains that Grenache is also an important blending wine. The same is true of Syrah. You need some Grenache to make a Rioja from Tempranillo grapes. There is also the GSM blend, Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre. Instead of making wines for other people’s tastes, he makes wine for his own palette. The Holy Trinity of Grenache Casey describes the holy trinity of Grenache as Grenache Gris, Grenache Noir and Grenache Blanc. They taste a Grenache Gris and then a Grenache Rosé. Dan and Casey agree that their favorite varietal for Rosé is Grenache. “It’s a fruit salad in a glass,” says Daedalus. Dan says the tropical notes are fermentation flavors called terpenes that will be gone in six more months. “This is not one to age,” says Dan. 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!  If you’re going to limit yourself to one grape, Grenache is the one to do, says Casey, because of its versatility. Next they open the North Coast Grenache Noir. The grapes come from Sonoma Valley, Napa Carneros and Mendocino, which qualifies it for the North Coast AVA. Dan notices pomegranate and cranberry flavors. Casey says some nice licorice and leather flavors will come on with aging. Dan finds that Grenache is more sensitive to its soil and vintage than many other red wine grapes. Pinot Noir can be a headache but Grenache can be more consistent. They call it a blender but it is really a base, making up 60% of blends, such as Gigondas.

In today's episode, we have author, Danielle Frank, who has just released her new book, "A Wine Lover's Guide to Parenting: The Fine Art of Wine and Whine Management."

Check out RiverRoadVineyards.com for their Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. (0:49 - 1:37) Episode 239 features Jacob Mounts, Winery and Vineyard Manager at Mounts Family Winery. Jacob, 25, represents the new generation of winemakers. His mother suggested he join the show to share insights from a younger perspective. (1:38 - 2:48) Jacob introduces the 2022 Italian Affair, a blend of Barbera and Teroldego. The unique combination offers juiciness and balance. The name stems from his father's decision to plant Italian varietals, which his mother jokingly called "cheating" on their Rhone roots. (2:49 - 5:25) Mounts Family Winery grows 35 varietals, including Rhone, Italian, Spanish, and Bordeaux grapes. Jacob explains the importance of experimenting with heat-tolerant varietals like Tempranillo and Touriga Nacional to adapt to climate change and appeal to younger wine drinkers. (5:26 - 7:08) Jacob emphasizes the importance of balance in winemaking, crediting his father's skill. He shares his passion for structured wines and his desire to expand the winery's production. (7:09 - 9:14) Jacob reflects on leaving the wine industry at 18 to explore other careers, including mechanics and commercial fishing in Alaska. His time away gave him a renewed appreciation for winemaking and the natural beauty of vineyards. (9:15 - 12:21) Jacob discusses the challenges of engaging younger wine drinkers, citing high tasting fees and lack of approachability. He advocates for making wine fun and accessible, encouraging people to enjoy it however they like. (12:22 - 14:45) The conversation shifts to the importance of storytelling in wine. Jacob believes sharing the history and personal stories behind a bottle creates a deeper connection for consumers, especially younger generations. (14:46 - 18:07) Jacob shares how introducing wine to friends in Alaska sparked their interest. He highlights the role of peer influence in making wine more appealing to younger audiences. (18:08 - 21:06) Jacob talks about his family's Rhone roots and their Viognier, which expresses stone fruit and honeysuckle notes. He also praises Grenache and Cab Franc as standout varietals in their portfolio. (21:07 - 24:00) Mounts Family Winery is open for tastings by appointment during the week and walk-ins on weekends. Jacob and his mother personally host tastings, offering a welcoming and intimate experience. (24:01 - 28:07) Jacob shares his passion for brandy and distilled spirits, mentioning his first barrel of brandy aging for 10 years. He enjoys exploring local artisanal producers and learning from their craft. (28:08 - 33:32) The hosts praise the winery's scenic location and encourage listeners to visit. Jacob highlights their new label designs, which represent their evolving portfolio. (33:33 - 37:53) The discussion touches on the beauty of Sonoma County year-round and the importance of slowing down to enjoy the scenery. Jacob expresses gratitude for being part of the wine community. (37:54 - 42:07) Beth promotes upcoming Wine Road events, including Winter Wineland and the Holiday Wine Trail, which supports the Redwood Empire Food Bank. She encourages listeners to explore the auction on wineroad.com. (42:08 - 44:32) Jacob thanks the hosts for the opportunity to share his story. The hosts commend his passion and authenticity, encouraging him to continue inspiring younger generations.   Links: River Road Family Vineyards & Winery Mounts Family Winery Winter Wineland Holiday Wine Trail + Market Redwood Empire Food Bank

Hello to you listening in  Kokomo, Indiana!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Each year at this time my Camino de Santiago memories come back to life as I retrace my pilgrimage steps through the pages of my journal. Why this annual ritual? It's a witness to my life: how I lived life before Camino and living it after Camino.In truth I want to relive the memories like strolling down a cobblestone village street, entering a small bar for a glass of vino tinto, and savoring it outside with a view of the Meseta, the vast plains I traversed. I recall an elderly gentleman joining me, finding peace in the Meseta's tranquility. After returning my glass the bar owner proudly displayed a yellowed article: the Tempranillo he served me had earned recognition in The Wine Enthusiast. He was so proud of what he had produced in his vineyards.I revisit these experiences because they've become a guide emphasizing the wisdom of looking back when unsure of the way forward. Looking back at where you've been can reveal the future of where you should go.Question: How do you reflect on the past to navigate your future? And, if you could use a guide what's your Project? How can I help?You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Send us a textA skull on the label and real structure in the glass—this $7.99 Trader Joe's classic surprised us in the best way. We uncork Dearly Beloved I The Red 2023 and follow the clues: who makes it now, why the blend works, and how Lodi's delta breezes turn a hot inland zone into a value powerhouse. If you've ever wondered how Petite Sirah, Tannat, Tempranillo, and a touch of Zinfandel can line up without turning sweet or simple, we break down the roles each grape plays and why the result is more than a party trick.We talk craft and climate. Precept Wines currently steers this long-running label, sourcing from Lodi vineyards where cool morning fog and evening winds preserve acidity while ripening color and tannins. That's how you get dense color, dark fruit, and easygoing tannins at a price point that usually trades complexity for sugar. On the palate, expect blackberry and plum, a hint of vanilla, and a red-berry lift—raspberry and pomegranate—that keeps the finish bright. It's a true comfort wine: smooth enough to sip on its own, sturdy enough for burgers, pizza, or a quick plate of cheese and sausage.Yes, the Day of the Dead label makes it a natural Halloween pour, but the juice inside earns year-round status. We share why many holiday-themed bottles feel like one-night stands and how this one avoids the gimmick trap. For listeners who chase real value and honest flavor, this is a reminder that Lodi remains a treasure for everyday reds that drink above their price. Pour a glass, settle into a cool evening, and taste why structure, balance, and smart sourcing matter more than hype.If you enjoy these value deep-dives, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves a bargain bottle, and leave a quick review—what under-$10 red should we uncork next?Check us out at www.cheapwinefinder.comor email us at podcast@cheapwinefinder.com

This grape has come a long way in a decade +, proving that it has more nuance, terroir driven finesse, and versatility than it gets credit for.    Tempranillo is now the third most widely planted wine grape in the world, at 231,000 ha/570,000 acres. It is not widely grown outside of Spain but there are growers in 17 countries making a go of it. That said, 88% of Tempranillo's vineyard area is in Spain and most of it is in the northern central parts, with Rioja and Ribera del Duero as the shining stars.                                                                         Photo: Getty Images via Canva   In this show, I go over the DNA and history of the grape and I discuss the many, many names it has. I talk about how it reacts to terroir and its behavior in the vineyard, and why it is so uniquely suited to the special areas in Spain where it thrives. I talk about winemaking and its effect on the grape and then I dive into the aging criteria of Spain (Generico, Crianza, Reserva, Gran Reserva) before going over the specific regions in Spain, Portugal, and the New World in which this grape does amazing things.   This is one of the most important grapes in the world, and the mini-series is packed with info! Enjoy and go try some different wines, you will be surprised at how different they are based on all the factors I mention in the show. You can test yourself to see if you can figure out if it's the land or the hand of man that has an effect!   Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon. Become a member today! www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople _______________________________________________________________   Check out my exclusive sponsor, Wine Access.  They have an amazing selection -- once you get hooked on their wines, they will be your go-to!

Port wine comes from the Douro Valley, Spain. It wasn't long ago that we tasted a wine from the Douro Valley, Spain. The river continues west through Spain and runs directly through Portugal before it empties into the Atlantic Ocean at the City of Porto. This is Portugal's second largest city and the namesake of the wine. Port wine is highly regulated. No other area can produce “Port” wine. After the start of fermentation, and when about half of the sugar has been converted to alcohol, a spirit, normally brandy, is pumped into the juice to stop the fermentation. The result is a sweet and high-alcohol wine.There are two types of port; vintage port and tawny port. A vintage port will happen about 3 out of 10 years and happens when conditions are just right to produce the best port. These ports are produced and bottled after approximately two years. They are often ready to drink after 4 or 5 years, but can normally be aged for many years. Tawny port originally got its name from wine aged so long that it lost its red color and became a tawny brown or tan. Today it is typically labelled 10 or 20 years, or more. Tawny ports are normally smoother than vintage ports. According to the Oxford Companion to Wine, today, Tawny Ports are many times no older than a vintage port and may even include white ports or wine-making techniques to get the desired color.We also want to talk about two varietal wines. First is Tinta Roriz, which is what the Portuguese call Tempranillo. The second variety we want to talk about is Touriga Nacional. This is traditionally the main grape variety used in port wine, but is becoming a more important single varietal wine grape. It has also expanded to France, South Africa, Australia, and the US in recent years. Mainly because it is a heat-resistant grape variety. Tonight, we are enjoying:2019 Ermegeira Tinta Roriz MIA. It comes from the Lisboa region of southern Portugal and has 11.5% alcohol. I purchased the wine at Wine Styles for around $28. It is certified organic and suitable for vegans according to the website. Vivino says the wine is earthy, juicy cherry, boysenberry, Raspberry, slightly grippy. The grapes are lightly pressed to limit extraction. Only grapes from his own estate are used. All stainless steel used I production with no SO2 at all. 100% Tinta Roriz (aka Tempranillo)10 Year Old Kirkland Tawny Porto. I purchased at Costco for $16.99. Reverse Wine Snob says aromas of prunes, raisins, orange zest, caramel, toffee, some nutty notes, some bourbon and a good bit of heat. Tastes silky smooth, sweet, and fruity with raisiny fruit notes, more caramel, toffee, and nutty notes. Recommends a buy. Pair with a rich dessert. We both loved the Tinta Roriz and gave it a score of 4. This was produced in stainless steel so it is brighter than the typical tempranillo. To me it just tasted fresh and natural. The Port was good and we both enjoyed and we both scored it a 3. Had a very hot aroma, but was smooth and tasty for the most part. This is a nice price for a port and I would suggest you give it a try. You will need to be open to a strong and sweet dessert wine. Next week we are having a mystery show. Join us next week to see what wine we end up tasting.

Outside of Spain, Idaho is home to one of the largest populations of Basque people in the United States. And as it happens, it's also home to one of the Basque Country's oldest grape varieties. 

This highly-engaging and cleverly-written novel by Ashley Elston follows the complicated life of Lucca Marino aka Evie Porter as she carries out various sketchy projects for a Mr. Smith and his not-so-lawful organization. The storyline takes us through the unsavory projects which Evie was contracted to complete. Evie happens to fall for Ryan, the object of one of her investigations, until doppelganger Lucca Marino is sent to alert Ryan of Evie's scrutiny of his company. IT tech Devon assists Evie in uncovering the criminal acts of Mr. Smith. We learn all about the Tempranillo grape and the various nicknames or alternative names for the grape. We enjoyed a 2013 Muga Rioja Reserva and discussed the Ah-so two-pronged wine opener, used to open older or fragile corks.

Bodegas Numanthia Toro In this episode, Rob and Scott go into the vault to revisit Bodegas Numanthia's Toro red from the 2005 vintage.  So come join us, on The Wine Vault.

This tasting will compare different priced wines, from about $7 to $24. It also compares Tempranillo wines from Rioja and Toro Spain, as well as the Yakima Valley, Washington. I can't wait to learn about the differences in these wines.Rioja is known for its Tempranillo based blended wines. The wines are historically classified based on how long they have been aged (especially in oak). In 2017 changes were made to labeling laws, and place (or Terrior) is becoming more important.Toro is known for its Tempranillo varietal wines. It is labeled as Tinta del Toro, which is a slight variant of Tempranillo, but basically the same thing. I found that it has a thicker skin, and of course skin is where tannin is found. Therefore, these wines may have more tannins. Toro is a warmer region than Rioja, which creates heavier, fuller-bodied, more jammy wines. Tonight, we are enjoying three Tempranillos including:2022 MonteToro 5. The wine comes from the Bodegas Ramon Ramos Toro and was purchased at WineStyles for $24.00. Aged in oak for 6 months and an additional year in the bottle. Vines are between 30-50 years old and from high-elevation vineyards. The wine has a dark inky violet color. The nose is fruity and complex. Oak is subtle and in the background. 2018 Lucia Victoria Rioja Reserva. A $8.99 bottle of wine from Costco. Aged in a combination of French and American oak barrels for either 24 or 30 months and an additional 6 months in the bottle. Comes from the Rioja Alta region. High altitude vineyard with chalk and limestone soils. According to the Reverse Wine Snob, it has aromas of blackberry, vanilla, leather, and balsamic along with notes of licorice, mint, cola, and cedar. He gave it a “Bulk Buy” rating.2021 Two Mountain Winery Tempranillo. We purchased the wine from Winestyles for around $21.00. The wine comes from the Yakima Valley, Washington, and has 13.9% alcohol. It has aromas of fresh hemlock, toasted pine nuts, dried tobacco, sun-dried tomatoes, and coriander dust. Tastes of dark huckleberry, sage, and freshly rolled cigar. It has soft tannins, acid, and a touch of subtle oak.Next week we will taste two Rose' wines.

Douro Tinto is often called a “Steakhouse Wine” but that really doesn't do it justice. This fabulous wine from the Douro region of Portugal - an area most famous for the fortified wine Port - is a rich, smooth, and lovely drinking wine that needs to be on your table. Grown on very steep hillsides, the variety of the grapes in the blend can include up to 50 varieties, but the majority of the blend is usually Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz - which is the Portuguese name for Tempranillo, most famously in Rioja wines from Spain. Because of the wide-variety of grapes used, the blends can vary, but overall you can expect a lush, juicy wine with enough acidity that it pairs amazingly well with food. If you are looking for an alternative to your rich Syrah or Bordeaux or Napa Cab, and you want a wine with more balance and less punch-you-in-the-face oak, Douro Tinto is a wine you have to seek out.

This show is the final in a multi-part, in-depth series on the Rioja DOCa in which we have looked at the three major zones of Rioja through the eyes of top producers to tell us about their areas and the challenges they face. Photo: Raquel Perez Cuevas. Credit: Bodegas Ontañón Facebook Page   This time, Raquel Pérez Cuevas, 4th generation family member of Bodegas Ontañón joins to tell us about Rioja Oriental (formerly Rioja Baja). Raquel is an agricultural engineer and oenologist, and has traveled the world presenting the beautiful wines of Ontañón.   Ontañón is one of the most highly regarded and best wineries in Rioja. The family started as growers that sold to large companies but in the 1980s, they started making their own wines, breaking with tradition and most of their neighbors in Oriental at the time. The Perez Cuevas family are unique in that they 250ha of vineyards, in around the village of Quel (which Raquel discusses a lot in the show). Their vineyards are also unique because they sit very high in the mountains, even higher than the vineyards of Alta in Alavesa.   In this show, Raquel tells us about Oriental, the differences between the region and Alta and Alavesa, the grapes that grow here (they are different from the other regions – there is much more diversity), and her perspective on what is happening in the region right now. This series has been so eye opening and this show shines yet another light on this very complex region, which is undergoing a major transition right now.   Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon. Become a member today! www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople _______________________________________________________________   Check out my exclusive sponsor, Wine Access.  They have an amazing selection -- once you get hooked on their wines, they will be your go-to!

This is the second installment of an in-depth series on the Rioja DOCa, where I do a close look at the three major zones of Rioja. I host top producers in each show to tell us about their areas and the challenges they face.   In Episode 544, we heard about the Rioja Alta zone and this week we hear from Tao Platón of Rioja Alavesa, who presents a completely different perspective on the region.   Tao Platón graduated in Enology from the University of Valladolid, holds a WSET Diploma and is an Master of Wine (MW) candidate. He has made wine in Bordeaux, Burgundy, New Zealand, and Rioja and in 2016 he joined Península Vinicultores as head winemaker and technical director. Photo: Tao Platón. Credit: Península Vinicultores He leads the production of a new generation of terroir-driven wines from Rioja Alavesa at Bodega Bideona. Bideona cultivates hundreds of individual parcels and makes wine in the Burgundian model – terroir-driven, vineyard specific wines. He joins us as a representative of the zone of Alavesa and as a passionate advocate for the system of terroir-driven, single vineyard wines, a system which Rioja approved in 2018.   We discuss:  The Rioja Alavesa overview -- terroir, the history of the region, and how Alavesa is made up of many small, family owned wineries.   The strengths of Alavesa, which are old vines, mainly of Tempranillo. Wineries of Alavesa don't blend grapes from elsewhere so the wines are very terroir-driven and local in Alavesa. We discuss the various styles of wines, including the production of whites in the region.   We get to some of the very hard questions regarding Alavesa and its Basque identity. We fill you in on the political independent movement in the Basque Country, the various ideologies and how those are playing out in the politics of the Rioja DOCa.   The differences between business models (traditional model versus newer, terroir driven producers) in the Rioja DOCa, as well as the tension is between quality producers and those who look to make cheap wine that they can sell quickly, regardless of quality.   The potential future for Rioja and the DOCa and various scenarios that could exist for Alavesa in the future. ____________________________________________________  This show represents a totally different perspective from Rioja Alavesa versus Rioja Alta!

This show kicks off a multi-part, in-depth series on the Rioja DOCa. We will look at the three major zones of Rioja in the podcasts that follow. In each, I host top producers to tell us their perspectives on their zones and on Rioja at large. To get you up to speed before my conversation with Guillermo de Aranzabal Bittner, the Deputy General Director and Director of Public Relations for La Rioja Alta S.A.,  I start out the show with a quick primer on Rioja. I cover everything from climate and terroir, the grapes, the aging criteria, and the terroir driven designations that were introduced in 2017-2018.   Then I get to my lively conversation with Guillermo de Aranzabal Bittner. Guillermo is a descendent of one of the founding families of La Rioja Alta and is part of the 6th generation in the business. He educates us on the Rioja Alta zone - its terroir, history, and the grapes in which it specializes.    Guillermo then tells us about La Rioja Alta, which was formed in 1890 as a partnership of 5 quality-conscious growers focused on getting the wines of their remote region to the masses. They achieved this by supporting the construction of a rail link from Haro to Bilbao and thus, opened the world to these marvelous wines. They have a laser focus on quality and on maintaining tradition -- the dedication is admirable!    The brands of La Rioja Alta S.A. that Guillermo discusses are: La Rioja Alta: Gran reserva 890, Gran Reserva 904 Seleccion Especial, Viña Arana, Viña Ardanza, Viña Alberdi Torre de Oña (Rioja Alavesa): Finca Martelo, Finca San Martin Crianza   Guillermo and I then discuss some of the challenges currently facing Rioja, and we get deep into the analysis of what is working and what isn't. It's a great discussion!    As promised, here is the list of producers in the Asociación de Bodegas por la Calidad (ABC) that we mention.   Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon. Become a member today! www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople _______________________________________________________________   Check out my exclusive sponsor, Wine Access.  They have an amazing selection -- once you get hooked on their wines, they will be your go-to!
