In as large as the wine trade is, it is really a small, tight knit industry. It takes a certain love of the lifestyle, the product and the people to survive, or shall I say flourish.  I've been following the career and passion of Master of Wine Isabelle Legeron. So intrigued I am, that when I learned her famed wine consortium, RAW wine, was in Paris the week I was attending Wine Paris, I had to catch up with her and learn her latest. Isabelle Legeron has never been one for convention—unless, of course, by "convention" you mean redefining the world of natural wine while collecting accolades like France's Légion d'honneur. In this illuminating episode, listeners will savor Isabelle Legeron's passionate vision for returning wine to its roots as an authentic, cultural expression—connecting land, grower, and glass in a way that today's industrial winemaking has all but forgotten. As founder of the RAW WINE movement, Isabelle Legeron draws back the curtain on the additives, shortcuts, and marketing tricks currently saturating the wine industry, advocating instead for genuine, low-intervention methods that honor tradition, sustainability, and unique terroir. You'll dive into rich stories from her travels—from Tokyo to Armenia—where wine is less a commodity and more a living legacy, shaped by history and heartfelt craftsmanship. Each conversation is spiced with practical insights on how any wine lover can support this global shift and recognize the remarkable difference in their glass. Listeners of Wine Talks will gain: Understand what truly defines raw, low-intervention, biodynamic, and organic wines. Insights on sustainable viticulture: Discover the environmental costs of industrial winemaking and the urgent need for regenerative farming. The art of storytelling in wine: Learn how grower narratives and regional traditions infuse every bottle with singular character. Trends reshaping the wine business: From non-alcoholic ferments to the revival of indigenous grapes, find out what's next for authentic winemaking. How to taste terroir: Get practical tips for experiencing sense of place and purity in every sip. Strategies for supporting small producers: Hear why championing local growers matters in today's challenging market. Come away with not only knowledge, but a renewed appreciation for real wine—the kind that celebrates culture, creativity, and the natural world, one glass at a time.

“We are having a reckoning of the US wine industry.” Elin McCoy reports. Vineyards being pulled up, wineries for sale, wineries closing, exports falling, grim news from the US in this month's Omnibus. There is, however, a bright spot – Taylor Swift's love of Sancerre has made the wine fly off the shelves. Elsewhere, John Stimpfig reveals that the EU and New Zealand have concluded trade agreements with India (the first took two decades, NZ's agreement took 9 months), a big market opens up for and Indian wine lovers can look forward to more choice. In Argentina the government has torn up 973 out of 1207 wine regulations. Plus get your running shoes out for the first Napa marathon.

Wine and tech have had their disagreements. There are pundits on both sides of the fence of tech in wine and when I heard there was a LA Wine Tech booth at Wine Paris, I had to explore.  I reached out to the head guy (he doesn't really have a title), Laurent David to explore the opportunity to set up a podcast right there at the show. He agreed and here it is. Wine Paris has become one of the largest wine shows in the world, with over 6000 wine booths and dozens of seminars, let alone a chance to taste some of the most well known wines in the world, it is easy to understand the throngs of people who attend. Laurent David traded launching iPhones for nurturing vines—now that's what you call an unusual upgrade. On this episode of Wine Talks, you'll get a rare look at the crossroads where Apple-level tech meets centuries-old Saint-Émilion winegrowing, straight from Laurent David himself. But you won't just hear tales of grape and gadget; you'll discover why the wine world is not as disconnected from innovation as it seems. You'll learn how obsessive experimentation drives winemakers—giving them only one annual shot to perfect their art, unlike software engineers who can endlessly tweak. As Paul Kalemkiarian probes the evolving role of data, AI, and digital tools, you'll see how the experience of wine is being reshaped for a new generation, and why a can of Château Lafite may not be as far-fetched as it sounds. The conversation lifts the curtain on why "best wine" is subjective, how social media and influencers (hello, Taylor Swift!) can spark global trends, and the challenge of making wine approachable without killing its soul. You'll peek into the ways winemakers are using AI not just to streamline paperwork, but to connect emotionally—with WhatsApp vineyard updates and Instagram journeys. Whether it's demystifying labels with QR codes, developing consumer clubs inspired by Napa, or finding clever methods to anchor memories like a quiche from childhood, Laurent David and Paul Kalemkiarian reveal how the future of wine depends on blending digital savvy with human touch. By the end, you'll understand that tech is just the tool—the real goal is sparking happiness, creating moments, and keeping wine a "social potion" for generations yet to come.     https://youtu.be/RmgBN_VFU5A   #WineTalks #WineTech #LaurentDavid #PaulKalemkiarian #AIinWine #WineInnovation #WineExperience #WineParis #LAWineTech #DigitalWineSales #WineClubs #SaintEmilion #WineData #WineMarketing #WineTourism #WineIndustryTrends #WineAndMillennials #BlockchainInWine #WineStorytelling #WineAndTechnology

Send a textWith a practice that integrates sculpture, moving image, performance and painting, Sydney based artist Todd Fuller is, at his core, a draughtsman. Underpinning all aspects of his practice is a love of drawing and a belief in its power as a democratic medium to connect, engage and delight audiences. For ten years, Fuller has been crafting hand-drawn animations that grapple with love and loss, as well as ideas of place, identity and community. Often narrative in form, these award winning works are derived from Fuller's experiences with different communities, sites and histories. He has been awarded a number of residencies that have informed and developed his practice, including time spent at Bundanon Trust, Hill End, Grafton Regional Art Gallery, as well as international stints at the Cite Internationale des Arts in Paris, the British School of Rome, and recently the NG Creative Residency in Provence.A graduate of Sydney's National Art School, Fuller has exhibited widely across Australia over the last ten years. He was a finalist in the 2019 Sir John Sulman Prize, won the prestigious Jacaranda Acquisitive Drawing Award in 2018, and his work is present in various public and private Australian collections, including the Parliament House Art Collection, Artbank, Sydney Harbour Trust, and numerous regional art galleries. Alongside his national success, Fuller has gained international attention, with his works in exhibitions in the United States, Italy, France, South Korea, Bangladesh, England, Singapore and Malta.Fuller's practice extends into curatorship and arts production, having held roles with Waverley Council, Biennale of Sydney, Sculpture in the Vineyards and d/Lux Media Arts. The areas under investigation within his curatorial practice overlap with his artistic output. Just Draw, the 2016 exhibition Fuller curated with Lisa Woolfe, which toured regional galleries, showcased artworks that exemplified the varied nature of contemporary drawing practices, a subject close to Fuller's heart. He is one half of interdisciplinary performance collective Flatline, and one third of the Hardenvale - our home in Absurdia touring initiative.Find out more from his website https://www.toddfuller.com.au

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: From Budapest to Vineyards: Zoltán's Winter Revelation Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2026-02-04-23-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: Az ég szürkére festette a borvidéket.En: The sky painted the wine region gray.Hu: A hó lágyan takarta be a szőlőtőkék sorait, amelyek nyugalomban pihentek a domboldalon.En: The snow gently covered the rows of vines, which rested peacefully on the hillside.Hu: Zoltán, a fiatal, ambiciózus férfi, meleg ruhába bugyolálva állt a jeges szélben.En: Zoltán, the young, ambitious man, stood wrapped in warm clothes in the icy wind.Hu: Szívében erősen érezte a vágyat, hogy elszakadjon Budapest nyüzsgésétől és saját borászatot hozzon létre.En: In his heart, he strongly felt the desire to break away from the hustle and bustle of Budapest and establish his own winery.Hu: Most itt volt, hogy László, a tapasztalt borász, beavassa őt a borkészítés rejtelmeibe.En: Now he was here to be initiated into the mysteries of winemaking by László, the experienced winemaker.Hu: Anna, László lánya, barátságosan üdvözölte Zoltánt a dűlők között.En: Anna, László's daughter, greeted Zoltán warmly among the vineyards.Hu: „Jó reggelt!En: "Good morning!Hu: László már vár rád a présházban” – mondta mosollyal.En: László is already waiting for you in the press house," she said with a smile.Hu: Zoltán szíve egy pillanatra felmelegedett a vendégszeretettől.En: Zoltán's heart warmed for a moment from the hospitality.Hu: A présház felé sietett, ahol a kandalló ropogott, és a hő gyorsan szétáradt a hideg szobában.En: He hurried towards the press house, where the fireplace crackled, and the heat quickly spread throughout the cold room.Hu: László, a szőlőtermesztés mestere, jól ismerte a természet könyörtelenségét és szépségét.En: László, a master of viticulture, knew well the ruthlessness and beauty of nature.Hu: „Zoltán, nem könnyű mesterség ez” – kezdte, miközben Zoltánt körbekalauzolta.En: "Zoltán, this is not an easy craft," he began, as he guided Zoltán around.Hu: „Télen kevesen gondolnak arra, milyen fontos feladatok várnak ránk.En: "In the winter, few people think about the important tasks awaiting us."Hu: ”Zoltán figyelt, próbálta megérteni minden apró mozdulat fontosságát.En: Zoltán listened, trying to understand the importance of every small gesture.Hu: De a dermesztő hideg és a hó alatti szőlőtőkék látványa elbizonytalanította.En: But the freezing cold and the sight of vines under the snow made him uncertain.Hu: „Valóban jó döntés volt ide jönni?En: "Was coming here really a good decision?"Hu: ” – gondolta magában.En: he thought to himself.Hu: Azonban László történetei az aratásról és az évekig tartó szorgalmas munkáról lenyűgözték.En: However, László's stories about the harvest and years of diligent work fascinated him.Hu: „A tél az előkészület ideje.En: "Winter is the time for preparation.Hu: A metszés most a legfontosabb” – magyarázta László.En: Pruning is the most important now," László explained.Hu: Zoltán figyelte, hogyan választja ki a metszőolló lecsapásának helyét.En: Zoltán watched how he chose the place for the pruning shears to cut.Hu: Ez a precíz művelet életet ad a szőlőd nehezebb időszakában.En: This precise operation gives life during the tougher times for the vineyard.Hu: Egy nap, amikor a szél már kevésbé fújt metszés közben, Zoltán végre megértette, miért olyan fontos a türelem.En: One day, when the wind blew less during pruning, Zoltán finally understood why patience is so important.Hu: Érezte, hogy a kemény munka és idő szükséges ahhoz, hogy megérjen a jó bor.En: He felt that hard work and time are needed to yield good wine.Hu: Este a kandalló mellett ült Anna, László és Zoltán.En: In the evening, Anna, László, and Zoltán sat by the fireplace.Hu: László egy üveg bort bontott, amit még évekkel ezelőtt csinált.En: László opened a bottle of wine he had made years ago.Hu: Az íze tökéletes volt, megtestesítve a borászat minden szépségét és nehézségét.En: Its taste was perfect, embodying all the beauty and difficulty of winemaking.Hu: „Most már látom, miért szereted ezt csinálni” – vallotta be Zoltán elismerően.En: "I see now why you love to do this," Zoltán admitted appreciatively.Hu: Végül, amikor Zoltán elhagyta a borászatot, már nem voltak kétségei.En: Finally, when Zoltán left the winery, he no longer had doubts.Hu: A tél kihívást jelentett, a tavasz reménye azonban új lendületet adott neki.En: Winter presented challenges, but the hope of spring gave him new momentum.Hu: Eldöntötte, hogy folytatja tanulását, még ha nehéz is.En: He decided to continue learning, even if it was difficult.Hu: Megtanulta értékelni a türelmet, és tudta, hogy minden nehézség hozzájárul a végső sikerhez.En: He learned to appreciate patience and knew that each hardship contributed to the ultimate success.Hu: Zoltán saját álmait nem adta fel, ám immár más szemmel nézett rájuk.En: Zoltán did not give up on his own dreams, but now looked at them with different eyes.Hu: Most már tisztában volt azzal, hogy az élet legszebb dolgai időt és elkötelezettséget igényelnek.En: He was now aware that the most beautiful things in life require time and commitment.Hu: A borászat számára többé nem csupán munka volt, hanem művészet.En: For him, winemaking was no longer just work; it was art.

Vineyards around the country are approaching harvest time, and while it is still too early to tell how the vintage will go, if it's anything like last year's, thousands of tons of grapes could be left to rot on the vine. The reason for that - we're not drinking as much wine as we used to, in fact in 2024 global consumption was the lowest for more than 6 decades So, what can wine growers do to combat a change in taste? Kim Thorp - owner of Black Barn Vineyard in Hawke's Bay - chats to Jesse.

Growers are counting the cost as drinking habits change. Around 100 thousand tonnes of grapes —a fifth of the crop— were left on the vine last year after exports couldn't keep up. Soljans Estate vineyard manager Tai Nelson told Ryan Bridge they just haven't been able to sell their product. He says demand generally has dropped.

Welcome to our first episode of Season 8 of Cork Talk! This episode features Scott and Elizabeth Barone from Castello Barone Vineyards in Ronda, NC! Located in the heart of the Swan Creek AVA, Castello Barone Vineyards is a boutique vineyard and winery that is grounded in Old World wine traditions, service to others, and a deep respect for craftsmanship. Their winemaking journey started as home brewers and home winemakers in Florida. Eventually the hobby became a passion and Scott and Elizabeth were looking for a way to make this into a larger project. They decided to settled in the Swan Creek AVA due to the higher concentration of vineyards in the area as well as on the traditional and homey feel that the region conveys. When you listen their story, you’ll find that the core beliefs of Faith, Family, and Service run throughout everything they do at Castello Barone. Wine Class with the Wine Mouths is back again!

This holiday re-broadcast brings back one of our most downloaded episodes — and one of the clearest real-world playbooks for how a traditional winery can modernize its marketing without spending more money.In this episode, Aly Wente, fifth-generation vintner and SVP of Marketing and Customer Experience at Wente Family Vineyards, breaks down how America's oldest continuously operated family-owned winery (founded in 1883) successfully reoriented its marketing toward Millennials and Gen Z — while keeping its legacy consumers and staying true to its heritage.The headline insight for winery leaders: Wente didn't increase its marketing budget. It reallocated it — away from low-ROI tactics and toward channels, content, and messages that could be measured and optimized.

A whiteboard hijacks our Zoom, but it can't derail the mission. We gather, pray, and then dive straight into a hard question: how do we keep preaching when culture tells us to quiet down? With reports of baptisms, healings, and students receiving the Holy Ghost, we zoom out to a bigger story—truth under assault and a church called to invest, not retreat.Pastor Hammond takes us into Jeremiah 32 where God tells a prophet to buy a field while Babylon lays siege. It sounds crazy until you realize the point: investment in people during chaos is the seed of future harvest. We connect that sign to “treasure in earthen vessels,” unpack how pressure exposes power that is of God and not of us, and call out the modern trap of half-truths. Spirit without doctrine leaves converts unanchored. Doctrine without Spirit leaves hearts untouched. We walk through the apostolic pattern—repentance, water baptism in the name of Jesus, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost—and why this new birth isn't a cultural option but the foundation for real transformation.Along the way, we tackle digital distraction, the anxiety of public ministry, and the subtle push to sell conviction for approval. The refrain returns like steel in the spine: buy the truth and sell it not. If you're discipling teens in a screen-saturated world, planting a church under pressure, or simply trying to stand steady at work, you'll find practical courage here—keep teaching, keep preaching, keep investing in people. Vineyards return. Houses are possessed again. The harvest belongs to those who sow in faith.If this word strengthens you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs boldness, and leave a review so others can find it. Then tell us: what truth are you choosing to never sell?We love to hear from our listeners!

This is a Vintage Selection from 2005The BanterThe Guys tell of an unnecessary battle: it's curtains!The ConversationThe Restaurant Guys welcome wine and restaurant critic Peter Schleimer from his home in Austria. They talk about grape-loving birds, where to get authentic Austrian food and some wine recommendations that are still good advice today. The Inside ScoopThe Guys have spent time eating and drinking  with Peter both in the U.S. and in Austria. They ask him about the rise in popularity of Austrian wines at the time.“The main reason is that we just have extremely interesting varieties. We have stuff other countries don't have and that's the secret. We have great varieties that are first of all, unique and second of all, interesting,  too. It doesn't help if they're only unique and they and the wines suck,” Peter Schleimer on The Restaurant Guys Podcast 2005BioPeter Schleimer worked in the Austrian wine industry, specifically at the Austrian Wine Marketing Board and the Austrian Wine Academy, and as an editor for the Austrian trade journal Vinaria, he was appointed its editor-in-chief in 2006. Peter was also editor-in-chief of the biannual magazine Vinaria Gourmet from 2006 to 2011. Since 2025, Peter Schleimer has run a restaurant in Mödling called Genussatelier Mödling with Doris Bracher.
