Podcast appearances and mentions of wes hagen

Wes Hagen is a wine educator, a wine historian, a vineyard manager, a writer of AVA proposals, and a damn good winemaker. He is a Renaissance man in the world of wine, connected inextricably to Santa Barbara County, where his family brand Clos Pepe made some of the finest Pinot Noirs of the 1990s and 2000s. He is also a fan of Cabernet Franc. Below, he gives Wine Saves Lives! he answers the question: What Does Cabernet Franc Mean?The Cab Franc people are how Pinot Noir people used to be. Cab Franc is the, is the grape to me that's attracting the seekers. It's attracting the people that are searching for something outside the norm. And so, to me, it's weird — because when I'm in that room full of Cab Franc people, I kind of feel the same way that I feel now in a post Sideways world at World of Pinot Noir.These are my people. I feel like, like I mentioned, The Dead Show and one of my descriptions earlier… and I used to, follow the Grateful Dead quite a bit. And, um, when you're in the show, it feels like these, these are your people. And I feel like, I feel like Cab Franc people are my people.I feel like, uh, I feel like the same way about them, that they're the ones that are looking, they're just in front of the trend, but the trend is never going to happen the way that we imagine it's going to happen. It's not going to be a Cab Sauv. It's always going to be a little bit sort of edgy, and I think that's where Cab Franc would prefer to be. This is a public episode.

The Miller family’s California farming and ranching legacy dates to back to 1871, when William and Francis Broome moved from England to the West Coast of California and began farming in southern Ventura County.The farming legacy passed down to William Broome’s granddaughter Elizabeth, and following her marriage to Robert Miller in 1942, the Miller Family became the steward of the farming business.In 1973, the Miller family developed a vineyard in the Paso Robles highlands and named it French Camp for the Basque shepherds who once populated the area. The area had a special allure thanks to the largest day/night temperature swings, mineral rich soils and highest elevations in the regions.The 1400 acres of French Camp provide the Miller Family with the highest quality fruit sources that help to create the highest quality wines.

The Santa Maria Valley is one of our favorite destinations, both for outdoor recreation AND for experiencing wine country!

But the Santa Maria Valley is OPEN and READY for wine country tourism with lots of safety precautions and creative problem solving!

Today I am back with another Paso Hangout thanks to Paso Robles Wine Alliance.  We all love wine and what makes wine awesome is, lets face it.. the alcohol! But alcohol can get out to hand. Listen in as Wes Hagen, winemaker for J. Wilkes Wines and the godfather of Paso Robles, Gary Eberle of Eberle Winery talk about how wines need to be made in a specific way and the high alcohol wines are on their way out. Really? I don’t think so… and neither do they! In reality, balance is what makes the difference and alcohol needs to be part of the formula to create a balanced wine. Thank you again to the Paso Robles Wine Alliance for putting this conversation together. You can find out more about them by visiting their website pasowine.com.

As the Consulting Winemaker and Brand Ambassador for Miller Family Wines, Wes Hagen talks about wine for a living. And if I had a day to spend tasting and learning about wine, Wes would be the first person I’d choose to join me. He’d wax eloquent about coaxing soil into the deliciousness that is wine and postulate that without wine there would be no democracy. He is perhaps the most articulate and persuasive advocate for the exceptional wines that come out of the Santa Barbara County.A former teacher, Wes loves to share the history of the vineyards and founding winemakers and would be the first to point out the many local heroes in the Santa Barbara County wine industry. He has solidified his own legacy by writing the petitions that created four of the seven American Viticulture Areas recognized by the federal government: Santa Rita Hills, Happy Canyon, Ballard Canyon, and the newly created Alisos Canyon AVA. He is quite literally putting Santa Barbara County wines on the map, and in the process, creating publicity and veneration for the unique wines created in our beautiful community. I first met Wes when my then-husband, Noah Rowles, hired him to write the petition of what would become the Alisos Canyon AVA. Noah had just purchased a ranch in Los Alamos that we would call Dovecote, which was home to the 30-year-old historic Thompson Vineyard. Five years later, the Alisos Canyon AVA makes its debut this week just as Noah is releasing the first wines he made as full-time winemaker at Dovecote.In our wide-ranging conversation, Wes and I reflect on the process of creating the AVA. We also discuss how Wes became the winemaker and vineyard manager at Clos Pepe, how he shaped Santa Barbara county’s maps as its most prolific AVA petition writer, how the wine industry benefits our community and how it can co-exist with the cannabis industry, and why wines from this region stand up to any on the world’s stage. His passion for wine is contagious and I have no doubt our conversation will leave you yearning for a glass of crisp pinot blanc on this hot summer day. Dovecote Estate is featured in Small Business Spotlight. Mention this podcast to receive 20% off your tasting fee. Tasting is available by appointment only.Also mentioned in this episode: Day Drinking with Wes Hagen YouTube show, Miller Family Wines, J.

July 16, 2020 - As a fan of J. Wilkes Wines, it was a pleasure to learn a little about the history of wine and how it's made with J. Wilkes Wines winemaker Wes Hagen. In addition to being a fantastic guest on this podcast, he also hosts his own tri-weekly show (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 5pm Pacific) that can be found on his Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube pages.

All over the world, there are literally countless wine and food pairing events going on every single day. More often than not, it’s the best of the best wines paired with culinary creations that few of us will actually get to enjoy more than perhaps once or twice a year, if that. It’s been a long-standing belief of host David Wilson that pairing food and wine can be a beautiful thing, but it need not be reserved for fancy occasions and people with fat wallets. Pairing a delicious (and affordable) wine with a great slice of pizza or messy burger can be just as big a thrill as a carefully choreographed 5-course meal that can burn through a week’s wages of average Americans. This week, long time Grape Encounter regular, Wes Hagen weighs in with David on how to get perhaps just as much pleasure from a yummy yet inexpensive wine and your favorite Italian-inspired pie… pizza pie that is. One thing is for certain, when Wes Hagen, Ambassador of Miller Family Wines and Winemaker of their J. Wilkes brand is in the house, you can count on one or two very odd and wonderful treats. This week, Wes explains the connection between wine and the great scientific achievements of modern man. Are we kidding? Nope. Wes is dead serious and in just about 5 minutes flat he can lay out his case with plenty of names, fact and figures to make you a believer! This week’s edition of Grape Encounters Radio is brought to you buy your ultimate wine retail resource; Total Wine & More. Total Wine has been David’s hands-down favorite brick and mortar wine shopping experience for more than a dozen years, but they also have plenty for those of you who love to shop, learn and explore from your computer or personal device. See what is so very special at TotalWine.com! The post Episode #552 – Wine and Food Pairing is for Real People, Not Just an Elite Class! appeared first on .

Join David and winemaker/wine historian Wes Hagen talking about the science and experience of tasting wine... when wine hits your tongue, all five flavor components – sweet, sour, salty, bitter, umomi/savory – one of the few beverages that delivers all of them. Trends in food and wine pairing take all these into account, and why wine is the perfect accompaniment to food. In this episode, David and Wes, who is renowned in the wine business and also the winemaker for J. Wilkes in the Santa Ynez Valley of California’s Central Coast, address some of the major trends taking hold in the wine industry. Chances are, you’ll welcome the trends that are transforming the industry. This is an eye-opening episode that you won’t want to miss. One of the trends that David and Wes address include the shattering of rules related to wine pairing. Even some of the world’s most renowned Somms are questioning conventional wisdom. Also, there’s a growing affection toward Riesling that is really taking hold. When was the last time that you had one? Another major trend is the migration of wine drinkers toward rosé wines. If you think they’re strictly sweet wines, you’ve been hanging around White Zinfandel too long. Other topics include Orange Wine, Cabernet Franc and much more!
