Podcasts about white zin

Dan Berger and Barry Herbst With The Drive on Summer vacation, here is an episode for this week's podcast, from last August where Barry Herbst describes Rosé wines available at Bottle Barn. For all of this year's Rosé offerings and more, visit the Bottle Barn website, bottlebarn.com.  Bottle Barn Rosé wines are the subject of this episode of California Wine Country with Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger. It's Rosé all day with Barry Herbst from Bottle Barn on California Wine Country with Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger. Bottle Barn has more Rosés than anyone in Sonoma County and may stock more than any store in the whole country. They have at least 90 different ones, which is not quite as much as last year. These Rosé wines come from many regions of the world. The first to be opened comes from Basque country in Spain. Another feature of Ros´ is that there is a spectrum of colors of all of these wines. The Evolving Reputation of Rosé Dan Berger tells how it took an entire generation of people disparaging pink wine before a new generation decided to try it before deriding it. When the weather is awfully hot as it is now in late August, there are few wines more pleasant to drink. Now, Rosé is an “unstoppable train,” says Barry Herbst. The quality is so high and the flexibility with food makes it available to pair with many flavors of food. It is also easier and less expensive to produce than wines that require barrel aging. The first is called Kara Marie, the Ra Ra Rosé, a local production of winemaker Daryl Groom, named after his daughter. It is made from Grenache grapes grown in Dry Creek Valley. Its strong floral flavors have a trace of the taste of the red wine that it comes from. “Perfectly dry,” says Steve Jaxon. Dan suggests it would go with Steak Tartare.

Some of these wines improve after a year or two and they are made to be enjoyed young. But if you accidentally lose a bottle in your cellar, don't toss it before you try it! Don't buy anything three years old, as that can be too late. Next is Husch Vineyards 2021 Mendocino Blaze Rosé. It is the pale pink or copper shade that is second in line in the featured illustration above. This is made from Zinfandel, Carignane and Petit Syrah. A Possible Comeback for White Zin? There was a stigma about White Zinfandel at one time, but some producers are actually bringing it back right now. Also, they harvest grapes for Rosé early, even right now in late August. Next is a 2020 dry Rosé from Von Winning. It should be well chilled and served in a decanter. It is made from Pinot Noir and is very flavorful. There are a lot of nice German pink wines coming in now. Next is a Txomin Etxaniz Rosé from Basque country. These grapes grow 7 feet high off the ground. The soil there is white, and it captures so much sunlight that it radiates heat off the ground, so the grapes have to be away from the heat of the soil. Until they had cold fermentation in steel tanks, these wines were not very good, but when they could invest in stainless steel tanks, the wine production improved a lot. “Zomin Zaniz” is the pronunciation according to Harry Duke. The last Rosé tasted today is a 2021 Les Rocailles from Savoie (aka Savoy, southeastern France). It is a cool growing area, light body, heavy acid, a good level of fruit, built on its tannins. It is like a red wine variant.

Joby and I get back to the MyBuzzRadio studio after a long stretch of remotes and vacations to interview Janis and Marlow Barger from Plan B Wine Cellars. We discuss the unique name of their winery, their preferences in wine and why they chose to focus on Rhone varietals. We also talk about the differences between a Rose and White Zin and about their wine on tap

Zinfandel – en druva man kanske mest förknippar med USA men som faktiskt har sitt ursprung i Europa. I dagens avsnitt får vi en lektion i Zinfandel; bland annat dess historia, hur vinet smakar, om White Zin...och vad menas egentligen när det står Old Vine på en flaska?

Our guest today is Ross Halleck from Halleck Vineyard, who tells his story to Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger. Steve asks Ross to describe the journey that he and his wife Jennifer have had in the wine world. They planted the vineyard in 1992 and 1993. They were the first vineyard in west Sebastopol. They ordered the root stock out of the yellow pages, and their first vintage won best Pinot Noir in the US. Greg La Follette was their mentor and winemaker at the beginning. Greg La Follette has been on CWC a few times before, the last one was here, in November 2018.) The label at the time was "Tandem Vineyard." Now Rick Davis is their current winemaker. Ross says, "he's a savant." Dan Berger and Ross Halleck have been friends for several years. They have one acre. Yet at that time, Sebastopol hills was not recognized for its Pinot Noir. It was really a residential neighborhood. There are no 15 acre plots. Everything they make is world class. Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Gewürtstraminer, Ross tells about how he met the musician Josh Groban who found his wine and was impressed enough to reach out to Ross. He was interested in making wine. He is busy with concert tours, a book, Broadway, recording, etc. They are a small family winery and the idea of making a celebrity wine was not their idea. But Josh was not interested in that. He said he'd like to make wine to benefit his charity, The Find Your Light Foundation. They fund public school arts programs in the US. They have been doing the project for over 2 years and have raised over a quarter of a million dollars for arts education. They are tasting a Halleck Vineyard White Zinfandel. Ross explains what that is, compared to a Rosé. White Zin was popular for a while. This will be called "Not Your Mother's" White Zinfandel. To make Rosé, usually they bleed off "saigner" some of the a red wine. so there is more skin contact with the remaining juice, then they add white wine to that and call it a Rosé. Typically these are high in alcohol. Dan says this has lower alcohol, about 13%, therefore more delicate in the mouth. About 80% of his wine sells to his wine club, the rest to top restaurants in New York, Chicago and San Francisco. His wine club wanted him to make Rosé. He tasted some local ones and was not very happy and if he couldn't sell them he'd have to drink them. So he decided to make one that he would like. He calls it a flight of fancy. Dan Berger says it's like raspberry juice with no sugar. Sutter Home made a nice dry Zinfandel in 1983. One vintage came out sweet and Dan thought it would not sell but instead it was a hit. Dan says this is a much finer product, it's a serious Rosé. The color is dark but it is more like a dry white wine with color. They only have about 130 cases. They will be making it again next year. They also do a Sauvignon Blanc that Dan Berger loves. He says there's nothing about SV that calls to mind any other variety; it is unique. If you try to play with the grape to make it more rich and oily, you lose that green tea or green pepper component that is an important part of that variety. This is a unique vision of a winemaker. Dan calls it a great "concept wine." Ross says it won #1 SV in the USA in the Sunset magazine competition. According to Dan, California is moving away from Sauvignon Blanc characteristics to become more tropical and more friendly in the aroma and taste, with maybe a trace of sugar and more alcohol. Yet this one is a classic Sancerre style, brisk, sea air, flinty, and minerally. All of their grapes come from small vineyards in Sebastopol. The immediate accolades that they got gave them "begging rights" to ask to get grapes from his neighbors. With Gewürtztraminer, if it sits on the vine too long, the skins turn pinkish, meaning high tannins. If you harvest late, the white wine will be bitter. Some wineries leave residual sugar to cover the bitterness but that's not authentic.

Und schon wieder drei Wochen vorüber und es wird langsam Zeit für neue Weine. Heute gibt's die vorerst letzte Folge der Miniserie "Warum dieser Wein genau so schmeckt!" mit dem spannenden Thema Roséweine. DIE 3 Key Facts dieser Episode: Roséwein ist per Definition keine Mischung aus Rot- und WeißweinEs gibt unterschiedliche Verfahren der Herstellung (Junganlagen, früher Abzug, Saignée)Es gibt eine große Bandbreite an Farbschattierungen abhängig von Rebsorte und Dauer des Schalenkontaktes (von blass rosa bis Zwiebelschalenfarbig) Roséweine jeglicher Art, sei es "normaler Stillwein", Champagner oder sogar Portwein, ist das Marktsegment mit den größten Zuwachsraten in den letzten Jahren. Obwohl es einige Anbaugebiete gibt, in denen seit jeher Roséweine gekeltert wird, so wurde in Kalifornien Mitte der 1970er Jahre eine kleine Revolution eingeleitet. Mit den aus der sehr dunkelblauen Zinfandel-Rebe im Saignée-Verfahren gewonnenen Roséweine konnten neue Konsumentengruppen angesprochen werden (in erster Linie weibliche und junge Weintrinker). Im Laufe der letzten 20 Jahre wurde der Marktanteil von Rosés immer größer und galt/gilt, als ein starkes Zugpferd für den Weinabsatz. Um auch bei den Rosés einen Überblick zu bekommen, wie breit aufgestellt sich die Stile präsentieren, verkosten wie heute einen der Klassiker (Tavel) und einen typischen jungen, fruchtbetonter Vertreter aus der Neuen Welt: Les Vignerons de Tavel; Les Lauzeraies; Tavel (südl. Rhône, Frankreich); 2016 ; 8,10€ Delheim Pinotage Rosé; Stellenbosch, Südafrika; 2018; 7,90€ Es bestätigen Ausnahmen (wie bspw. Rosés von der südlichen Rhône oder der Provence) zwar die Regel, dass Roséweine nicht der allerernsthafteste Wein ist und in den meisten Fällen nicht hohen Qualitätsanforderungen entsprechen kann. Das zeigt sich schon tendenziell an der angewendeten Kellertechnik: Das Saignée-Verfahren läßt Rosés als ein Nebenprodukt der Rotweinerzeugung entstehen, weil es zur Konzentration des Mostes eingesetzt wird. Dennoch haben sich Roséweine als Allrounder bei der Speisenbegleitung - insbesondere bei sommerlichen Grillpartys - gemacht und haben einen immer breitere Käuferschicht erobert. Es ist auch ein Kompromisswein, den sowohl dezidierte Weiß- als auch Rotweintrinker "akzeptieren". Die Buchempfehlung dieser Woche ist: "Der kleine Johnson 2019" wieder mal von Hugh Johnson.

Another week and some more crazy topics, catch up with us as we talk about prenups, getting the "switch" and more!

Rosé is so popular now that the market is flooded. So the question now is not just do you want rosé, but what kind? How do you figure it out? There are some ways to choose the kind of pink for you! This podcast gives you heuristics to get a perfect bottle! Here are the show notes:    The four ways to make rosé: LIMITED SKIN MACERATION Crush the grapes Leave them in contact with the skins like a red wine   Soak them for a little while – like 2 hours to 2 days or so (red wines are weeks or months) Longer maceration, the darker the wine, the more tannin, the more red wine character   DIRECT PRESSING Similar to limited skin maceration, direct pressing -- contact with the skins for an extremely short period of time. No maceration, press and get skins away, make it like a white wine Some color in the juice, lightest rose of all   SAIGNÉE METHOD The saignée, or “bleeding,” method makes rosé AND red wine Started as a way to concentrate reds. Early in the maceration process, remove or “bleed” some of the juice from the tank. Vinified separately as a rosé   BLENDING White + red = rosé Prohibited for quality wines in Europe except Champagne Style varies from light to heavy depending on the amount and type of red wine used in the blend   Grapes/areas and flavors: French styles: Provence – salmon colored, Grenache lead with Syrah, Cinsault, Mourvedre: fruity, berry, cherry, with orange, saline, hay/dried grass or meadow, stony, floral, berry notes, bone dry, acidic, strawberry, fresh-cut watermelon, and rose petal, finishing with a distinctive, salty minerality on the palate Rhone: Tavel: only 100% rose appellation. Lots of structure and character – Grenache and Cinsault, 9 grapes authorized, ages well Sancerre, Burgundy, Alsace, Germany Pinot Noir: acidity and soft, subtle aromas of watermelon, raspberries, cherry, strawberries, and stream. Earthy, elegant, Bone dry Bandog from Provence: Mourvedre. Full bodied, richer, darker Loire: Cab Franc/Cab Sauv/Grolleau/Gamay Rose –  can be dark red, bone dry, floral, herbal   Spain: Tempranillo lead: Savory, heavy color – herbal, peppery, watermelon, strawberry, heavier, earthy, floral Basque Txakolina Rosado: berries, spritzy, salinity, low alcohol   Italy:   Red fruit, flowers/roses, citrus, savory AKA – Rosato, Cerasuolo, Ramato     New World: Syrah lead: bolder, more like a light red – strawberry, pepper, cherry, peach Cab Sauv: deep ruby red color with typical Cab notes: green bell pepper, cherry, black currant and black pepper White Zin: 85% of Zin production. Off-dry, sticky sweet. Carignan lead – common in CA: red berries, citrus Malbec: In Argentina Any combo possible, as well as sugar and blending white and red   Remember, it's ok to drink rosé once fall begins!    Thanks to our sponsor The Great Courses! www.thegreatcoursesplus.com/wine
