This isn't the end, it's actually just the beginning of a major revolution, according to this week's guest—Master Sommelier (and importer/distributor) Ken Frederickson. Ken joins us to discuss how the landscape has shifted in the last 20 years and what he believes wine drinkers can look forward to in the coming decades. From a surprising union between wine and spirits to why restaurants might shift away from selling wines by the bottle, we're covering all the ways the wine industry is adapting for the next generation of wine drinkers.
Wine collectors love to talk about the good old days—when cult wines were going for a fraction of the price they are today and didn't have waiting lists. How did brands like Harlan and Screaming Eagle achieve cult status? And is it still possible to achieve that today? On this episode, we're hunting for the next big thing with the dynamic father-daughter-duo from one of the fastest-growing wine YouTube channels: “Our Pour Decisions.” What are their secrets to spotting diamonds in the rough? What are the ones that got away? And which winemaker do they think will be the next big thing?
If you're looking for value, you can have place or you can have grape, but you usually can't have both. That's why we enlisted Vince Anter from the award-winning wine show V is for Vino, who is been termed “the Bourdain of Wine TV.” He joins Amanda to discuss their favorite lesser-known wine regions … because exploring different wine regions allows you to experience unique flavors and blends. What's the best way to find wine from unexpected places? What's the best way to explore those lesser-known wine regions? And is Lambrusco the best pizza wine out there?
Caleb Mosley proudly waltzed into his 4th grade class covered in Cabernet stains so it's no surprise that he's now the Executive Director of the Napa Valley Grapegrowers. Having worked with some of the most revered vineyards in California, he joins us to discuss how farming impacts what's in your glass and how understanding its role in the winemaking process can lead to savvier wine buying. From whether “old vines” means anything to how the Napa elite decide what to plant in the vineyard, this episode is your backstage pass into the vineyard. Want access to Napa Valley's most exclusive experiences, like a walk in the Scarecrow vineyard and a one-of-a-kind vacation on Pritchard Hill? Then don't miss this episode.
From single vineyard grape selections to ultra-specific techniques, winemakers are taking rosé more seriously than ever. But how do you discern which style is right for you?

Join us as Raquel discusses how she spots the best bottles based on the label, why she thinks rosé is the most underrated wine on the planet, and what her favorite bottles are.
On this very special crossover episode, Wine Access Unfiltered host Amanda McCrossin joins Dr. Matthew Horkey's YouTube channel. He interviews Amanda, who opens up about the first HUGE mistake she made as a sommelier at Press, why one of the world's most popular wines just can't be aged, how a particular Chenin blanc makes her think of butterflies getting it on in the garden, and her favorite hack for traveling with wine.

Amanda gets thoughts from some of the best in the business—Niki Russ Federman of NYC's iconic Russ & Daughters, Jasmine Hirsch, Nia Renee Hill, Anthony Giglio, and Master Sommelier June Rodil—at the Aspen Food and Wine Classic.

This episode is the a first of a handful of interviews from producers in Willamette Valley. We are kicking it off with our interview with Mike Bayliss from Ghost Hill Cellars. Ghost Hill Cellars is located in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. It’s “a fifth generation century farm and estate vineyard, sustainably tended by the Bayliss family and the ghost of a murdered gold miner.” Wine Featured in this episode: These wines were provided to us for free 2014 Pinot Noir Blanc - priced around $25. This wine is a beautiful rose gold color made with no skin contact. It has a medium intense aromas of cherry licorice, sweet baking spices like star anise with cherry cola like aromas. This wine is dry with medium plus acidity and medium body with flavors of white flowers, lime pith, cherry, some minerality and a hint of dry hay. Thanks to the crisp, acidity we thought this would make a great food wine with poultry or pork based dishes. 2014 Bayliss-Bower Pinot Noir - priced around $42. Lots of cherry aromas in this wine but also aromas of dusty earth and sweet baking spices. It’s dry with medium plus acidity and light tannins with flavors of cherry cola, earth and dusty rose of the finish. Tony says he also got flavors of a chocolate colored candied orange peel (Betty not so much). This wine has an understated elegance to it and it’s definitely more of a Burgundy style Pinot Noir. 2014 Prospector’s Reserve Pinot Noir - priced around $55. This very small production (141 cases) is a blend of six barrels selected by the winemaker. It has medium intense aromas of dusty earth, rose and cherry cola. This wine is dry with medium acidity and tannins, with flavors of cherry cola, chalky minerality and a hint of orange. It's elegant and again in that burgundy style but bolder and more complex than the previous Pinot Noir. We’re coming up to our 100th episode and to celebrate, we want to make you part of the show!
