What is a GSM blend and why is it called a Rhone Blend? The G, S and M stand for Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre. The Rhone Valley is the original home of GSM blends and of course the reason why it is sometimes referred to as a Rhone Blend. The Rhone Valley has two parts: the Northern Rhone Valley is known for its steep-sloping vineyards, where Syrah is produced. The Southern Rhone is a much larger region and lacks the steep slopes of the north. This is where the GSM blends are produced. Probably the most famous area in the Southern Rhone is Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Wine Folly says these wines will have more red fruit flavors with notes of herbs. While, GSM blends from California or Australia will have darker fruits with notes of clove.Tonight, we are enjoying two GSM Blended wines including:2019 Delas Freres Cotes du Rhone Saint-Esprit purchased at Costco for $13. It has delicate tannins which is unique for the Côtes-du-Rhône appellation. The nose is classic syrah, with berry fruit, violet and licorice.2018 Skylark Wine Company Red Belly Rhone Blend. This wine was purchased from Wine Styles for $17. It is juicy and creamy black fruits plum, blackberry and crushed cherry fruit coat the entire palate, with intricately woven tannins.We scored both wines a 3 out of 5. Denise would buy both again. I would pass on both. Next week we will explore the differences between Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, and Chenin Blanc.

Zinfandel has been in America since the early to mid 1800s and was once the most popular wine grape in California. It is known for its old vine wines.In fact, in the past it was a victim of its own popularity, and became known as a common cheaper wine. A lot of Zinfandel juice kits were sold during prohibition which also hurt its reputation.However, in the 1980s and 1990s it gained in sales and acreage because of the popularity of White Zinfandel. Currently Zinfandel is the third most planted wine grape in California behind Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir and just ahead of the fourth most planted wine grape Merlot. California is the world leader in Zinfandel. Most popular regions in California are Sonoma, Napa, Paso Robles, and the Sierra Foothills. Many old vine Zinfandels are also found in Lodi. Other regions includes the Languedoc, South Africa, and Australia. Additionally, Puglia, Italy, grows the same grape, where it is called Primitivo., and in Croatia it is called Tribidrag.Zinfandel is known as a medium-body, higher-alcohol wine. According to “Wine Folly,” it is commonly produced into two types of red wine: a lighter style with lower alcohol and flavors of raspberry, rose petal, spice cake, sage, and black pepper, and a richer style with higher alcohol and flavors of blackberry, cinnamon, caramel, jam, chocolate, and smoky tobacco. Tonight, we are enjoying two California Zinfandels including: 2019 Kirkland Signature Old Vine Zinfandel. Purchased at Costco for $9.99. This wine comes from Sonoma, CA. 2019 Seghesio Family Vineyards Zinfandel. This wine was purchased at Costco for $16.99. The wine comes from Sonoma County, CA. Next week we will learn about Fume Blanc.2023 Ferrari-Carano Fume Blanc. This wine was purchase from Costco for $10.99.

    “Hey everyone, it's Paul Kay here from Wine Talks, and let me tell you… buying wine? It's more than just grabbing a bottle off the shelf. It's emotional! Just like our guest from this episode, Madeline Puckette, said—‘purchasing wine is an emotional experience.' And she's not wrong. So, how do we connect all those emotions to wine? Storytelling.”   “You know, I've been in this business for a long time, and let me tell you something—it's not just about the taste or the price. It's about the story behind it—the winemaker who poured their soul into it, the vineyard where the grapes grew, and yes, even the vintage itself.”   “And as Madeline put it, storytelling is like pulling at those heartstrings. It's the thing that makes you pick a certain bottle, not just because it's good, not just because it pairs well, but because it has a story you can't wait to share when you pour it.”   “Look, folks, wine isn't just a drink. It's an experience, an adventure waiting to happen! And here's the thing—these stories? They're what make this industry so amazing. It hasn't changed since the beginning of time. Why? Because at the end of the day, a bottle with a story, well… that's the bottle you're going to enjoy the most.”   “So the next time you're looking for a bottle, think about the story. Not just where it's from, but who made it, why they made it, and what makes it unique. That's what turns a good bottle of wine into a great memory.”     Episode Highlights: Wine as an Emotional Experience: Madeline shares her insights into how purchasing wine is deeply tied to emotions and storytelling. Discover how a bottle of wine can become a beautiful story to savor and enjoy. The Shift in Wine Education: Learn about the evolution of wine education from traditional channels to the digital age.

Unlock the secrets behind how palates evolve over time, much like Madeline's journey from her first coterone to a love for Riesling. The Role of Innovation in Wine: Madeline and Paul discuss the challenges and opportunities facing small wineries in today's market. From DTC models to tapping into unique stories, discover how creativity and storytelling pave the way for success.

This is the weekly columnIf you have a wine lover on your Christmas/holiday gift list, some recommendations.Wine always is appreciated. Gift wine they enjoy, a proclivity you likely know, but if you do not, ask. If you are trying to disguise your gifting intentions, there are many clever ways to inquire. Wine lovers are never hesitant to discuss wine.There are almost infinite options depending on the depth of your friendship and your pocketbook. For casual friends, a single bottle festively wrapped works. For deeper friendships, several bottles or large format bottles play well. You also can go with one or more bottles of high end wines costing three figures. Just do not give with the expectation they will share it with you, although that certainly can happen. Win-win.For very close friends or family, consider a gift membership in a winery's wine club or a non-winery subscription service. That becomes a gift appreciated all year.Practical non-wine gifts:• Waiter's friend hinged corkscrew. Has everything you need to open a bottle of wine, cheap enough to be a stocking stuffer. Worst choice—winged corkscrew. Everything about a winged corkscrew is wrong.• Simple wine decanter. Avoid fancy, showy ones that are easy to break and impossible to clean.• Wine chiller. Essentially an insulating shield to keep wine at the proper temperature. The most popular are made of stainless steel or marble.Wine reading/research material:• Magazine subscriptions. Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast are the leading monthly magazines.• Website subscriptions. Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast are excellent online; unfortunately, they are not bundled with the printed magazine. Wine Folly offers on-line classes, informing videos, and Wine Folly—The Master Guide ($21) is an excellent, easy reference book. RobertParker.com and JamesSuckling.com are filled with searchable wine evaluations and features. wine-searcher.com and vivino.com are search engines for almost every wine made. And there is my Substack blog: gusclemens.substack.com .Books:• Rosé Revolution by Rasmus Emborg and Jens Honoré—massive, beautiful coffee-table tome. $45• Wine and the White House: A History by Frederick J. Ryan, Jr.—massive, beautiful coffee-table tome. $65• Malbec mon amour by Laura Catena and Alejandro Vigil—definitive work; Catena is Argentina's leading spokesperson for (and maker of) malbec. $20• The Mad Crush: An Obscure California Vineyard and the Quest to Make One Great Wine by Sean C. Weir—engaging, expanded version of cult winemaking memoir (paperback). $15Last roundQ: Why is Christmas just like your job?A: You do all the work and the fat guy with the suit who only works one night a year gets all the credit.

Som navnet antyder er det i den nordlige del af Piemonte og det er et område, der skiller sig ud i forhold til resten af Piemonte. Vi smager tre rødvine fra huset NOAH.     Det er vine på nebbiolo-druen, men i en helt anden stil end længere sydpå i Piemonte og hvor alkoholprocenten ligger ca. 1,5% under vinene i Barolo og Barbaresco. Det her er “moderne/seje/cool” vine på nebbiolo.   Vi skal også have den grundige introduktion til nebbiolo-druen.   Hvad sker der hvis jorden er FOR fertil og hvad sker der hvis vinene står i meget næringsrig jord?     Hvad er og kan druerne croatina og vesplina, som de også bruger i vinene hos NOAH?     Hvilken jordbund findes der i området, hvornår modner nebbiolo-druen og hvilke regler er der for antal procenter af hjælpedruesorter i vinene?     Har René mon fået brugt sit nye forklæde, som Jonas gav ham i gave og hvilken mad kan man spise til vinene?     Til slut svarer vi på et lytterspørgsmål angående den nye vinstil vs. den “gamle” vinstil og hvad der mon bliver moderne at drikke i fremtiden?     Kort over Piemonte https://media.winefolly.com/Piedmont-Italy-Wine-Map-2016-Wine-Folly-1.jpg       Vi smager på   1) Rossonoah, NOAH, 2023 https://vinpusheren.dk/products/rossonoah-2020-magnum     2) Bramaterra Salero, NOAH  2019https://vinpusheren.dk/products/noah-bramaterra-salerno-2019     3) Lessona, NOAH, 2019https://vinpusheren.dk/products/noah-bramaterra-salerno-2019   .....................

It's Monday, Let's raise a glass to the beginning of another week. It's time to unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and let's begin Exploring the Wine Glass!  Today, as promised, I am sharing the second part of a fantastic seminar I attended hosted by Serial Wines in Paso Robles. I hope you enjoyed the first part. Today, we continue with the senses and how to relate to the taste of wine. The background noise is a bit louder, (as more alcohol was consumed.) As a reminder, the event was for industry and it was right up my alley. It was the science of taste. This is particularly near and dear to me as I have a published article in Wine Folly on the topic. (in fact one of the images used in the seminar was taken from that exact article - what a pleasant surprise!) This is a great seminar, and has a lot of intriguing information. Please note, that as with all recordings like this, the audio is not at peak, but I still think you will fully enjoy it. The second part of the education seminar will be next week! So be sure to come back.  If you listen to a lot of podcasts, you know that many ask for patreon. We do not plan on doing this, but we do ask you to support the podcast by leaving a review. It takes only a few seconds of your time but means so much to the show. The next best way to support Exploring the Wine Glass is to tell your friends. If you enjoy the podcast, your wine loving friends will too.

The event was for industry and it was right up my alley. It was the science of taste. This is particularly near and dear to me as I have a published article in Wine Folly on the topic. (in fact one of the images used in the seminar was taken from that exact article - what a pleasant surprise!) This is a great seminar, and has a lot of intriguing information. Please note, that as with all recordings like this, the audio is not at peak, but I still think you will fully enjoy it. The second part of the education seminar will be next week! So be sure to come back.  If you listen to a lot of podcasts, you know that many ask for patreon. We do not plan on doing this, but we do ask you to support the podcast by leaving a review. It takes only a few seconds of your time but means so much to the show. The next best way to support Exploring the Wine Glass is to tell your friends. If you enjoy the podcast, your wine loving friends will too.

In 2010, Radio Host Adam Montiel combined his longtime love for broadcasting with his, then, new love for wine. He created and produced, ‘The Cork Dorks'. The show was hosted with Adam and his good friend Jeremy. It was the first of its kind. It began focusing on central coast wineries but as the show grew, so did their ability to travel and meet other winemakers they found everywhere from Napa to Bordeaux that adopted that same Central Coast quality of people willing to share their wines, and their stories. As the area grew, soon the show covered everything from spirits, craft beer, cider, cuisine, hospitality, and more. Fast forward to today, the spirit and enthusiasm cultivated with the award winning The Cork Dorks show, is reborn, this time independently, and unfettered by corporate authority leaving it even more free to share the journey of making wine more approachable and fun for everyone.  Here, We Taste It. We Spill It. We Leave it All On the Table. This is ‘The Pour' with Adam Montiel.__________Sincere Thanks to those who support The Pour.

"From beginner to pro, Wine Folly is your #1 trusted resource for wine education." Madeline Puckette is the chief design officer at Folly Enterprises and co-creator of Winefolly. A brilliant website designed to educate "beginners and beyond" about wine. Winefolly.com has debuted in  Food & Wine, Forbes, The New York Times and more. They have written two books that appeared on the NY Times bestseller list as well as won a James Beard Award. Madeline is passionate about good wine for all. She is not your average sommelier trying to push expensive bottles to wealthy clients. She had her epiphany during her sommelier training that motivated her to sell and teach good wine to any ol' wine drinker. Her success, like many great tales, started by getting laid off and hitting the bottom. Puckette is high energy go getter with a super power to get sh*t done. Get to know Madeline in this laid back interview. We loved having her enthusiasm on the show. Prefer to watch? Check out her interview on our Youtube channel, The Mark Howley Show.

We are tasting two wines by the Davey Family at two different price points. One wine is an Estate Grown Shiraz and the other is a vineyard specific D Block Shiraz. These Syrah or Shiraz wines are grown in the McLaren Vale Australia near Adelaide. We'll touch the name origins briefly and talk more about wine growing region. Of course, we discuss whether or not if the wines have a perceptible difference after tasting. We finish up with a brief discussion on where some of the costs occur in winemaking.   Article covering the name origins of Shiraz and Syrah: https://winelovermagazine.com/blog/syrah-vs-shiraz-what-is-the-difference/ Wine Folly article about the price difference in wine: https://winefolly.com/tips/truth-cheap-vs-expensive-wine/ and https://winefolly.com/lifestyle/reality-of-wine-prices-what-you-get-for-what-you-spend/ Davey Family wine website (as Shingleback Wines): https://shingleback.com.au/our-story/  Introduction to the McLaren Vale wine region: https://mclarenvale.info/   Send feedback to timetotastetx@gmail.com Visit our website: https://www.timetotastetx.com

We are tasting the Chateau SABY's 2020 Bordeaux Superieur Merlot. The Saby family has been making wines in the Bordeaux region for 9 generations. Their winery has offerings of very high end Saint Emillion Grand Cru to the more budget friendly Chateau Saby we are tasting in this episode. I give a primer on the Bordeaux geography and the delineation that also maps to the wines made in Bordeaux. If you have been intimidated with trying Bordeaux wines, this is an excellent wine to dip your toe and try something new.   Producer's website: http://www.vignobles-saby.fr/?lg=en Wine Folly introduction to Bordeaux: https://bordeaux.guides.winefolly.com/ Official website of the Bordeaux wine region: https://www.bordeaux.com/us/   Send feedback to timetotastetx@gmail.com Visit our website: https://www.timetotastetx.com

In deze podcast vertellen we je meer over de roemrijke geschiedenis van Chianti Classico. Het gebied heeft nogal al wat strubbelingen gekend. Veel oorlogen die voornamelijk te maken hadden met grenzen. Waar begint Chianti en waar eindigt het? Hoe omlijn je de Classico-zone? Wat hebben die andere subzones er mee te maken? Dit en meer hoor je in de podcast. De aanleiding van deze podcast was het tripje dat Nadien maakte naar Toscane. Ze was uitgenodigd om de #cecchichallenge te presenteren. Een initiatief van Cecchi Winery in Toscane (maar ook aanwezig in Umbrië). Een wijnhuis dat inmiddels ook al langer dan een eeuw meegaat. Ze maken wijnen in alle prijsklasse. De instapwijnen zijn te vinden bij de Albert Heijn, de estate wijnen staan bij de Sligro. Enkele van mijn favorieten die voorbij kwamen in de 36 uur dat we in Toscane waren: Villa Cerna Samma 2017 --> 100% cabernet franc uit Toscane Villa Rosa Chianti Classico Gran Selezione --> 100% sangiovese en heel mooi Coevo 2011 --> Super Tuscan, blend van Bordeaux druivenrassen en sangiovese Villa Cerna Primocolle Chianti Classico 2019 --> 95% sangiovese en typisch Chianti, love it Poggio al Leone 2013 --> morellino di scansano, 90% sangiovese, krachtiger dan de Chianti Classico Andere huizen die voorbij komen zijn Badia a Coltibuono, Romitorio, Isole e Olena (Cepparello), Antinori (Tignanello). Daarnaast noemen we nog meer: I'll drink to that podcast met Luis Seabra (link) Schema van WineFolly met subzones van Chianti

Another solo episode this week! I wanted to take a break from all the job searching to sit down with a glass of wine and chat with you guys. This topic has been on my mind a lot lately, especially because I am STILL unemployed and living at home with my parents as a 26 year old, but hey I feel like that should be normalized right? This week I get into how I personally feel about still living at home in my late 20s, the pros and cons that made me decide to move back home, and why I believe it is OKAY if you are on the same boat as I am. I also share some data and Instagram interactions about this topic and those in their 20s. So if you are in the same boat as I am and just want to drink some wine while venting about the internal struggles and guilt that comes with still living at home in your 20s, then grab a glass and chat with me!

Lenora Carey of Big Sur Vineyards is a California native with an undeniable spirit of adventure. In her first career as a documentary filmmaker, diving with sharks and tracing the footsteps of human origins were all part of a day's work. But it was in Southern France, working on a film about wine barrel making, that she discovered her love for Rhone wines. A life change was on the horizon, and in 2005 she left San Francisco and moved her family to Big Sur to “raise a couple of kids and live off the land in one of the most beautiful places on earth." She honed her wine knowledge at Sonoma-Cutrer and when she started experimenting with grape growing on her land in Big Sur, she discovered that the Rhone varieties she had come to love grew particularly well in Monterey County. Three years after her first vintage, and months after opening a tasting room, the 2016 Soberanes fire devoured her home, vineyards, and olive grove. Without missing a step, and with great determination, she continued making wine and building her business. Lenora's boldness and energy are reflected in her wines in their bright, complex, and vibrant style. In this episode, Lenora is taking us to the beautiful place of Carmel Valley and shares with us 6 of her wine picks. Let's dive in!  [00:00 - 9:12] Opening Segment  I introduce our topic for this episode  Join my wine club and connect with other wine lovers!  See link below I welcome our guest, Lenora Carey Lenora talks about how she discovered wine as a passion   [08:13 - 22:09] How Big Sur Vineyards Came About Lenora walks us through the early days of Big Sur Vineyards Incorporating the feeling of Big Sur Check out her eating and drinking guide in the link below Top 2 places in Carmel Valley that listeners should check out Big Sur and Rhone wine varietals Where Lenora sources her fruit   Join my wine club and connect with other wine lovers!  See link below   [22:10 - 27:56] Wine Picks for the Month Monterey County being known for Pinot and Chardonnay Serve six wines in our tasting Rose Big Sur White Chardonnay Pinot Big Sur Red Syrach  Lenora recommends wine pairings [27:57 - 39:59] Closing Segment Ingredients for success What's next for Big Sur Vineyards Misconceptions about wine packaging Possible wine trends in the future Lenora shares her favorite wine Lenora's favorite wine resource Connect with Lenora through the links below    Resources Mentioned:  The Wine Folly   Tweetable Quotes: “I think a big misconception now is that if a bottle doesn't have foil, or you know, it doesn't have a cork or whatever, that's not good wine. I think it's good to make sure people understand that that's not always a choice. It's just simply a winemaker's decision about how they want to present their wine.” - Kris Levy   “There's nothing more beautiful than having the right cheese with the right wine. And that's just that it's almost a meal for me because if you have two or three different styles of cheese, you have a couple of different wines.” - Lenora Carey Connect with Lenora through Instagram, Facebook, or checkout their website at www.bigsurvineyards.com.

I get asked somewhat often, "What are tasting notes, really?" Or rather, to be honest, I get asked: "What am I supposed to be tasting, anyway?" Well, when you get down to it, you taste what you taste.  Sure, I can help, but really, wine is such a subjective thing that I generally hate to push what I think I'm tasting or smelling onto the drinker I'm with.  This can also make tasting notes (and notes on the aromatic profiles of wine) seem somewhat arbitrary to the beginner.  And that's okay! Basically, tasting notes refer to a wine taster's (or, in some cases, a coffee taster's!) testimony about the aroma, taste identification, acidity, structure, texture, and the balance of a wine, designed to allow the reader to get an idea of what the experience of imbibing that particular vintage is like. They can get as creative as you like, or as simple as you like.  Often-times, such notes may seem like gibberish, but this Sommelier-speak has a code that isn't as difficult to translate as beginners think.  In short, what you taste, is what you taste. These notes are NOT related to what is in the wine or how it was made, usually; these flavors are not added. The winemakers for this wine didn't pour in pickle juice during fermentation, for example.  In many cases, they aren't even the same molecule, but they hit the receptors in the olfactory lobes of the brain in the same way as those flavors in food, drink, or spices do.  Wine Folly has a great article on how to approach writing your own tasting notes which can be found in the websites listed at the end of the show notes. For this podcast discussing tasting notes, Elizabeth Krecker and I decided to drink the 2014 Sémillon from Dirty and Rowdy Family Winery, based out of Napa Valley, though they source grapes from multiple vineyards across the state of California. This wine is a complex blend of two different styles of fermentation; one on the skins (a.k.a., Amber Wine) and another aged in concrete. Elizabeth and I loved the tasting notes that they used to describe their wines and thought it would be fun to explore what we tasted in this wine versus what the winemakers tasted.  They've got a lot of fun wines, and I highly recommend them.

¡Bienvenidos amigos, al episodio cincuenta y dos del podcast Make America Grape Again! ¡En este episodio, volvemos a hacer uva de México con el Rosado 2017 de Casa Madero, la bodega más antigua del Nuevo Mundo! Okay, sorry for my horrible Spanish there. Welcome to Episode 52 of the Make America Grape Again podcast, where we're going to sneak across the border and explore the 2017 Rosado from Casa Madero, which happens to be the oldest winery in the New World! Founded in 1597 as Hacienda San Lorenzo, Casa Madero has been producing wines intermittently in the Parras Valley of Coahuila over the course of the last 422 years. There have been times when the vineyard was left fallow, but the winery is currently producing again.  I wanted to do at least one Mexico bonus episode, so I was stoked to stumble across this bottle randomly at Total Wine in Phoenix. The 2017 Rosado is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, and for more information on production, we do a ceremonial reading of the tech sheet in this episode. (I should also note that I will have at least one more Mexico episode in the future... probably.) Mexico is a wild frontier for winemaking, with only about 7,700 acres under vine. As I mentioned above, the history of Mexican wine begins with this winery. Winemaking here, and in other vineyards in New Spain produced such fantastic vintages that King Charles II decided to prohibit the production of wine in Spain's colonies, except for the making of wine for the Church in 1699. This prohibition stayed in force until Mexico achieved independence from Spain in 1821. Naturally, this meant that from the end of the 18th century to the middle of the 19th, most wine production was done by clergy. The Santo Tomás Mission, founded in Baja California in 1791 by the Jesuits, reactivated larger-scale production of wine in Mexico. In 1843, Dominican priests began growing grapes at the nearby Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe del Norte mission, located in what is now called the Valle de Guadalupe.  Today, the Valle de Guadalupe is largely touted as the premium wine-producing area of Mexico.  No longer just a gag in Frasier, vintages of wine from this are, along with the neighboring San Vicente and Santo Tomás Valleys produce 90 percent of all Mexican Wines.  The region has become famous for wines made from Nebbiolo, Mission, and Zinfandel. Part of the reason for this region's popularity is the ease of travel to this area from tourist ports and towns in Baja Californa, such as Ensenada.  In addition to the wine regions in Baja, wines are also being made in Durango, the aforementioned Parras Valley in Coahuila, Aguascalientes in Zacatecas, and Queretaro in Central Mexico. Wine Folly does have a brief intro guide and overview of Mexican wine on their website. In short, Mexico is producing some good wines, and those vintages are well worth exploring.
