He created and produced, ‘The Cork Dorks'. The show was hosted with Adam and his good friend Jeremy West. 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's producer's grew, soon Adam's interview's covered everything from spirits, craft beer, cider, cuisine, hospitality, and more. Fast forward to today, the spirit and enthusiasm cultivated with the award winning show, is reborn as The Pour with Adam Montiel, 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.

This episode features a live audience conversation with Dan Kosta, the President and Founder of DK Wine Group including Convene, Admire, and Grail wines. Dan grew up in Sonoma County, and he has over 20 years of experience in the wine industry. Dan's career in the restaurant industry ultimately led him to wine production, but he worked as a back waiter, a waiter, bartender, operations manager, and finally wine director prior to founding a winery. In 1997, he started Kosta Browne winery with his business partner, Michael Browne, and they worked together to grow that project through direct-to-consumer sales and a nationwide distribution network. We talk about his experiences starting a winery from scratch, learning from his mistakes, and building his team along the way. They have since sold that first project, but it has led to opening the doors to this new effort of creating 3 synergist labels with DK Wine Group. We discuss the business and marketing side of his experiences, and he mentions how he is leveraging his network for giving back to community through Convene and his volunteer work. Thank you to Empire Distributors for making this possible, and I hope you can feel a little bit of the energy that was part of this tasting and conversation here in Atlanta. You can learn more about Dan's work at www.dk-convene.com and by following @convenebydankosta on Instagram. ------------------ Recorded with a live audience in Atlanta, GA on March 22, 2024 --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/acorkintheroad/support

This is the weekly newspaper columnBig wine 8-9-2023Most wine is produced by a small number of large wineries. At the same time, most wineries are small producers.In February 2023, Wine Business Monthly reported there were 11,601 wineries in the U.S. Eighty-three percent of those wineries produced 5000 cases of wine or less; 49% produced 1000 cases or less.Most U.S. wine is produced by one-half of one percent of our total number of wineries. Gallo is the behemoth with production of some 100 million cases a year—more than three percent of worldwide wine output, twice as much as its nearest competitors. Gallo produces more than the combined production of the next four big U.S. wineries—The Wine Group, Trinchero Family Estates, Delicato Family Wines, and Constellation Brands.Photo: Ser Amantio di NicolaoThe situation is not exactly the same in the other major wine producing countries, but similar. In Europe and elsewhere, there is winemaking where hundreds, even thousands, of grape farmers band together in cooperatives. The co-ops may produce wine for a grower's label or combine production of many growers under co-op labels or both produce some wine for the grower's label, then combine leftover grapes into co-op wines.The reason for this is simple. Many individuals simply do not have enough production to afford all that goes into winemaking—from equipment to skilled labor to marketing and sales.Large European makers—the big Champagne houses, for example—have equipment and supporting resources, but do not grow enough grapes on their own to meet demands. They buy grapes from growers.Around the world wine also is produced by négociants. A négociant or négoce is a wine merchant who purchases grapes, juice, or finished wines and then vinifies, bottles, or labels under their own names. Joseph Carr Josh Cellars is a popular U.S. wine that is a négociant operation.The idyllic wine picture is a sixth-generation family toiling in their vineyard, hand-sorting grapes, and lovingly shepherding juice through fermentation, aging, and bottling. That is true for some wine, but by no means all.Tasting notes• Joseph Carr Josh Cellars Chardonnay 2020 is a showy, crowd-pleasing commercial wine you easily can find thanks to abundant production and distribution. $11-15 Link to my review• Cantine Ermes Epicentro Nero d'Avola Riserva, Sicilia DOC 2016 is dense, fruity to jammy expression of Sicily's signature red grape. Made by a cooperative with 2,373 members. $15-20 Link to my reviewLast round: This summer is so hot, the local barbecue joint no longer has to burn wood to slow cook its brisket.

Gus Clemens on Wine explores and explains the world of wine in simple, humorous, fun posts
This is the weekly newspaper column.I inadvertently failed to attach the podcast on the original posting.This includes the podcast.Mass production vs great wine 4-19-2023The wine world divides into two camps: factory wines and distinct wines. That artificial division is black and white while the wine world is grey; it is simplistic and annoys those who recognize nuance. But the paradigm works in broad stroke terms. Let's explore.People drink wine for a cacophony of reasons. Weekend pleasure. Midweek indulgence. Social lubricant at a function. Means to clutch the next rung on a social ladder.When we buy wine, we confront an existential fork in the wine road. Factory wine—made in the millions to sate a specific, focus-group-determined wine profile. Find it in your grocery store. Not spectacular, but usually dead-center-perfect for what you expect.Or you can secure a distinct, non-factory wine seldom carried in grocery stores. When you find it, pull the cork to see what you got.Factory wine is security. Predictable. Readily available. Reasonably priced, sort of.Non-factory wine is none of those things—although reasonable pricing can sneak in, especially with Southern Hemisphere wines. Non-factory wines often are the product of relatively small acreage and the toil of a family, often for generations, especially in the Old World.Factory wines promise you predictable, market-tested flavors. Non-factory wines offer you adventure and the chance to soar above the clouds while the factory wines are flapping their wings to clear the tree tops.This column is not some despairing ramble. There are mega-wineries that have divisions producing extraordinary, terroir-driven, vintage-correct wines. Bravo Gallo, Constellation, The Wine Group, Treasury Wine Estate, and Viña Concha y Toro. But each of them also produces a vast lake of factory wines. This is how they got to be among the world's largest winemakers.I enjoy factory wines. I review them favorably for what they are. “Delicious” and “easy drinking” are descriptors I often use.And, then, there are the distinct wines. Often relatively small production by multi-generations of wine makers, but there are examples from divisions of mega-wineries, too. Distinct wines taste the place—terroir. They may have marginal imperfections—if art is perfect, it is bland. Pull cork and embrace surprise on the palate. Adventure is one big reason wine is wonderful.Tasting notes:• Symington Family Estates Quinta da Fonte Souto Portalegre Branco, Alentejo DOC 2020: rich with pleasing depth. Round, smooth, impressive length. $18-25 Link to my review• Bonterra The McNab, McNab Ranch Vineyard, Mendocino County 2020: bold, smooth, approachable. Flagship of organic and biodynamic-focused Bonterra. $52-60 Link to my reviewLast round: I told my doctor I hurt my hand opening French sparkling wine.

This is the weekly newspaper column.Everyday, commodity wines 11-9-2022November and December are the heaviest wine-buying months of the year. People not into wine—or even alcohol—indulge during the harvest feasts of Thanksgiving and Christmas and the bacchanalian excesses of New Year's.Insufferable wine aficionados may glorify the virtues of a bottling of an obscure grape. Wine you can't pronounce, much less purchase, unless your wealthy grandparent enrolled you in the allotment program. Okay, fine. That leaves the rest of us.We drink wine made in much larger batches—tens of thousands, even millions of bottles—costing from $10 to $30 and available at your local supermarket or wine store. There are brands that cut corners and bottle any juice they can buy by the tanker-truck, but there are scores of makers that create wines of substance made by real people dedicated to consistency and value. You have an excellent chance of enjoying one this holiday season.E. & J. Gallo—the world's largest family-owned winery—offers many examples. So do Constellation Brands, Treasury Wine Estates, The Wine Group, and others. Their portfolios may contain labels where massive supply and cheapest are lodestars, but they also produce a plethora of delicious, drinkable, affordable, accessible wines. No reason to blush when you pour them at your holiday table.Mega winery or mom-and-pop enterprise, fundamentals are the same. Good fruit. Winery skills. Good wine. Jessica Tomei, vice president at Cupcake Vineyards, the largest brand in the U.S. in the $8-11 category, notes: “We have more efficiencies, but it is the same process—just at a larger scale. It's still agriculture. We're subjected to weather, drought, smoke—all the different things that are thrown at us during the season.”Mega-makers strive for consistency. With a nod to The Fantasticks—“Plant a radish. Get a radish. Never any doubt.” Nothing wrong with that. As the seasons of joy cascade upon us, don't fret when you go safe and familiar for your family festival. All wine should be what you enjoy, not what what some snob tells you to enjoy. If you take away anything from my weekly efforts, let it be that.Tasting notes:• Valdo Floral Rosé Brut NV is a bright, delightful, substantial rosé. Easy drinker that invites you to take another sip, and—at 11.5% ABV—you can. $16-19 Link to my review• Bota Box Breeze Dry Rosé, California NV fresh red fruits in a low-alcohol, low carbs, refreshing boxed wine. $20-23 (three liters) Link to my reviewLast round: People who eat snails must not like fast food.This is a reader-supported publication.

Emil Sallnäs trillade in i vinbranschen på ett bananskal, i en tid då vin- och spritmonopolet precis hade avvecklats. Han började jobba för en liten importör där passionen för vin och vinhantverkets anor stod i centrum. Men Emil insåg bit för bit att vinmarknaden skulle kunna utvecklas på samma sätt som andra konsumentnära industrier. Det blev början på Viva Wine Group, som idag är enskilt störst på den svenska vinmarknaden. På vägen har Emil och hans kollegor bidragit till att helt förändra synen på hur vin paketeras och marknadsförs. Noll till hundra sponsras av Visma SPCS (www.vismaspcs.se). Gillar du ekonomi?

Rob McMillan is the EVP and Founder of Silicon Valley Bank's Wine Division. Rob is one of the top wine-business analysts in the United States and the Author of Silicon Valley Bank's highly regarded annual State of the Wine Industry Report, described by The New York Times as “… probably the most influential analysis of its kind.” With decades of experience researching the industry and working with winery clients, Rob's views are sought after and trusted by winery owners, journalists, entrepreneurs, and investors. He is a prominent speaker, both domestically and internationally, and you will find him extensively quoted in national, regional, and trade press. He has also been named several times as one of the Top 50 Most Influential People in the US Wine Business. Rob's banking career has spanned over 35 years — more than 25 with Silicon Valley Bank. In that time, he has held many roles, including Founder and Division Manager of the Wine Group, Executive Manager of the bank's commercial division, and several years as a member of Silicon Valley Bank's Managing Committee. He is currently responsible for establishing new winery relationships and offers private management presentations and strategic consulting to the bank's clients across the portfolio. Rob received a bachelor's degree in finance and economics from Sacramento State University and an MBA from Santa Clara University's Leavey School of Business. In this episode… How can you track the state of the wine industry? Can past data predict future possibilities? One of the top wine-business analysts is here to share his findings and advice to help your brand succeed. Rob McMillan has spent years researching trends and data in the wine industry. Using the facts and figures as his guiding star, Rob has found that current brands need to make changes in order to connect with new consumers. Surprisingly, only 20% of Millennials and 3% of Gen Z consume wine. So how can you engage with these younger generations and welcome them into the wine space? As Rob says, your brand has to showcase values that align with this wave of consumers. They want a shared experience, a mission-driven brand, and above all, authenticity. In this episode of VINTed, Scout Driscoll is joined by Rob McMillan, EVP and Founder of Silicon Valley Bank's Wine Division. Rob digs into the data of his annual wine industry reports, the current generational shifts happening within the industry, why experience is vital to consumer happiness, and the importance of aligning your brand's values, marketing, and story. You don't want to miss this insightful episode!

While launching a brand is never easy, Francisoco shares his insight into how it's NEVER THE “RIGHT TIME” to do anything in life, you just have to go for it!Francisco is a seasoned professional with years of experience. He has learned many things over the years, especially about PERSONAL COMMITMENT AND PLAYING THE LONG GAME. He has been on both sides of the table, working in executive management and as an entrepreneur in the US, Europe, and Latin America. Francisco is passionate about the work he has done for all types of products from the consumer goods industry, with a focus on specialty foods and spirits. Notably, he served as a US Consultant for MEC3, a global leader in the production of ingredients for gelato and pastries, Francisco has also held numerous high-level management positions with other industry-leading companies, including Stock Spirits Group USA, Seagram Spirits and Wine Group, Bacardi International and Brand Equity Partners Inc.Connect with Matt Rosenthal: LinkedIn: /matt-rosenthal-mindcore/ - Instagram: @mattrosenthal_ Connect with Francisco Tonarely: grandbrulot.comInstagram: @grandbrulot

Cameron Hughes Cameron Hughes joins Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger on California Wine Country today. He is a wine merchant, following more or less the business model of a négociant in France. He buys bulk wine for a low price and sells it to retail customers through De Négoce, his label and sales company. (The company name is French for "of the trade.") California produces so much good wine that not all of it finds a buyer. Dan Berger agrees the wine is really high quality wine that simply doesn't have a home. Cameron Hughes has been doing this for about 20 years. He built a concept called the “lot concept.” He sold that company in 2017. Cinergi was his previous brand. Then in 2019 someone offered him 100,000 gallons of 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon at a really good price and he felt he had to get back into the business. He finds wines that he can sell for 80% below their normal retail price. En Primeur is the French name of the early buying period in French wineries. (This is also done in Italy, la vendemmia. -ed.) Dan Berger says the difference is that Cameron Hughes has a fabulous palette so customers can trust his choices will turn out well. Mondavi used to have the slogan, “We'll sell no wine before its time,” spoken by the great Orson Welles. Cameron Hughes has reversed that and says, “We'll sell a big chunk of the wine before its time, because it's what I do.” They did over 90,000 cases of wine in the last year. The website store has launched. Last year, the wine wasn't even bottled. The earlier you buy in the cycle, the lower the price. They are tasting a Viognier that would sell for about $25 and Cameron Hughes sells it for $8. Since these wines are so young, consumers should cellar them for a while. Cameron agrees and says the need to keep them for a while is the tradeoff for getting a $25 bottle for $8. California Wine Country's sponsor Bottle Barn is where Wine Country buys its wine. Bottle Barn can ship wine to most states. Click the logo to visit Bottle Barn . com Cameron Hughes grew up in Modesto, California and went to high school "with the Gallo kids" and his dad worked for Gallo then for The Wine Group. His first job was to collect and dump old out-of-code wine. He got a sales job in the wine business where he could build up his personal cellar. There used to be a 40% discount given among people in the wine trade, but that's no longer done. Then he put a brand together and made a sale to Costco that started Cameron Hughes Lot 1. He sold that company and went into the high-end steak business, but was tempted by the wine business again and now has also started De Négoce. They taste a Chardonnay that Dan Berger says, “…leans in the direction of Chablis” so if you don't like fancy oak Chardonnay, this will be your taste. It will age for 10-12 years. Now they taste a different Chardonnay, in a different style. It's a richer, more opulent style. It is 14.2% alcohol, from Russian River Valley. It retails for $95, from a world-famous winemaker. But De Négoce is able to sell it for $20. Dan Berger says that is outrageous. There is a character in the fruit, it is less tropical and more citrus. It leans to a lime-flavor and fresh grapefruit component. There is another Chardonnay to taste. It comes from high up the Mayacamas Mountains, in Sonoma County, about 2000 feet of elevation. Part of the De Négoce business is that Cameron Hughes can not disclose exactly where the wine came from or who made it. Next is a Sonoma Mountain Cabernet, made by a husband-and-wife team. The vineyard is called Pickberry Vineyard on Sonoma Mountain. It is very young and needs time in the bottle. Dan says it's hard to tell how long to keep it because it is so young you still get primary fermentation characteristics in it. He would put it away for at least a year. Cameron and Dan agree that the 2018 Vintage of Napa Cabs is a great year. Next they taste a Spring Mountain Cabernet.

The Love Noir Pinot Noir 2018 is one of the new, bolder styles of Pinot Noir sourced from grapes farmed in several regions of California. This Pinot Noir is one of The Wine Group's families of wines.Love Noir Pinot Noir 2018, as a brand wine, is not tied to a single winery. Brand wines are typically aimed at a certain niche of wine drinkers in terms of style and price. If you are the focus group, they are looking to reach, and you may well have an enjoyable wine at a very nice price.I would say that the Love Noir Pinot Noir 2018 is aimed at folks who helped make Meiomi Pinot Noir a huge success. The new style is bigger, bolder, juicier Pinot Noir.Bigger, bolder, juicier Pinot Noir is fighting words for old-school Pinot Noir aficionados. Traditional Pinot Noir is all about the small details, which grape clones are used, which vineyards in what AVA. Aromas such as crushed fall leaves and mushrooms are priced. Flavors like tea or tar looked for.The new bold Pinot Noir ain't about any of that. They are rich, juicy, and full of flavor, not full of nuance. Me? I really love old-school Pinot Noir, but I also have some love for rich, bold, juicy wines. It is hard to complain that a glass of wine has great flavors.I picked up a bottle of Love Noir Pinot Noir 2018 for one reason. Valentine's Day is coming up, and the Love Noir's two main flavors are black cherry and chocolate. I have absolutely no problem with chocolate-covered cherries, so I wanted to see how well Love Noir pulled off its flavor profile.The Love Noir Pinot Noir 2018 is not the kind of wine with detailed production technical notes, so I do not have much to rely on how the Pinot Noir was made. The tech notes, mostly marketing notes, made me very interested; cherry, chocolate, espresso, toasty vanilla, and spice sound good. Let's hope they pull it off.The last tech notes available on the Love Noir website were for the 2016 vintage, not for the 2018 vintage, we are discussing here. But if the 2016 details remained the same, this is a dry wine, and often juicy wines slide into the off-dry sort of sweet category. The alcohol content is 13.5%.Love Noir Pinot Noir 2018 Tasting NotesThe color is a clear, see-thru garnet red with some black highlights. The nose is black cherry, vanilla, soft spice, light chocolate, and light herbs.This is a medium-plus bodied wine with bold flavors and a generally smooth character. It tastes ripe cherry, coffee, and chocolate (so here is truth in advertising), and vanilla. The mid-palate mirrors the wine's body but adds a sharp stab of orange zest, tart cranberry, and baking spice.The tannins are soft and sweet and the acidity does its job and otherwise stays out of the way.The SummaryThe Love Noir Pinot Noir 2018 Is not the wine I would choose if I wanted to enjoy a California Pinot Noir. But it is a wine I would consider if I wanted a smooth, tasty, rich Red wine. This is not a flavor challenged wine.This wine would do well as a Valentine's Day red wine. It has the word Love in the name, and the flavors would really pair well with a box of chocolates.
