Welcome to episode 867, the last in our new 7-part series with our fantastic partners, LUX Wines and Maze Row Wine Merchant. We are proud to present this series of interviews, diving deep into the heritage and legacy of their excellent Italian producers, celebrating the launch of the new brand identity for their importer, Maze Row Wine Merchant. This episode has John Irwin interviewing Bernardino Sani of the Argiano Winery. More about Argiano Winery: Argiano represents five centuries of excellence in Montalcino. CEO and winemaker Bernardino Sani is rooted in this territory and he worked his first internship in the Argiano cellar, after receiving his viticulture and winemaking degree in 2002. Today his passion also encompasses the need for sustainable winemaking. With an unwavering respect for nature and tradition, Argiano produces highly acclaimed wines that speak eloquently of their terroir. With 120 hectares at over 300 meters above sea level, the nearby sea breezes gently cool the aptly named historic Villa Bell'Aria. In 1967 Argiano made history with the Brunello of Montalcino, playing a key role as a founding organization in the birth of the Consortium, and later created the famous Solegno, Montepulciano's “Super Tuscan.” Argiano was the first company in Montalcino to become plastic-free, in 2019. All single-use plastics have been eliminated. The idea was inspired by desire to maintain the 4 Rs for the environment: Reduce, Recuperate, Recycle and Reuse. Under Sani's care, Argiano practices organic and sustainable agriculture. Natural insecticides are banned and biodiversity is nurtured. In the cellar, Bernardino has eliminated the use of barriques for the aging of Sangiovese in an effort to more clearly represent the terroir of Argiano. All these decisions: organics, holistic viticultural adjustments, and changes to less invasive winemaking philosophy means that Argiano is currently making the best wines of their storied history. Sani says, “We believe that the vine should not be designed to our liking but should be studied, understood, interpreted, and respected; we believe that it shouldn't be manipulated, but allowed to express itself, to define a place, a climate, a harvest. This is what Good Agriculture means to us. I have always loved the beauty of the countryside, the vineyards, the history, and the amazing wines produced here. For someone like me who is born in Tuscany, Argiano offers all the things we embrace.” To learn more about Argiano visit: https://www.argiano.net/en/ To learn more about Maze Row and the rich heritage of their Portfolio, visit: www.mazerow.com To learn more about Maze Row Wine Merchant, visit: https://www.mazerow.com https://www.instagram.com/mazerowwines/ https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=maze%20row%20wines%20merchant More about the host: John Irwin has been working in wine for fifteen years, starting as a grocery store merchandiser in Chicago in 2007, and then working his way through several different roles within the wholesaler side of the business, including sales team management and regional chain sales. In 2013, he joined the E&J Gallo Winery, working first in Central Illinois and then moving to Minnesota in 2015 to oversee the winery's bar and restaurant business across the state. In 2017, John moved to New York City - where he currently resides - to work in Gallo's Luxury Imports Division (a precursor to Maze Row Wine Merchants) where he oversaw the business in 12 states, called on national clients, and managed winemaker visits & events.

This episode has John Irwin interviewing Pietro Ratti of Cantina Ratti. Fresh from oenological school in Alba, Pietro was just 20 years old when his father, Renato Ratti, passed away suddenly, leaving him to take over the winery. Over the course of 30+ vintages, Pietro has not only proven himself an exemplary vintner, but an incredible ambassador for the region, and more specifically the commune of La Morra. Pietro served two terms as the President of the Consorzio di Tutela Barolo Barbaresco Alba Langhe e Dogliani. It was during one of his terms in 2010 when he oversaw the completion of the official map of Barolo's MGAs, formally cementing the legendary map his father began drawing in 1965. One of Pietro's most significant achievements was building a new cantina atop a small hill in Annunziata, a short distance from the original cellars used by his father. Opened in time for the 2007 harvest, the stunning facility combines winemaking and cellar, along with a spectacular tasting facility; large windows afford guests breathtaking views of La Morra. It's there where you'll find Pietro in his natural element as a tireless host and a raconteur of the highest order.

When Bill Curtis opened TASTINGS Restaurant, Wine Bar, & Wine Shop in 1990 it was the first of its kind on the East Coast to combine all these elements under one roof. Bill has been involved in the Virginia wine and food scene for close to 40 years and has a tremendous Passion still, for the wine world. He is exceptional in his breadth of knowledge and is especially sharp when it comes to wines from Burgundy, France.Bill is an example of a "fine wine merchant" in the true sense of that descriptor. He will learn your palate, what your price threshold is and recommend wine that will always please your palate and keep you within your budget. In my opinion this type of Wine Merchant is harder and harder to find in today's environment of on-line and flash sales. This interview brought another perspective and look back and forward to winegrowing in Virginia.HIGHLIGHTS:a). Bill shares how he hosted several of the early Monticello Cup tastings in the 1980's.b). He explains how he learn to be a chef, (in the kitchen no formal training) and his style and approach to cooking.c). Shares some great stories about the early pioneers in Virginia winegrowing and offers the opinion that Piedmont Vineyards, no longer in operation, produced the best Chardonnay in Virginia at the time and would still stand the test of time against those being produced today.d). Bill shares how he started by buying two bottles of German Wine in 1972 at a Safeway in Va. one of the bottles was Blue Nun and the other was Spatlese from Prince Rupert Urban and the Blue Nun was 10 cents more expensive. It opened his eyes to wine though.e). In 1976 he opens Court Square Tavern and in 1977 he turns it into one of the first specialy beer joints in Charlottesville because that is what sold.There is much, much more of these stories.

Sally Stewart knows wine. It's the focus of her career, and her great passion. As a sommelier, she's worked in great restaurants in places like Portland, Oregon, Telluride, Colorado, and New York City. Her career was in a great place – she had a resumé that included restaurants at a world-famous ski resort, a restaurant with a Michelin star, and even one founded by food legend Wolfgang Puck. That all changed when, at the age of 31, she was diagnosed with ALS. However, Sally found a way to adapt – and, even when she couldn't work in restaurants anymore because of her progression, to stay involved with her passion. Today, she's the co-owner of the Denver Wine Merchant, a store in Colorado that sells fine wines, beers, and liquor, hand-picked by Sally and her Co-owner/partner Stephen. This year, they also had a particularly special product on the shelves – an ALES for ALS beer from Nederland, Colorado's Knotted Root brewing company, whose help sales support the critical research at ALS TDI. Today, Sally joins us on Endpoints to talk about her story, making an ALS-inspired career pivot, and how she's working to support others dealing with the disease.

The world of wine can be intimidating. The vernacular is filled with tongue-twisting terms. You need a great memory to keep track of regions, varietals and vintages (what are those things anyhow?). And all of those elements can make an education in wine feel like a truly uphill battle.But, it doesn't need to be that way. Just as Rob Levin, a seasoned restaurant veteran and co-owner of 2A Wine Merchants, a wine shop that knits together the elements of passion, curiosity and hospitality, all with a liberal dose of levity.
