What does it take to run the wine programme for eight restaurants inside one of Hong Kong's most storied hotel groups, and how do you earn a guest's trust for a US$600 pour of 1975 Petrus? We sat down inside Petrus itself, the flagship restaurant at Island Shangri-La Hong Kong, high above Pacific Place at the heart of the city's energy, to find out.We're joined by Cyrus Ho, hotel sommelier for the Shangri-La Group in Hong Kong, who oversees the wine programme across all eight of the group's restaurants, from Cantonese fine dining to Japanese, French and everything in between.Cyrus walks us through the week he spent doing nothing but refilling water glasses under his mentor's watch, the vintage mix-up that taught him never to skip showing a label, and the six-hour mountain drive into Yunnan that convinced him Chinese Chardonnay deserves serious attention.Expect back-vintage Petrus by the glass, a side career as a certified tea master, and a clear-eyed read on why the next generation isn't reaching for wine.

Ever wondered what it takes to turn Saint-Émilion's overlooked neighbours into a destination in their own right? This episode takes us to Château de Lussac, flagship estate of a Bordeaux group that's rebuilding itself château by château, and rethinking what a satellite appellation can be.We sit down with Anthony Appollot, general manager of Sarments Vignobles, a sixth-generation Saint-Émilion winemaker who spent years as an independent vineyard consultant before assembling the group's four estates in under a decade, to trace how it all came together and where he's taking it next.Anthony walks us through top-grafting Chenin Blanc onto decades-old Merlot vines, why he's pulling up a third of Lussac's vineyard to plant walnut trees and truffle oaks, and the disease-spotting drone he helped calibrate that kept the group's harvest intact during 2024's brutal mildew year.Expect an 80-year-old field blend planted after a killer frost, a secret Italian grape variety, and a very candid read on the Bordeaux crisis from someone who's still buying.

Laura Catena, Catena Zapata, ArgentineCancérigène, provocateur d'ivresse et d'alcoolisme, calorique. Voilà pêle-mêle quelques arguments avancés contre le vin. Certains expliquent même que le risque pour la santé apparaît dès le premier verre. Ces discours, nous les avons toutes et tous entendus. Et si une partie de la filière vin est vent de bout contre ces affirmations, je trouve que les contre-arguments ne sont pas toujours bien étayés. Voilà pourquoi j'ai décidé d'en discuter avec la vigneronne argentine Laura Catena. Une vigneronne qui défend le vin, c'est facile me direz-vous. Et vous n'auriez pas tort. Oui mais voilà, Laura Catena n'est pas n'importe quelle vigneronne. Avant tout, Laura est médecin. Le sujet des effets de l'alcool sur la santé, elle s'est penché dessus très sérieusement. En décortiquant des publications scientifiques et en regardant de près les études menées. Elle apporte donc des arguments nuancés et fondés au débat. Tout ce que j'aime.Retrouvez le plaidoyer de Laura Catena sur son site In Defense of WineRéalisation : Romain BeckerEnregistrement : Romain BeckerPost-production : Emmanuel NappeyMusique originale : Emmanuel DoréGraphismes : ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Léna Mazilu⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠On se retrouve très vite pour de nouvelles aventures viticoles.

Ever wondered what it actually takes to sell a single bottle for over a million pounds? This episode takes us inside Christie's, the auction house that has been selling wine since 1766, with someone who stands at the rostrum himself.We sit down with Tim Triptree MW, International Director of Wine & Spirits at Christie's, in Macau, where he's judging the Wynn Signature Chinese Wine Awards, to trace his path from investment banking to the world's oldest auction house, and to unpack exactly how a bottle goes from a private cellar to a world record hammer price.Tim walks us through his unlikely route into wine, what it takes to pass the notoriously brutal Master of Wine exam, how Christie's verifies that a bottle is genuinely what it claims to be, and why Chinese wines might be the next big thing to hit the secondary market.Expect a 1.2-million-pound bottle of whisky, a champagne dosage deep-dive, and a very honest take on why Bordeaux still dominates the room.

Pays d'Oc wine was created in response to a French wine crisis in the mid-20th century - fast forward half a century and another crisis is facing the world of wine. So can the innovative, forward-thinking, 'iconoclastic' spirit that's at the heart of the Pays d'Oc category help not only French wine but also the wider wine world?!That's what we're exploring in this second and concluding part of our Pays d'Oc mini-series, hearing from leading local producers like Maison Le Breton, Domaine Gayda, Ricardelle de Lautrec and Domaine de Sauzet. We're talking things like agroforestry, ancestral varieties, light-weighting, chillable reds, PIWIs, wine tourism, funky blends, lower alcohol wine - and the importance of fun.

Pour a glass and hold onto your tiara: this episode drops us straight into the gilded world of Rare Champagne, the vintage-only prestige cuvée born at the court of Versailles. We sit down with Maud Rabin, Managing Director of Rare Champagne, inside the house's headquarters in Reims (in the Salon Marie-Antoinette itself) to unravel a story that runs from a queen's love of pineapple in 1785 to a bottle dressed by Van Cleef & Arpels two centuries later.Maud trades ten years in fashion for the world of Champagne, tracks down the very family who relaunched the brand, and reveals why Rare Champagne only exists in vintage years, why it took four decades to make just four rosés, and why the tiara on every bottle is glued by hand, one dot at a time, by a team of eight women in Reims.Expect royal history, Chardonnay obsession, and a glass of Rare 1988 paired with Comte.

America's 250th birthday is here, and it's time to celebrate. From the American Revolution to the Civil War to the civil rights movement to today, the United States has always lived on the edge. But love of God and country has helped our nation endure for a quarter millennium. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we trace great moments in U.S. history that should make every American heart swell with pride.

We're on the road again. This time, diving into Pays d'Oc IGP - we're talking scenic southern France, and a little-known but intriguing origin story involving California, Algeria, violence, desperation, stubborn visionaries...and victory rescued from the jaws of defeat. Oh, and 'Liberté!'Helping us paint the picture are Jacques Gravegeal (an exclusive interview, rare for an English language show), Olivier Simonou and Gerard Bertrand. Fascinating people, all with a unique story to tell. From a standing start in 1987, Pays d'Oc IGP now sells around 21 bottles every second across 170+ countries. It's a stunning (and rare) vinous success story, and one that's transformed the fortunes not just of an entire region, but also a national treasure in the shape of French wine. In this programme, we get to grips with how it all came about, the challenges involved in making it happen, and the exciting recent developments for a category where innovation 'is in the DNA'.

India consumes more whiskey than Scotland produces. It is a nation of 1.4 billion people, of spirits and celebration, where wine accounts for barely one percent of the alcohol market. And yet, something is shifting. A growing middle class, an expanding cohort of women entering the workforce, and a wave of new free trade agreements with the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Australia have placed India at the threshold of becoming one of the world's most consequential wine markets. In this episode, we speak with Sonal C Holland, India's first and only Master of Wine, about the decade-long journey that took her from a Fortune 500 corporate career to the highest credential in the global wine trade. We explore India's wine scene, the structural barriers of duties and state-by-state distribution, and the quiet revolution underway among a new generation of consumers. Connect with Sonal C Holland, Master of Wine, on Instagram and discover more about her remarkable journey in her new book, One In a Billion: Becoming India's First Master of Wine.

Forget everything you think you know about California wine. Pour yourself a glass, settle in, and let Christopher Beros, Asia Director of the California Wine Institute, take you from the fog-cooled vineyards of Napa and Sonoma all the way to the booming wine bars of Southeast Asia. Recorded live at Vinexpo Hong Kong, this conversation crackles with the energy of a region that refuses to sit still.Christopher trades finance for wine, builds an import business in mainland China, then spends a decade championing California across Greater China and Southeast Asia. Along the way he unpacks the 154 AVAs that make up the most diverse wine state on earth, retells the Judgment of Paris with an insider's eye, and explains why California's "no rules" philosophy turns winemakers loose to experiment.Then we open the bottles. Four Chardonnays, all from Carneros, all wildly different. Tune in for a masterclass in why California is far more than big oaky whites, and why Asia's most curious drinkers are falling for it.▬▬

Send us Fan MailEpisode #14 is focused on the principle and importance of maintaining brand relevance. In my case, this episode takes you into a Sonoma-Cutrer board meeting back in 1988, at which I proposed what was thought to be a radical idea at the time: to take Chardonnay off the front of the label, à la Burgundy, France, and put the vineyard name in its place.I had only been VP of Sales & Marketing at Sonoma-Cutrer and on the senior management team for less than 90 days at the time. It was a bold move; however, it was increasingly apparent that, with the popularity of Chardonnay during the 80's among the wine-drinking public at large, we ran the risk of being lumped into the sea of average Chardonnay that was beginning to appear in the market at lower prices.Take a listenThanks for being a listener to the Fine Wine Confidential Podcast.

Domaine de la Petite Gallée, Millery, Coteaux du lyonnaisAlerte pépite ! Au printemps 2025, je me suis rendu dans la banlieue de Lyon. C'est là que se trouve le domaine de la Petite Gallée, en appellation Coteaux du lyonnais. Un domaine à la notoriété encore modeste mais qui devrait bientôt crever l'écran et ce pour plusieurs raisons. Pour commencer, les vins sont délicieux avec le gamay en fer de lance et un travail très intéressant sur l'aligoté et la syrah. Ensuite, on reste dans des tarifs accessibles avec des vins en-dessous de 20€. Enfin et surtout grâce à Pierre Thollet. Pierre est revenu au domaine il y a peu avec des diplômes, de riches expériences en France et à l'étranger, des idées claires et la tête sur les épaules. Soit des ingrédients indispensables pour mener un domaine très haut.

Fifty years on from the historic Paris tasting that revolutionised wine - what's changed? And what will that mean for the next 50 years?!Those are the searching questions we're asking (and attempting to answer) in this special episode to mark the 50th anniversary of the legendary Judgement of Paris tasting in 1976 where unknown Californian wines triumphed against the French greats in the centre of the wine universe at the time, the capital of France.We're re-telling the story behind that momentous event - partly to clear up some misconceptions that still persist, and partly because it's just a damn good story. (Proof of that being all the many articles and books on the subject - not to mention the Hollywood film, Bottle Shock, and now even an opera...)We're helped in this task by Chateau Montelena CEO Bo Barrett, who adds his eye-witness testimony, trademark good humour and intriguing insights to the tale.But this episode isn't just a re-hashing of events half a century ago. We're also exploring the modern realities and future trends of wine. If this kind of tasting happened today, who would win, and who would lose? How has the world (and wine world) changed since 1976? How does that go beyond the US and France? And what can that tell us about the future of wine?Helping us root our thoughts in informed reality are two ambitious tasting we were lucky enough to participate in: the Greatest Chardonnay Showdown at the London Wine Fair 2026, and the IWFS Judgement +50 (among a few others). The results of which...are intriguing.Thanks for tuning in. We love to hear from you so please do get in touch! Send us a voice message via Speakpipe.

Is Saint-Émilion already what it needs to be, or is its future still being written? For Valérie Befve, the answer is clear: Bordeaux must keep building, adapting, and rethinking itself to remain at the forefront of fine wine. As CEO of Château Dassault, the Grand Cru Classé owned by the Dassault family since 1955, she is actively shaping what the next chapter of the region will look like.Over the course of our conversation, Valérie traces her unusual path from running her own family winery to leading one of the largest estates in Saint-Émilion. We dig into the singular Saint-Émilion classification that makes every estate re-sit an exam every ten years, the gulf between north and south-facing terroirs, and how the region is adapting to a tougher market.From hospitality and wine tourism to grape-variety choices made for a warming climate, this is a clear-eyed case for why Bordeaux is anything but finished, and why its best value-for-money wines might be the smartest bottles to put in your cellar right now.▬▬

Is natural wine dead? Or is it thriving? What even IS natural wine these days?! Most importantly, what's next for this multi-faceted yet misunderstood category? Helping us answer these searching questions are writer and winemaker Rachel Signer, journalist Simon J Woolf and wine producer Ben Walgate. We also indulge in a bit of impassioned debate between the two of us - this being a particularly provocative topic. (It's not every episode that moves Peter to use the phrase, 'complete bollocks', and Susie to say, 'cheeky middle finger', but here we are.)For example, did you know that the very term 'natural wine' itself is an unfortunate mis-translation? Are you familiar with, 'organic-PLUS' viticulture? Why hybrids may be the next big thing for natural producers? That natural wine is a philosophy, not a style? How the natural scene has influenced conventional wine? And the fact there's a new category of 'natural-adjacent' wines emerging..?Click on this link and use the code WINEBLAST at checkout to get 25% off Rachel Signer's brand-new book, How to Drink Natural Wine.Click on this link to get 25% off an annual subscription to Simon Woolf's Substack, The Morning Claret.Thanks for tuning in.

Send us Fan MailEpisode #13 will take you into the room where Ken Starr was the guest speaker to a group of interested winery owners and personnel to discuss the next steps to take just 90 days after the landmark Supreme Court ruling in Granholm v Heald that opened up direct shipping of wine from the producer to the consumer in most of this country back in 2005.I was a participant at this luncheon, albeit reluctant at first, as I was six weeks into my recovery from a heart attack and a 5-level bypass surgery. But, I became active and found myself taking charge as the majority of the winery personnel in the room stayed on the sidelines when Ken Starr was explaining he believed that the Federal Trade Commission would be willing to go further to help knock down more of the anti-competitive barriers that wineries still faced as a vestige of the post-prohibition era.I stood up and started speaking when I should have stayed seated. But I couldn't let this opportunity to take on Franchise Laws pass us by. I ended up founding an organization I named Wine Free Trade Coalition, or W FTC if you will to establish a 501 (c6) non-profit organization to fund the effort. Take a listen.Thanks for being a listener to the Fine Wine Confidential Podcast.

In this powerful and deeply emotional episode of the Wiser With Wine Podcast, Rynae sits down with mindset coach, motivational speaker, and spiritual mentor Luke Mind Power for a raw conversation about healing trauma, toxic relationships, self worth, and finding the courage to become your authentic self. Luke opens up about childhood pain, heartbreak, emotional healing, spiritual awakening, and the journey of rebuilding his life from the ground up. Together, Luke and Rynae explore the impact of emotional suppression, anxiety, people pleasing, fear of judgment, and the importance of learning how to truly love and accept yourself.

Pour cet épisode en partenariat avec le label Demeter, je suis allé à la rencontre de Sébastien David. Grand défenseur des vins natures, ce vigneron ligérien est engagé politiquement depuis de nombreuses années dans la promotion de l'agriculture biologique aux niveaux régional, national et européen. Il faut dire que le sujet est de taille et que rien n'est acquis. A l'été 2025, la filière apprenait avec stupéfaction que l'ANSES interdisait l'utilisation de la majeure partie des produits de traitement à base de cuivre. Un coup de poignard quand on sait que le cuivre est le seul produit véritablement efficace contre le mildiou en agriculture biologique. Après une bataille politique et juridique intense, la Justice a suspendu la décision de l'ANSES et lui a demandé de réinstruire le dossier. La filière bio a donc gagné une bataille mais pas la guerre.Sébastien connaît très bien les arcanes des institutions nationales et européennes. J'ai donc tenté de comprendre avec lui pourquoi le bio souffre toujours d'un si faible appui politique. Point départ d'une discussion riche, au cours de laquelle nous avons démêlé une grosse pelote.Réalisation : Romain BeckerEnregistrement : Romain BeckerPost-production : Emmanuel NappeyMusique originale : Emmanuel DoréGraphismes : ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Léna Mazilu⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠On se retrouve très vite pour de nouvelles aventures viticoles.

Buckle up, we're heading back out into wine country, this time to the intriguing Adelaide Hills wine region in South Australia. It gets talked about a lot - but what's it really all about?Is it all about piercing, textural Chardonnay? Or fine sparkling wine? What about the perfumed Pinot Noir, the scented Shiraz..? And let's not forget the likes of Gruner Veltliner, Nebbiolo, Gamay, Barbera, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and all those natural wines. There's a real buzz around the Adelaide Hills - but how to get our heads round it all?!Happily, we have some brilliant guides in the shape of Brian Croser (Tapanappa), David LeMire MW (Shaw + Smith), Emma Wood (Wirra Wirra), Kelly Wellington (Hahndorf Hill), Liam Van Pelt (Ashton Hills), Peter Saturno (Longview) and Xavier Bizot (Daosa/Tapanappa). (Thanks also to the Adelaide Hills Wine Region for making this sponsored episode happen and giving us access to such great producers.) They talk us through things like altitude, rain, field blends, magic, wine tourism, French arrogance, organics and 'thoughtful' wines. There's even the odd bold claim (about Chardonnay) and intriguing revelation of a long-held secret (a 'subterfuge story' no less!) Oh, and we touch on why, 'people don't want to drink like their dads.'Thanks for tuning in. We love to hear from you so please do get in touch! Send us a voice message via Speakpipe.

Aller hop, je vous embarque en Champagne. Parce qu'après tout, c'est une des régions viticoles les plus dynamiques à l'heure actuelle. Les projets pullulent, les cerveaux bouillonnent et les pratiques changent. Tout ça se retrouve dans nos verres pour nous offrir des émotions à la pelle. Et si la presse et les prescripteurs se sont beaucoup fait l'écho de la mise en avant des terroirs champenois, il y a également beaucoup à dire sur ce qui se passe en cave.En juin 2025, dans le cadre du salon Vinhop à Paris, j'ai eu la chance de parler d'effervescence avec 3 vignerons et une vigneronne : Delphine Brulez de la maison Louise Brison, Antoine Paillard de chez Pierre Paillard, Aurélien Laherte et Fabrice Pouillon. Tous ensemble et en publique, nous avons essayé de percer les mystères d'une belle bulle et vous verrez que ces quatre là ne s'endorment pas sur leurs lauriers.Réalisation : Romain BeckerEnregistrement : Romain BeckerPost-production : Emmanuel NappeyMusique originale : Emmanuel DoréGraphismes : ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Léna Mazilu⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠On se retrouve très vite pour de nouvelles aventures viticoles.

Grab your magnifying glass and white coat, we're getting microscopic - but this goes well beyond fermentation. We're exploring the cutting-edge techniques whereby the power of yeasts is being harnessed in fields as diverse as viticulture, winemaking and shipping. Even without the microscope, this is an eye-opening episode...Wine is facing many challenges. Climate change. The cost of living crisis. Sustainability targets. Shifting consumer tastes and trends. But what if microbes can provide solutions to these issues and more, reducing the need for chemical inputs and putting winemakers for once on the front foot?This episode is sponsored by Lallemand Oenology, who have granted us privileged access to their latest research and contacts in the field. We hear from wine consultant Christopher Chen, yeast expert Professor Hervé Alexandre, and M&S winemaker Belinda Kleinig, who report on their applied experience testing these new products. From helping vines survive drought to prevention of rot, reducing the need for sulfites and acidification, even ensuring your wine can arrive fresh after crossing continents - innovative microbial solutions are being applied to all these pressing tasks and more. The term, 'game-changer' is used in this episode. Tune in to find out why...Thanks for tuning in. We love to hear from you so please do get in touch! Send us a voice message via Speakpipe.

Send us Fan MailEpisode #12 takes you through the event that led up to what became a fitting tribute to Bill Bonetti and his retirement from winemaking, not just at Sonoma-Cutrer, where he was from the beginning back in 1981, but from his illustrious 42 years of winegrowing.I had always looked at Bill as the Leonardo da Vinci of the wine business. He was always tinkering, trying to find another way to perfect the process of winegrowing from the vineyard to the bottle. From the day I met Bill back in 1988 during the interview process for the position of VP of Sales & Marketing at Sonoma-Cutrer, I felt I could learn something more from him that would increase my appreciation for the process of winegrowing, and I can say I did.This episode will highlight how I turned a low-key Beer & Chips celebration on a Friday afternoon at the winery into a full-blown promotional event with the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Group and the properties where they had recruited and put in charge of their Dining Rooms Michelin Star chefs from Europe back in 1991 and 1992.Take a listen or read the transcript below.Thanks for being a listener to the Fine Wine Confidential Podcast.

Sauvignon Blanc is one of the wine world's most divisive grape varieties. On the one hand, it's hugely popular for its aromatic charm and upbeat appeal. And yet some people can't stand it, sommeliers actively steer their customers away from it and connoisseurs turn their noses up at, 'the gin and tonic of wine'. But is it possible that this is all just a bit, well, premature? That we're judging a grape variety that is only just starting to show us what its true potential really is? And that Sauvignon Blanc really is a grape variety capable of greatness?!To check the global temperature, we're privileged to be granted an audience with Château Margaux's Philippe Bascaules, South Africa's Duncan Savage, and UK Best Sommelier Maria Boumpa. What they have to say will raise more than a few eyebrows. (Including an unexpected scoop about top South African producer Eben Sadie...)We firmly believe it's time to rip up the established rule book when it comes to Sauvignon Blanc, and open our minds to a new reality.

What does it take to bridge two wine worlds?  Lenz Moser has made 75 trips to China over 21 years, transforming from curious visitor to pioneering winemaker at Chateau Changyu Moser XV in Ningxia. As the fifth generation of Austria's legendary Lenz Moser wine family, whose grandfather invented the revolutionary trellising system used across Europe. In this episode, we discuss how Lenz brought his vision and winemaking wisdom to China's emerging wine frontier. After managing Austria's pre-eminent winery and serving as General Manager for Robert Mondavi in Europe, he turned his attention east in 2005. In this episode, Lenz shares his journey from that first overwhelming moment in Beijing Airport to becoming the winemaker Chateau Changyu Moser XV in Ningxia. We discuss how he spent 10 years building trust before Changyu appointed him head winemaker, and why understanding China's contradictions: patience versus speed, became essential to his success. He reveals the secret behind Ningxia's world-class wines: the smallest Cabernet Sauvignon berries on earth, grown in a desert terroir that went from unknown to World Atlas of Wine recognition in just over a decade.   Since 2016, Bottled in China brings you into the food and drink scene through conversations with the some of the most happening personalities.

SUBSCRIBER BONUS TASTER - A privileged tasting of 100-point wines gets us thinking about scores, so-called perfection in wine, the risks of premature evaluation and how points for wine...somehow miss the point.First up - the wines: Cristal 2008, Pichon Lalande 2016, Ornellaia 2013, Diamond Creek Volcanic Hill 2013 and Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial Blanco 1986. We report on these and other stellar bottles, all of them recipients of a 'perfect' 100-point score.But here's the thing. What does '100 points' mean these days? How valid are scores, which seem to be everywhere in wine as endless tasting notes and numbers are churned out on a seemingly constant basis? What are the pros and cons? Is it time for a reset, starting with the 100-point system itself?!In this discursive episode, we subject not only these supposedly spectacular wines but also scores (and ourselves) to unflinching assessment. Peter gets hot under the collar about Bordeaux En Primeur; Susie has to intervene. We weigh up scores in a public and personal context. But, lest you fear this is all a bit po-faced, we also touch on the magic of discovery, not entirely serious ‘anti-scoring' wine rating scales and the importance of wines that make you smile...as indeed some of these bottles definitely did.NB: This is a short taster of the full episode, which is available exclusively for Wine Blast PLUS subscribers.
