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. Alors en route pour Millery à la découverte de la Petite Gallée et des coteaux du lyonnais.Réalisation : Romain BeckerEnregistrement : Romain BeckerPost-production : Emmanuel NappeyMusique originale : Emmanuel DoréGraphismes : ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Léna Mazilu⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠On se retrouve très vite pour de nouvelles aventures viticoles.

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.

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.

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..?

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.

Christophe Landry, Château des Graviers et Clos Dufourg, Margaux, BordeauxDepuis 2019, j'ai appris énormément de choses avec Le Bon Grain de l'Ivresse. Parmi elles, il y a, je pense, une certaine vérité du terrain. La théorie c'est bien mais ça doit être complété par du terrain. Sentir, écouter, admirer, toucher et goûter, ça n'a pas de prix. J'ai donc appris à faire confiance à ceux qui le ratissent ce terrain. Et parmi eux, il y a Jérôme Gagnez. Au printemps 2025, je l'ai appelé pour profiter de sa connaissance du bordelais qu'il arpente sans relâche depuis son installation dans la région. Il m'a cité plusieurs noms, accompagnés d'arguments solides, puis le ton de sa voix a changé en prononçant le nom de Christophe Landry. L'enthousiasme qu'il a mis à ce moment-là m'a instantanément convaincu. Et j'ai bien fait de l'écouter car j'ai découvert à Arsac un vigneron pointu, profondément gentil, avec un petit grain de folie et surtout des vins qui ont une âme. Je vous embarque donc aujourd'hui sur la Rive Gauche à la rencontre d'un homme dont la qualité des vins est inversement proportionnelle à sa notoriété.Réalisation : Romain BeckerEnregistrement : Romain BeckerPost-production : Emmanuel NappeyMusique originale : Emmanuel DoréGraphismes : ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Léna Mazilu⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠On se retrouve très vite pour de nouvelles aventures viticoles.

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.

August 2025, a torrid Bordeaux summer: cue thunderbolt. Lafleur, one of Bordeaux's most acclaimed wines, sensationally quits the Pomerol and Bordeaux appellations. At the heart of the issue: water.Truth is, vines need water to survive and produce good wine. Not too much, nor too little. But climate change has thrown a giant spanner into the works - places that used to have just enough rain, now often aren't getting enough. And it's a particular issue in more traditional areas, like Bordeaux, where local appellation rules often forbid irrigation (or other things like mulching, reducing vine density or changing vine varieties). Hence Lafleur's decision.In this extended episode, we hear the full rationale from Lafleur as they release their 2025 wines, which benefitted from their unique 'soil water correction' technique. With Omri Ram we discuss the reality of climate change, why Lafleur is, 'changing to remain the same', how exactly they're irrigating, the key issue of where the water is coming from, and the future of appellations. The implications are manifold.We also hear from Olivier Tregoat of Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite, and share input from Cornelis Van Leeuwen - both acknowledged soil and water experts, and respected Bordeaux insiders. Finally, we get a different perspective from viticulturist Jaco Engelbrecht in South Africa, where severe drought recently saw Cape Town facing 'Day Zero' (when the water would run out). Jaco works with a stellar client list across both dry-farmed and irrigated vineyards, and shares his expert insights and recommendations.So what is the future of wine when it comes to water? Are we looking at wine Armageddon, with great Bordeaux a thing of the past? Or can human ingenuity and the vine's famous resilience save the day?Thanks for tuning in.

Meet John Baker, Sydney wine merchant turned Indiana Jones turned author of Stalin's Wine Cellar, one of the most eye-opening wine stories you're likely to hear. In the first part of this real-life account, John recounted how he'd got a tip-off about a mysterious wine cellar in Tbilisi, Georgia, apparently chock full of the greatest wines in the world, some more than a hundred years old. What's more, the cellar came with an astonishing story of provenance and ownership...It was, in short, a wine lover's fever dream. So of course John decided to investigate, soon finding himself in the wild west of wine: a world of cash and guns and enforcers and high-speed races through the streets of Tbilisi. Not to mention heart-rending breakages, the odd death threat - and unicorn wines aplenty.In this second and concluding part of this narrative two-parter, John grapples with Georgian agendas and threats while attempting to investigate the authenticity of the wines, including a trip to Chateau d'Yquem that is memorable for all the wrong reasons. As well as adding extra detail, context and humour, John adds a final piece of exciting news by way of conclusion.Thanks for tuning in. We love to hear from you so please do get in touch!

In this special episode of Tall Boy Radio, host Beans dives deep into the enigmatic, often polarizing, and endlessly fascinating world of Steven Patrick Morrissey. To help navigate this complex cultural landscape, Beans is joined by George and Chris, the seasoned voices behind the Morrissey and Wine podcast.The conversation is more than just a standard track-by-track breakdown; it's an exploration of the unique gravity Morrissey exerts on his audience.The trio spends a significant portion of the episode dissecting the "why" behind the "who." They explore the deep-rooted connection that fans feel toward the former Smiths frontman—a bond that often transcends music and borders on the spiritual.Key themes include:The Voice of the Outsider: How Morrissey's lyrics provided a sanctuary for the "misfits" of the 80s and continues to resonate with those who feel out of step with the modern world.The Nature of Devotion: A look at why Morrissey fans are among the most loyal (and protective) in the music industry.The Complexity of the Idol: Navigating the difficult waters of being a fan in the 21st century, balancing the artistry against the headlines.Recorded on the cusp of a new era, the episode captures the electric anticipation surrounding the upcoming album, Make-up is a Lie. Since the record had yet to drop at the time of recording, George, Chris, and Beans engage in some educated speculation and shared excitement.They discuss:What the title suggests about Morrissey's current headspace.Expectations for the sonic direction—will it be a return to jangly roots or a continuation of his grand, orchestral solo style?The significance of a new release in maintaining the momentum of his storied career.Whether you're a die-hard fan who has every B-side on vinyl or someone who is simply curious about the "Cult of Moz," this crossover event offers a balanced, witty, and insightful look at an artist who refuses to be ignored. With George and Chris providing their expert "wine-fueled" perspective and Beans steering the ship, it's a masterclass in music fandom.Listen to the Morrissey and Wine podcast on SpotifyMorrissey and Wine | Podcast on Spotifytallboyradio.com

It's not every wine story that comes with lashings of guns and cash and enforcers and heart-rending breakages - plus the odd death threat. Not to mention unicorn wines aplenty. But this one does! Which is why it's a must-listen.John Baker was a Sydney wine merchant with a sideline in fine and rare wine when opportunity came knocking in the form of a mysterious wine cellar in Tbilisi, Georgia, apparently chock full of the greatest wines in the world, some more than a hundred years old. It was, in his words, 'a potential wine goldmine.' And that was even before you took into account the eye-opening story about where the wine had come from...What happens next is the subject of his best-selling book, Stalin's Wine Cellar. It's a fantastic story, full of intrigue and mystery and surprise and suspense. Not to mention the odd bit of nudity. John tells us the story in his own words, adding extra detail, context and humour, plus some exciting latest news.This is a narrative two-parter - the second and concluding part is available for Wine Blast PLUS subscribers now.

Episode #11 details the testimony I gave at a joint hearing of the California State Senate & Assembly on the Direct Shipping of wine to consumers in November of 1997, when I was President & CEO of Henry Wine Group in California.Henry Wine Group was the only Wholesale Distributor of wine in the country at the time and to this day still, which spoke out and backed the right of the wine producers to ship directly throughout the country to  the consumer without going through the 3-tier system. I was also a member of the Board of the Coalition for Free Trade (CFT) and later served as Vice-Chair from 1999 to 2001. CFT is the advocacy group that would successfully have a lawsuit go all the way up to the Supreme Court. In May of 2005, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the entity that we backed in this action. A significant event that changed the world of wine shipment, albeit with limitations that are still being fought today. It was amusing to me in retrospect to be pitted against Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America, i.e., WSWA, in this battle. I believe you will enjoy this escapade.

SUBSCRIBER-ONLY BONUS CONTENT (short taster) - Sam Neill leads a double life. He's not Batman, or Bananaman. He's ConvivialWineChap (trademark pending). On the one hand, he's world-famous actor Sam Neill, acclaimed for his starring roles in Jurassic Park, Peaky Blinders, The Piano and all that jazz. On the other, he's proud proprietor of Two Paddocks Wine in Central Otago, New Zealand.And this isn't just wine cosplay, either. Sam lives and breathes wine, describing himself as a Pinot Noir 'obsessive'. What's more, his wines are some of the best in New Zealand - with four of his Pinot Noirs rating between 95 and 98 points in our New Zealand Wines of the Year 2026, and his Two Paddocks Pinot Noir 2023 carrying off the prestigious Red Wine of the Year award.

Now in full remission, he's back into his double life, filming and farming, and eager to share a laugh and his unique take on wine and life in general.In this frank, fascinating and funny chat, we talk everything from Pinot to Riesling, pigs to ducklings, Jesus to Jenna Ortega, organics to 'vile' chemicals, history to heartbreak, Marlon Brando to Michael Fassbender.
