Send us Fan MailJoining me on today's episode of the English Wine Diaries is Sergio Verrillo co-founder and winemaker at Blackbook urban winery in Battersea. Sergio moved from Connecticut to London in the noughties and initially built his career in music before moving into Michelin-starred restaurants including Maze, Tamarind and Chez Bruce. He later studied viticulture and oenology at Plumpton College, graduating in 2014, before gaining winemaking experience in South Africa, California, New Zealand and Burgundy.Together with his wife, Lynsey, he established Blackbook Winery In 2017 with an emphasis on quality, single-vineyard, grower-led wines sourced from vineyards within two hours of the winery. The brand, they say, was born from a love of three things: cool climate pinot noir & chardonnay; the English wine industry; and London.Blackbook's wines, which are made using wild fermentation, used Burgundy barrels and minimal sulphur, have gained much industry recognition, including most recently WineGB Best overall still wine for its Pygmalion Chardonnay 2023. We talk about what it was like for Sergio growing up as a 'third culture kid' in America, the importance of hospitality and tourism in helping the UK wine industry be a successful one and why he was never going to make wine in the countryside. Find out more about Blackbook at blackbookwinery.com or by following on Instagram @blackbookwinery. Thanks for listening to The English Wine Diaries.

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, we are heading to the heart of Paso Robles to dive into the incredible evolution of Sculpterra Winery. Long before they were crafting estate wines and filling a breathtaking sculpture garden with monumental works of art, the Frankel family started out simply tending the land and selling their grapes to other regional producers. To talk about what it's truly like to grow up among those vines, watch a family business transform from the ground up, and take the helm as winemaker, I sat down with winemaker and vineyard manager Paul Frankel. Pull up a chair, pour yourself a glass, and let's explore the story behind Sculpterra.  Please take a moment of your time to subscribe, rate and review Exploring the Wine Glass.

Four Ponds Estate Winery — A New Legacy Rooted in Family What if the place you are searching for all your life suddenly feels familiar the very first time you stand on its soil? In this episode of Wine Soundtrack USA, host Allison Levine meets Steve Leveque, winemaking consultant and the winemaker behind Four Ponds Estate Winery, to discover the extraordinary story of Suzi Raposa and a vineyard built around family, friendship, nature, and a powerful connection to the land. Suzi never imagined she would own a winery. Arriving in California as a young refugee from Laos with her family, she eventually built a career as a physical therapist. Years later, with her children leaving home, she began asking herself a different question: Where do I want to spend the rest of my life? Then she discovered an 80-acre estate in the Sierra Foothills, with 24 acres of vineyards and four ponds quietly giving life to the land. Something about it felt strangely familiar. The vineyards reminded Suzi of her childhood in Laos, watching her grandfather farm rice with a water buffalo—the smell of the earth, the silence, and the simple rhythm of working the land. Inspired by the cultural importance of water in Lao tradition, Four Ponds Estate Winery became more than a winery. It became Suzi's second act—and the beginning of a new legacy built around bringing people together. And helping shape that vision is Steve Leveque, a Napa Valley native whose remarkable career includes Robert Mondavi Winery, Chalk Hill Estate, HALL and Opus One, as well as years of consulting with Sierra Foothills producers. Steve brings decades of winemaking and viticulture experience to Four Ponds, while also continuing his work through Steve Leveque Wine Consulting, helping other wineries pursue distinctive, high-quality wines. Join Allison Levine for a conversation about starting over, following instinct, honoring your roots, and discovering that sometimes the most beautiful wine stories begin long before the first grape is harvested. Wine Soundtrack USA goes beyond the bottle to tell the stories of the people, places, and dreams behind American wine. Produced by Claudio Latagliata, the series brings together the voices that make the American wine world so fascinating. Listen to Four Ponds Estate Winery with Steve Leveque—and discover the story of a vineyard where heritage, friendship, and the land come together.

Jillian Johnson DeLeon - Laffort In this episode, Jim sits down with Jillian Johnson DeLeon of Laffort to dig into the practical mechanics of yeast nutrition, starting with the difference between organic (amino-acid based) and inorganic (DAP) nitrogen sources. They walk through how to calculate the Nitrogren needs for a successfule fermentation across a two-addition strategy, timing the first dose within 24 hours of pitch (or at first signs of cap formation for native ferments) to support the yeast's growth phase, and the second closer to mid-fermentation to carry them through to dryness without triggering Hydrogen sulfide production. The conversation covers dosing heuristics like the one-third organic to two-thirds DAP ratio for that second addition, how nitrogen demand varies by yeast strain and biomass production, fermentation temperature's effect on ester versus thiol expression, the risks of both under- and over-dosing nutrients, and the case for early co-inoculation with malolactic bacteria to avoid stuck ferments and reduce spoilage risk. Jillian also shares her own field-tested Brix-to-potential-alcohol conversion figures and closes with an overview of Laffort's broader product lines, from oak alternatives to vineyard applications.

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.  In this episode, we are packing our bags for Northern California's wine country—starting in the charming, upscale town of Healdsburg, where three legendary valleys converge. But let's be real: we aren't here for the small-town agricultural heritage. We are here to dodge pool-running children and boogers at the Francis Ford Coppola Winery, brave the velvet ropes at Kosta Browne where a single refill might require a second mortgage, and listen to a Napa tour guide pitch a bombing run on the Mayor of New York over at Pine Ridge Vineyards.

Send us Fan MailEpisode #17 shares with you, the listener, the events of the night I resigned as Vice President of Sales after over 4 years at William Hill Winery. After the '21 Club Event in May 1987, it became clear that it was time for me to move on from William Hill Winery. In the Immortal words of Kenny Rogers, you have to know when to hold 'em, and when to fold 'em. For me it was time to fold them. The question then became: when? Well, it happened on the afternoon of April 12th, 1988, just before a Black-tie dinner William Hill Winery was hosting at Jasper's Restaurant in Boston. We had bought the restaurant for the evening and had reunited Lydia Shire and Jasper White to collaborate on a dinner once again after several years of them departing the Bostonian Hotel, where they had worked together.  That afternoon, in a streak of dashing bravery with no new career position on the horizon, I resigned just several hours before the dinner. Needless to say, Bill was a bit stunned. But we had a terrific dinner, and he was on top of his game as he dazzled and charmed the trade and press we had invited to share in a retrospective tasting of the most recent 5 vintages of William Hill Gold Label Cabernet Sauvignon. Take a listen and let me know what you think.Thanks for being a listener to the Fine Wine Confidential Podcast.

Episode Summary Who is Susie Selby, and what does it take to build an independent winery in Sonoma County? In this episode of the Wine Road Podcast, Katie Ambrosi sits down with Susie Selby, owner, winemaker, and sole proprietor of Selby Winery in downtown Healdsburg, California, for a wide-ranging conversation about winemaking, harvest in Sonoma County, the evolution of Healdsburg, and more than 25 years of making wine under the Selby label. Susie shares the story of founding Selby Winery with her father in the late 1990s and continuing the winery after his unexpected death just a few years later. She talks about her winemaking philosophy, her love of classic, Burgundian-style Chardonnay, and why she has always focused on making wines people can actually afford to open and enjoy. The conversation also uncovers some remarkable chapters in Selby's history. Susie recalls being selected to make Chardonnay for Robert Redford's Sundance program, discovering that "Bob" was actually Robert Redford, and accidentally mistaking Glenn Close for Meryl Streep. She also explains how Selby wines found their way into the White House during three presidential administrations, including becoming a favorite of Laura Bush and having Selby Sauvignon Blanc served as a house white during the Obama administration. Katie and Susie also explore the lighter side of Sonoma County wine country: the story behind the cult-favorite Bobcat Zinfandel, Susie's new Naughty Nancy white port, favorite old and new Healdsburg restaurants, affordable ways to experience Wine Country, and Susie's other passion—playing drums in a local band. It's a conversation about Sonoma County wine, women in winemaking, Healdsburg history, hospitality, family, resilience, and the relationships that make Northern Sonoma County wine country special.

Jennifer Williams joins Jim to talk about her work as a contract winemaker, leading Arrow & Branch and co-owning Zeitgeist Cellars with her husband, Mark Porembsky. They dig into the design and philosophy of the new Arrow & Branch custom crush facility in Oak Knoll—its flexible tank mix, "white glove" service model, and how it's built to handle challenging vintages and a range of client brands. Jennifer explains the stylistic goals and vineyard sourcing for Zeitgeist, including heritage whites like Chenin Blanc and Trousseau Gris, and a Cabernet Franc program that uses barrel fermentation and moderate maceration to shape tannins. Along the way they get into pick-date decisions and herbaceous character in Cabernet Franc, managing slow malolactic fermentations, the realities of custom crush pricing and client expectations, and how small Napa brands are navigating a tougher wine market through relationships, thoughtful growth, and authentic visitor experiences.

Today we're talking with the master distiller of one of the most prominent American whiskey producers of the past two decades, High West Whiskey. High West built much of its reputation through blending, which has long been a tradition in Scotch whisky but has often been treated with suspicion by American whiskey drinkers. In this episode, master distiller, Isaac Winter, joins us to investigate why blending has been so misunderstood.We Want to Hear from You!Have a topic, craft category, or craft company you'd like to see us cover?

Tariffs, inflation, difficulty in finding buyers for grapes. It's all been a challenge for local winemakers on the Central Coast. Many wineries are now looking at alternative business models to try to satisfy a fragmented consumer base. Reporter: Mira Honeycutt Much of California is preparing for more hot weather this weekend. Temperatures could reach triple digits for many inland areas. And that means people near the coast will likely be looking for a way to cool off, at local beaches. But the combination of heat waves and rough water conditions is resulting in lifeguards across the state becoming that much more important.

In this solo episode of Inside Winemaking, Jim tackles one of the questions he gets most often: how to manage empty barrels. Working through the full lifecycle of a barrel, Jim covers receiving and inspecting new barrels on arrival, keeping them hydrated before harvest (his go-to: shrink-wrap them tight and lock the moisture in), and recovering barrels that have dried out. He walks through swelling and leak-testing before filling, the realities of finding and repairing leaks with spiles, and smart practices for stacking, filling, and leaving proper ullage for young wines still off-gassing CO2. From there, Jim gets into cleaning and sanitizing — why an immediate rinse matters, where he lands on tartrates, and his candid take on the trade-offs between burning sulfur, SO2 gas, ozone, and steam. He closes with short-, medium-, and long-term storage strategies, how often to recharge sulfur based on cellar conditions, and how to tell when a barrel is truly done. Practical, opinionated, and grounded in real cellar experience, this episode is a field guide for anyone trying to keep their empty barrels healthy between fills.   This podcast is sponsored by InnoVint.

Alexander Hamilton vs Aaron Burr! Delmonico's vs Sherry's! John Adams vs everybody! Some of history's most fascinating stories involve important figures who did not like each other very much. In this edition of Bowery Boys History Live!, recorded at Manhattan's City Winery on May 26, 2026, Greg Young from the Bowery Boys brings some of these stories to a live audience, featuring author Laurie Gwen Shapiro, tour guide Billy Nemec, and the Gilded Gentleman himself, Carl Raymond. Featuring tales of Revolutionary War spite, obscene Gilded Age banquets, and Jazz Age flights of spite. PLUS: New York City's longest-running rival.
