Sip, share, shape our podcast!Do you think bottles are the only way to package wine? We're here to change the way you think about alternative packaging for wine!In the world of wine trends, packaging for wine may not be the sexiest, but we think there are some pretty cool things going on! We're not talking about ordinary wine storage boxes or wine shippers, we're talking about alternate packaging solutions for bringing wine directly to you, your table, and your glass.Wine boxes have been around for years. There's nothing really new about the concept, but there's more to the wine pouch in a box than meets the eye. Gone are the days of cheap party wine in a box, and hello are the days of some really great wine right on your wine shop's shelf. In this episode, we take Alileo's Grillo and Syrah to task. Gold stars all around! I'd take this for a party gift any day!As for the box concept, cardboard is lighter for packaging wine than glass wine bottles, Shipping boxes filled with wine pouch bags can fill every gap in a wine shipping container. Bottles, however, result in shipping a ton of empty space even using lightweight pulp wine shippers or other environmentally friendly wine packaging. Moving beyond wine in a box, let's talk wine in a can. Not beer, but wine! More and more winemakers are taking their custom blends and prized wines and shifting away from bottles to cans. Nomadica wines are taking custom packaging to new heights. With canned wines, 3-liter boxed wines, and more, this trend-forward brand is changing the game in wine packaging.Wine bottles aren't being left behind. While at a glance, bottles may not look different, there's a trend to reduce the weight of wine bottles. We tested this ourselves and found two different bottles of bubbles were nearly 10% different in weight! Translate that to a case, a pallet, a container, and the weight savings add up quickly. Reducing the carbon footprint in the wine industry is a hot item. Lighter wine bottles are a step in the right direction.Bottle sizes play a part in the wine packaging topic. From splits to half-bottles, Jeroboam to Midas, there are numerous options beyond the traditional 750ml. We might not be able to lift or pour wine from most of them, but we're willing to give it a try!Alternate packaging for wine is no longer a symbol of cheap, low-quality wine. Plop any of these wines in gift boxes or bags with tissue paper and gift away! Your friends will thank you!Support the Show.Thanks for joining Somm Women Talk Wine!

Jessica Kogan knows it. Listen to her, and you will know it. I did.  

A Cali girl through and through, Morét Brealynn, has done it all when it comes to wine.  From tasting room host to marketeer.  From event planner to any odd task she could get involving grapes.  Her passion and experience from some of the top wineries in Napa and Sonoma (you'll have to listen to learn which ones!) gave her a phenomenal foundation the good ole fashioned way - OJT (on the job training).Moving into her fourth harvest as the head winemaker for her own label, Morét-Brealynn Wines, Morét now calls the shots. We think she's pretty darned good at it too!  With a refined palette and passion for Pinot Noir, she's tackling everything from purchasing barrels to walking the vineyards to identify the exact moment of perfect ripeness of the grapes in her wines. Her fingerprint translates to wines which are seductive, yet playful. Linked to tradition, yet innovative. All with her own personal touch.Giving back and having fun is also key in who Morét is and what she represents as a female as well as a minority (100% Mexican) in the industry.  She also serves as a Board Member of Wine Women, a women focused non profit and supports local animal shelters in her free time.  When a glass of wine isn't in her hands, you'll likely find a golf club there instead.We know your curiosity is piqued and you'll want to try Morét-Brealynn Wines for yourself - good news!  Simply go to https://moretbrealynnwines.com and use SOMMWOMEN in the coupon code for 20% off all individual wines! (Bundles excluded)Join us as we explore Morét's journey from the tasting room to head winemaker - of course it wouldn't be Somm Women Talk Wine without a little fun along the way!Cheers!Charisse & Kristi Thanks for joining Somm Women Talk Wine!

This month we celebrated Women's History, International Women's Day was March 8th, and this past Monday, the 25th, it was National Women in Wine Day in the U.S.  So, appropriately, my guest for this episode is an accomplished woman in wine, who also happens to be an international woman. Marimar Torres is a member of Familia Torres, a historic winemaking family in Spain's Catalonia region. She loves living in California, especially Sonoma County's Russian River Valley, where she presides over Marimar Estate Vineyards and Winery as President and CEO. Yet she continues to be a trailblazer and jetsetter. Join us in her home as I honor Marimar for National Women in Wine Day.  Marimar Estate Vineyards and Winery On The Wine Road Podcast is sponsored by Sonoma Clean Power  

The Magic of Defying Routine Many people will watch a magic show and afterwards remark “ oh I know how they did that”. And spoil the whole magical feeling with this silly statement. I don't want to know. I suspend disbelief and analyzing. I go for the pure joy to experience an illusionary adventure. Zubrick and Zubrick Magic Theatre, Chris and Ryan, they call themselves ILLUSIONISTS. Rabbits out of a hat, women sawed in half, multiple doves… but an actual helicopter on stage?? Chris and Ryan's journey is one of pure mindset, risk taking and courage. The mindset is that they began their magic journey in Guam, then moved the theatre to St. Petersburg, Florida. They are now living and conducting stunning magic shows in St. Petersburg Florida— if anyone knows what the climate is like here for two married men… well there is their risk and courage. Luckily for them, they are in a community that embraces people of varied lifestyles.  It is age appropriate for children over three. www.zubrickmagic.com These ILLUSIONISTS are following an important principle that they, most likely, don't even know they are doing:  THE BREAKTHROUGH PRINCIPLE OF 16X, RICHARD KOCH: DEFY THE TYRANNY OF ROUTINE, DO IT YOUR WAY and other ideas in this handbook  Kundalini yoga:  Yes you can chant your way to prosperity and protection.  They say that to change a behavior or improve your circumstances a minimum of forty days ,  so try it. https://youtu.be/AxefrkDOOY8?feature=shared   Wine- it's SPRING  and many people will want Rose' wines.

For most wine drinkers, Sauvignon Blanc is THE white wine of New Zealand. We're here to debunk yet another myth and challenge you to think about NZ Chardonnay! From the focus of organic / biodynamic / regenerative farming to low intervention winemaking, winemakers let the chameleon varietal shine.  The land, the climate, even within the same vineyard is creating amazingly different expressions of Chardonnay and we're super excited to share them with you!We explore Chardonnay from Central Otago to Auckland through interviews with wineries and wine makers - this is a must listen episode for sure!Felton Road Wines, Bannockburn, Central Otago, South IslandWinemaker Blair Walter deep dives the distinct soil types even within same vineyard giving unique expression to their Chardonnay.  Passion for land as evidenced in their biodynamic farming practice leaves the true impression of care for NZ's land, - the soil just feels and smells different as if it's a living breathing organism.Te Whare Ra, Marlborough, Northern part of South IslandWinemaker Anna Flowerday who partners (with her husband,  Jason, tends some of the oldest vineyards in the region with some dainge back 20+ years or more.  Organic / Biodynamic farming, minimal intervention winemaking (no fining agents, yeasts, winemaking and small batch focus, hand pick / hand sort grapes, keep 100% control of the vineyard to bottle) add complexity to their Chardonnay. Anna shares her humor as she describes their wines by pairing them with celeb personalities which is a fun idea, but you totally get it when you listen to her tell these storiesKumeu River, Auckland, North Island and Hawke's Bay (purchased in 2017) Paul Brajkovich shares Kumeu River's history as family owned, long legacy of growing grapes and making wines back to the 1940s.CHANCE OF A LIFETIME - similar to 1976 Judgement of Paris moment, Paul shares a blind tasting where Kumeu River's Chardonnay's are placed against a range of Premier Cru and Village Burgundies from the best producers.  The panel of well known somms, wine critics and the like blinded the wines and Kumeu triumphed over top white Burgundies in every flight apart from one, where it came first equal (tied).Man O'War, Waiheke Island, part of Auckland region but distinctly separateTakes 45 min ferry to island and another 45 min bus ride to the winery on the opposite side of island and you'll find yourself at Man O' War, an enormous 4500 acre farm - about 20% of total island - full of animals, beehives, gardens, vineyards, lodging for staff etc…  plus76 vineyards!Cecelia Bravo hosts and shares how Man O' War is going against the grain with their Chardonnay!While many of NZ's Chardonnay wines don't make it to the export market, we highly encourage you to seek some out and hopefully we'll get the word out for more and more distributors to get these lovelies into the US or wherever you're listening!Cheers and, as always, LIKE, FOLLOW, SHARE!Thanks for joining Somm Women Talk Wine!

Wine lists are an integral part of a great dining experience.  Some people (Kristi being a guilty party) choose restaurants specifically by the wines on their list.  But how wine lists are built and curate takes special attention, focus, care and selectivity.  Ever wonder what goes into building them?  Then this is your episode!Join Charisse and Kristi as they discuss the subject and have guest visits from a Huneeus Wines, AJ McGuckin, Director of Sales, and others in the industry to learn their tips for building a successful wine list.  Cuisine, atmosphere, menu pricing, and customer preferences all play important roles.

Not every pink wine is treated equally.  Not every pink wine is actually a Rosé.  From the palest ballet pink to the most raucous fuchsia, rosé comes in many styles and colors.  There are also many different ways to make a Rosé.

As two women in the wine industry, what better topic for us to tackle than “Women in Wine”?!  Special guests include Lindsey Koch and Benedicte Rhyne who share their passion for wine and how they embraced their natural female skills and talents to make their way in the traditionally male oriented world of wine.  Meet Lindsey:  Lindsey started her career in Fort Worth, TX as a medical staffing agency before launching her own staffing company, Embracing her interest in wine she studied to become a certified Sommelier, she took the big leap of faith to start her own wine bar, WineHaus from the ground up.  After  8 years, she sold the business to a previous customer as she made the move out to Sonoma County, California to further her career in wine. Living in California Wine Country, Lindsey is currently the Estate Director for Small Vines Wines in Sebastopol, managing everything from marketing and customer outreach, to curating bespoke tasting experiences at the winery.

After we recorded this episode of Wine Talks, Mariam entered and won the very first Sommelier event ever held in Armenia. Congratulations. The fact they even had a sanctioned event such as this in Armenia will tell you how far the Armenian wine culture has progressed.  In this episode, you will hear from one passionate individual who saw a need and was willing to take a risk to find out if it even really existed. Ten years later and with a total of 1500 sku's in her store, I think we can safely say "yes" there was a need. Her tasting room, wine shop and Fromagerie was the first in Yerevan and continues to attract both wine intellects and wine novices to explore the burgeoning wine industry in Armenia.  With an impressive collection of French and Italian wines to compliment her exhaustive ensemble of Armenian wine, there is something for everyone. While there, I took part in my nephews networking event that I was privledged to help select the wines. Have a listen to a woman in wine is a big way.

Recently awarded the OAM for her services to women in the wine industry, Jane talks to Jill about the challenges women face in the industry and the exciting symposium coming up in Sydney in November. @thewineshowaustralia #australianwomeninwineawards

Virginia has a thriving wine culture and tradition where Corry Craighill continues to make her mark as a winemaker. Now at Septenary Winery in Central Virginia, Corry has learned both the art and science of making wine through hands-on experiences at wineries on multiple continents. She shares her journey and advice she has for carving out a name for yourself and finding the position that fits you best. Special Mentions: Virginia WineJefferson VineyardsBlenheim VineyardsKing Family VineyardsSeptenary WineryPurchase Septenary WinesVirginia Winemakers Research ExchangeWine Terms:Maceration: This process, used primarily in making red wine, involves steeping grape skins and solids in wine after fermentation, when alcohol acts as a solvent to extract color, tannins and aroma from the skins (aided by heat, the amount of skin contact and time). (Wine Spectator)Carbonic maceration: A winemaking process that takes place during fermentation to produce fresh, fruit-forward, low-tannin red wines. Carbonic maceration uses whole clusters of grapes in a sealed, carbon dioxide-filled tank to start fermentation within each grape. (MasterClass)Cap: The thick layer of skins, stems and seeds that forms at the surface of fermenting red wine. Cap management, or breaking up the cap to increase contact between the skins and the liquid, is important since red wines extract color and flavor from the skins.

I didn't mention it in the interview but Anne's story is one of an immigrant achieving the American Dream. In Anne's case, it was propelled by two exceptional mentors, and her drive to create something special, like designing a Sculpture Park throughout the rolling vineyards at Donum Estate. She also developed relationships with winegrowers who could provide the grapes she needed to create ideal Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Her impressive career is what prompted me to choose her as the subject for National Women in Wine Day.     

In honor of Women's History Month, Kathryn and Tug have a conversation surrounding women in the wine industry. Kathryn talks about some of the challenges women face and how that's changing...slowly. A few weeks ago was the 5th edition of Canons: a wine faire just for women in France. French winemaker Isabelle Perraud is a leader in the industry, speaking out against sexism, discrimination and assault against women. The hosts drink a bottle of her red pét-nat that is perfect springtime and day drinking (Hint: it's not totally dry). Kathryn references her current wine resources: the natural wine blog NOT DRINKING POISON the UK Magazine GLUG. At home, the hosts recount a recent trip away form the kids for the first time. Kathryn talks about what she's reading for Esters' Book Club. Tug is inspired a recent trip back to high school, and a Culver City HS basketball game. The Wine of the Week is Isabelle Perraud 'Balance Ta Bulle' Pét-Nat, Beaujolais, France 2021.

Some people are definitely born with the sales gene.

The Sober Curious movement is gaining traction in this country which I am reminded of at the start of every year with all the Dry January posts. And if you need to reassess your relationship with alcohol, please, by all means. But on behalf of alcohol producers, I feel compelled to say a few words about how a neo-prohibition movement, no matter how small, must not negate the love, respect, and passion that cidermakers, winemakers, brewers, distillers, and fermenters in general have for the beverages they produce. These professionals have an avid dedication to the craft and they are very aware that it comes with great responsibility.References and Special Mentions:Inside the New Temperance Movement, This Naked Mind, Control Alcohol From Dry January to Fake Cocktails, Inside the New Temperance Movement, The Washington Post MagazineDry January ACA Temperance Movement Today in US: Neo-Prohibitionism, Alcohol Problems and SolutionsThank you to Tony Stuck for the awesome intro/outro music and to Mary Ann King for the amazing pod art that you see for every episode.
