Ep 077 - Saint Laurent

As of 2013, there are about 5,000 acres of St. Laurent vines with major plantings in Austria, Germany, Czech Republic and Slovakia. Many compare it to Pinot Noir but to us, th...
Ep 076 - Cinsault
August 16, 2017 06:00 - 15 minutes - 14.2 MBOver the next couple of weeks we’re changing pace from summer whites and trying some delicious red wines that can be enjoyed in warmer weather. Cinsault is a red wine grape mostly used in blends like the reds of the Southern France and there is a lot of it! As of 2010, there were about 90,000 acres of vines making it the 25th most grown grape. This week's episode we discuss: Where it's grown? What climate is best? Flavor characterisitics Food pairings
Ep 75 - Falanghina
August 09, 2017 06:00 - 13 minutes - 12.1 MBIf you’ve listened to the podcast in recent weeks, you may have noticed a small focus on Italian white wines as well as white wines in general. It’s not that we don’t enjoy reds in the summer, but rather, we wanted to give you some light, crisp wine options for summer instead of the usually sweet wine or Pinot Gris that dominate the shelves in wine shops. So this week we continue that journey into lesser known varieties with a white wine and grape from Southern Italy called Falanghina. ...
Ep 074 - Vermentino
August 02, 2017 06:00 - 11 minutes - 10.6 MBThis week we're talking about Vermentino. Vermentino is a light-bodied white wine and grape that grows mostly in Italy on the island of Sardinia. There is about 22,000 acres worldwide so it's not a very common grape variety and information on this wine hard to come by. This week's episode we discuss: where Vermentino gorwn Sardinia, Italy Vermentino di Gallura DOCG Flavor characterisitics Food pairings
Ep 073 - Lugana
July 26, 2017 06:00 - 16 minutes - 14.7 MBThis week we’re talking about a wine region in Italy you probably haven’t heard of called Lugana which produces a light, dry white wine of the same name. We were able to get our hands on a couple of bottles and found it to be a perfect addition to our summertime wines. So let’s get into it. This week we cover: Where is the Lugana DOC? Geography and climate What grape is in Lugana and why is it so confusing? Styles of Lugana Flavor characteristics and food pairings Wine Re...
Ep 072 - Four Wines July 2017 Edition

Ep 070 - German Sekt
July 05, 2017 06:00 - 17 minutes - 16.1 MBhis week we are talking about German Sekt. Sekt means sparkling wine in German and in our opinion you can never have too much Sekt in your life. As you know we love all sparkling wine, but Sekt is not the easiest to find. This is because Germans love their sparkling wine, so much that the annual (German) per capita consumption of about five liters (of sparkling wine) is the highest in the world. Most Sekt doesn’t leave the country; in fact as of 2011, of the 420 million liters of Sekt that w...
Ep 069 - Muscadet
June 28, 2017 06:00 - 13 minutes - 12.6 MBThis week we continue our series on lesser known white wine varieties with a french wine called Muscadet. The name of this wine is rather confusing; not named for the region it hails from (Pays de la Loire) or the grape used (Melon de Bourgogne). Some believe the name originates from people believing the wine had a "musky" aroma but that is also confusing since the flavors of this wine are subtle and anything but musky. In this week's episode we discuss: Melon de Bourgogne the grape. ...
Ep 068 - Soave
June 21, 2017 06:00 - 16 minutes - 14.8 MBOnce one of Italy’s most famous white wines, Soave has had its ups and downs, and can now be a little tough to find. Fortunately, there are some great Soave out there if you’re willing to look. Mostly made from the Garganega grape, Soave dedicates 20,00 vines to this once popular wine. This week's episode we discuss: Where is Soave? Why is Soave the perfect place to grow Garganega? Soave's bad reputation and what they are doing to overcome it Wine styles, flavor characteristics,...
Ep 067 - Grüner, not Gru-vee
June 14, 2017 06:00 - 22 minutes - 20.8 MBWe enjoy discovering wines made from lesser known grapes or regions so this episode we talk about Grüner Veltliner, which after this episode might be your new favorite summer white wine. Grüner Veltliner is a grape that makes a dry white wine by the same name that is grown almost exclusively in Austria. The name translates to “Green Wine of Veltlin” - an area in the lower Alps during the 1600’s that is now part of Valtellina, Italy. There are about 50,000 acres of Grüner Veltliner worldwide ...

This week's episode takes a journey to Italy and the Western part of the US.
Ep 064 - New Zealand Pinot Noir
May 24, 2017 06:00 - 22 minutes - 20.9 MBNew Zealand is known as the “Sauvignon Blanc capital of the World” which we covered way back in episode seven of this podcast.

Ep 063 - Rosé for Days
May 17, 2017 06:00 - 15 minutes - 13.9 MBSummer is fast approaching which means it’s time to swap your boots and Cabs for sandals and light fruity wines. Some our favorite warm weather wines are dry Rosé. Rosé is a type of wine that incorporates some of the color from the grape skins, but not enough to qualify it as a red wine. They're made from a wide variety of grapes and can be found all around the globe. It can be made still, semi-sparkling or sparkling and with a wide range of sweetness levels from highly dry Provençal rosé to...
Ep 062 - Wine in the News May 2017

Ep 058 - Red Burgundy
April 12, 2017 06:00 - 17 minutes - 15.9 MBBurgundy is all about two grapes: pinot noir and chardonnay, which is the only aspect of Burgundy that is simple. Everything else can be complex and confusing to the average wine lover but we are using the next two episodes to break down some of that confusion.

In this week's episode we discuss: Early history of Burgundy wine Climate, Geography a...
Ep 057 - Four Wines April 2017 Edition
April 05, 2017 06:00 - 17 minutes - 16.1 MBTime for another edition of Four Wines! If you're new to our show, every couple of months we like to pause and take an episode to talk about wines we love that do not fit into an upcoming episode. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed researching for it!
Ep 056 - Pinot Grigio
March 29, 2017 06:00 - 17 minutes - 15.6 MBPeople view Pinot Grigio as a super light, thin, patio-pounder. Well, this may be the case for a good chunk of the mass produced wine coming out of Northern Italy but if you are quick to generalize, you'll miss out on some fabulous wines. There are so many variations of this wine throughout the world that it cannot be boxed into one type or one style. Pinot Grigio (A.K.A. Pinot Gris, which translated from French literally means "grey pine cone"), has so much more to offer the world than how ...
Ep 055 - Nebbiolo
March 22, 2017 06:00 - 19 minutes - 17.4 MBThis week is all about the unique grape that is Nebbiolo. Since it's light in color people often mistake it for a tame wine but this wine is anything but tame. It's big acid and tannin structure require some serious aging and don't even think about drinking this wine without some serious decanting or at least opening the bottle a couple hours before enjoying. Although it might not provide instant gratification, this wine is a must try if you are looking for a serious food wine. In this...
Ep 054 - Viognier
March 15, 2017 06:00 - 16 minutes - 14.7 MBViognier is an overlooked wine. I think part of the reason is because people have difficulty pronouncing the word and they don't want to sounds stupid. This wine is worth sounding stupid for and do not worry - in this week's episode we say Viognier about 100 times so by the end you'll be an expert. In this week's episode we explore this revived Rhône variety: History (or lack of) of Viognier How it grows and where it grows Winemaking techniques Styles and Flavor characteristics ...
