podcast· 53:48· Ep 591Ep 591: Grape Mini Series - The Zinfandel Refresh
After 14 years, I felt like it was probably time to do another show on Zinfandel! Known as America's heritage grape, the story of the quest for its European origins is like a mystery novel with an interesting end. It is a great grape and so historic! Photo: Frank Schulenburg, CC BY-SA 4.0 , via Wikimedia Commons In this show I cover the massive history of the grape and the unbelievable decades-long search for its origins, which were finally discovered after a dogged group of researchers did a painstaking investigation. I move on to discuss the vineyard and winemaking. Much of the information I got was from one of the kings of Zinfandel in the Dry Creek Valley of Sonoma, Fred Peterson of Peterson Winery. Fred started his career in wine working under the very famed Paul Draper at Ridge, before starting his own winery. Fred has been making Zinfandel for more than 50 years. His estate vineyard is outside his front door and has Zin in it. He sources from other vineyards, and makes low inter

In this episode of Big Blend Radio’s "Food, Wine & Travel" Show with the International Food Wine Travel Writers Association (IFWTWA) we explore the winter magic, rich history, and culinary heritage of Pennsylvania’s Laurel Highlands with Eric Knopsnyder, Director of Public Relations & Community Outreach for GO Laurel Highlands. Located just an hour from Pittsburgh and within a day’s drive of nearly a quarter of the U.S. population, the Laurel Highlands is a four-season destination known for its mountain landscapes, charming small towns, outdoor adventures, and deep cultural roots. Eric shares insights into the region’s winter sports scene, including four downhill ski areas, luxury experiences at Nemacolin, unique lodging options, and why skiing here often extends into March. The conversation also dives into the Laurel Highlands’ role as the birthplace of American rye whiskey, its vibrant craft beverage scene, award-winning dining, and community-driven events like the Fire & Ice Festiva

podcast· 18:16131. Your Thoughts Playlist
Learning to drink differently involves learning a new set of skills. This begins with awareness of your thoughts. Because what you THINK determines how you FEEL and what action you’re willing or likely to take. Think the same old thoughts you’ll take the same old action. Today I explain how to start to build up the skill of thinking differently—about yourself, your drinking and what you’re actually capable of. If you want to drink less, drink rarely or not at all, I can help. And it will be fun learning how to do this too. You know what you want for your life. I know how to help you get it.

podcast· 50:27· Ep 397Is that old bottle of wine in your cellar worth anything?
We get some odd questions as Canadian wine writers, many are about other Canadian wine writers: "Does Michael really hate Chardonnay?" "Does Andre really not know how to finish a question?" But the question we get asked most: "I have a bottle of BLANK Canadian wine in my cellar - how much is it worth?" We finally sat down with an expert in the secondary market of wines and posed that and other questions to him. This week we welcome Stephen Ranger, a true Mensch in the wine world, and our go to guy for this sort of thing. Links from the show ...

podcast· 41:11· Ep 141141. A Coruna, Galicia, Spain. Complete guide to visiting A Coruna
In this episode, we talk about how we spent four enjoyable days in this coastal city in north western Galicia. We did a walking tour that really helped us understand the city, found what we think is the best tapas area, with fantastic food, great atmosphere and very reasonable prices, and spent plenty of time just wandering. It is a very unusual Spanish city and we explain why in the podcast. We also walked part of the longest seaside promenade in Europe and visited the Tower of Hercules, the oldest Roman built lighthouse in the world that is still working today. It is simple, impressive and very much part of everyday life in A Coruña.

Tannin
The bitter truth about this elusive flavour When you hear someone talk about tannins in wine, they are talking about astringent sensory components that contribute to a wine’s structure and complexity. On the palate, they create a dry, puckering sensation on the palate, often perceived as a bitter taste. Tannins are chemical compounds that belong […] The post Tannin appeared first on VITIS .

podcast· 1h 04mÉpisode 80 : Jean-Baptiste & Sacha Geoffroy, des Cumières en or
Champagne Geoffroy, Aÿ, Champagne Top. Je suis un village champenois situé sur la rive droite de la Marne, à proximité immédiate d’Epernay. Mon vignoble se compose principalement d’un amphitéatre exposé au sud qui me permet d’être régulièrement parmi les premiers à être vendangé. Je fais partie de la Vallée de la Marne et pourtant mon cépage principal est le pinot noir. Je suis classé 1er cru. Je suis, je suis ? Cumières bien sûr. Et parmi les excellents représentants de ce beau village se trouve la famille Geoffroy. Depuis quelques années, leur cuvier est installé à Aÿ. C’est là que j’ai rencontré Jean-Baptiste et sa fille Sacha. Pourquoi eux ? Tout simplement car c’est un de leurs champagnes qui m’a offert une des plus vives émotions de ces 12 derniers mois. Je voulais donc en savoir plus et vous emmener avec moi pour découvrir leur travail. Et je n’ai pas été déçu.

CASE 0510: New Money, Old Expectations
DEFENDANT: Gilded Age Decadence EVIDENCE: Biltmore Estate Reserve Chenin Blanc SCENE OF THE CRIME: The Biltmore Estate, Asheville, NC -- Hey friend — welcome back to True Crimes Against Wine for our first full episode of 2026! We’re sipping a slightly off-dry Chenin Blanc (surprise: from Biltmore in North Carolina), chatting about how it tastes like walking through a crisp apple orchard, debating whether monkeys belong at high-society parties, and diving headfirst into the Gilded Age — Mansions, dollar princesses, scandalous debutante balls, and the Vanderbilts’ iconic Biltmore Estate. We pair tasting notes (pear, honey, kiwi, and a lovely balancing acidity) with wild historical tangents, food pairing dreams (shishitos, spicy sausage, melon & prosciutto), and way too many fantasies about being wealthy eccentrics. If you love wine stories, architectural daydreams, and irreverent history deep dives, join us for laughs, snacks, and one judge-y quiz. Tell us your snack, your Biltmore memor
