The air is getting crisp over the rolling hills of our Maryland vineyard, and the holidays are just around the corner!

✨ November at Wildside
A Month for Slowing Down + Saying Yes November is a month that invites you to exhale. The vines have done their work. The leaves have turned copper and loosened their grip. The air asks us to linger a little longer over a glass of wine, to pull a chair closer to the people who make us feel like home. At Wildside, we believe this is the real heart of the season — not the rush that’s coming, but the soft pause before it. So this November, we’re gathering in ways that help us reconnect: ...

Rémy Cointreau Announces Plans for a Cognac Super Bowl Commercial
For some, viewing the Super Bowl commercials can be even more competitive than the big game itself. If this describes you, it’s likely that you already know that beer ads typically dominate commercial breaks during football games, the Super Bowl included. This year, though, there’s set to be at least one Cognac brand you’re likely to catch during an advertising break.

What retail price is right for your Private Champagne Brand?
What retail price is right for your Private Champagne Brand? It’s a question that’s really important for anyone considering creating their own brand of champagne and I wish that there was a simple formula that allowed you to come up with the right answer every time, but there isn’t, so let’s consider some retail price in the U.K. and see what pointers they might give us. These prices are not directly comparable to prices in other markets but the positioning relatively to one another is relevant, as are the price categories that emerge. In my view, there are, broadly speaking, 4 price bands image. The Drinks Business Below £25 These prices can only be found in large supermarket chains who are selling their own brand. The supermarkets can achieve these prices because they place very large orders and can command the lowest possible cost prices; they operate on very thin profit margins; they spend little or nothing on marketing because they have a ready-made distribution network and in add

podcast· 59:37· Ep 529The Honest Truth: Is the Wine Industry Too Elitist for Its Own Good? Louis Calli tells all.
He had me at: "Wine has gotten so unbelievably soft. It walks around whining and making apologies." When I read this, I reached out immediately to ask him how...and why? And he told me. Louis has been around, in fact, I sensed his career was parrellel to mine: he has vast experience in wine retail, wine wholesale, wine hospitality, wine digital, wine writing, wine, wine, wine..... Louis Calli may never have claimed to "save" the wine industry single-handedly, but his diagnosis is as precise as a master sommelier's nose—wine has gotten soft, and it's time to sip reality. This episode doesn't swirl around niceties or empty nostalgia. Instead, the conversation dives headlong into the uncomfortable truths facing wine today: a business obsessed with shiny fads, paralyzed by fear of changing consumer tastes, and haunted by the specter of private equity. Listeners will hear why pouring another limited-edition seltzer or slapping a "low alcohol" sticker on a bottle isn't just lazy marketing—it
podcast· 1h 08mÉpisode 86 : Pierre Thollet, bienvenue sur le terroir lyonnais
Domaine de la Petite Gallée, Millery, Coteaux du lyonnais Alerte 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.

podcast· 40:12· Ep 408Golf Claps and Nebbiolo: A Playful Dive into Barolo and Barbaresco
Michael Pinkus and André Proulx take this show on the road live from the GO Train en route to a Barolo and Barbaresco tasting recently held in Toronto. André was looking for a starting point as a Barolo-curious drinker concerned about tannins and long aging. At the Liberty Grand, they taste through producers and interview Salvatore from Reva Winery about crafting youthful, fruit-forward Nebbiolo and why they don’t recommend decanting. Pietro Ratti explains Barolo’s vineyard mapping history, the MGA system (170 MGAs plus 11 villages), and how to learn the region by starting with vintage, then village, then single-vineyard wines. Bersano discusses modernizing Piedmont wines for drinkability and how climate change is affecting Barolo styles and accessibility. Back home, they praise the approachability and value of Reva’s 2023 Langhe Nebbiolo and 2021 Barolo.

The Umani Ronchi story is one of ancient vines, land, and people. It began more than half a century ago at Cupramontana, in the heart of Verdicchio Classico country, and has spread further.
