podcast· 1h 01m· Ep 519Navigating Wine Lists and Confidence: A Conversation with Natalie McLean
I find her refreshing. I find her intriguing. I find her wise: In wine. Natalie brings to the proverbial table an unabashed view of wine and she will tell you like it is. I have to tell you that having Natalie McLean on the show was one of those times where you know you could just keep talking for hours, and still barely scratch the surface. From the moment she cracked her opening line about starting to drink when she met her husband—"and haven't found a reason to stop"—I knew we were in for an episode rich in anecdotes, laughter, and real insight into the world of wine and the people orbiting it. I love a guest who doesn't take themselves too seriously, especially when that guest has the credentials and accolades to do so if they wanted. Right off the bat, the story of how Natalie McLean first dipped her toe—well, her glass—into wine was classic. The ex-husband, the MBA couple, and the journey through Spanish classes, golf, and finally onto wine studies left me grinning. You know, eve

podcast· 18:18164. Acceptance Not Apathy
Have you ever done something you swore you wouldn’t do—like drink too much—and then beat yourself up for it afterward? You promise yourself you’ll do better next time, but somehow, the same thing keeps happening. It’s frustrating, isn’t it? And maybe you’re even wondering if accepting it would mean giving up. But what if there’s a different way to look at it? What if the key to drinking less isn’t about fighting yourself or making bigger promises? What if the answer lies in something that feels a little scary but is actually really powerful? Hit play and let’s explore this together—you don’t want to miss it.

videoSommerliers Leading Change with Gray Chikwape #1
Sommelier Grey Chikwape shares the wines capturing his attention at the moment, from expressive Chenin Blanc to the growing quality of Grenache and Cinsault.

Champagne M.Hostomme: A Century of Grand Cru Heritage in Chouilly - An interview with Laurent Hostomme
Rooted in Chouilly, the Hostomme family has been shaping wine for nearly a century, from its beginnings in polyculture and post-phylloxera recovery, to its reputation today as a producer unafraid to experiment with forgotten grapes, unconventional élevage, and even sea-aging. At the helm is Laurent Hostomme, the fourth generation to steward the family name. For him, Champagne is not only an inheritance but a living philosophy, grounded in respect, generosity, and continuity.

podcast· 55:19· Ep 406Is Nikka From the Barrel redefining the global whiskey market?
Michael Pinkus and André Proulx welcome Nikka Global Director Koji and Export Manager Kuma to discuss Japanese whisky and taste Nikka’s Yoichi and Miyagikyo single malts plus Nikka From the Barrel and the 40th-anniversary From the Barrel Extra Marriage. They cover founder Masataka Taketsuru’s role as the “father of Japanese whisky,” his 1918–1920 Scotland apprenticeship and detailed notebook, and Nikka’s four pillars: terroir, producing a variety of whiskies in-house, Coffey still grain whisky, and blending skill. The guests explain Yoichi’s coastal, direct coal-fire character and Miyagikyo’s softer mountain style shaped by pot-still design, heating method, and ex-sherry casks. From the Barrel is described as a 51.4% blend of 100+ whiskies made smoother via a cask “marriage” finishing, with Extra Marriage extending that process to six months. They note Japanese whisky’s market growth, minimal focus on age statements for these expressions, and recommend From the Barrel as the best entry

videoPeregrine Winery with Wanda Mann (12/2025)
Peregrine Wines winery and vineyards are located in the southernmost grape-growing region in the world, at latitude 45 degrees south, in Central Otago, the heart of New Zealand’s South Island. Central Otago is New Zealand’s only inland and elevated wine growing region, with vineyards nestled in breathtaking river valleys, clinging to snow-capped mountainsides or perched gently on the shores of crystal clear lakes. Peregrine Wines is named in honor of New Zealand’s endemic falcon (Karearea in Mao
videoWhy Southern Montalcino Is So Special | Brunello Geography Explained #wine #history #montalcino
Why does southern Montalcino produce such distinctive Brunello di Montalcino? In this short, I’m on location in southern Montalcino, exploring how geography and climate shape the wines. We look at the influence of Monte Amiata, the warming effect of the Tyrrhenian Sea, and the role of the rivers that define the appellation — the Orcia, Asso, and Ombrone. Filmed near Poggio di Sotto and Castelnuovo dell’Abate, this is a quick, clear explanation of why the southern zone of Brunello is warmer, more exposed, and stylistically distinct. Perfect for wine students, WSET candidates, and anyone interested in Italian wine and terroir.
