Peregrine Winery with Wanda Mann - Short (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 Maori), a bird without rival or fear. A bird that combines both power and finesse, the essence of Peregrine’s range of wines. A boutique, artisanal producer, Peregrine focuses on Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Riesling, and Chardonnay. It is a brand that has, since its first vintage in 1998, gained a reputation both domestically and internationally as one of New Zealand’s iconic wine brands. The winery has been awarded numerous international and domestic trophies, gold medals, and accolades that fully jus

Prohibition

The Impact of Prohibition on American Wine In this episode of After Wine School, hosts Keith Wallace and Alana Zerbe delve into the history of American Prohibition and its profound impact on the wine industry. They discuss the rise of the temperance movement, the unexpected enactment of Prohibition in 1920, the cultural and economic fallout, and the rise of organized crime. They also highlight the significant loss of wine knowledge and the evolution of America’s relationship with alcohol post-Prohibition. Additionally, they explore the recovery and resurgence of the wine industry, with a particular focus on California, and the ongoing challenges and regulations that stem from this era. 01:03 The Temperance Movement and Early Prohibition Efforts 03:51 Wine's Early History in America 08:39 Prohibition's Impact on the Wine Industry 12:43 The Rise of Organized Crime and Federal Policing 14:23 The Decline of Prohibition 16:21 Economic and Social Impact of Prohibition 17

The Best Cava I've Ever Had (Spanish Wine Tasting)

Six wines, one country, and we have to guess where they're from. Spoiler: we were way off, and these wines were way better than expected. Spain is maybe the largest wine-producing country in the world, but it often flies under the radar compared to France, Italy, and Germany. Today we're tasting six Spanish wines completely blind to see if we can identify them—and more importantly, if they're any good. What we tasted: Six wines ranging from sparkling to orange to red. The styles were all over the place, which made guessing the country incredibly difficult. Our guesses: Brendan: Italy Noah: France Henry: China (seriously) The reality: Spain. All of them. The Verdict: These are probably the most compelling Spanish wines we've had on the show. That Cava? Game-changing. The Priorat wines? Spectacular. The budget reds? Incredible value. Key Moments: Henry thinking it was China imitating France "Burger rings" and "wheat bix" aroma descriptors for Comando G Discovering the best Cava we

Saffron Fields Spectrum Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2021 | The Clone Wars w/ Adam Wolf!

Adam Wolf is back, and he brings a whole new story with him. Since his last visit, he packed up his life in LA and moved to Oregon’s Willamette Valley to work at Saffron Fields. We talk about that jump, what pulled him into the region, and how different the wine world feels when you live inside it instead of tasting from a distance. Adam walks us through his new role, the tasting room culture, and why Oregon’s wine community feels so supportive. We get into the local food scene, the shift from LA’s global wine focus to Oregon’s drink-local mentality, and what it’s like to taste in a place with more than 800 wineries. He also sends us a bottle of the 2021 Spectrum Pinot Noir, an entry point into Saffron Fields’ lineup. We dig into what makes it approachable, how the winemaking works, and why clones matter so much in the Willamette Valley. The conversation takes us into tasting structure, flavor differences, and the challenge of keeping your palate alive after 15 Pinots in two days. I
