podcast· 50:10· Ep 509How Time, Terroir, and Biodynamics Shape World-Class Sparkling Wines in Penedès
I am a sparkling wine lover. I think sparkling wine should be part of everyones repetoir; not for celebrations...for dinner, for lunch, for anytime. Certainly, one issue with sparkling wine is the price. One of the most popular Champagnes in the world, Veuve Clicquot, is $60.00/bottle! But then you see La Marca sparkling at $14.00/bottle. What is a consumer to do? One conversation with Anna Lopez of Gramora clears it all up. When you meet someone as devoted to their craft as Anna Lopez, you realize immediately that wine is more than a drink—it's a philosophy of patience, persistence, and place. This episode unfurls the fascinating story of how a tradition-bound winemaker from Gramona decided to trade the old guard for innovation, helping lead a sparkling wine revolution in Spain's Penedes region. Listeners are drawn into the drama behind the formation of Corpinnat, the new collective of family-run estates that broke away from the Cava appellation in order to protect integrity, promote

podcast· 20:27· Ep 201Lenz Moser: From Austrian Legacy to Chateau Changyu Moser XV in Ningxia
What does it take to bridge two wine worlds? Lenz Moser has made 75 trips to China over 21 years, transforming from curious visitor to pioneering winemaker at Chateau Changyu Moser XV in Ningxia. As the fifth generation of Austria's legendary Lenz Moser wine family, whose grandfather invented the revolutionary trellising system used across Europe.

In this episode, Lenz shares his journey from that first overwhelming moment in Beijing Airport to becoming the winemaker Chateau Changyu Moser XV in Ningxia.

podcast· 59:47· Ep 95095: Transitioning from Conventional to Organic Grape Farming with Rob Warren
Organic grape production is gaining momentum, but making the transition from conventional farming requires careful planning, patience, and a willingness to adapt. In this episode of Vineyard Underground, Fritz welcomes Rob Warren, owner and operator of Desert Willow Vineyard and Warren Farms in Seminole, Texas, to share his experience converting his vineyard to certified organic production. Rob explains how his agricultural background in organic row crops gave him experience with organic systems long before he applied those principles to grape growing. As consumer demand began to shift toward more natural and sustainably produced wines, wineries started seeking organic fruit, prompting Rob to pursue certification. During the conversation, Fritz and Rob walk through the realities of transitioning a vineyard to organic management. Rob discusses the three-year certification timeline, the importance of documenting the final use of conventional inputs, and the need for growers to rethink pe

podcast· 1h 33m· S6E26Summers in a Family Home in Nantucket to Oxy & Cocaine Addiction, First Term & Felony Strike by 18, Extradition on a Murder Charge, Beaten Nearly to Death in Mexico & More
(If listening through headphones, the first 16 minutes are difficult to hear my husband, but then it evens out - stay with me!!) Part One of my husband's incredible story. Sky grew up in an affluent area of Northern California, spending summers at the family home in Nantucket, surrounded by wealthy families and privilege. A gifted athlete, a knee injury at sixteen threw his entire world off course. Strung out on oxycontin and kicked out of high school his senior year, Sky's world completely crumbled. By the time he was 18 he was doing his first jail term and had a felony strike in California. Not even being extradited at 22 from Florida to California by US Air Marshals and accused of homicide didn't stop his escalating drug use. Part One brings us to Sky turning 29 and beginning a new treatment center in San Diego, the year he also met me. I REALLY want to hear what you guys think of my husband's episode...I am BEYOND proud of him and his vulnerability and strength in this episode. DM
podcast· 1h 25mÉpisode 84 : Christophe Landry, un secret bien gardé
Christophe Landry , Château des Graviers et Clos Dufourg, Margaux, Bordeaux Depuis 2019, j’ai appris énormément de choses avec Le Bon Grain de l’Ivresse. Parmi elles, il y a, je pense, une certaine vérité du terrain. La théorie c’est bien mais ça doit être complété par du terrain. Sentir, écouter, admirer, toucher et goûter, ça n’a pas de prix. J’ai donc appris à faire confiance à ceux qui le ratissent ce terrain. Et parmi eux, il y a Jérôme Gagnez . Au printemps 2025, je l’ai appelé pour profiter de sa connaissance du bordelais qu’il arpente sans relâche depuis son installation dans la région. Il m’a cité plusieurs noms, accompagnés d’arguments solides, puis le ton de sa voix a changé en prononçant le nom de Christophe Landry. L’enthousiasme qu’il a mis à ce moment-là m’a instantanément convaincu. Et j’ai bien fait de l’écouter car j’ai découvert à Arsac un vigneron pointu, profondément gentil, avec un petit grain de folie et surtout des vins qui ont une âme. Je vous embarque donc auj

Foolhardy Vintners
Jonathan Edelman and Dan Sogg of Foolhardy Vintners When Jonathan Edelman and Dan Sogg met years ago as freshmen at Bowdoin College in Maine, they never imagined they would one day own a winery together. Although they both grew up in wine drinking families, their path to owning their own winery was a long and twisted one. Jonathan became a Michelin restaurant chef, and also spent twenty years in the technology world. Dan worked at wineries in France, spent a decade writing for the Wine Spectator , and still works for a cooper in Burgundy. The first vintage of their own Foolhardy Vintners brand was 2016, and they opened a tasting room in downtown Walla Walla in March 2025. The tasting room is in the historic McDonald Seed and Stable building dating from 1905. Dan and Jonathan have spent their lives drinking mostly old-world wines, and this experience has influenced their palates and wine style. Their goal is to make food-friendly wines that are
