Italian Sake Is Made With Risotto for a Distinct Taste
When Misal Memeo and Nicola Coppe decided to create a line of Italian sake, they knew they’d have some obstacles to overcome. First, no one had ever made a truly Italian sake before. Second, how could they make a product that would both appeal to the Italian palate and stand out in a market saturated with wine and craft beer? And third, neither of them really knew how to make sake. The article Italian Sake Is Made With Risotto for a Distinct Taste appeared first on VinePair .
podcast· 1h 07m· S6E23Revisiting My Husband's Relapse Last Year PLUS the Twelve Steps for Skeptics - how does it actually work?!
As some of you know, last year my husband went through a gnarly relapse - it was HELL on both of us. He spent very little time in our home in 2023 and I was desperate to hide that fact. This week last year, I released an episode sharing what was really going on and that I didn't know if my marriage was going to work. I was in a place of heartbreak and resignation, but also determination to start making moves to stand on my own - without him if need be. When I released this, he had resurfaced from Mexico, dirty, picked up, emaciated and sick. I allowed him to sleep in the living room downstairs with all of my valuables locked in my car, keys in my bra, while I tried to find him a detox we could afford. Over the ensuing weeks, two things happened - one, we couldn't afford anything nor get him into a free detox, and two, he actually seemed to be finally beaten. Cut to this past Monday, September 2nd 2024, he just celebrated one year sober. I interviewed him on Monday and that episode will
podcast· 52:00· S1E213Pét-Nat Is Older Than Champagne. Is It Better?
Pét-Nat has a “reputation.” Some people love it, and some people think it is a revival of an ancient technique that should have stayed ancient. But, did you know that the Pét-Nat style of making sparkling wine, more broadly known as Méthode Ancestrale, is hundreds of years older than the Méthode Champenoise? The origins of Pét-Nat probably came about by accident when wine that wasn’t quite done fermenting yet was bottled, and so carbon dioxide, which is produced when yeast turns sugar into alcohol, was trapped in the bottle, producing bubbles that people found to be a pleasant surprise. Pét-Nat is also sort of attached to the Natural Wine movement which, in and of itself, is not without controversy, which we discuss in this episode. Some people find Natural wines and Pét-Nat to be more authentic and unspoiled, even exciting, while others find it to be flawed and funky. In this episode, we tasted and reviewed two Pét-Nat wines that could not be more different, and the ratings of each wi

videoCan Wine Save the Planet Diary Day 04 Wilrdige Winery Washington
Wilridge Vineyard, Winery & Distillery and Paul Beverage Paul Beverage has a name that leans into his industry. As a child, he and his family would go wine tasting in Napa. Of course, at the time, in the late 60s and early 70s, he was too young to taste, but he remembers the smells of the cellars and caves in Napa, and he loved it. This might sound very fancy. It wasn’t. His father was studying to be an Episcopal priest who appreciated wine. The family moved to Idaho, close to the Washington border, and with his father’s love of wine, parishioners would often share a bottle. He met some of the early names in Washington Wine through the parish and then through college in Walla Walla. He worked for a law firm in Seattle and then as an environmental lawyer in DC. He got into brewing (fermented beverages really seemed to enchant him.) Eventually, he opened the winery in Seattle and fought state laws to have a “wine pub” where food could also be served. He still has a Pie Wine B

videoSpanish Wine in 10’ – BETTER than YOU THINK!
While Spain's wine image is often reduced to bold, oaky Rioja reds, the country's vast vineyard area—the largest in the world—yields an incredibly diverse range of wine styles. This diversity is rooted in its numerous official wine regions, known as Denominaciones de Origen (DOs), and its hundreds of native grape varieties. The geographic differences between DOs illustrate this variety. In the cool, wet northwest region of Galicia, the Rías Baixas DO produces crisp, zesty white wines from the Albariño grape, a perfect contrast to the heavy reds typically expected. Conversely, in the hot southern region of Andalucía, the Jerez DO is famous for Sherry, a fortified wine that spans from bone-dry, salty Fino to intensely sweet, thick Pedro Ximénez (PX) dessert styles. Meanwhile, in the northeast's Catalonia, winemakers produce Cava, Spain's acclaimed sparkling wine made using the traditional Champagne method from native grapes, offering a festive alternative to still wines. Nearby, Priorat
