Blaufränkisch of Upstate New York's Finger Lakes Region
The Finger Lakes wine region of upstate New York has always held a special place in my heart. It’s the reason why I first started to get into wine from my annual visits I use to take to the region many years ago. Sadly, I haven’t been back since my first born was just a baby so I’m long overdue considering he is about to be 9 in a couple months. A friend and local fellow wine lover, Alison Miller of Artisan Wine Group , recently had a wine tasting girls' night at her house with Laura of the Wine Travelista , where our theme was the Finger Lakes wine region. We were also joined by our other wine loving friend, Laura of the WineTravelista. I was thrilled to revisit this beloved region. When our World Wine Travel writer's group’s theme this month was featuring lesser known regions, I immediately thought of the Finger Lakes for a couple reasons. One, because I’ve always been a big fan of this region, and two because of my recent wine tasting of the Blau

Who Knew That Meghan Sussex and I Had the Same Wine Taste
I’m one of those people that loves cooking and lifestyle shows - and sports. If they put it on Food Network, chances are, I’m going to watch it. I mean, they even got me to watch the Halloween-inspired “Last Bite Hotel” - which I loved! But, I didn’t have “With Love, Meghan” on my bingo card. I honestly didn’t even know about it. But then the internet blew up and the haters started hating, so I KNEW I was going to watch this show. But then I watched the second episode and it put me to sleep - twice. I was going to throw in the towel. But the more hate I read, the more determined I was to watch it. And you know what happened? But then she uncorked some wine and brought in Roy Choi for some fried chicken and I was all in! She just had to work out the kinks y’all! And hate all y'all want, but I'm going to try that single skillet spaghetti! And let me tell you, the Meghan Sussex wine game is strong! Meghan Sussex pouring one of my faves! Photo Credit | Netflix

Die WEIN-WG meldet sich zurück und bringt direkt die wildesten Frühlingsgefühle mit. Pauline, Nitya und Matthias entführen uns in die Welt des Easy Drinkings. Als Überraschungsgast ist heute Lu am Start. Die 28-Jährige ist eigentlich absolute Quereinsteigerin aus der Startup Bubble, hat Wirtschaft und Soziologie studiert und ihr absolutes Hobby Wein einfach kurzerhand zum Beruf gemacht. Heute schmeißt sie mit ihren Partnern das Pinci in Berlin-Mitte. Die italienische Tagesbar platzt aus allen Nähten und ist der absolute Anlaufpunkt im Kiez geworden. Das große Thema der Folge ist Rosé. Unter Kennern oft verpönt, gilt er meistens einfach nur als flacher Terrassenwein und ist eigentlich reiner Lifestyle. Sind wir mal komplett ehrlich: Man trinkt Rosé zwar, aber so richtig probieren tut man ihn nicht. Genau das ändern wir heute. Wir verkosten uns durch karge Spätburgunder, leichtfüßige südfranzösische Tropfen und ganz viel anderen geilen Scheiß. Nebenbei philosophieren wir über den unvergl

The Hidden Persuaders in Wine Labels.
Originally published in 2015, this post is still relevant. Book covers and wine labels have much in common. They need to be creatively designed to successfully differentiate themselves from their competition. They battle at similar price points, they vie for the same buyers, and they are involved in shelf space warfare for the optimum location. At this point, all else is secondary, for if they do not seize one’s attention and trigger a buying impulse, then a customer is lost—potentially forever. Wine labels and their “hidden persuaders” have always fascinated me, particularly those with attention getting colors and graphics that go beyond the basic presentation of the producer’s name, logo and varietal grape (or appellation). I'm intrigued by their subtle, and often not so subtle, efforts to seize the gaze of roaming and inattentive eyes. Label designers have a number of variables at their disposal when they set out to stir an emotion and c

John Pratt: Oral History Interview
This interview is with John Pratt of Celestina Vineyard. In this interview, John talks about transitioning from working as a teacher in northern California to becoming a grape farmer in southern Oregon. John talks about beginning to enjoy wine in his 20s, noticing that wine could make an ordinary social situation into a more enjoyable and memorable one. Growing up on a farm between Stockton and Lodi, his neighbor grew his own grapes and made his own wine, which inspired John to think about the farming that goes into wine. John discusses working as a teacher for 40 years and beginning to look for a wine region to retire in. Both he and his wife Sherry had visited southern Oregon, and after viewing property there they purchased what is now known as Celestina Vineyard in 2004. They began building a home on the site in 2006, planted vines in 2007, and had their first harvest in 2009. Later in the interview, John talks about his short stint in winemaking before deciding that he preferred to

videoTOWTC: Wines of Slovakia
We are joined by the wonderful Lucia from The Naughty Grape for a trip off the beaten path! Slovakia, nestled in the heart of Central Europe, is an emerging wine destination with a rich history and an exciting future. Though lesser known internationally, Slovak wines are gaining recognition for their quality, diversity, and strong sense of place. Winemaking in Slovakia dates back to Roman times, and the country's vineyards have thrived through centuries of tradition, innovation, and resilience. The country boasts six main wine regions, stretching from the sun-soaked Small Carpathians near Bratislava to the volcanic soils of Tokaj in the southeast. These regions offer a diverse range of microclimates and terroirs, ideal for both native and international grape varieties. White wines dominate production, with crisp, aromatic styles made from varieties like Grüner Veltliner, Welschriesling, and the indigenous Devín and Milia. Red wines are increasingly notable too, especially those craft
podcast· 57:45· Ep 12550 Years of Bubbles at Iron Horse Vineyards with Joy Sterling, Ep. 125
Raise a glass of California sparkling wine! Fifty years ago, when America was celebrating its Bicentennial, and the famous Judgement of Paris put California wine on the world map, Barry and Audrey Sterling founded Iron Horse Vineyards . At the time, the Green Valley of the Russian River Valley AVA was unknown. But the Sterlings saw potential there, and created a sparkling wine house that would go on to earn worldwide acclaim. CEO and second generation vintner Joy Sterling is back for an encore appearance on the pod. She shares how a winery stays relevant for half a century and what it means to keep the Iron Horse spirit galloping into the future. As Joy says, Iron Horse’s 50th anniversary is a toast for the history books. It also coincides with the Chinese lunar year of the horse, Joy’s mother’s Audrey Sterling’s 95th birthday, winemaker David Munksgard’s 30th vintage and America’s 250th anniversary. Iron Horse has played a role in that, with its sparkling being served in seven preside
podcast· 50:33#239. Catas de vinos
En este nuevo episodio de ReWine nos sentamos a la mesa para hablar de algo que muchas veces intimida, pero que en realidad está al alcance de todos: la cata de vino. Desmitificamos el proceso, entendemos de dónde viene, para qué sirve y por qué no se trata de “saber mucho”, sino de aprender a poner atención. Desde sus orígenes —cuando catar era cuestión de supervivencia— hasta los sistemas modernos que hoy nos ayudan a evaluar calidad, entender un vino y disfrutarlo más. Hablamos de los famosos “guiones de cata”, de lo objetivo vs lo subjetivo, de cómo funcionan nuestros sentidos y de por qué catar no es un examen, sino una herramienta para conectar mejor con lo que estamos bebiendo. Un episodio para perderle el miedo al análisis y descubrir que, al final, catar vino es aprender a observar, a sentir y a traducir lo que hay dentro de la copa.

Het moet niet gekker worden, het gaat over alcoholvrij! Jawel, mensen, geen dry januari, ook geen dry april, maar gewoon even kijken hoe het ervoor staat in alcoholvrij wijnland. Er gebeurt veel. Misschien heb je gehoord over die spectaculaire alcoholvrij gerijpte riesling. Een samenwerking tussen Kolonne-Null (zo'n beetje de pioneer van Duitsland op het gebied van alcoholvrije wijnen) en Schloss Johannisberg (old skool wijndomein uit de Rheingau). Ze hebben verschillende rieslings uit de jaren '60 en '70 van Schloss Johannisberg gepakt en daar de alcohol uitgehaald. Magisch. Het smaakt écht naar een gerijpte riesling. Jammer genoeg kost 'ie dan weer wel 100 euro. Te koop bij Kolonne Null Ander mooi nieuws komt uit Sauternes, waar Sigalas-Rabaud een samenwerking is aangegaan met Moderato en de eerste ' Sauternes' zonder alcohol lanceert .
