Want to Taste Wine from the Most Remote Vineyards in the World?

Often overshadowed by its more famous French counterparts, Muscadet is a distinct and delightful white wine hailing from the western Loire Valley, specifically the Pays Nantais region. Far from the rich, oak-aged Chardonnays or aromatic Sauvignon Blancs, Muscadet offers a refreshing and utterly unique expression, making it a hidden gem for those seeking crispness and minerality. At its heart, Muscadet is made exclusively from the Melon de Bourgogne grape, a varietal that thrives in the cool, maritime climate and diverse soils of the region, which range from granite to schist

214: Patrick Riggs - Jack Neal & Son Vineyard Managment
In this episode, viticulturist Patrick Riggs dives deep into the realities of organic farming in Napa Valley. We unpack what it takes to convert vineyards from conventional to organic, from soil testing and rethinking fertilizer programs to choosing equipment for under‑vine weed control and managing more volatile, season‑driven budgets. Patrick explains how tools and machinery for cultivation have evolved, how he approaches weed control without herbicides, and why organic systems demand a more diagnostic, problem‑solving mindset. Patrick also details integrated strategies for managing vine mealybug organically—combining year‑round mating disruption, biological controls like parasitic wasps and mealybug destroyers, and very selective use of organic sprays. From there, we explore floor management, soil moisture dynamics, and irrigation strategy in drought years: when to irrigate, how to prioritize limited water, why shaded interior leaves can be "water hogs," and how canopy design and tr

podcast· 24:16141. A Myth About Motivation
Many people tell me they definitely want to make changes and do something about their drinking but now’s not a great time because they’re not feeling motivated enough. They worry that this lack of motivation means they won’t take action and won’t get their desired results. In this episode, I explode a huge myth about motivation. You’ll never feel the same way about it again. So tune in and find out why you’re feeling blocked and how you can start taking action anyway. Otherwise if you want to drink less, drink rarely or not at all, I can help. And it will be fun learning how to do this too. You know what you want for your life. I know how to help you get it.

podcast· 1h 11m· S7E23Drop Stop: Wine's Big Water Issue
August 2025, a torrid Bordeaux summer: cue thunderbolt. Lafleur , one of Bordeaux's most acclaimed wines, sensationally quits the Pomerol and Bordeaux appellations. At the heart of the issue: water. Truth is, vines need water to survive and produce good wine. Not too much, nor too little. But climate change has thrown a giant spanner into the works - places that used to have just enough rain, now often aren't getting enough. And it's a particular issue in more traditional areas, like Bordeaux, where local appellation rules often forbid irrigation (or other things like mulching, reducing vine density or changing vine varieties). Hence Lafleur's decision. In this extended episode, we hear the full rationale from Lafleur as they release their 2025 wines, which benefitted from their unique 'soil water correction' technique. With Omri Ram we discuss the reality of climate change, why Lafleur is, 'changing to remain the same', how exactly they're irrigating, the key issue of where the water

Namazake — Fresh-Pressed, Unpasteurized Sake — Is Spring’s Most Exciting Release
Recently, in one of the outdoor cabins that comprise the Covid-era “winter village” outside the Japanese restaurant Rule of Thirds in Brooklyn, co-owner George Padilla opened a bottle and poured it into an ochoko, the little ceramic sake cup I had chosen for myself. Then, he poured for himself. We were partaking in a ritual that is seasonal in Japan, the drinking of unpasteurized sake, called namazake.

podcast· 1h 08m· S8E2The Future of Michigan Wine & The "Third Wave" of Viticulture (S8 E2)
Stop playing it safe—it's time for Michigan to find its unique identity through small, thoughtful production. The "Grape to Plate" segment is a masterclass on slow-rendering duck breast with lavender, and we learn the tells of "tasting room theatre". In episode two of season eight of The Real Wine Show, hosts Chaad Thomas and Matt Kuhr announce show sponsor Gabriel Group ( www.gabrielgrp.com ) and introduce panelists Alan Collins (Michigan vineyard project advocating risk-taking for a uniquely Michigan wine identity), wine traveler/judge Bobby Frank, and chef/winemaker Jason Berthold (promoting aging high-acid white wines). They discuss three news topics: billionaire winery acquisitions and their impact on wine’s “soul,” proposed 2026 U.S. ingredient-label transparency and consumer reactions to additives, and AI-driven wine recommendations in tasting rooms versus human sommeliers. During glass checks they taste wines including aged Muscadet and other bottles. The new “Grape to Plate” s

videoCan Wine Save The Planet, Regenerative Organic Alliance
There are several organizations out there for Regenerative Viticulture & Agriculture: Regenerative Agriculture Foundation, Grounded, RegenAG, Regeneration International, renature, EcoFarm, Kiss the Ground, and others. We are most familiar with the Regenerative Organic Alliance. The ROA (Regenerative Organic Alliance) is an organization that certifies farms practicing regenerative agriculture. Its motto is "Farm like the world depends on it." It was founded by the Rodale Institute, Dr. Bronner’s, and Patagonia. There are guidelines for 3 important pillars Soil Health & Land Management: Here, they promote keeping the ground covered, low- to no-till farming, composting, and the non-use of toxic chemicals for fertilizers and pesticides.
