Ep 165: You Down with ROC, Yeah You Know Me – Featuring Tablas Creek | Maha Estate
🍇 Where Wine Takes You – Episode Highlights 🍷 Today, we’re talking about dirt. Not just any dirt, but living soil. The kind that breathes, holds water, stores carbon, and might just be the difference between surviving the next 50 years or not. Because right now, something big is happening in Paso Robles. If you haven’t heard the term yet, you’re about to hear it a lot more. Regenerative Organic Certified. ROC. And here’s the thing. This isn’t a buzzword. This isn’t marketing. This is a full-on shift in how we farm, how we think, and how we take care of the land. And Paso is leading that charge on a global level. In this episode, Adam sits down with two of Paso Robles’ most forward-thinking minds, Jason Haas of Tablas Creek Vineyard and Cris Cherry of Villa Creek and MAHA Estate , to kick off a special series exploring the future of farming and wine. This isn’t just about what’s in your glass. It’s about what’s happening beneath it. Soil health, farmworker fairness, and animal welfare

The Wine Makers – Jennifer Rue, Oakville Ranch Vineyards
Jennifer Rue has been the winemaker for Oakville Ranch Vineyards for more than a decade. Her connection to the site runs much deeper. Her career has effectively orbited Oakville Ranch from the start. Her first winery job sourced fruit from the vineyard. She later worked for an early iteration of Oakville Ranch, then spent years at Miner Family Winery working with relatives of the ranch’s ownership. Different roles, same vineyard. Again and again. Along the way, she has worked along side Phil Coturri and Enterprise Vineyards to help this important, historical site realize its potential and attain its rightful place among the vaunted vineyards of the hallowed appellation. We talk a lot about the “only Grenache in Oakville,” but we’ve never really broken down the ranch itself,how it’s laid out, what makes it distinct, and why it behaves differently than the valley floor. Jennifer sat down with Brian and Sam and we got into it. She also pulled a couple of unicorns, a 2015 Oakville Ranch Ch
podcast· 36:31Clark Smith Double Gold Again
This episode marks another Clark Smith Double Gold win, on California Wine Country with Dan Berger and Daedalus Howell. This is also Clark’s 12th time as a guest on the show. Clark Smith’s first CWC episode was this one in 2017 . It was one of our very first shows! Today we can say he has filled the case, with his 12th guest appearance. No other guest has been on the show as often as Clark Smith, and few of them have won as many awards. One of the wines they will taste today is a recent Double-Gold medal winner. Clark begins by saying that he cut his teeth on European wine. That means wines that are balanced, that don’t have too much alcohol and will age well. “I don’t like to release them until they are ready and that means sometimes waiting 6 or 8 years in the barrel.” He doesn’t like woody wines. The barrels he owns are over 20 years old. Double Gold for the Petit Verdot Clark is one of the only winemakers who makes w

podcast· 1h 04m· S9E1Season 9 - Episode 1 - Wild Child & Maypop Wine Co.
Season 9, Episode 1: Maypop Wine Co. & Wild Child Wines In the premiere of Season 9, we uncork two boundary-pushing forces redefining Oregon wine: Maypop Wine Co. and Wild Child Wines . Maypop Wine Co., founded by winemaking duo Shea Guevara and Vince Kelsey, is a love letter to the Willamette Valley’s untapped potential. With deep roots in generational winemaking, they’ve traded tradition for exploration—intentionally stepping outside the region’s Pinot Noir spotlight to champion underrepresented varietals like Albariño, Gamay, and Riesling. Their approach is refreshingly low-intervention, allowing the vineyard and vintage to speak with minimal interference, resulting in vibrant, expressive wines that are as playful as they are thoughtful. Sustainability and innovation are woven into their DNA, from reusable glass to experimental fermentation techniques, all grounded in a philosophy that wine should be accessible, unpretentious, and enjoyed anytime. Wild Child Wines, led by seasoned s

Session 146 - What Value in Beer?
Yikes, where did the last couple of months go? The cynic side of me says "right down the shitter" whereas the more considered side says "life's just busy". Anyway, it's time for the Session again, and this month is being hosted by Ding and he has asked us to consider the "value" of beer , in the sense of: "when I part with the cash, no matter how large or small the amount, does what I receive in return meet or exceed the value of said cash? Subjective? Sure, but we all have our own sense of value." Yeah, very subjective topic here, but one that I feel gets to the very heart of why we drink beer at all, or at least why we don't submit ourselves to the tyranny of the lowest common denominator brew that is ubiquitous with wherever we live. That's not to say that industrial brews like Budweiser, Carling Black Label, Stella Artois, or Gambrinus are inherently bad, just that they lack value for me. So, yes, let's think about value, at least the word itself. Value is by its very

Duration Crisps and the Emergence of the Savoury IPA
What does it take to start a beer trend? When Brut IPA emerged from San Francisco’s now shuttered Social Kitchen and Brewery back in 2018, the idea was quickly picked up and copied the world over. The style fast-became a simulacrum of itself; based on an idea of a beer, rather than any tasting experiences or proper, boots-on-the ground research. It didn’t matter that the idea of using enzymes to ferment dry was an already years-old brewing technique used, for example, since 2012 by Cornwall’s St. Austell Brewery in its Big Job IPA. What mattered most was that there was a bandwagon to be leapt upon, and countless new SKUs to be sold. Every new version seemed like a less-good example of the one that came before it. I wasn’t surprised when the trend petered out to a whimper just months later. When Cold IPA arrived on the scene in 2022, its existence was met with a similar ‘creative’ fervour. I was lucky enough to interview its originator, Kevin Davey of Oregon’s Wayfinder Beer, around the

videoThe ‘’Heavy Bottle'' BIAS: How Packaging CHANGES THE TASTE of wine!
Our latest video, presented by Bordeaux-trained French winemaker and host Julien Miquel, delves into the bias inherent in how consumers perceive wine quality based on its packaging, particularly the weight and thickness of the glass bottle. Miquel observes that more expensive, "premium" wines are consistently sold in heavier, thicker-glass bottles with fancier, more elaborate labels, while cheaper wines use light, thin glass. This practice is intentional, playing on the consumer's subconscious assumption that heavy bottle equals good wine. Miquel explains that this premium packaging—featuring complex, expensive labels with special paper, inks, embossing, and varied finishes, along with thick, heavy bottles often featuring a deep punt—costs wineries more money. This cost is passed on, reinforcing the link between high price and elaborate packaging. Critically, some bottles can weigh as much as 1 kg (2.2 pounds) for the glass alone, compared to the wine's weight of 750 grams (1.6 pounds
