videoSon vs. Dad Wine Tasting Wars - San Martin - Prada A Tope
His name is José Luis Prada Méndez, but always ask for Prada. He's been called crazy many times, as many times as they’ve said his dreams wouldn't come true. Later they changed their word choice to 'prophet'. Prada´s phylosophy is clear: To respect nature without chemical products or fertilizers so that each harvest is different, marks the character of the climatic year, and endures once the wine is uncorked. In the vineyards surrounding the antique restored Palace of Canedo and in others located nearby but at a higher altitude to make better use of the daytime and to avoid excess humidity, they cultivate the varieties that have put the El Bierzo wines on the map: red Mencía and white Godello.

Ep 225: Part 2 of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in Wine - Women, Wine & War: Heya Wines Reimagines Lebanese Winemaking
In this episode, we head to the mountains of Northern Lebanon to meet Michelle and Claudine, neighbors, best friends, and the visionary founders of Heya Wines, a natural winery rooted in inclusion, heritage, and community. Heya Wines (meaning “She” in Arabic) is more than just a label, it’s a movement. From championing gender equity and employing Syrian refugee women, working with indigenous grapes and fermenting with apples in response to Lebanon’s energy crisis, every bottle tells a story of purpose and place. We dive into their hands-on winemaking approach, explore the beauty of high-altitude terroir, and taste their soulful wines, from Nour, a textured white blend of direct press Obeideh & White Grenache to Kanz, a red made with carbonic maceration and aged in amphora. We also hear about the challenges of making wine in a region grappling with instability, and how the power of community, resilience, and female solidarity fuels every step. This is a story of women rewriting what it
podcast· 21:59· S3E2929: Christian Seely and the '61 Palmer to Go
He's the man behind some of the most prestigious names in wine, including Bordeaux's Pichon Baron and Portugal's Quinta do Noval, and now AXA Millésimes managing director Christian Seely is behind the mic on the newest episode of Wine Spectator's Straight Talk podcast. "People do not drink Château Pichon because they're trying to get the alcohol content," Seely tells Straight Talk host James Molesworth. "There are a lot cheaper ways of doing that. They drink these wines because they love them. And we have to make sure that the wines we are making give people something to discover, so that magical moment really means something." Seely also shares memories of growing up with his wine writer father, the bottle they shared that sparked Seely's passion, and many more highlights—and insights—from his long and accomplished career in wine.

podcast· 17:30· Ep 9009 Do you need to have a funeral for wine?
Despite years of alcohol-free time and all the knowledge, experience, and professional work, I still had a little niggling voice in my head telling me I was missing out. But like a toxic 'friend', it might be time for a break. If you're over the hangovers and overthinking your drinking, then it's time to write a eulogy for wine. In this episode, I talk about how to say a fond farewell to your 'best friend' for a while and tell your subconscious mind that this is it. It's not forever, there's no need to declare that you'll never drink again. But you know that a break would be a good idea. And how much better things will be on the other side of the bottle. Please share your eulogy with me on Instagram, and send me a DM at https://www.instagram.com/iquitwine_withsarah/ Or you can email me at iqwwithsarah@gmail.com as I love seeing your emails.

videoHubinsky - Unique Slovakian Natural Wines
Farming 10 hectares of vines in the Little Carpathian mountains of the Bratislavia region of Slovakia, the brothers of Hubinsky inherited vines from their parents in 2004 and made their first vintage in 2008. The pair, David and younger brother Peter have been steadily moving more towards the natural wine movement, using less sulphur, if any and working in a more holistic approach in line with the lunar cycle. We find their wines to be extremely exciting, especially for the attractive prices. Fans of Riesling should not miss their Rizling Rynsky Hausberg, whilst wine nerds will be impressed with their Concrete Pyramid made with Grüner Veltliner. We also think their Devin is a SUPER INTERESTING expression, well worth trying and quite unusual.

podcast· 33:38· S1E174Special Episode! Meet the (Wine) Makers #16: Kurtis Ogasawara, Director of Winemaking at Robert Mondavi Winery
How did a kid with no background in winemaking, a D1 scholarship to wrestle in college, and an interest in Mechanical Engineering end up making wine at one of the most famous wineries in Napa? You could call it fate. This week, we had the honor of sitting down with Kurtis Ogasawara who is the Director of Winemaking at Robert Mondavi Winery. Like a lot of winemakers we have met, he didn’t start out expecting to be a winemaker, and began with a background in science and math. But, maybe the most amazing thing about Kurtis is that his experience as a Division 1 college athlete has influenced how he sees the winemaking process - which he likens to a team because of all the different people and talents that have to come together to make something special. Join us for this fun and fascinating interview, and gain a new appreciation for this storied winery and one of its amazing winemakers. Send us a Text Message and we'll respond in our next episode!
