videoSon vs. Dad Wine Tasting Wars - El Recio - Matsu
Matsu is the essence of a sustainable viticulture project. From among the extraordinary quality vineyards that abound in the Toro DO, Matsu’s Technical Director, Raúl Acha, selects authentic centuries-old jewels with which it is possible to obtain an exceptional grape. These vineyards are between 80 and 100 years old with very low yields per vine, cultivated according to the tradition of not interfering with the logical processes dictated by nature. This ancient philosophy, together with privileged climatic conditions, make it possible for the viticulture taking place here to be practically artisanal. As a result, each year they obtain exceptional Tinta de Toro, a Tempranillo grape type that contributes an enormous personality to the wine. Matsu elaborate four wines that are a true reflection of the unique Toro land and climate and the people who work there.

Georgia Is Famous for Orange Wine. It Can Do So Much More.
A growing contingent of Georgia wine industry insiders are waging an informal influence campaign to elevate the country’s vast array of wines. It’s a battle of perception: Although the number of Georgian wines exported to the United States hovers just under a million bottles—an increase of more than 3.5 times over between 2012 and 2022—Georgian wine largely remains a specialty offering. That’s because it’s closely associated with amber wine, also called orange wine. This white wine is aged on skins, which lends it a signature orange hue. Georgia has become known for producing these amber wines in qvevri, or large clay pots, which are generally buried underground and fall into the natural wine category. They have been a part of Georgia’s history for thousands of years. Source The post Georgia Is Famous for Orange Wine. It Can Do So Much More. appeared first on Wines of Georgia .

podcast· 52:05· S6E21AO YUN - The Insider's Guide
In fiction, Shangri-La was a mythical place of boundless human wisdom and agelessness. These days, after China re-named a city in north-west Yunnan Province, it's the backdrop of a potential game-changer for Chinese wine. This particular backdrop is forbidding. Think: precipitous mountain gorges above the raging Mekong River at nearly 3,000 metres altitude. A patchwork of small-holding vineyards cling to the hillsides. Prunings are fed to yaks. Tea, tobacco and mushrooms are Yunnan's historic crops. No wonder the wine potential in the Meili Mountain region long remained hidden. That is, until a particularly stubborn and resilient Australian winemaker, Tony Jordan, embarked on an arduous search on behalf of global luxury group LVMH to unearth a Chinese Grand Cru terroir. He found Shangri-La. But would his bet pay off? In this episode we discover the intriguing story of Ao Yun - how (on earth) it came to be, just how challenging this operation is to run, and most importantly - what's the

podcast· 1h 24m· Ep 424With $25 In His Pocket, He Left Iran at 13 Years Old. This Is His Story. Zaya Younan.
I was asked to taste a wine and give an opinion of its quality. It was very good. A St. Emilion from a Chateau I did not know. The wine had never been in the US, and the wholesale company was new to the idea of even carrying a St. Emilion. My curiosity required me to ask the wholesaler, "Maybe the Chateau owner will come on the show?" "Let me check." "He would love it" So then I though I'd best look up the guest (this was one hour before his arrival). OMG..this Zaya Younan is a formidable businessman with over 1200 patents, 5 hotels, three golf courses, a fine cigar company, and now 2 Chateaux in France. I was humbled; for him taking the time to drive to my studio to be on the podcast, shows serious humility....but maybe I shouldn't be so surprised. This is often a trait of successful people: Do what it takes. Zaya Yonan's story is so cinematic, you'd think Spielberg had optioned it already—after all, how often do you meet someone who bought his ticket to America at age 13 by painting
podcast· 26:34· S5E1120 Divin, le podcast du vin #80 : les primeurs de Bordeaux, à bout de souffle ?
Créées à l'origine pour financer l'achat de matériel phytosanitaire, les ventes de vin de Bordeaux en primeur sont-elles à bout de souffle ? Pourquoi le système s'est grippé ? Comment se présente le millésime 2024 ? Pour en débattre, j’ai eu le plaisir d’accueillir au Wine Hub de Bordeaux, deux figures du monde viticole bordelais. A ma droite, Laurent Fortin, Directeur Général de Forwine & More, le family office de l’entrepreneur Christian Roulleau , propriétaire de Château Dauzac, 5ème Grand Cru Classé en AOP Margaux et du Domaine de la Bégude en AOP Bandol. Laurent a également un pied dans le négoce puisqu’il dirige Maison Montagnac et Delta Négoce . A ma gauche, Jean-Baptiste Duquesne, propriétaire de Château Cazebonne dans le sud des Graves et fondateur du collectif « Bordeaux Pirate » que j’avais déjà reçu en 2023 (épisode #50) Et bien entendu, on évoque le millésime 2024 qui a été marqué par des conditions météorologiques compliquées.

podcast· 3:18Pourquoi, 9 fois sur 10, on ne vous sert pas un véritable kir ?
Vous croyez connaître le kir, mais êtes-vous bien certains que ce qu’on vous sert dans votre verre en est vraiment un ? Dans la majorité des cas… ce n’est pas le cas. Pourquoi ? Parce que non, un kir, ce n’est pas juste «du vin blanc avec de la crème de cassis». Ça, c’est un blanc-cassis. Et c’est pas tout à fait la même histoire. Le kir, le vrai, est une affaire 100% bourguignonne. Il porte le nom du chanoine Kir, résistant, député, maire de Dijon et grand promoteur du patrimoine local. Dans les années 1950, le chanoine a un objectif : mettre en valeur le bourgogne aligoté, ce vin blanc un peu rustique, pas toujours très sexy, mais bien de chez lui. Et là, plutôt que de chanoiner en rond, il trouve une idée brillante : le marier à une crème de cassis produite localement. Le résultat plaît, et devient rapidement l’apéritif officiel de la mairie de Dijon. Succès immédiat. Dans ce nouvel épisode de Parlons Vin, la journaliste Alicia Dorey vous aide à démasquer les faux kirs. Et n'oubliez
