podcast· 1h 22m· Ep 102IWP Ep102 Amanda McKenna - Yarrow Wine Co and Matt Crutchfield - Matt Crutchfield Wines
IWP Ep102 Amanda McKenna - Yarrow Wine Co and Matt Crutchfield - Matt Crutchfield Wines. I recently sat down with Amanda McKenna of Yarrow Wine Co and Matt Crutchfield of Matt Crutchfield wines. They are both making incredibly well regarded wines for newer projects. We discuss a lot of the nuances and challenges faced by self funded winemakers who are starting their own projects. Like many of the folks I talk with, both have a day job on top of their own project, in this case both work at the wonderful Ryme Cellars. Both Amanda and Matt are making these unique wines in the styles that they enjoy. It really is worth it if you’re able to support smaller producers like them and their colleagues. There truly is an amazing wine culture of younger and smaller producers in California. You can find Amanda's wines at https://yarrowwineco.com/ or Yarrowwineco on instagram and Matt's wines at https://mattcrutchfieldwines.com/ or mattcrutcfieldwines on instagram. I hope you’ll try both producers w

1/26/25: BERO's Kingston Golden Pils
I don't think I've ever talked about it here on the blog, but I'm a huge Spider-Man guy. The character's been my favorite superhero since I was a kid. When Tom Holland took the mantle as the MCU Webhead, I was impressed with how seamlessly he could be both Spidey and Peter Parker. When he announced BERO last year, I told myself I'd be on the lookout for it for this year's Dry January. I found a variety pack of the stuff at Target the other week, picked it up, and drank all but one. That's what we're doing today: BERO's Kingston Golden Pils. Holland's BERO's founder, but Grant Wood is its brewmaster. The company's goal is to make non-alcoholic beer that is just beer. Without fancy frills. The wort they make for each batch is much lower in ABV than your standard beer's wort. They then ferment with a yeast that doesn't touch the malt sugar, meaning that those sugars aren't converted to alcohol. If you want more on the brewery or the beer, here's their "Our Story" page .

podcast· 3:29QUAL A DIFERENÇA ENTRE VINHO E MISTELA?
Mistela e vinho podem parecer semelhantes à primeira vista, mas são produtos distintos, definidos tanto pelo processo de elaboração quanto pela legislação. Neste vídeo, explicamos de forma clara por que a fermentação alcoólica é o fator decisivo que separa o vinho da mistela — e como a adição direta de álcool ao mosto altera completamente o resultado final. Você vai entender o que é a mistela do ponto de vista técnico, como funciona o processo de mutage, por que os açúcares naturais da uva são preservados e de que forma esse produto é utilizado tradicionalmente, seja como bebida em si ou como base para vinhos doces e fortificados. Um guia essencial para quem quer aprofundar o conhecimento além do rótulo. 🍷 TEMAS ABORDADOS NO VÍDEO 🍇 O que é vinho segundo a legislação 🥃 O que caracteriza a mistela ⚖️ Diferença legal e técnica entre vinho e mistela 🍬 Açúcar natural e ausência de fermentação 🧪 O processo de mutage 🇪🇸 Uso tradicional da mistela na vitivinicultura 🍷 Mistela como bas
podcast· 47:18· Ep 498From Industrial Vineyards to Artisan Wines: A Conversation on Wine's True Identity
In as large as the wine trade is, it is really a small, tight knit industry. It takes a certain love of the lifestyle, the product and the people to survive, or shall I say flourish. I've been following the career and passion of Master of Wine Isabelle Legeron. So intrigued I am, that when I learned her famed wine consortium, RAW wine, was in Paris the week I was attending Wine Paris, I had to catch up with her and learn her latest. Isabelle Legeron has never been one for convention—unless, of course, by "convention" you mean redefining the world of natural wine while collecting accolades like France's Légion d'honneur. In this illuminating episode, listeners will savor Isabelle Legeron's passionate vision for returning wine to its roots as an authentic, cultural expression—connecting land, grower, and glass in a way that today's industrial winemaking has all but forgotten. As founder of the RAW WINE movement, Isabelle Legeron draws back the curtain on the additives, shortcuts, and mar

7 facts to help make sense of Burgundy wine
7 FACTS TO HELP MAKE SENSE OF BURGUNDY WINE … & UNDERSTANDING BURGUNDY WINE LABELS How are you supposed to make sense of Burgundy wines? Understanding Burgundy wine labels can seem impossible. Sometimes it is even difficult to know whether you have selected a bottle of red wine or white wine without an expert knowledge of the region and its producers. But it is worth finding out a little about the region’s wines because Burgundy, or Bourgogne as it is known in France, is one of the oldest wine-producing regions in Europe and has a reputation for producing some of the world’s best wines. So let’s tackle this relatively small but daunting area with its complex labelling and numerous wine producers often with the same family name. Here is Burgundy in a nutshell, all you need to know to start you off tasting Burgundy wines.
