podcast· 43:40· S1E163WTF is Kerner?
Now this is an exciting wine! We didn’t have super high expectations going in - the name Kerner does not scream “adventure” - but we are telling you this is a white wine that is worth seeking out. Some call it one of the best white wines in Italy, and after tasting it, we agree, and so we are wondering why it does not get more love! It is a grape originally created in Germany as a cross between Riesling and Schiava/Trollinger to be a workhorse and handle cold weather, the Italians have made it into a rich, complex, and beautiful aromatic white wine. Confused about why this German wine is being made in Germany?!? Listen in and we’ll tell you why! Both the wines we tried in this episode are excellent, and what is fun is that they are both a little different from each other - the Abbazia wine we would call adventurous and worth seeking out, and the winemaker is no slouch, having won the Gambero Rosso Winemaker of the Year in 2009. Trust us, this is an episode you will want to listen to. W

podcast· 1h 08m· Ep 76IWP Ep76 George and John Jarvis - Vine Hill Santa Cruz Pioneer Winegrowers - Historical Episode
Historical Episode IWP Ep76 George and John Jarvis - Vine Hill Santa Cruz Pioneer Winegrowers Today we’re talking about George and John Jarvis. Pioneer winegrowers in the Vine Hill area of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Their story is a good one and because we haven’t been in the Santa Cruz Mountains much for the historical episodes, there is some background info and other fun details, like 2 Charlies, the 3rd town in California and fires. One thing about the Jarvis’s is that real exact details are lacking a little. There is more conflicting info about them than most of our subjects. None of it is make or break stuff, it’s a year here, some acreage there, a couple thousand gallons more or less. Some of the archives of Santa Cruz County have been affected by fires and floods over the last 150 years. Because they were early on in the Santa cruz Mountains, they speculated on land a lot, so they would buy and sell and have some repossessed before buying a portion back, things like that. I tried
