video2022/23 FROM GLOOM TO OPTIMISM?
"There is a marked difference between blind optimism and brutal, active optimism. The former is simply wishful thinking, but the latter is an absolutely essential strategy for business growth in tough economic conditions." This was one of the key insights from our first webinar of the year, which tackled opportunities and threats that face the South African Wine Industry in 2023. The discussion opened with a recap of market conditions in 2022, and the key learnings gleaned. The discussion took a refreshing turn as our panellists identified positive market conditions that will surely provide producers and members of the trade with the courage to be front-footed in their business strategies for the year ahead.
podcast· 51:46· S1E133Are We Wrong About Oaky Chardonnay?

Chardonnay is the most popular white wine in the world, but it is also a very polarizing wine - some people love it and will drink nothing else, and others won’t even touch it. We are more on the “it depends” end of things - we love unoaked Chardonnay, and are finding that Chardonnays that are well balanced are very pleasant and drinkable.

We’ll tell you how to find Chardonnays that have just the right oak profile for you. And we have some fun learning more about a wine we would normally never consider. As a bonus, we also talk about why oaky and buttery, two very common descriptors for Chardonnay, are di

The Wine Makers – Isabella Morano Isa Wines
Isabella Morano knew she wanted to make wine as a child on a family trip to Italy, identifying with how folks in her ancestral homeland connected over food and wine. However back home in Wisconsin, the only thing keeping teenage Isabella’s wine dreams alive was Anthony Bourdain TV shows. As soon as she was able she moved to California and started working her way up the wine ladder. Now she has several vintages of Isa Wines under her belt, specializing in vibrant Sauvignon Blancs, and a new vineyard planted in Majorca, Spain. Check out drinkisawines and @isa.wines on Instagram.

podcast· 37:35The Return of Winemaker Carol Shelton
Winemaker Carol Shelton is back on California Wine Country with Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger. CWC co-host Dan Berger is away this week. Carol is one of our most distinguished winemakers and a regular on this show. Her last time here was last January, in this episode with Dan Berger and with Harry Duke sitting in for Steve Jaxon. Carol Shelton graduated from UC Davis in 1978. This year will be her 48th harvest, and her 25th harvest for her own brand.

Carol Shelton worked for Mondavi, in Australia, in the Central Valley, for Rodney Strong for 20 years, for the Windsor Wines label. Zinfandel is her favorite varietal. It makes up about 70% of her production now. She wanted to show the world that Zin could be as noble a grape as Pinot and Cab. Old vines of Zin have a unique concentration of flavor. Wild Thing Carol Shelton Wines is located in a business park on Coffey Lane. This weekend
