podcast· 41:19Coravin with Greg Lambrecht
In our latest podcast, host and Master Sommelier Chris Tanghe connects with Greg Lambrecht, the founder of Coravin, to discuss how the Coravin came to be, the science behind it, and how to maximize its efficiency. Greg has a background in medical device design and developed the Coravin prototype while drinking solo when expecting his first child. He wanted to reduce waste by having a glass of wine from any bottle without allowing oxygen ingress. Initially intended for consumers, the Coravin has greatly impacted the wine industry by expanding the possibilities of what a by-the-glass program can be at restaurants and wine bars across the world, with some serving hundreds of wines by the ounce or glass.

From the Roundtable: How can we compare sustainability standards?
There are over 40 wine sustainability standards around the world. This is understandable given the fact that sustainability in wine is so context dependent. It’s also incredibly confusing. With so much variability, how can you assess how these certifications and standards compare against each other? This is where the SWR ‘ Global Reference Framework ’ (GRF) comes in. As the first global statement of what sustainability means in the wine sector, the GRF is a tool which will enable transparent benchmarking of wine sustainability standards around the world. A pilot benchmarking of 6 standards is currently underway, with the aim to test the applicability of the GRF and the scoring matrix. In this short podcast Toby Webb, founder and executive director of the SWR , and director of research and standards Dr Peter Stanbury share the latest updates on the standards benchmarking project and future plans.

[Ep 113] This week Lyle and I are in the second biggest city in Croatia – Split. Split has everything you need for the perfect holiday – clear warm water for swimming, idyllic islands, forest walks, history, food and wine and stunning views and for those who like it – a great night life. We share the fun hike we did through a forest to a secluded beach, a speed boat tour to gorgeous Croatian islands, all about the history and amazing architecture of the 1,700 year old Emperor’s palace and all the best places to eat and drink throughout the plazas and squares in the old town. We had a jam-packed 4 days in Split and loved every minute and would highly recommend it as a great spot to stay when in Croatia.

Things are changing in Bordeaux.
The red wines of Bordeaux were my first love. Initially, because of Hugh Johnson, one of the best (if not the best) wine writers of the past forty plus years, and secondly because of Robert M. Parker, who created the 100 point rating system. Johnson stirred my interest (in his first book titled Wine ) when he described Bordeaux wines, quite simply, as being “beautiful,” much like great art or mood-moving music. And Parker completed the attention grab with his effusively written, bi-monthly wine reviews, particularly the 1982 Bordeaux critique. But my heart sank when I saw this headline in a recent Decanter magazine article: “Bordeaux gives the go ahead for new grapes.” Because of the inexorable march of global warming, France’s national appellation body is looking to six new grapes, (four red, two white) “to mitigate the impact of climate change without diluting the identity of Bordeaux wines.” Bordeaux aficionados know that the five main red grapes that underlie th

podcast· 51:09· S1E132Are Trader Joe’s Grand Reserve Wines Good? (Reviews of their Chardonnay, Meritage, and GSM)
A common question we get is just how good are in-house wine brands like Trader Joe’s or Costco Kirkland Signature wines. This week, we tackle the 3rd highest tier of Trader Joe’s in-house wines, the Grand Reserve level, which is usually priced at $12.99 - which is a killer price IF they are any good. This week we also went out on a limb to try wines that we would not normally choose but that we know are very popular for the majority of wine drinkers, so we give our review of the Chardonnay, GSM, and Meritage. If you don’t know what GSM or Meritage wines are, don’t worry, we give a quick run-down of what they are, and these are blends you really need to know because they are two of the class red wine blends, and are the basis for most red wine blends. We found two of the wines to be quite good, but one was a clunker that may have burned a hole in our stomachs. We also give a quick review of our recent trip to Barcelona, Spain and some things we learned there about traveling to wine area
videoLa Vieille Ferme: Ferme to Table (01/2023)
Jean-Pierre Perrin established La Vieille Ferme over 45 years ago, as an affordable straightforward Rhône wine to sell by direct mail to French wine lovers. He used the same grape varieties in similar proportions to those planted at the family’s Château de Beaucastel and employed a similar vinification process. In 1980, Vineyard Brands introduced La Vieille Ferme into the United States, and the response was an immediate, overwhelming acceptance and an outpouring of critical acclaim. Today the next generation of Perrin family winemakers – Marc, Pierre, Thomas, Cécile, Charles, Matthieu and César – have joined Jean-Pierre and François continuing La Vieille Ferme’s dedication to quality, value, and innovation with the still wines and, since 2019, La Vieille Ferme Sparkling brut and rosé, under the Vin de France appellation.
