166: Shawn Johnson - Amulet Estate
I recently sat down with Shawn Johnson of Amulet Estate, who shared the revolution in winemaking processes brought by innovative software and fermentation techniques. His story intertwines with mine as I recall my years learning the winemaking craft from mentors like Mark Harold and the brilliant minds at Nicholson Ranch. Come with us behind the scenes of Amulet Winery, where attention to detail and a passion for quality over quantity yield wines that evoke the land and the artists who shape them. From fermentation to the precision required in blending, you'll get a rare glimpse into the winemaking techniques that elevate the Cabernet Sauvignon. As we round out our conversation, get a glimpse into the everyday adventures of the vineyard—from sugar levels and acidity to the use of native yeasts and oak influence. You'll hear firsthand accounts of the historical importance captured in each vintage and how equipment choice and yeasts can bring out the flavors that are a wine's signature.

In today’s episode we are giving you all the information about cruising on the royal Caribbean’s Quantum of the Seas ship. We sailed out of Brisbane Australia on a 7 day South Pacific Island cruise. This is the first cruise I have done as a passenger and the first one for Lyle in over 30 years – so we have all the helpful info you need if you are thinking about cruising for the first time – or if you just love everything about cruising, or even if you’re not sure cruising is for you.

You will also hear the best cruise story ever – as I said, I had never cruised as a passenger, but I did work on a cruise ship 14 years ago – and I’m not going to give anything else away – only to say I bet you have NEVER done a cruise like the one I did in March 2010!

Ep 169: Everything you need to know about Super Tuscan wines
To download the transcript CLICK HERE In today's episode, I have more than your average wine story. I will be talking all about Super Tuscans: An Italian wine category created from rebellion and innovation when a group of daring winemakers decided to break all the rules, planting French grapes in Italian soil. In the 1980s, these wines took the wine world by storm and they still are some of the most highly desirable wines in today's wine scene. So, by the end of this episode, you will know the history behind this wine style, the key players and the desirable wines, but also I will be talking about some more affordable versions too. And you should hopefully also feel more excitement when opening up a Super Tuscan knowing it is a wine that broke all tradition, represents innovation and is a perfect blend of history and modernity.

podcast· 32:283x20: Cosa abbiniamo a Bolgheri DOC Superiore “Marianova 2016” di Michele Satta?
Benvenuti a un'altra entusiasmante puntata de "Il vino lo porto io"! Oggi ci immergeremo nel mondo affascinante dei vini Bolgheri DOC, esplorando un progetto che incarna l'innovazione e il talento della nuova generazione di vignaioli. Il nostro protagonista di oggi è un vino che segna il primo passo di questa nuova era presso una delle cantine più prestigiose della rinomata denominazione Bolgheri DOC. Parliamo del Bolgheri DOC Superiore "Marianova 2016" dell'azienda Michele Satta. Ma cosa rende questo vino così speciale? Beh, per cominciare, è un blend insolito per i Bolgheri, poiché non segue la classica formula delle uve del taglio bordolese. Invece, combina in modo audace l'autoctono Sangiovese con il vibrante Syrah, conferendo al vino una personalità unica e affascinante. Accompagnando questa straordinaria degustazione, lo chef Gabriele Palermo ci delizierà con un piatto creato appositamente per esaltare le sfumature di questo vino eccezionale.

Das ist die Preisfrage, die im Moment noch keiner beantworten kann. Aber man kann ja mal spekulieren. Damit die Spekulation ein bisschen Substanz hat, erläutert Felix noch ein wenig die Rahmendaten der Märkte, denen er bei beruflichen Recherchen zuletzt begegnet ist. Und dann ist da noch die Sache mit dem Mais. Der ist ‚de-commodi´tized‘. Und das hat viel mehr mit dem Weinmarkt zu tun, als man auf den ersten Blick glauben mag.
