Ep 86: Wine Dish Decanted – Billy Grant | Wes Hagen

Ventoux: Next Century Wines

It's a wine region variously described as, 'dynamic', whose wines are undergoing a quality 'revolution', and memorably compared to South Africa's uber-cool Swartland. It's also got a big old mountain on its picture postcard. Not to mention truffles galore. This is Ventoux . And we want to take you on a journey of discovery, to meet the people, explore the places, get a feel for the wines...and generally understand why Ventoux is worth your time and attention. The mountain, it turns out, is important. It makes this one of the coolest appellations in the southern Rhône, giving the wines freshness and vitality. Peter slogs (metaphorically) up to the peak to prove the point. It also helps in the ongoing efforts to adapt to climate change. As for the wines...we dive in, exploring the region's unique whites, rosés and reds, the latter constituting the majority of production. And we explore ways in which the wines are changing and evolving with the future in mind. We ask why so many outsiders

Blindflug 123: Handel im Wandel

Es sind sehr turbulente Zeiten für den Weinhandel. Dem Dekonsum beim Wein stand eine erfreuliche Steigerung der Ausgabenbereitschaft seitens der Konsumenten gegenüber, bevor Inflation und Energiekrise dieses Plus mehr als fraßen. Dabei trifft ein erheblicher Teil der Kostenexplosion vor allem den Distanzhandel. Wird der klassische Handel davon profitieren? Wissen wir nicht, aber wir legen mal die Situation dar und wagen ein paar Gedankenspiele.

Friends of the Pod Series --Ep 493: Marina Marcarino of Punset; Barbaresco's Most Forward-Looking Producer Returns to WFNP

I first spoke to Marina Marcarino of Punset in 2017 and I was fascinated by her story and loved her wines . We became friends and I've visited her over the years and keep in touch with her for a pulse on what is happening in the vineyards and wineries of Barbaresco, where Punset is located. Marina Marcarino of Punset Wines in Barbaresco As a recap of the first show , when Marina Marcarino was in her early 20s, she took over the family vineyard in Neive, Barbaresco (Piedmont, Italy) and named it Punset . She had a revolutionary idea for the 1980s: to turn the vineyard organic. Marina became the first organic producer in Barbaresco. Her vineyards look different, her practices were strange to most back then and when she started using biodynamic in the 1990s, her reputation as "la pazza" – the crazy, was cemented. Fast forward to today, and everyone has followed Marina and she has become one of the thought leaders in environmental stewardship of vineyards in Barbaresco. Those who once mock

Historical Episode IWP Ep28 The Life and Writings of Angelo Pellegrini. Today we are talking about Angelo Pellegrini, the great Italian American author. If you aren’t familiar with the name, his books to me are classics of food and wine based literature. If you enjoy the writings of MFK Fisher, Jacques Pépin, Julia Child, James Beard etc. then his books are right up your alley and have more of a wine tilt to them also. He captures the immigrant experience and a changing world and the books are wonderful to read. Scroll to the bottom for links to most of his books.
