Os aromas do vinho são mesmo o que pensamos?

A perfumista Cláudia Camacho tem uma interpretação distinta dos apontamentos aromáticos das castas e dos vinhos. Afinal, os descritores que estamos habituados a usar podem estar completamente errados... Este e outros episódios também disponíveis em josejoaosantos.com

IWP Ep25 Kevin Ferguson - "Rain on the Montebello Ridge" and Gemello Winery History

IWP Ep25 Kevin Ferguson - "Rain on the Montebello Ridge" and Gemello Winery History. Kevin is the grandson of Mario Gemello, the late winemaker of the Gemello Winery, which produced great Cabernets and Zins in Mountain View for a half of century - well before the tech boom of the past 40 years, back when this area was still the Valley of the Hearts Delight and Silicon Valley was a glimmer in the eye. Ferguson is writing a book about the winery and his bond with his grandparents. It’s called Rain on the Monte Bello Ridge, a memoir about health, aging and winemaking.

The John Malkovich EXCLUSIVE

'My wife suggested we make wine. I think in the hope of cutting down our wine bill...' It's classic John Malkovich. The wit as dry as his aged Provençal Pinot Noir rosé (yes, you read that right). In this epic episode, we get to know John Malkovich the famous actor of stage and screen - but also John Malkovich the fashion designer, the theatre director, and most importantly John Malkovich the wine producer. This truly is a man for all seasons. But Malkovich seldom abides by convention - and his wine venture in the south of France, Les Quelles de La Coste, typifies this approach. He's planted atypical wine grape varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere - and (whisper it) Pinot Noir. He's even blending them together... For the wine classicists, this is nothing short of vinous heresy. So the big questions are: Is this just another cookie-cutter celeb wine project, or is it different? What are the wines actually like? Come to that, what's John Malkovich actually like? Join us as we pos

Wine and Wine Tank Photography - Livermore Valley's Rosa Fierro Cellars, Ep. 72

If you've ever dreamed of making a career switch to wine, our podcast today may just inspire you. Rosa Fierro went from legal assistant to winemaker and winery owner. It didn't happen overnight, and the journey wasn't without its twists and turns and stops and starts. But one of the reasons Rosie has made it work is because of the women who helped her out along the way. Today Livermore Valley's @Rosa Fierro Cellars is 100% female owned and operated. They are helping to change the narrative about what has been a male dominated wine world, and as Aretha Franklin and Annie Lennox sing, sisters are doing it for themselves! The two Marys are at Rosie's winery and tasting room, in what we like to say is the vortex of winemaking in Northern California's Livermore Valley Wine Community, as she's surrounded by other wineries, a brewery and a distillery. Rosie has perhaps the most unique label art we've seen and it's very personal. Rosie also honors powerful, impactful women in a special way in

Family Business w/ Lebon Restoration & Woodworks

We are joined by a great friend and long-time industry vet, Justin Lebon owner and proprietor of Lebon Restoration & Woodwork. This episode is steered by SVC & JTM as Matt was in Wisconsin recording a docuseries for the CrossFit games. Nevertheless, we were able to put together a great episode and conversation. Justin is another one of those Fremont transplants who made their way to the Livermore Valley and never left. He spent a decade at Uncle Yu's right here in the heart of downtown as the GM and every other position. And when the pandemic hit, he was pressed to make some hard decisions about what was next. Join us for another deep dive into what it takes to push yourself to be your best. And we are reminded again that banking on yourself is always the best bet.

157: Ben Matthews - Terratorium Riesling

This episode features the return of Ben Matthews, who was a part of Episode 83 in 2018, and went on to found Terratorium, which is the focal point of conversation for this episode. Ben has been a long-time podcast listener and he and I met when he came out to Napa for the Deep Winemaking (wine camp) in 2017. A year later Ben came back to Napa to work harvest with me at Seavey Vineyard. Upon returning to Cincinnati and founding Terratorium Ben brought me into the business to help with vineyards and winemaking. 2021 was our first year of full production and the complicated path of producing our Riesling felt like a story we could share on the podcast. Our conversation covers Ben's telling of building Terratorium, the desire to make a Riesling, Tondre Grapefield in Santa Lucia Highlands, and the many obstacles and discussions we had in order to create our desired style of Riesling. We talk through every step of the winemaking, including all of the chemistries, during this discussion.

027: Why Grape Growers Should Care About YAN with Dr. Anna Katharine Mansfield

As a wine-grape grower, yeast assimilable nitrogen (YAN) is an important factor to measure in your grapes and wine. On today's episode, Professor and Enologist Dr. Anna Katharine Mansfield joins us to share her expertise on the role of yeast assimilable nitrogen (YAN) and nitrogen in wine quality and fermentation. Her work and focus on sensory science and flavor chemistry for wine production brings a unique perspective as we discuss all things YAN: what it is, why it's important, and how to measure it. Most people measure sugar, pH, and titratable acidity, but many skip measuring YAN, although a Cornell study has proven that more people prefer wine that was produced from grapes containing adequate YAN levels in the grapes at harvest. Listen in to learn all about this often overlooked yet important measurement. In this episode, you will hear: What yeast assimilable nitrogen (YAN) is and why it's important in grape growing. The role of nitrogen in the fermentation process and its potenti
