🎧Bordeaux on the Brink Part 1
NB: this episode contains sensitive material, given we discuss suicide - see the links on our website show notes for help and more. Bordeaux is one of the most famous names in wine. Yet this jewel in the French wine crown has been having a wretched time of late, afflicted by a whole bunch of problems, from rampaging wildfires to plummeting consumption, land prices tanking, production plunging and general climate change chaos. It's being described as the worst crisis for Bordeaux since phylloxera and the Great Depression - so no wonder producers are feeling the pressure, in some cases with tragic outcomes. Bordeaux's proud vineyard is being severely pruned - down from 109,000 hectares in 2023 to 86,000 hectares in 2026, a severe contraction of more than 20% in just three frantic years. Olives, goji berries and apples are replacing vines. 'The landscape of Bordeaux is changing,' notes respected Bordeaux-based writer Chloé Cazaux Grandpierre, who has some eye-opening details to share in t
videoWhat does a wine actually taste like after 100 years in a barrel? — Jane Anson The Wine Podcast E40

Think back over the hundred years it's been ageing, waiting for this moment. Hopefully, the world has seen a hundred years of peace." That's the message Charlie Seppelt has written for whoever opens the barrel his family is laying down today — one that won't be touched again until the year 2126. In this episode, Jane Anson sits down with Charlie Seppelt, Senior Winemaker at Seppeltsfield and fifth generation of the family that founded it, to taste the 1926 Para Vintage Tawny: a wine laid down exactly a century ago under a mandate from Charlie's great-great-grandfather Benno Seppelt, who decreed it could not be touched for 100 years — and never tasted it himself. 🍷 Subscribe to the channel ✨ Like this video to support fine wine

🎧221: JJ McNab – L’Amitié Wines
In this episode I talk with John "JJ" Julius McNab, assistant winemaker at Matthiasson Wines and founder of Lamitié Wines, about his unconventional path from Chicago brokerage and endurance sports into the wine world. JJ traces his move from finance to Santa Barbara hospitality and DTC sales at Brewer-Clifton and the moment he realized he wanted to make his own wine. We dig into his decision to complete the UC Davis Winemaking Certificate, how that "inch deep, mile wide" technical foundation pairs with on-the-job experience, and what he really learned during his first harvest at Kosta Browne in the middle of COVID and wildfire smoke. We then dive into JJ's Chardonnay-focused Lamitié project: why he chose to be known for one thing, his focus on low alcohol, high-acid chemistry, and what he looks for in vineyards like Charles Heintz (clone 4, cool sites, marine influence). JJ explains his press strategy ("the juice isn't always worth the squeeze"), fermenting Chardonnay in puncheons on f

videoThis Portuguese Vineyard Is Surrounded by Marble
What does growing grapes between two huge marble quarries do to the wine? I’m in Borba, Alentejo, with winemaker Ricardo Silva of Adega de Borba, exploring a remarkable Alfrocheiro vineyard and the geology beneath it. Ricardo explains how the calcareous soils, altitude and deep soils help maintain natural acidity and lower pH, and why that could be increasingly important in a changing climate. #Wine #Alentejo #Portugal #PortugueseWine #Alfrocheiro #WineEducation
