video2025 Vintage Bordeaux : Smith Haut Lafitte en primeur week kicks-off
David Kohl kicks off en primeur week in Bordeaux with a visit to the luxurious Smith Haut Lafitte in Pessac region. With the passing recently of Daniel Cathiard this vintage is quite emotional for Florence who we had a chance to see and acknowledge our respects. As usual the white wines were the show stoppers but these reds expressed a premium character for Smith Haut Lafitte. #winepodcast #2025bordeaux #bordeauxwine #smithhautlafitte #danielcathiard

videoSangiovese White Wine from Tuscany
David Kohl is all about wine discovery, and today shares with you a rare gem : white wine produced from Tuscany’s sangiovese grape. This “Toscana Bianco” is in fact produced from the signature red grape of the region, with the unique color & citrus tone achieved by removing skins. Crisp + refreshing, this selection retails in the $25 range and is a perfect pairing for our pesto-pizza. #sangiovese #italianwines #toscanabianco #pestopizza #wine #whitewine #winepodcast

Philippe Troussier, who met with past success as a globally recognized FIFA soccer coach, believes that the enterprise of small batch wine production requires the same discipline of balance/ assembling the right team that he achieved during his FIFA career. Finding balance in fruit structure, alcohol level and power endurance is key to delivering elegant wine selections with top consumer value. #winepodcast #bordeauxwine #philippetroussier #bordeauxvineyard #wineproduction
videoChianti Classico + Sautéed Veal Chop
At Primi Italian Steakhouse on Long Island, David Kohl pairs his sautéed veal chop with a half bottle of 2019 Fontodi Chianti Classico, an organic selection produced from the Sangiovese grape. Fontodi ‘s style is considered a modern version of Chianti Classico because it is known more for its fruit structure rather than for its rustic - earthy notes. As a half-bottle format, the 2019 is appropriately aged and ‘drinking now’. #winepodcast #chianticlassico #fontodiwine #longislandfoodie #foodandwi

videoSauvignon Blanc from Macedonia-Greece
At Plori Greek Taverna on Long Island we highlight a Sauvignon Blanc offering from a vineyard located on the mainland in Macedonia-Greece, near the Albanian border. It is interesting that traditional French grapes are now being planted in Greece, where native indigenous grapes have typically taken precedence. The selection is a great match for a dinner of fresh fish + vegetables. #greekwine #greekrestaurant #sauvignonblanc #longislandfoodie
videoWhite Wine Grape Native to Greek Island of Crete
Here at Plori Greek Taverna on Long Island, the wine list features Greek selections including this offering from Crete, produced from native white wine grape Vidiano, which is akin to Viognier/ Vermentino. What a great pairing for our appetizer course of zucchini chips + spinach pie. #vidiano #greekwine #longislandfoodie #cretegreece #greekrestaurant
videoRed Wine Consumer Value: France’s Southern Rhone Valley
David Kohl believes that France’s Southern Rhone Valley provides wine consumers with fertile ground for value hunting. Today’s selection retails in the $15 range as a blend of Grenache & Syrah produced in the appellation “ Côtes du Rhône Villages”. A peppery + juicy offering with influences from neighboring Provence, this wine demonstrates why consumers don’t need to spend big to obtain top value. #winepodcast #winelover #cotesdurhonevillages #rhonevalley #southernrhonewines #grenache #redwine
videoChateau Tronquoy Wine Estate in Bordeaux’s St. Estephe Region
David Kohl highlights Chateau Tronquoy, an “under the radar” gem from Bordeaux’s St. Estephe region that was purchased about 20 years ago by Martin + Olivier Buoygues who also own grand cru classe estate Chateau Montrose. The Buoygues brothers added tremendous value to Chateau Tronquoy by undertaking a 10 million euro renovation + assigning the winemaking team from Chateau Montrose to handle production. As a cru bourgeois vineyard with selections priced under $40, Chateau Tronquoy delivers quality beyond expectation. #winepodcast #chateautronquoy #bordeauxlover #bordeauxwine
