222: Jillian Johnson DeLeon - Laffort
Jillian Johnson DeLeon - Laffort In this episode, Jim sits down with Jillian Johnson DeLeon of Laffort to dig into the practical mechanics of yeast nutrition, starting with the difference between organic (amino-acid based) and inorganic (DAP) nitrogen sources. They walk through how to calculate the Nitrogren needs for a successfule fermentation across a two-addition strategy, timing the first dose within 24 hours of pitch (or at first signs of cap formation for native ferments) to support the yeast's growth phase, and the second closer to mid-fermentation to carry them through to dryness without triggering Hydrogen sulfide production. The conversation covers dosing heuristics like the one-third organic to two-thirds DAP ratio for that second addition, how nitrogen demand varies by yeast strain and biomass production, fermentation temperature's effect on ester versus thiol expression, the risks of both under- and over-dosing nutrients, and the case for early co-inoculation with malolact

The dog days of summer may be behind us, but André and Michael are already thinking about whisky. This week they’re joined by Cooper Sleeman , General Manager of Spring Mill Distillery in Guelph and part of the family behind one of Canada’s best-known names in beer. Cooper shares the wild history of the Sleeman family — including Prohibition, Al Capone, rum-running and tunnels under Guelph — and explains why the family returned to distilling decades after selling Sleeman Breweries. The guys tasted the new John Sleeman & Sons Copper Pot Whisky , an Irish-inspired whisky made with Canadian grain, while digging into what separates Irish, Scotch, bourbon-style and Canadian whisky. Cooper also explains the massive investment required to build a whisky business, including 14-foot wooden washbacks imported from Scotland, thousands of barrels aging upstairs and experiments with sherry, cognac and Canadian oak. They also talk about whether Canadians who discovered domestic spirits during the U.

Raise the price. Or improve the wine. Somehow, Juan Gil has managed to do the second without doing the first. For well over a decade, the Silver Label has been one of the world's great everyday wine values. Vintage after vintage, it has delivered remarkable concentration, old-vine character, and unbelievable consistency at a price that almost seems impossible in today's market. But something interesting has happened over the past few years. The wine has quietly evolved. And it's better than ever. The Juan Gil family has always had one tremendous advantage. Their vineyards. These organically farmed old-vine Monastrell vineyards, many planted 30 to 60 years ago, sit in the rugged, high-altitude l

Revana
Dr. Madaiah Revana has a gorgeous range of 2023 releases for his namesake winery. Today we share the wines of famed cardiologist Dr. Madaiah Revana. Dr. Revana also owns a world-class Oregon winery named after his daughter, Alexana, as well as Corazon del Sol in Argentina. A big purchase was made in 1997 as Dr. Revana immediately sensed the property’s potential, with its gravelly soils, sloped pitch, and excellent exposures seemed perfect for growing grapes. Soil studies also confirmed that the property would be perfect for growing Bordeaux varieties. Then in 1998, Dr. Revana hired acclaimed vineyard manager Jim Barbour to plant and maintain the 9-acre estate vineyard. The first vintage of Revana in 2001, initially utilizing the winemaking talents of Heidi Barrett. Revana did an incredible job managing the heat of 2022. The wines from 2023 are more poised and show excellent flavor density and underlying tension. I love the 2023 Revana ‘Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard’ Cabernet Sauvi

Behind the Cork™ - Carmen Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon
2019 Carmen Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon ($14.99) Viña Carmen was founded by Christian Lanz in 1850 and named in honor of his wife. The winery, located in Chile, now has more than 160 years of history having been the first and now oldest winery. In 1987, Viña Carmen became part of Grupo Claro. In 1994, the wine grape Carmenere was re-discovered in one of the Carmen vineyards in the Alto Maipo Valley. The Carmenere grape was long thought to be extinct after having been infected with phylloxera in the mid-19th century. But, this find returned Carmenere to the world. Carmen wines come from Maipo Valley, Apalta Valley, Leyda Valley, Casablanca Valley and the Colchagua Valley. This Cabernet Sauvignon is from a single vineyard in Alto Maipo Valley containing 20 year-old vines. It was produced from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon that underwent a cold soak for 10 days before fermentation to draw out color and aromatics. Fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks, to retain the fruit flavors, f

🎧Ep 612: Wine Legends — André Tchelistcheff, The Father of American Wine
André Tchelistcheff is a wine legend, especially in American wine. A winemaker, viticulturist and teacher, Tchelistcheff raised the standards for California wine, making it possible for it to become a force in the modern wine world. André Tchelistcheff. Photo: UC Davis Library A lifetime learner, Tchelistcheff said his highest and best title would be "permanent student of the university of California" because he never thought he knew everything about wine and always wanted to discover new ways of doing things. Tchelistcheff's philosophy on wine aligns with that of most of the listeners in this community... "Wine is an intellectual beverage. It does not have the toxicity of liquor. Taken in moderation, it opens the mind. I have seen an introvert, after two glasses of wine, open like a flower."
