Christian Seely, managing director of AXA Millésimes, oversees one of the most far-flung fine wine portfolios in the world: Château Pichon Baron, Pibran and Suduiraut in Bordeaux, Domaine de l'Arlot in Burgundy, Disznókő in Tokaj, Quinta do Noval in the Douro, Outpost on Napa's Howell Mountain, Platt Vineyard on the West Sonoma Coast, and Coates & Seely, the English sparkling wine house he co-founded in Hampshire and now the Isle of Wight. Host Suzanne Mustacich asks him the obvious question — how do you hold all that together? Christian talks about the total conviction that a great wine must be the unique individual expression of its

Napa didn't start California wine. 🍷

Think the Spanish or French started Northern California wine? Wrong. Discover the wild Russian origins of Sonoma Coast wine and what to drink today. What questions does this video answer? Who originally planted the first grapevines in Northern California? What makes Russian River Valley Pinot Noir so special? Where can you find the best Zinfandel in Sonoma County? What is the difference between Sonoma and Napa Valley wine? About This Video: Certified Italian Wine Ambassador Greg Martellotto reveals the wild, forgotten history of Northern California wine. Long before Napa got the postcards, Russian sea otter hunters planted Peruvian vines on the Sonoma Coast in 1817. Today, Sonoma County is one of the most diverse wine regions on Earth. The secret is the freezing Pacific fog that rolls inland every summer afternoon, dropping temperatures by 40 degrees. Where that fog stops dictates exactly what grows best. Explore the lush Pinot Noir of the Russian River Valley, the traditional me

How Ross Cobb Makes Aromatic Sonoma Pinot Noir

Ross Cobb explains why aromatics are central to his approach to Pinot Noir on the Sonoma Coast, and how night harvesting, cool fruit, CO₂ and an unusually long two-to-three-week cold soak help preserve and develop those aromas. He also shares a memorable philosophy for Pinot Noir: it should smell like Pinot Noir but taste like Chardonnay. #PinotNoir #SonomaCoast #Winemaking #WineWithJimmy

The Vintage That Changed the Loire Forever

Domaine FL Anjou Rouge Le Cochet 2018 Link to the wine: https://www.winex.com/pujanza-rioja-finca-valdepoleo-2018.html Join our Daily Email Offer List: https://cdn.forms-content.sg-form.com/f3da488a-d10b-11ee-94a3-62718bdc6118 Some of the best wines we sell were never on our shopping list. That's exactly what happened with the 2018 Domaine FL Anjou Rouge. When we traveled to Wine Paris, we weren't looking for mature Loire Valley red wine. We were hunting for older Rhône, Bordeaux, and other classics. Then someone poured us this bottle, and within minutes, we completely changed our buying plans. Sometimes the wine finds you. Most wine lovers know Domaine FL for its exceptional Chenin Blanc. Founded by Philippe Fournier Longchamps, the estate was created after he acquired two historic Loire Valley properties in 2006 and 2007, combining them into one of Anjou's benchmark biodynamic domaines. While the whites have long earned international acclaim, tasting the reds remind

Is Extreme Farming Worth Your Money?

Some people plant grapes on active volcanoes. Some farm slopes so steep they can't use a tractor. Some jam so many vines into a hectare you have to sidestep between the rows. This bracket is six wines, all from vineyards where growing anything is closer to mountaineering than farming, priced anywhere from $49 to $155. The rule is simple: taste blind, guess the variety, guess the place, then call the price and how many bottles you'd actually buy. When a slope tips past 30 degrees they call it 'heroic viticulture,' and this lineup runs the full gamut of crazy, from cliff-face plantings to snowcapped altitude to hardcore volcanic terroir. Does all that struggle actually make the wine taste better? Play along and lock in your guesses before we do. Expect a flavor bomb opener, one bottle that split the room on 'boring vs elegant,' an oxidative wildcard that transformed after two hours in the glass, and a savory red none of us saw coming. Prices got wildly over- and under-called. Reveals,
