Sip Sustainably in Lodi: Where to Taste LODI RULES Wine
Have you ever picked up a bottle of wine and looked closely at the label? If you're tasting in Lodi, chances are you've noticed a small green seal on the back of the bottle. It reads CERTIFIED GREEN, and it tells a story that starts long before the wine enters the bottle, one that reaches back into the vineyard rows, the soil, and a farming community that decided decades ago to hold itself to a higher standard. That seal is the mark of LODI RULES , America's original third-party certified sustainable winegrowing program. More Than a Label The program evolved from the Lodi Winegrape Commission, formed when Lodi's growers came together to protect the long-term future of farming in Lodi, for their families, their neighbors, and the generations to come. Long before sustainability became an industry buzzword, the Commission launched a grassroots education program in 1992 aimed at reducing pesticide use by learning about the entire vineyard ecosystem. That effort, shaped by over a

Behind the Cork™ - Gundlach Bundschu Sonoma Mountain Cuvee
2019 Gundlach Bundschu Sonoma Mountain Cuvée ($18) For six generations and over 160 years, the Bundschu family has farmed the Rhinefarm estate vineyard at the crossroads of the Sonoma Valley, Carneros and Napa Valley appellations. Mountain Cuvée honors the Bordeaux blends of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Gundlach Bundschu sources it grapes from vineyards up against the Mayacamas Mountain range. For the Merlot, they seek grapes that ripen well and have an expressive personality and consistency. Then they look for the Cabernet Sauvignon to provide a darkness to the wine. They source the fruit from only two growers within 2 miles of their estate to create the Cuvée, or blend. During the winemaking process, they blend vineyard blocks together, evaluate and then create an appropriate oak-aging program, averaging 14 months in duration, primarily in French oak. This Gundlach Bundschu Mountain Cuvée is deep purple in color with soft aromas of deep black fruit, herbal hints and a touch of cara

videoAustralian Wine ‘Shiraz’ Paired with a Creamy Australian Cheddar
David Kohl loves to pair wines with cheese and today finds that a creamy Australian Cheddar brings out the best qualities of the ruggedly fruity Australian Shiraz grown in The Clare Valley with maritime proximity to the southern coastline. Many consumers may not realize that ‘Shiraz’ is actually the French grape Syrah brought to Australia in the 1800s by James Busby who is known as The Father of Australia’s Wine Industry. Shiraz is actually a city in Iran but James Busby found that the exotic connection was a favored label for the transported grape varietal. #shiraz #australianwine #winepodcast #wineandcheese #jamesbusby #clarevalley
