videoInside DuMOL: High-Density Pinot Noir with Andy Smith
Join me at DuMOL in Sonoma’s Russian River Valley for a vineyard conversation with Chief Winemaker and Proprietor Andy Smith. Andy explains why DuMOL planted Pinot Noir at an unusually high density of around 3,600 vines per acre, taking inspiration from the traditional vineyard spacing of Burgundy. We discuss how dense planting and natural shading can help preserve acidity, aromatic character and freshness while reducing the need for irrigation. We also explore DuMOL’s preference for heritage Pinot Noir selections over Dijon clones, the cooling influence of the Petaluma Gap and Bodega Bay, and the importance of the Laguna de Santa Rosa, Goldridge soils, sandstone and clay. This is a detailed look at how vineyard design, vine material, climate and geology shape Pinot Noir in the Russian River Valley.

Spanish Wine Tourism: Discovering the Hidden Treasures of the Arlanza Wine Route
Over the coming days, I’ll be travelling through one of Spain’s most fascinating yet underappreciated wine tourism destinations – the Arlanza Wine Route in Castilla y León. While regions such as Rioja and Ribera del Duero often dominate the spotlight, Arlanza offers something refreshingly different: authentic medieval villages, centuries-old monasteries, underground wine cellars, remarkable gastronomy, […] The post Spanish Wine Tourism: Discovering the Hidden Treasures of the Arlanza Wine Route appeared first on Liz Palmer .

Clyzm Wines
Austin Culver of Clyzm Wines Photos Courtest of Clyzm Wines The year Austin Culver was born, his father planted a small hobby Zinfandel vineyard. He did so, in part, to teach Austin the importance of work ethic, especially in the area of agriculture. So Austin was engaged in vineyard work at a very young age, but had no intention of becoming a winemaker. In fact, he went to college to major in biochemical engineering, but ended up graduating with a degree in biochemistry. Austin wasn’t your typical pre-med biochemistry major. His goal after graduating was to get a job to do with cannabis, beer or wine. Austin worked with cannabis, beer and urine samples before he eventually found his way back to grapes and wine. He worked two years for Cascade Cliffs Winery, before heading to New Zealand and eventually the Willamette Valley to work harvests. When he was ready to launch his own label, he returned to the Columbia Gorge. Austin s

videoCan You Actually Drink Wine And Still Lose Weight?
The internet can't agree on one simple question: can you drink wine while trying to manage your weight? One side swears it's a sugar bomb that ruins everything. The other treats it like a health tonic. Both can't be right. Brendan has personally cycled through vegan, keto, intermittent fasting and straight calorie restriction, gaining and losing serious weight on camera over the years. So he's pulling the actual clinical research on how wine behaves inside your body, why your liver treats it like a toxin, and what happens to popular diets when a daily glass gets thrown into the mix. Before the numbers land, make your own call. Do you think wine helps, hurts, or does nothing at all? Lock in your guess, then see whether the science backs you up or blows your assumptions apart. Subscribe and pour something dry — we do the reading so you don't have to. #wine #winetasting #bottleshock #wineeducation #keto #mediterraneandiet #weightloss #winefacts Learn More About Us: https://bottleshoc
