He Turns 15,000 Bottles of Sparkling Wine by Hand Every Day. His Craft Could Soon Disappear
Hand riddling sparkling wine is a centuries-old tradition of methodically moving sediment into the bottle’s neck by subtly turning the bottles every day. As mechanized riddling becomes more common, preserving the centuries-old craft will depend on training a new generation of riddlers. Here’s why it’s still important.

🎧Ep 622: Food and Wine Pairing for Fall
With the equinox behind us, it is officially fall in northern hemisphere – a return to normal routines after the lazier days of summer. The leaves are changing, the days are getting shorter, and we're taking out the jeans and sweaters for the cooler weather and that means it's also time for fall flavors in food and in wine. Photo Credit: Valiphotos from Pixabay. Root vegetables like squash and pumpkin, foods with warm spice preparations, and earthy, richer flavors with butter and savory herbs are on our radars. Many of us shift our wine selections to warming wines that balance earthy and savory flavors – lower acidity, rounder, softer wines in red and white (and occasionally rosé and sparkling) In this show, I offer pairings for fall food with both! I cover both vegetable and meat dishes in the show -- mushroom and squash dishes and soups, roast chicken, pork chops, and chili are all on the menu with the reds and whites to match! A fun show with useful info, for sure! Full show notes a

🎧The Wine Makers – S.O.R.B.E.T. 2.0
S.O.R.B.E.T. is back! The Sonoma Organic Regenerative Educational Tasting returns to Fort Mason November 8th, 2026. We sat down with old friends Katie Bundschu Tynan and Morgan Twain Peterson, who together conjured SORBET with our own Sam Coturri when some shit-talking messages about greenwashing vineyard “sustainability” got out of hand and turned into a full-fledged tasting event. SORBET 2025 was a sold-out smash hit. This year, SORBET has grown and evolved. They secured official 501(c)(3) nonprofit status, hosted field days to promote regenerative farming practices in the Sonoma Valley viticulture community, and threw a spectacular, sunset-splashed fundraiser dinner. Now they’re bringing it all back to where it started for one of the most unique and forward-thinking tastings we’ve ever seen. Expect more than 30 wineries and vineyards, hundreds of wines representing dozens of varieties, and every winemaking style you can imagine. What brings them all together? They’re all from Sonoma

Willett Family Estate Small Batch Rye Whiskey: The Pour That Changed the Way I Taste Whiskey
“The art of life lies in a constant readjustment to our surroundings.” — Kakuzo Okakura Maker's Mark, Wild Turkey, Woodford Reserve—these are the brands that are steady, the bottles that offer consistency, the pours I return to when I'm craving a predictable experience. I lived in this realm for quite some time, not actively seeking anything beyond what was comfortable, affordable, and, as far as I knew, as enjoyable as any way to end a day. That all changed the day rye whiskey entered my...

Auchentoshan / Glen Keith (TWA & East Village Whisky)
The Whisky Agency ( founded 2008 ) teamed up with East Village Whisky Company ( founded 2018 ) to celebrate their anniversary. I reckon we're talking about Carsten and Peter's personal anniversaries then. I'm terrible at guessing ages but I think they could be the same age indeed. They selected two bottlings, both similar to previous TWA releases. Auchentoshan 25 yo 1999 (50,6%, The Whisky Agency 'Birthdays United' for East Village Whisky Co 2025, barrel, 120 btl.) Nose: forthcoming, with lots of yellow fruits. Peaches, some lime, later also mango and a bit of honey roundness. Drops of tropical fruit syrup. Then subtle hints of beehive notes and sunflower oil, along with dandelions and powdered sugar. Light vanilla. Much better than your typical Auchentoshan, ha! Mouth: more oranges, or rather tangerines, with mangoes. It gets more zesty after that, with candied grapefruit, some gingery notes and a greener, light bitter edge. Subtle gin botanicals. Then green malty notes, a light
