videoKnightor Vintage Cuvée 2014
Tasting a fairly venerable English sparkling wine from Cornwall on a warm spring day in the woods. Over a decade old, it has spent 8 and a half years aging on the lees, then a few more on the cork. Really enjoyed by time spent in the woodland today, and was treated to a visit from the fox.

podcast· 1h 03m· S19E528Are Wine Tastings a Sham? What the producers of Bottle Shock think.
Yes, there was a movie. A movie about the Judgement of Paris. The movie being a heap of fun, you will hear on this episode of Wine Talks...why! It was pure craziness in the studio with the producers of the movie Bottle Shock stopped in to shed some light on the production of the movie, as well as what they are up to now! If the notion that wine is the domain of aristocrats, snobs, and storied French chateaux still lingers somewhere in your mind, this conversation will pop that cork and send it spinning. Wine Talks with Flint Dilley and Jody Savin shatters glass ceilings and sacred casks, daring to suggest that most of us—yes, most —are bluffing our way through every swirl and sniff 17:10 . Listen as these guests champion the radical democratization of wine, challenging the very premise that expertise is necessary for genuine enjoyment. The wine world's intimidation factor, self-perpetuated by "gatekeepers" with elaborate rituals and intimidating lingo, comes into direct conflict with t

videoDS Champagne - Blanc de Blancs 2005 - 1er Cru
Tasted by the Best Sommelier of the World, Andreas Larsson. Bright light to medium deep golden colour with a mellow yet persistent mousse. The nose shows some evolution, combining nutty, toasted and autolytic notes with hazelnut, brioche and chalky nuances, layered with pear and peach, alongside a lift of citrus and hints of bold dark fruit. The palate offers generous fruit, rather ample in a pure, non-oxidative style, showing bright acidity and low dosage. The mid-palate is creamy yet refined,
