Ep. 2820 Italianity for Me Is: Embracing the Roots We Once Hid with Anthony Giglio | Italianity S...

Welcome to episode 2820 of the Italian Wine Podcast and episode 2 of the Italianity series with Jessica Dupuy. In this episode, Jessica is in conversation with sommelier, author and storyteller Anthony Giglio, to explore what it means to grow up Italian in America and the legacy an immigrant great-grandfather can leave behind. Anthony reflects on the differences between Italian and Italian-American culture, the challenges immigrants faced in the US, and how shame around their origins shaped later generations. Through memories of Sunday lunches, homemade food and family wine traditions — including the childhood drink known as the “spaghetti spritz” — he shares how food and wine kept his Italian heritage alive and sparked his love of cooking. More about the guest: Anthony Giglio is a New York-based sommelier, writer, educator and raconteur, known for his witty, unpretentious approach to wine. He is Wine Director for the American Express Centurion Lounge network, a longtime

Why Your Eyes Lie to You About Wine

Six wines, $35 to $83 a bottle, poured into black glasses. No color, no tint, no clue whether it's white, red or something else entirely. Just a nose, a palate and a lot of second-guessing. It gets messy fast. One glass reads like a lees-aged white, another like a chilled red with a bit of tannin. One smells like a pure banana lollipop. Another triggers a childhood memory of skateboard scrapes, disinfectant and "light sweating." Nobody spits, because spitting would give the color away. Every wine still gets the usual verdict: what would you pay, and how many bottles would you buy? Then the wines come out of the dark and every guess gets put to the test. At least one glass turns out to have uninvited guests at the bottom. Pour something into the darkest mug you own and see if you can call it before we do. Subscribe if you like your wine opinions honest and your blind tastings properly blind. #wine #bottleshock #wineeducation #blindtasting #winetasting #blackglass #winechallenge Lea

Ep. 2819 Stolen Paradise, Sacred Tears & The Secrets of Ancient Volcanic Vines with Vincenzo Orab...

Welcome to Episode 2819 of the Italian Wine Podcast and Episode 266 of Wine, Food & Travel with Marc Millon. Marc speaks with Vincenzo Orabona of Villa Dora about winemaking on the volcanic slopes of Vesuvius, where old, ungrafted vines and indigenous varieties give the wines their distinctive character. They explore the legend of Lacrima Christi, the evolution of vineyard practices, and the potential of Caprettone to produce age-worthy wines. Vincenzo also discusses Catalanesca, a grape reflecting Spain’s historical influence on Campania, and shares local food pairings, from spaghetti alle vongole to Neapolitan pizza and ragù napoletano. More about the guest: Vincenzo Orabona is the nephew of Vincenzo Ambrosio, who founded Villa Dora in 1997, and now runs the estate. Villa Dora farms organically on the southern slopes of Vesuvius, inside the Vesuvius National Park near Terzigno, on volcanic soils of ash and lapilli. The vineyards are planted with ungrafted vines averagin

Tip for Wines Under a Screw Cap

If a wine under screw cap has a reductive smell, often like cooked cabbage or burnet rubber some vigorous aeration can save the day. Give the wine a good swirl for a minute, check the aroma, often times it’ll be greatly improved. #winetasting #winelover #wineeducation #wineexperience #wine #wineshorts #aeration #swirl #mwlife #masterofwine #bobpaulinski
