This Damsel Doesn’t Need Rescuing
If you hear the word “Damsel” and immediately think of a girl in a silk dress waiting for a knight to show up on a horse, you clearly haven’t met Mari Womack.

videoAfternoon Vin Chaud #wine #winelover
Vin Chaud is basically the French version of Mulled Wine. It's a bit warm here in Vegas for traditional Vin Chaud, so I made a lighter version with a Rosé rather than a traditional red wine. I served it like Afternoon Tea! This is a simple, elegant, and cozy way to enjoy an afternoon with friends.

The Franklin Fountain Root Beer
Back in October I went to Delaware, before which all I could think of when I heard of Delaware was that bit from Wayne’s World “Hi, I’m in Delaware”. After visiting, I kind of agree with them.

podcast· 36:30· Ep 607Ep 607: Wine Legends - The People Who Solved the Great French Wine Blight
In this show rather than one wine legend, I talk about a team of people who saved the wine world from The Great French Wine Blight of the 1860s – 1890s, which turned out to be caused a destructive, insect called phylloxera that came to Europe on American grapevines. I discuss the contributions of eight people who worked together and across continents to collectively save the European grapevine, Vitis vinifera, from extinction. Today, we drink Pinot Noir, Cabernet, Chardonnay, Riesling, and Syrah all because of the efforts of these people. This podcast is the story of what they did and how they did it. I discuss the contributions of: Jules-Émile Planchon Gaston Bazille CV Riley Hermann Jaeger George Hussman TV Munson Leo Laliman Pierra Viala All played key roles in identifying the cause of vine death in France, and finding the solutions that would work best. This is an important story of wine legends all wine lovers should know about! Enjoy! Full show notes and all back episodes are on

videoDom Perignon 2015 Champagne Review
Wine has been made in the Champagne region since the 5th century. At that time, almost all wine produced and drunk were red wines. The neighboring region of Burgundy was much more suited to producing red wines as the Champagne region did not have the climatic conditions to fully ripen many red wine producing grape varietal. So the wines produced in Champagne were paler, more acidic and lighter in to style (and not as popular to consumers in ancient times). The person who is most associated with the creation of Champagne is Dom Perignon. However, he was not the person who “invented” champagne. In 1662, an English scientist and physician Christopher Merret, documented the addition of sugar to a finished wine to create a second fermentation, which is still the method used to produce Champagne today. Dom Perignon is one of the most famous champagnes in the world and is a label owned by Moet & Chandon. Moet is now owned by LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy), who owns other champ

videoThis £7.39 Portuguese White Divided Us (Episode 550)
In this episode of Wine Mastery, we taste a Portuguese white wine priced at just £7.39 — and it turns out to be far more interesting than we expected. This 2022 Portuguese blend (featuring Roupeiro as the main grape) immediately caught our attention with its rich golden colour and surprisingly expressive nose. On the nose, we found: Honey Tropical fruits Melon Almost a Riesling-style petrol note For a wine at this price point, the complexity genuinely surprised us. But here’s where things got interesting… On the palate: Smooth and rounded texture Juicy peach and tropical fruit Moderate length A slight bitterness on the finish (for one of us) One of us would happily buy it again. The other? Not quite convinced. Final scores: 86 points vs 82 points. We also discuss: Whether price influences perception The importance of food pairing Blue Stilton pairing potential Garlic prawns and Portuguese seaside vibes And answer a viewer's question about pairing wine with pizza I
podcast· 1h 01m· Ep 519Navigating Wine Lists and Confidence: A Conversation with Natalie McLean
I find her refreshing. I find her intriguing. I find her wise: In wine. Natalie brings to the proverbial table an unabashed view of wine and she will tell you like it is. I have to tell you that having Natalie McLean on the show was one of those times where you know you could just keep talking for hours, and still barely scratch the surface. From the moment she cracked her opening line about starting to drink when she met her husband—"and haven't found a reason to stop"—I knew we were in for an episode rich in anecdotes, laughter, and real insight into the world of wine and the people orbiting it. I love a guest who doesn't take themselves too seriously, especially when that guest has the credentials and accolades to do so if they wanted. Right off the bat, the story of how Natalie McLean first dipped her toe—well, her glass—into wine was classic. The ex-husband, the MBA couple, and the journey through Spanish classes, golf, and finally onto wine studies left me grinning. You know, eve
