podcast· 56:48· Ep 539Napa's Lost Magic: How Commerce Ruined Wine and What Jessica Kogan Wants to Fix
When you meet Jessica Kogan (in-person or virtual), it takes exactly 2/3's of a second to realize she is a force of nature...marketing nature as it were. Perhaps the most frequent guest on Wine Talks, each episode has had a unique viewpoint on the latest in wine marketing, data mining, and outside pressures. I welcome back, Jessica Kogan. If you think Napa is just for tuxedoed snobs or that wine tastings only happen in picturesque châteaus, wait until Jessica Kogan shakes up your tired assumptions. Jessica Kogan is the industry disruptor who believes the heart of wine isn't bottled in glass—it's poured out in the local grocery aisle, one wild, unfiltered conversation at a time. You'll hear how she's forging revolution from the retail trenches, ditching sterile focus groups for nearly a million real-life customer conversations every year. Here, sampling isn't just some checkbox—it's a battleground where authentic brand love is won, and the old guard of wine marketing is put on notice. F

Singapore
A fallen cannonball anemone, a single petal remaining, but heavy with scent and memory. On my infrequent visits to Singapore, I always make a beeline to the Botanic gardens, with its photogenic dragonflies and this curious tree. Faced with the traveller's dilemma. What to see and do? What to drink and taste when there is so little time. . . Should you narrow or widen the aperture? Deep but limited, or shallow and cursory? Around and around in circles . . . Sleeping close to the Singapore river, every morning a slow pre sunrise run along the waters edge. Each day I’d trace the same path, the only variance my starting direction. . . I was surprised by the number of chickens strutting around unencumbered. I discovered retrospectively that they were the prototypal wild jungle fowl, unintentionally reintroduced, slimmed down, muscular and with beautiful tail feathers. First the food arrives and then the hunger . . . I ate as much buah keluak as I possible. One

March Case of the Month
Our March case is all about variety. Different regions, different grapes, and a mix of bottles that work for everything from weeknight dinners to slow weekend hangs. This month’s lineup travels a bit. There’s a bright, structured Xinomavro from Greece, a classic Rioja Crianza from Spain, and a Willamette Valley Chardonnay that adds a little local flavor to the mix. We’ve also included a fresh Corbières rosé that’s perfect for those first hints of spring. The rest of the case rounds things out with a few easygoing reds and whites that are simply good to have around—bottles you’ll feel good opening on a random Tuesday, but that still show plenty of character. As always, the Case of the Month is designed to help you explore new wines while saving a little along the way. Grab the full case for the best price, or pick up a few individual bottles if something catches your eye. Stop by the shop, and we’ll happily point you toward our favorites.

the not serious Katie Woodhead
If you’ve ever had dinner downing dumplings at Hello Beasty in Tāmaki Makaurau, you may have met Katie Woodhead. If you’ve ever supped on a pint or scoffed a pizza at Scopa in Te Whanganui-a-Tara, you may have met Katie. And chances are, if you’ve given a glass of something from Huia, Seresin or Felton Road a nudge, then you may have come very near to meeting Katie — in essence, because you will have experienced a little bit of her energy that was imparted into the vines during her short stints at said wineries. When I first met Katie – it was at Hello Beasty — I was with one of my favourite lunching sidekicks, Courteney Peters and we both felt sure we’d met her before. Turns out we hadn’t but instead, had just witnessed what true hospitality looks like. That sort of soft but confident, personable service that makes you feel right at home and cared for in an absolute instant. Sort of like if your Mum has grabbed your onesie from the dryer and popped you into a bed made of freshly clean
