A Tour of Wine Grapes: Carmenere
Carménère 🍷 Carmenere grapes grown at Equinox Vineyard, Olanesti, Moldova ( Wikimedia Commons ) The name Carménère ( kar-men-nair ) comes from the French word carmin (meaning crimson). Unlike many grapes whose leaves turn yellow or brown, Carménère leaves turn a brilliant, fiery red in the fall, long before the grapes are even ready to harvest. Carménère was one of the six original red Bordeaux grapes. Known for its deep crimson color, it was historically used to add color and structure to Bordeaux blends. Then, it was nearly wiped out by the 19th-century phylloxera epidemic. It was thought to be extinct until it was discovered thriving in Chile in 1994 - it had been mistaken there for Merlot! Today, three-quarters of the world’s Carménère production continues to be from Chile where it is considered to be their signature wine. Wines made from Carménère grapes exhibit notes including red cherry, blackberry, black pepper and green bell pepper/herbaceous notes. With oak aging, the wines

podcast· 48:32· S1E42042 Finding Freedom: A Conversation with Sober Coach Gillian
In this episode, I chat with Gillian Cockburn , a sober coach who’s been alcohol-free for over five years. Her story is such a powerful example of what’s possible when you decide to question your relationship with alcohol — and choose a different path. Gillian stopped drinking on May 6th, 2020 , after years of knowing something wasn’t quite right. She shared how she used to hide her drinking, even from those closest to her, and how she often felt empty and disconnected in her early 40s. Like so many of us, she was using alcohol to numb uncomfortable feelings and get through the day. What really helped her turn things around was doing deep thought work and mindset coaching — learning to change the way she thought about herself, her emotions, and alcohol. That shift gave her the tools to maintain her sobriety and create a much more vibrant, peaceful life. We also talked about how cultural and marketing influences have played such a big role in normalising drinking, especially for women.

videoTop French WINE BARGAIN for Under $20
There are plenty of contenders for the best wine value from France, but for me, there is one that holds that top spot. It's a region that I've watched develop over the last forty years working in the wine trade. This video features some flat-out amazing wines, and the best part is that the wines can typically be found for under $20 per bottle. Ventoux is an ancient region that has seriously upped its game. If you know the region, I'll cover some specific wines worth searching out. If you're not familiar with it, this video will prove worthwhile the next time you're out wine shopping. The wines of Ventoux have often been lumped together with the base-level Cotes du Rhone from the Southern Rhone Valley. There are similarities; with both, Grenache usually plays a lead role. There are also significant differences. Ventoux tends to be cooler, thanks to Mont Ventoux, it's better suited to Northern Rhone varieties. Syrah often plays a bigger role, and in general, the wines have fresher acidi
videoOrange Wine Explained | WSET Diploma D6 Assignment Guide
In this video, I introduce the WSET Diploma D6 assignment topic on orange wine, looking at what orange wine is, how the term is used, and why skin-contact white wines have become such an important part of the modern wine world. For the full Wine with Jimmy orange wine section, including producer interviews, additional videos and more, visit the course here: https://e-learningwine.winewithjimmy.com/course/d6-orange-wine This is Part 1 of my orange wine series for WSET Diploma students. I explore the definition of orange wine, the difference between orange wine, amber wine, skin-contact wine, macerated white wine and vin blanc macéré, and the historical background of macerated white wines in regions such as Friuli, Brda and the Vipava Valley. I also look at the key structural and sensory features that help define orange wine, including colour development, increased aromatics, skin contact, maceration, phenolic extraction and the role of tannin. These are important ideas to understand

On eleven, and another spicy little number at On Rotation
Image credit: On Rotation Brewery & Kitchen. I just happened to be going over some numbers related to On Rotation Brewery & Kitchen of Dallas when I got a message from owner Jacob Sloan about a few things they've got going on at the brewpub over the next few weeks. At that moment, the number five was foremost on my mind, considering it's how many awards - five silver medals - the company's Jalapeño Saison has won at major competitions over the years. Not only that, it's a beer we've been drinking for at least twelve years, if you consider it was first poured at Brew Riot in 2014, which happened the year before On Rotation opened for business in early 2015. Of course, this brings up the number eleven and On Rotation's upcoming Eleven-Year Anniversary Party on Saturday, March 7. The festivities will take place...you guessed it...eleven years to the day since On Rotation released their first beers commercially. And did you know being eleven makes them the oldest c

podcast· 48:58· S1E229Italian Wine Adventure #25: Vermentino! Summer Sipper Contender?
Nothing says summer like a nice, crisp white wine, and in this episode, we cover one of the greats that you may never have heard of called Vermentino. Vermentino is a fabulous wine most famously from the island of Sardinia that is a perfect summer sipper. Vermentino is also likely to be a wine that you start seeing more often because it comes from a grape that creates these crisp, high acidic wines, but can take the heat in warmer climates and keep its acidity. In addition to digging into Vermentino and tasting and reviewing a couple of great wines you should be on the lookout for, we also talk about the criteria that make a great summer sipper and we give you a short list of some other wines to look out for. Summer isn’t over yet! Enjoy it while it’s here!
