Erica Stancliff, Deodora Estate Vineyards winemaker
Deodora & Daedalus Erica Stancliff, Deodora Estate Vineyards winemaker, joins Dan Berger and Daedalus Howell on California Wine Country. This is her fifth time as a guest on the show. Her very first time was this episode on February 20, 2019 and her last time was May 23, 2025 with Doug Mryglod and Judy Phillips , the owners of Deodora Estate Vineyards. The Artemis II crew just splashed down off the coast of San Diego just this minute, as the show is being recorded live, so we toast with some great Riesling. The wine they are tasting is the 2019 made by her friend Ashley Holland who was the first winemaker at Deodora, and who taught her that Riesling from Petaluma Gap could be gorgeous, aromatic, age-worthy and not sweet. Dan explains that you have to pick the fruit early enough to get the structure that will age well. The 2023 vintage represents Ashley passing the torch to Erica, who took over as winemaker that year at Deodora. 2023 was a cold year. 2023 was very cold on the Sonoma Coa

podcast· 17:56Orange / Amber Wines [Re-Release]
(Originally released Oct 25, 2019) This orange (amber) wine episode discusses winemaking, the origins of the style, and what makes them unique. They aren't red wines, despite skin maceration and fermentation. They aren't white wines, despite being made with white grapes. And they are not rose' wines. They are their own thing, and are the subject of much more press and literature than a decade ago.

Lodi's Hillside Appellations: Exploring the Clements Hills, Borden Ranch, and Sloughhouse Viticultural Areas
Cobbled, orangy-red clay hillside vineyard typifying Lodi vineyards in the Borden Ranch AVA Continuing our California Wine Month journey through Lodi's wine history, we venture east from the flat, sandy land of the Mokelumne River AVA into dramatically different terrain. Rising into rolling hills of 150 to 590 feet elevation, three distinct sub-appellations showcase how Lodi's expansion over the past 25 years has been driven by the discovery of exceptional hillside terroir. The Clements Hills, Borden Ranch, and Sloughhouse AVAs represent a striking contrast to Lodi's historic core, featuring ancient volcanic clay soils, varied topography, and microclimates that have proven ideal for premium wine production. From the red clay loams that produce intensely colored Cabernet Sauvignon to the cobbled hillsides perfect for Spanish and Rhône varietals, these eastern appellations demonstrate why Lodi needed seven distinct sub-AVAs to fully capture its diverse winemaking potential.

videoWhy Southern Montalcino Is So Special | Brunello Geography Explained #wine #history #montalcino
Why does southern Montalcino produce such distinctive Brunello di Montalcino? In this short, I’m on location in southern Montalcino, exploring how geography and climate shape the wines. We look at the influence of Monte Amiata, the warming effect of the Tyrrhenian Sea, and the role of the rivers that define the appellation — the Orcia, Asso, and Ombrone. Filmed near Poggio di Sotto and Castelnuovo dell’Abate, this is a quick, clear explanation of why the southern zone of Brunello is warmer, more exposed, and stylistically distinct. Perfect for wine students, WSET candidates, and anyone interested in Italian wine and terroir.
