videoThe A-Z of Wine: 'W' is for 'Whole Bunch'
We explore whole bunch winemaking in the Bot River region of South Africa, in this case using a fabulous Syrah from Gabrielskloof. This wine is remarkably old world in style, with the crunchy fruit flavours coming from the whole bunch method, and silky tannins and spice aided by the inclusion of the ripe stems in the winemaking process.

The Wine Makers – Jennifer Rue, Oakville Ranch Vineyards
Jennifer Rue has been the winemaker for Oakville Ranch Vineyards for more than a decade. Her connection to the site runs much deeper. Her career has effectively orbited Oakville Ranch from the start. Her first winery job sourced fruit from the vineyard. She later worked for an early iteration of Oakville Ranch, then spent years at Miner Family Winery working with relatives of the ranch’s ownership. Different roles, same vineyard. Again and again. Along the way, she has worked along side Phil Coturri and Enterprise Vineyards to help this important, historical site realize its potential and attain its rightful place among the vaunted vineyards of the hallowed appellation. We talk a lot about the “only Grenache in Oakville,” but we’ve never really broken down the ranch itself,how it’s laid out, what makes it distinct, and why it behaves differently than the valley floor. Jennifer sat down with Brian and Sam and we got into it. She also pulled a couple of unicorns, a 2015 Oakville Ranch Ch

podcast· 36:31Clark Smith Double Gold Again
This episode marks another Clark Smith Double Gold win, on California Wine Country with Dan Berger and Daedalus Howell. This is also Clark’s 12th time as a guest on the show. Clark Smith’s first CWC episode was this one in 2017 . It was one of our very first shows! Today we can say he has filled the case, with his 12th guest appearance. No other guest has been on the show as often as Clark Smith, and few of them have won as many awards. One of the wines they will taste today is a recent Double-Gold medal winner. Clark begins by saying that he cut his teeth on European wine. That means wines that are balanced, that don’t have too much alcohol and will age well. “I don’t like to release them until they are ready and that means sometimes waiting 6 or 8 years in the barrel.” He doesn’t like woody wines. The barrels he owns are over 20 years old. Double Gold for the Petit Verdot Clark is one of the only winemakers who makes w

podcast· 1h 04m· S9E1Season 9 - Episode 1 - Wild Child & Maypop Wine Co.
Season 9, Episode 1: Maypop Wine Co. & Wild Child Wines In the premiere of Season 9, we uncork two boundary-pushing forces redefining Oregon wine: Maypop Wine Co. and Wild Child Wines . Maypop Wine Co., founded by winemaking duo Shea Guevara and Vince Kelsey, is a love letter to the Willamette Valley’s untapped potential. With deep roots in generational winemaking, they’ve traded tradition for exploration—intentionally stepping outside the region’s Pinot Noir spotlight to champion underrepresented varietals like Albariño, Gamay, and Riesling. Their approach is refreshingly low-intervention, allowing the vineyard and vintage to speak with minimal interference, resulting in vibrant, expressive wines that are as playful as they are thoughtful. Sustainability and innovation are woven into their DNA, from reusable glass to experimental fermentation techniques, all grounded in a philosophy that wine should be accessible, unpretentious, and enjoyed anytime.

Boutique Cognac Producers Are Betting on Transparency and Innovation to Shake Up the Status Quo
There’s no dichotomy in spirits like Cognac. With a history dating back hundreds of years, the famed French brandy is led by gigantic legacy brands owned by multinational conglomerates. These companies source most of their eau-de-vie from thousands of growers within the Cognac AOC, maturing and eventually blending it into a portfolio of products that start with entry-level V.S.

We head to Donnafugata who are a 5th-generation family winery, but who have only recently made the move to Sicily to explore the Etna Rosso style of wines made on the slopes of the volcano.

videoCave de Lugny Les Charmes Mâcon-Lugny
In this video, I take a closer look at Cave de Lugny Les Charmes, Mâcon-Lugny 2023, one of the current fine wine offers from Waitrose. I break down where the wine comes from, how it’s made, and how it tastes using a professional WSET SAT-style tasting note, and I also suggest a food pairing to help you get the most enjoyment from the bottle at home. This video is a taster of a new project I’m working on: the Class Glass or Bottle Club, a monthly wine club that will be launching soon. The club will be a monthly subscription, with new content added all the time, and will include: • Regular wine reviews of easily available bottles from shops like Co-op, Majestic, and Waitrose • Clear WSET SAT tasting notes to support wine study or improve tasting confidence • Interactive wine maps to help you really understand regions • Long-form interviews with producers and people working in wine • Special regional series focusing on places like Armenia, Georgia, and other lesser-known wine regions I
