podcast· 46:29· Ep 507From Ribera del Duero to Tokaj: The Global Journey of Vega Sicilia With Pablo Alvarez
It is impossible to speak of the wines from Spain...at least the famous ones, without speaking about 1.) the Ribero del Duero and 2.) Vega Sicilia. When Wine Talks was asked to join a lunch at the Berverly Hilton Hotel and sit with Pable Alvarez, we responded with "Yes, please." Pablo Alvarez is the kind of guest who logs 135 days a year circling the globe, sharing bottles and stories that most of us only dream of tasting. You will come away with far more than just a sense of Spanish terroir—you'll get a rare look into the evolution of Vega Sicilia, Spain's most iconic and enigmatic winery, through the eyes of the family now behind its legacy. Alvarez demystifies what sets Spanish wines apart, charting their rise from unsung regions of Europe to an era where Spanish labels are now coveted on international shelves—and in the cellars of those in the know. You'll follow the Douro as it cuts through a tapestry of chalky soils and storied vineyards, and with it, unravel why only a fraction
podcast· 3:53À qui doit-on faire goûter le vin en premier ?
Vous êtes au restaurant. Le sommelier arrive avec la bouteille que vous avez commandée. Il la présente, l’ouvre et verse une gorgée dans un verre. La question est : dans le verre de qui ? Le vôtre ? Celui de votre voisin de droite ? De la personne la plus âgée ? De celui qui a l’air de s’y connaître ? Croyez-le ou non, cette micro-scène de quelques secondes concentre des siècles de conventions sociales, de rapports de pouvoir et de biais de genre. Dans ce nouvel épisode de Parlons Vin, la journaliste Alicia Dorey vous explique les traditions actuelles pour faire goûter le vin aux clients des restaurants. Et n'oubliez pas : parlons peu mais Parlons Vin ! Vous pouvez écouter cet épisode sur Figaro Radio, le site du Figaro et sur toutes les plateformes d'écoutes.

The Corkscrew Concierge’s August 2025 (In)Conspicous Consumption + Austrian Wine Spotlight
It's been a minute since I've written anything. I'd even sworn off social. To be honest, I was just tired of it. Between the death of my cousin who was like a sister to me, only 53, and like a 3rd parent to Thing 1 and Thing 2 (it’s been so hard for them), to totaling my car and the immense guilt associated with my son having some minor injuries, to so many other things that all seemed to crop up at once, I was numb. Lost. Listless. I literally was going through the motions, not wanting to do anything. I kept feeling this "responsibility" to The Corkscrew Concierge, which in and of itself was a problem. This was supposed to be a fun, creative outlet. But it had started to feel like work. I was uninspired. And then I was like "eff" this too. I seriously thought about just pulling the plug, but then decided to give it some time... And here we are again. I’ve again found some inspiration, some thoughtfulness. So what have we been drinking? Some good stuff. And interestingly enough, much o

Lodi Wine History: The Making of California's Most Dynamic Wine Region
Kerne Erickson 's artistic vision of the bucolic Lodi AVA and the region's signature, deep-rooted valley oak, native to the appellation's deep, rich sandy loam soils As we celebrate California Wine Month this September, there's no better time to dive into the rich history of grape growing and wine production in one of the state's most significant appellations. The Lodi American Viticultural Area stands as a testament to the evolution of California winemaking, transforming from a single designation in 1986 to a complex system of seven nested sub-appellations by 2006. This comprehensive exploration, originally authored by renowned wine journalist Randy Caparoso, traces the fascinating journey of how Lodi earned federal recognition as an AVA and subsequently subdivided into distinct terroir-driven regions. From the initial 85,000-acre appellation to the sophisticated understanding of microclimates that led to the Mokelumne River, Clements Hills, and five other sub-AVAs, this is the story

podcast· 14:48There’s No Rush – The Feminine Way to Sobriety, Slowing Down & Softening Part 2
Let’s start with this: you don’t need me. You don’t need another book, another podcast, another guru telling you what to do. You already have everything you need inside of you. The problem? We’ve been conditioned to search outside of ourselves instead of trusting what’s already there. In today’s episode, we’re continuing our conversation about The Feminine Way by diving into Principle #2: Luxurious Space. We’re talking about releasing the urgency, softening into trust, and giving yourself permission to slow the hell down. I’ll share how this shift has shown up in my life—from honoring my body’s rhythms to restructuring my mornings and even how Matthew and I changed our financial dynamic to create more flow. It all comes down to this: There’s no rush. Everything will get done, and when we stop forcing and start listening, life meets us where we are. Key Takeaways: 🌿 There's no rush—stop gripping so tightly and let life unfold. 🌿 Your schedule should support you, not control you. 🌿 If
