videoThe A-Z of wine: 'D' is for 'Dão'.
'D' is for 'Dão'. As in the wine-producing region of Portugal! The Dão is high up in the centre of Portugal – as thin as it may be – between Lisbon and Porto, but further inland and high up in the mountains. So why have we picked this "Burgundy of Portugal"? Well, let's find out how a cooler, fresher place can affect the grapes that are traditionally used to make Port! Buy the wine: https://onlinewinetasting.club/products/dominique-morel-gamay-beaujolais

podcast· 53:31· Ep 505From Air Force Dreams to Napa Icons: Trevor Duling's Unexpected Wine Journey
When I recorded this episode, Trevor was the Director and Head Winemaker of the famed Beaulieu Vineyards. And, one of the reasons I ventured into a corporate winery podcast, was that very reason. I wanted to peel back the idea of a such an iconic winery becoming corporate and how much the "Board" had to do with the decision making; in other words, can a winery maintain its boutique expression despite having a huge beauracracy working in the background. Trevor Durling is now with Darioush and Nate Weiss has taken the helm (recently at Silver Oak). Trevor Duling is the kind of winemaker who almost ended up piloting B-52s before dedicating his life to the legacy and land of Beaulieu Vineyard—luckily for all of us, he decided that art, science, and agriculture in a glass was a more enduring pursuit than the cockpit. In this episode, you'll be swept from Trevor Duling's childhood inspirations, shaped by the tales of his heroic grandfather, into the heart of Napa's most closely-guarded secre

Olive Hamilton Russell: Oral History Interview
This interview is with Olive Hamilton Russell. In this interview, Olive talks about growing up in South Africa and her family's background in farming. She discusses moving to London and become enamored with wine, which led to her working in the South African wine industry and selling wine in the United States. Her introduction to Oregon was at the International Pinot Noir Celebration in 2015, and from there she sought to make her own wine label in Oregon. She discussed the steps to making that happen, how she learned about winemaking, and what it has been like to have her own wines to sell. She also talks about the future for herself and for the Oregon wine industry. This interview was conducted by Rich Schmidt at Linfield University’s Nicholson Library in McMinnville on February 24, 2026.

videoPriorat’s Famous Llicorella Soils Explained #history #science #wine #priorat
Join me in Priorat, one of Catalunya’s most historic and distinctive wine regions. I’m visiting the Mas Doix vineyards near Poboleda, exploring century-old bush vines planted on the region’s iconic llicorella slate soils. These shallow, nutrient-poor, heat-conducting slate layers are a defining feature of Priorat and play a major role in producing the area’s powerful yet graceful red wines. In this video, I walk through the steep natural contours of the vineyard, show the structure of the llicorella soil beneath my feet, and explain why these conditions are so important for vine stress, drainage, and intensity of flavour. If you have any questions about Priorat, slate soils, or the wines of Catalunya, feel free to leave them in the comments.
