podcast· 38:51· Ep 60Parker liebt Spanien – Sie auch?
In aller Munde und von Kritikern wie Robert Parker hochbewertet, sorgen Weine aus Spanien für reichlich Gesprächsstoff. So stammt auch der Mövenpick Wein des Jahres 2026 von dort: der 2021 Marqués de Murrieta Reserva aus der Region Rioja. Grund genug, genauer hinzuschauen – und natürlich hinzuschmecken. Denn was steckt hinter diesen Parker-Punkten, und merkt man wirklich, ob es 95 sind und nicht etwa 93? In der aktuellen Folge von Weinfach machen sich Reto Scherrer und Karin Frautschi gemeinsam mit Vincent Poloczek, Online Category Manager bei Mövenpick Wein, auf eine ebenso neugierige wie genussvolle Spurensuche. Wie kommt es zu so einer Entscheidung, und hält die Reserva aus der Rioja im Glas, was der Titel verspricht? Doch damit nicht genug, denn wenn man schon einmal in Spanien unterwegs ist, wäre es fast schon unhöflich, nicht noch etwas länger zu bleiben. So führt die Reise weiter zur «Goldenen Meile», der Ribera del Duero, wo der 2020 Torre Albéniz Reserva der Bodegas Peñalba Lo

Clos du Soleil’s storyteller
Crafting a tale of time, terroir and gentle winemaking Michael Clark considers himself a storyteller, only, he says, “I’m not telling stories through words, but through wine.

podcast· 44:10How Mary Taylor Brings Affordable European Wines to the U.S. | Terroir, Tariffs & Family Growers
Check out all the great events Laurie has on the calendar in 2026 on her website at TheWineCoach.com/events including Sip & Style in Oxford, MD on 2/26 and Wine & Punchlines on 2/27 in Bridgeville, DE. In this episode of The Sipping Point, Laurie Forster sits down with Mary Taylor, founder of Mary Taylor Wine , to explore how she built a groundbreaking import company centered on authentic, affordable European wines. Mary shares how her passion for travel and discovery led her to create a négociant-style model that spotlights small, independent growers and puts their names—rather than flashy brands—front and center. We dive into what terroir really means, why biodiversity in the vineyard matters more than ever, and how traditional winemaking practices across France, Spain, and Italy are shaping some of today’s best values. Mary also unpacks the realities of navigating the U.S. wine market, including how tariffs and global economics impact pricing—and how she continues to deliver excepti
podcast· 44:55· Ep 596Ep 596: Back to Basics - Defining Old World & New World (and why it still matters)
In this show I go back to basics (the last time I covered this topic was in 2011 -- episode 7!!) and discuss the differences between the terms New World and Old World. Although it seems totally basic, there has been controversy over using these terms, with some writers saying they are antiquated, non specific, and need to be replaced. I disagree. I discuss the usefulness of the terms and why they should still exist as terms in wine from three main perspectives: Geographical and historical perspectives REAL terroir differences that make the wines different Differences in regulation make Old World wines very consistent (and they conform to stereotypes!) Here are links to the articles that I mention: Climate, Grapes, and Wine: Terroir and the Importance of Climate to Winegrape Production A New Reason to Embrace the "Old World / New World" Explanation of Wine by Tom Wark The anti-flavor wine elite, WineLovers Page Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon.

podcast· 3:45O QUE O VINHO TEM A VER COM O CARNAVAL?
Deus do vinho, da fertilidade e do êxtase, Dionísio ocupa um lugar central na mitologia grega e ajuda a explicar a origem de uma das maiores festas populares do mundo: o Carnaval. Neste vídeo, exploramos como os rituais ligados ao vinho, à colheita e aos ciclos da natureza moldaram celebrações que atravessaram séculos e culturas. Conhecido como Baco pelos romanos, Dionísio teria ensinado o cultivo da videira e a produção do vinho, difundindo práticas agrícolas e rituais festivos por onde passava. Suas celebrações, marcadas pelo uso de máscaras, música e vinho, simbolizavam a suspensão das regras sociais e a aproximação entre homens e deuses. Ao longo do tempo, essas festas dionisíacas influenciaram festivais romanos e, mais tarde, foram absorvidas pelo calendário cristão, dando origem ao Carnaval como o conhecemos hoje. Uma história que une vinho, mito e celebração em um mesmo fio cultural. NESTE VÍDEO, VOCÊ VAI VER 🍷🎭 🍇 Quem foi Dionísio e sua relação com o vinho 🏺 A descoberta mí

Lamentationes Desperatorum
I was wandering around the supermarket where I do the weekly shop recently, and as is my wont I bimbled over to the beer section to have a browse. I was pretty sure I wouldn't be buying anything, my beer fridges being pretty full of excellent lager after all, but it is a habit at the end of the shop to just take a peek. Now, while owning the fact that I do my weekly shop in a supermarket, and that I understand they have to offer what is more likely to sell, it was still a dispiriting experience. Unless you have read a vanishing small number of my posts on here, or any other social media platforms, you will know that I am a very irregular drinker of the old India Pale Ale - side thought, it seems almost jarringly quaint to see it spelt out in full rather than just acronymed down to IPA. Yes, I am predominantly a lager drinker, especially of beers I am buying in the shop or at the pub/taproom. Most of the top fermented beers I drink are my own homebrew, stuff like bitter, mild, stout, an

podcast· 56:35· Ep 91091: Rare Grape Varieties & Their Wines with Jolie-Laide Wines
How many incredible grape varieties are hiding in plain sight — simply because they don't fit the modern wine script? We dig into that question in this episode with Jenny and Scott Schultz of Sonoma's Jolie-Laide Wines, a winery built around chasing the unfamiliar and turning "pretty ugly" grapes into seriously compelling wines. We trace how Jenny and Scott's very different paths collided into a shared philosophy: start with great farming, intervene as little as possible, and let each site and vintage tell its own story. For vineyard owners and operators, the conversation opens up a practical discussion about risk, opportunity, and how alternative varieties can make both agronomic and economic sense. We also get inside their cellar to talk about what "minimal intervention" really means — early picking for natural acidity, whole-cluster fermentations, neutral barrels and concrete, and a deliberate refusal to erase vintage character. Even the labels change every year, reinforcing the ide
