The Wine CEO Episode #202: Visit the Oldest Port House with me, an interview at Kopke
🍷 Inside Kopke: How Port Wine Is Made | Styles of Port Explained | Oldest Port House in Portugal In this exclusive interview filmed in Portugal's Douro Valley, I sit down with the viticulturist and marketing manager at Kopke, the oldest Port wine house in the world, founded in 1638. Together, we break down the basics of Port wine production, including how Port is made, why fermentation is stopped early, and how fortification shapes its signature sweetness and structure. If you've ever wondered what actually makes Port different from still wine, this episode is for you. We also explore the main styles of Port wine, from Ruby and Tawny to Colheita and aged Ports, and explain how aging, barrels, and time create dramatically different flavor profiles. Whether you're new to Port or looking to deepen your wine knowledge, this conversation gives you a clear, approachable foundation. Finally, we talk about what makes Kopke truly special—its legacy as the oldest Port producer, its focus on sin

Las especias son uno de los mayores desafíos para el vino. No porque “no mariden”, sino porque cambian cómo percibimos el vino. Curry, pimienta, canela o cardamomo no actúan igual… y el vino tampoco responde siempre igual. ―――――――――――――――――――――― Esto es MeLoDijoBraga El Podcast.

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, I sit down with Amanda Johnson of Spy Valley Wines for a thoughtful and refreshingly honest conversation about family, place, and the future of wine. Amanda shares the story behind her family’s winemaking journey, what makes Spy Valley’s wines so distinctive, and why sustainability isn’t a trend for them—it’s a responsibility. We dive into how thoughtful viticulture shows up in the glass, exploring the vibrant character of their Sauvignon Blanc and the elegance of their Pinot Noir, while also touching on the exciting shifts happening across the wine world right now. It’s a conversation rooted in tradition, driven by innovation, and grounded in deep respect for the land.

Hop to Murphy & Rude Mother
I don't really post all that often on here about my homebrew, or at least not as often as I actually brew beer in my garage. I am more likely to post pictures of grains, hops, and packets of yeast on my main Instagram account , I have a separate one for my book, " Virginia Cider: A Scrumptious History ", if cider is more your thing... Since the twins have reached an age where they don't need constant oversight, I have been able to find the necessary time to myself to brew. Kid related side, I popped into Selvedge last Friday and the bar staff made a point of thanking me for the fact that when my kids are in the taproom they are impeccably well behaved. We had been in for lunch and a pint the previous weekend and there were kids roaming the taproom unsupervised, which I know is a pet annoyance for many, and I fully understand that. In my world it is one thing to be a "family friendly pub/taproom/whatever you want to call it" but it is incumbent on families to likewise be pub/taproom/wha

podcast· 54:40· Ep 595Ep 595: Croatian Wine Revisited -- An Overview and Conversation with Patron and Listener Bevis Sydney
This show is a refresh of Episode 371 with a new take! In October of 2025, I visited Croatia on a scouting trip with my friend Brett from Walk & Wine Croatia (check them out and take a trip with them! Marija and Barişa are the best guides!) to see if there was a possibility of me hosting a patron trip there! It was a fantastic trip and I learned so much about the country and the wines. Photo: View from Rizman Winery. Credit: WFNP Just two weeks before I went, Patron, listener, wine educator, previous pod guest cohost (Ep 522 -- the Wine Movie Podcast), Bevis Sydney, visited to Croatia on a family holiday. He and I compared notes and they were nearly identical. I enlisted his help to do this show as a look into our shared perceptions -- great and less great. I cover all the basics in a brief review on the country and then Bevis and I do a deep dive into the main grapes of Dalmatia and beyond. We come to the conclusion that the whites Grk and Poşip are the best wines we tasted, and the r
podcast· 1h 19mBeef, Butchery, and Non-Classic Pairings with Kevin Smith and Nelson Daquip
In this episode of GuildSomm: Into the Glass, we chat with Kevin Smith and Nelson Daquip of Beast & Cleaver in Seattle about beef, butchery, and non-classic wine pairings. Kevin Smith is originally from London, where he discovered the joy of cooking early in life. He found his way to butchery and in 2019 opened Beast & Cleaver with his wife, Polly. Their latest venture is Little Beast, which is focused on traditional London pub fare, using the whole animal. Kevin was a James Beard nominee for Best Emerging Chef in 2023. Nelson Daquip moved to Seattle from Hawaii and fell into wine while working at Seattle's iconic Canlis restaurant, where he worked his way up from food runner to wine director. He joined the Beast & Cleaver team last year to curate service and beverage for both Beast & Cleaver and Little Beast. Thanks for listening. If you enjoy this episode, please consider leaving us a review, as it helps us connect and grow the GuildSomm community. Cheers!

videoCan Wine Save The Planet Food Forests
A food forest is a mix of trees, shrubs, and other plants for food. Think nut and fruit trees with berry bushes, squash, or other ground vines, tuber, and root plants. You have layers of plant life. We were able to see a food forest early on at Troon Vineyard. They planted rows mixed with trees, shrubs, and smaller plants on contours. This contour planting also acts as a buffer for erosion. Between the curved rows of mixed plants, 19 feet of land were left for grazing, planted with rye, clover, and other foraging plants for the sheep. They alternated the trees in their rows with fruit and nitrogen-fixing trees in a wide range of species, including many stone fruits. Then there are the shrubs, with sunchokes, artichokes, raspberries, herbs like chives, mint, yarrow, and calendula, and then they added annuals like squash. This food forest will provide biodiversity on their property. Flowering plants provide food for bees, and the trees, shrubs, and other plants will provide fru

podcast· 21:45031 The Joy of Simplicity & Introducing the Freedom Formula
In this episode of the I Quit Wine podcast I discuss the importance of simplicity in quitting alcohol and introduce a new program for alcohol-free living. Simplicity and constraint can significantly ease the decision-making process when quitting alcohol I have created the "IQW Freedom Formula," a comprehensive 30-day program to help women quit drinking The program offers tools for managing cravings, emotional sobriety, and addressing underlying reasons for drinking I emphasize the ongoing nature of emotional sobriety and the importance of continual self-work Simplicity is one of my top values, along with spaciousness and freedom Constraint concept: fewer choices lead to more ease and simplicity Analogy: Low-frills supermarkets (e.g., Lidl, Aldi) offer less choice, reducing decision fatigue Quitting alcohol eliminates complex decision-making around drinking, reducing mental burden Example: My weekend alone - only one alcohol-free beer consumed, contrasting with past behavior Includes fi

videoSTILL English wine - Davenport Redmoors Pinot Noir 2022
Another still red English Pinot Noir from Davenport. In the woods again, but this time it's even darker! This video is, videographically speaking, a trainwreck - the lighting conditions were awful, and I seem to have managed to break another lav mic, so I had to fall back to the internal microphone on my camera. Which isn't great, but I attempted to remove some of the background noise during editing. So the video both looks and sounds bad, and the wine isn't strictly relevant to the channel, not to mention the channel is already an incredibly niche interest. Could this video be any more destined for utter YouTube obscurity? If you'd like to see me cook a burger in the woods then that video is here: https://youtu.be/kh7xOnk9V4g

videoCan Wine Save The Planet Insectiaries
Insectaries are areas that create healthy homes for insects. SNAP – Shelter, nectar, alternative prey, & pollen are the things you can provide for insects, according to Dr. Steve Wratten in New Zealand. Not all insects are "pests." IPM – Integrated Pest Management controls pests by using beneficial insects. We all love ladybugs. They are vicious predators of aphids. Your mom loved these very cute, stone-cold killers because they protected her roses! In the vineyard, you can grow cover crops to attract beneficial insects or set up areas between the blocks to make a home for them. Insectaries, create biodiversity and provide a natural way to control “pests.” For more on Insectaries, vist https://canwinesavetheplanet.com There, you can also learn more about our documentary project and find out how you can be a part of this project! #canwinesavetheplanet #savetheplanet #biodynamicwines #Regenerative #Earthday #earthday2024 #gogreen #documentary # EcoFriendly #Wine #Organic #Far
