Musee du Vin Ryugan 2024 Review – Delicate Japanese Wine
When we visited Japan in early 2026, I made sure to reserve some luggage room to bring home some unique Japanese varietals. One such grape was Ryugan, often called Zenkoji-shu due to its cultivation near the Zenoji Temple in Nagano. While distinctly different from a similar Japanese white grape, Koshu, which we also tried, they ... Read more

🎧Ep 609: A History of Champagne (How Champagne Became Champagne) – Part 1
This is part of a two-part series on the history of Champagne, which tells the story of how Champagne became Champagne! Photo: Champagne vineyards before mechanization. Source: Union des Maisons de Champagne I fell down a bit of a rabbit hole when I discovered an entire encyclopedia of the history of Champagne on the Union des Maisons de Champagne site. It was the equivalent of 200 pages of information on Champagne from its origins up until the 1980s and was detailed and fascinating. I tried to cull it down, but the information was just too vast and too interesting not to share! So this will be a two-parter. In this show I cover: The origins of the Champagne vineyard with the Romans in the late 400s through the Middle Ages The 13th Century when Champagne was used in the coronation of the French kings and began its life as a wine for royalty The changes from feudalism to sharecropping through the 1500s, with all the ups and downs in the fortunes of the region The grapes of the time and
