🎧The Wine Makers – The Gospel of Artie Johnson, Part III
Our good friend Artie Johnson returned for his third appearance on the show with one request: let’s talk about solutions instead of spending another hour dwelling on everything that’s wrong with the wine industry. As regular listeners know, we’ve always believed one of the best solutions is taking ourselves a little less seriously. So what better episode for that conversation than our milestone 420th episode of The Wine Makers Podcast? We sat down with Artie and fired up a doobie… er, doozie of a show. Along with an impressive lineup of Le Artishasic wines—including some fascinating new bottlings from the Rocks District on the Oregon side of Walla Walla—Artie brought notes, receipts, and a clear vision for breaking out of the industry’s doom-and-gloom cycle. Better yet, he’s already putting that vision into practice with his own brand. The real question is: will anyone else be bold enough to follow his lead? Especially his neighbors in Napa Valley? You’ll have to listen to find out. As

Nature’s Fury: Wildfire and Hail Hit Ardeche’s Vineyards

When a big vintage is still small - Pinot Noir in a cool climate
When winemaker Paul Mason says the 2025 vintage will go down as one of the biggest and earliest harvests on record, he's drawing on over 20 years of experience in one of the coolest parts of a cool climate wine region - the south end of Te Muna Valley in Martinborough, in the Wairarapa wine region. The entire region is home to 1,166 hectares of producing vines. Pinot Noir makes up 493.97 of these hectares* and is considered the flagship variety in the region. Today, Paul is the full ti...

Champagne vs Crémant: What Is the Difference?
Champagne and Crémant are traditional-method sparkling wines, but Champagne must come from the protected Champagne region, while Crémant comes from other designated European appellations and uses the grapes, climate, and winemaking traditions of those regions. Both wines create their bubbles through a second fermentation inside the bottle. That shared process gives Champagne and Crémant their…

The secret language of wine: what is mouthfeel?
Why do some wines feel silky, grippy, creamy or fresh, even before we begin to describe their aromas and flavours? Mouthfeel is one of the most important, and often overlooked, parts of the tasting experience. When you start making tasting notes to record your wine tasting experiences, you'll probably find that they are littered with terms like “smooth”, “rounded” or perhaps “fresh” or “full-bodied”. These are all words that refer to what we call mouthfeel. Mouthfeel, simply put, is the physical sensation that a wine (or other drink) creates in your mouth while you taste it. It encompasses all those other things that are not the aromas and flavours. And all those “other things” are really important in determining our experience of tasting a wine. As so often in wine, once you tune into it, you’ll probably find that you are already perceiving the elements of mouthfeel. Learning how to assess mouthfeel is also a key part of your wine tasting practice, helping you determine a wine’s balan

Champagne trends: single vineyard designation and low dosage, with Champagne Penet Chardonnet as one of the pioneers
Often, people talk about new trends every year, but trends in the wine world develop slowly and last for many years.

Bodegas Buezo, Arlanza, Spain
The winery of Buezo is in the rather overlooked DO arlanza region which sits just to the north of Ribera del Duero, yet yields quite different wines and only holds about two dozen wineries. Here we have the ‘current’ release which is from 2009 as the project looks to build upon a long heritage of aging. That said, this release is still quite fresh and elevated despite such long aging and is a fine wine. Admittedly, it’s a bit confusing as to how the wines are named and the winery […] For full access, please log in or purchase a subscription .

Kaesler The Fave Grenache 2025
Demanding your attention with every sip, The Fave from Kaesler is nothing short of an excellent example of Barossa Grenache. From 1930s vines, the fruit was hand-picked and whole-bunch fermented with wild yeast before spending 15 days on skins, it's a wine that balances power and poise with grace. Strawberries, vibrant red cherries and raspberry coulis burst from the glass, wrapped in a fine weave of spice that never overplays its hand. The textural detail is captivating, with a trail of brick dust-like tannins providing shape, persistence and character. There's terrific length and drive, yet it waltzes across the palate with elegance rather than force. An excellent Grenache that captures the variety's charm with confidence, finesse and irresistible moreish appeal. Go here. 95/100 Region: Barossa RRP: $60 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X

Cook & Co Fiano 2026
A Fiano that will certainly brighten your day, check this Cook & Co from the Clare Valley. Merlot vines were grafted over to Fiano in 2002 and the result is a wine that bursts from the glass with an aromatic lime hit that immediately throws out Riesling vibes. Lemon, lemon sherbet and lime zest keep the energy high, delivering a fresh, bouncy personality that's impossible not to like. Beneath all that vibrancy sits a wonderfully textured palate, with a minerally thread adding shape and class. There's terrific balance between its zesty citrus drive and fine texture, delivering effortless appeal. This is an upbeat, dancy wine with springtime written all over it. Pour a glass and try not to smile - I dare you. 92/100 Region: Clare Valley RRP: $28 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X

Stream & Stone Pinot Noir 2025
A new label from Angoves, this Stream & Stone Pinot Noir comes from Tasmania's Tamar Valley. Noticeably savoury from the first swirl, tilled earth, black tea, char and bacon hock set the tone, with burnt chocolate and dried herbs adding further layers of intrigue. The fruit takes a back seat to the earthy, savoury personality, while a bunchy texture brings a firm, grippy structure that shapes the palate. Like its Chardonnay sibling, the finish feels clipped and doesn't quite carry the length you'd hope for. That said, there's more presence and substance here, with complexity and structural grip making it the more compelling of the two. 90/100 Region: Tasmania RRP: $50 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X

Stream & Stone Chardonnay 2025
A new brand under the Angove banner, this Chardonnay comes from Tasmania's Tamar Valley. Lemon, lemon sherbet, green apple and tinned pineapple deliver a bright and energetic opening before white-fleshed nectarines and subtle licks of barbecued peach add interest. A vanilla slice note and a slippery pastry-like feel bring a gentle creamy touch, while a saline edge keeps the fruit in check. It's neatly composed, although the fruit is thinly veiled and the palate feels clipped, finishing sooner than hoped. There's enough freshness and balance to make it an enjoyable drink, but it stops short of delivering the depth and persistence that would lift it to the next level. In the end, it goes okay. 89/100 Region: Tasmania RRP: $50 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X
