An Oenophile Walks Into A Wine Store…
An oenophile walks into a wine store… I guess you are expecting a joke to follow, right, something along the lines of “A cowboy walks into a bar…” No, that’s not the intention here. The oenophile (yours truly) did walk into a wine store today (I stopped by my friend Zak’s Cost Less Wines store […]

A Tour of Wine Grapes: Tempranillo
Tempranillo 🍷 Photo by Holger Casselmann on Wikimedia Commons Tempranillo is a red wine grape with a history that dates back over 2,000 years, likely introduced to Spain by the Phoenicians. The name comes from the Spanish word  "temprano,"  meaning early, because this grape ripens weeks before most other Spanish red varieties. Spain is its primary homeland, particularly in the Rioja and Ribera del Duero regions, where it is used in the country's most famous red wines. Beyond Spain, Tempranillo is grown in Portugal (where it is often called Tinta Roriz and used in Port wine production), as well as in California, Australia, and Argentina. Tempranillo features a distinct range of aromas and tastes. Freshly made versions are fruit-driven, offering clear flavors of red cherry, plum, and tomato.

🎧The Wine Makers – Keith Beavers: The Great American Wine Tour (and a Raid on Phil’s Cellar)
Keith Beavers is a busy man. He’s a podcaster, wine educator, and tasting director for VinePair, one of the most widely read drinks publications in the world. He also hosts VinePair’s Wine 101 podcast, making the unnecessarily intimidating world of wine a little more approachable. Since Keith was last on the show, he’s been crisscrossing the country, exploring the ever-evolving American wine scene and releasing the first six episodes of The Great American Wine Tour, visiting a half-dozen iconic and emerging wineries along the way. This week, Keith sits down with Bart and Sam to talk about all of that, but let’s be clear, this visit was really about one thing: raiding Phil Coturri’s cellar. And Sam’s cellar, too. Because somehow, despite Keith’s vast experience tasting wines from around the world, he’d never really had the opportunity to dig into properly aged California wine. We decided it was time to fix that. We pull the corks on a few old bottles from Sonoma Valley and the Moon Moun
