Beauty of Age
Wine is better with age. No, it is not a universal truth, but lots and lots of wines improve with age. “Improve” might not even be the right term. When we put the wine into the cellar (whatever your cellar looks like, as long as it is not a shelf next to your stove which […]

FIGGINS
The ‘wow’ factor 2023 FIGGINS ‘Caves’ (OB, 100) is a perfect wine made by Chris Figgins. It is my pleasure to share the extraordinary wines of FIGGINS, founded by Leonetti proprietor Chris Figgins. What began more than a decades ago, FIGGINS has a gorgeous, brand new winery facility outside of Walla Walla up Mill Creek road. They give you world class hospitality at this scenic location.  The caves underneath the winery are incredibly expansive and an architectural marvel. Many years in the making, the winery is one of the great spots in the Pacific Northwest to taste, with expansive views of the entire valley. It is one of my favorite spots in Washington to taste and take in the views. Over the past decade the Estate Red Wine has continued to improve. The wine initially needed a ton of time to be approached. Now their Estate Red Wine can be more utilized in its youth and has emerged as a fleshier, more full-throttle powerhouse. Depending on the vintage, it tends to be primarily Ca

He Turns 15,000 Bottles of Sparkling Wine by Hand Every Day. His Craft Could Soon Disappear
Hand riddling sparkling wine is a centuries-old tradition of methodically moving sediment into the bottle’s neck by subtly turning the bottles every day. As mechanized riddling becomes more common, preserving the centuries-old craft will depend on training a new generation of riddlers. Here’s why it’s still important.

🎧Ep 622: Food and Wine Pairing for Fall
With the equinox behind us, it is officially fall in northern hemisphere – a return to normal routines after the lazier days of summer. The leaves are changing, the days are getting shorter, and we're taking out the jeans and sweaters for the cooler weather and that means it's also time for fall flavors in food and in wine. Photo Credit: Valiphotos from Pixabay. Root vegetables like squash and pumpkin, foods with warm spice preparations, and earthy, richer flavors with butter and savory herbs are on our radars. Many of us shift our wine selections to warming wines that balance earthy and savory flavors – lower acidity, rounder, softer wines in red and white (and occasionally rosé and sparkling) In this show, I offer pairings for fall food with both! I cover both vegetable and meat dishes in the show -- mushroom and squash dishes and soups, roast chicken, pork chops, and chili are all on the menu with the reds and whites to match! A fun show with useful info, for sure! Full show notes a
