🎧Rerelease of Ep 383: Domaine Wachau of Austria – One of Europe’s Best Co-Ops with Roman Horvath, MW
After Episode 620: The Greats -- the Wachau of Austria, I thought about re-releasing this show but I wasn't 100% sure. I decided to do it because in listening to Ep 383 again, it brought the region to life for me in a different and very useful way. I figured it would be helpful for you as well! In this show I speak with Roman Horvath, a Master of Wine, is the Winery Director of Domaine Wachau, which is among the leading wine producers in Austria. The Domaine is actually a cooperative, meaning it is run by and owned by individual growers, with Roman bringing them all together under his leadership. Domaine Wachau has been cited as one of the best co-ops in the world and is known for making wines of origin and pure flavor. The Domaine has a full range of Grüner Veltliner and Riesling that reflect their unique terroir – from small vineyard plots on steep terraces along the Danube to regional wines. Roman coordinates the vintner families, who work to capture the terroir of the historic wine

🎧The Wine Makers – Sonoma Vintage Festival, 2026
This week we sat down with Robyn Sebastiani from SVVGA, Tim Zahner from the Sonoma Valley Visitors Bureau and Mark Bodenhammer from the Chamber of Commerce to lay out the upcoming Vintage Festival. The Valley of the Moon Vintage Festival is California’s oldest wine festival, with roots dating back to 1897 in Sonoma, the birthplace of California winemaking. The festival began when local playwright and Sonoma Union High School principal Ben Weed staged a theatrical pageant called The Vintage Festival at the Gundlach family’s Rhinefarm in 1897. The play featured Bacchus, the Greek god of wine, resolving local problems in a festive, Bacchanalian celebration. The 1897 event was deemed “a great success” by the local press. In 1898, Weed returned with another Bacchus-themed drama, set in a natural amphitheater, where Bacchus and his followers helped a young man win a romantic contest. For decades, Sonoma residents celebrated the grape harvest with the Vintage Festival, even during Prohibition

LionSpirit & other Cypriot wines
This series of samples came my way recently from the island of Cyprus. I know Cyprus for one solid reason which is, Commandaria. It was on a sommelier exam and I missed the question, but not for knowing that the two main grape varieties are Xynisteri and Mavro. I’d memorized the crap out of that, but the other facet on the exam, I did not it, and it appears I never will. Commandaria is an ancient style of dessert wine produced on the island which lays claim to some 6,000 […] For full access, please log in or purchase a subscription.

Long Shadows 'Julia's Dazzle' Rose
Here is the outstanding 2025 ‘Julia’s Dazzle’ Rose by Long Shadows. Summer might be almost over but it remains Rose season. And surely Football and great Rose are a great match.  One of he top Rose wines made in Washington State, ‘Julia’s Dazzle’ is made my Long Shadows and winemaker Gilles Nicault. Each year this wine continues to impress, utilizing old vine Pinot Gris grapes that contribute greatly to the flavor density and mouthfeel. The 2022 Long Shadows ‘Julia’s Dazzle’ Rose (OB, 93) is a wine that is already singing but will become more and more complex as it ages. It seriously polished effort that is best consumed at a slightly warmer temperature. At around twenty dollars, the 2022 ‘Dazzle' is a steal in the Pacific Northwest Rose market. Learn more about these incredible wines at longshadows.com and here is my review of the 2022 Long Shadows ‘Julia’s Dazzle’ Rose. 2025 Long Shadows ‘Julia’s Dazzle’ Rose-  The outstanding 2025  ‘Julia’s Dazzle’ is a gorgeous bottl
