  • Winery Buyouts.. Why are they Happening and are they Good for the Wine World

    12/02/2024 Duración: 01h07min

    It’s Monday, Let’s raise a glass to the beginning of another week. It’s time to unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and let’s begin Exploring the Wine Glass!  Today on the podcast, I enjoyed a riveting conversation with some of my wine friends. In 2023, there were a lot of winery buyouts. It seemed like another smaller brand was being gobbled up by the big players such as Gallo or Treasury. We questioned if this was a good thing or a bad thing. Plus, what would we do in that situation? Would we give up our brand and if so, what would be done with all that money?!

  • Orange Muscat on Winephabet Street

    It’s Monday, Let’s raise a glass to the beginning of another week. It’s time to unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and let’s begin Exploring the Wine Glass!  Today we return to Winephabet Street, where the letter of the day is O and it stands for Orange Muscat. Although the origins of Orange Muscat are not guaranteed, it is thought to be from Italy or France. It was once popular, but today it is not widely planted.  For this episode, we went directly to the source. When you google Orange Muscat, Quady Winery is number one on the display. Andrew Quady purchased a plot of land in Reedly, CA in 1980 and is the authority on the variety. Listen, as we discuss his road to winemaking (not a typical one,) how he fell in love with the grape and how the wine is made. It’s a fun one!    If you listen to a lot of podcasts, you know that many ask for patreon. We do not plan on doing this, but we do ask you to support the podcast by leaving a review.

  • Nero d’Avola on Winephabet Street

    11/12/2023 Duración: 01h05min

    It’s Monday, Let’s raise a glass to the beginning of another week. It's time to unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and let’s begin Exploring the Wine Glass!  Welcome back to Winephabet Street. Today the letter of the day is N and it stands for Nero d’Avola.  Nero d'Avola is synonymous with Sicilian Wine. It is the most notable indigenous grape variety. Although originally produced as a bulk wine, the times began to change in the 1990s, where it became the king of grapes in the region. To the eye, Nero d'Avola is known to be inky, with a deep red hue. On the palate, it exudes blackberries, cherries, and plums with an undertone of spice.

It is my favorite day of the year! I find it amazing to think that eight years ago, I decided to create a holiday that was dedicated to the best grape varietal there is and today, the holiday is celebrated around the world.  I will be hosting an X (formerly known as Twitter) chat tonight at 5pm Pacific and will be moderating a producers roundtable at 6pm Pacific. There is still time to register for the roundtable. It is free to attend and will provide you the opportunity to listen to producers who are fanatical about Cabernet Franc as well as ask them all your Cab Franc questions. The registration link is in the shownotes.  While you are listening, take a moment to subscribe, rate and review Exploring the Wine Glass.
