Another Bottle Down

One of the most popular segments on the show, 2 judges from the Texas Wine Journal and 2 winemakers taste blind 6 wines made from Sangiovese from around the world.  Which one is from Texas, which is the favorite?  Enjoy the lively conversation! Guests:  Russell Smith (Celler Barcelona), Rob Moshin (journal judge and consultant), Penny Adams (Wedding Oak Winery), and Jesse Brantley (journal judge and Bev Director at Trattoria Lisina and Mandolas)

The 'Chef de Cave' is so much more than simply a winemaker.  With so many permutations of vintages, grape varieties, and vineyards, many consider the blending of Champagne to be the most difficult in the industry (along with Port).  Michel is in charge of all operations along with working with hundreds of growers in the Montaudon winery in the Côte des Bar in the South of Champagne.  There's something in here for everyone, from expert to folks just starting to learn about the intricacies of this magical region!

Check out Daniel McKeever, from Glazer's Domains and Estates, talk about the interconnectedness of vineyards, the constellations, and the human body.  Daniel has been delving into the subtleties of Biodynamics and teaches how to use the calendar to better enjoy your wines!
