VinePair Podcast

To prepare for Thanksgiving, Adam, Joanna, and Zach chat about their own holiday traditions, as well as explore why despite how Thanksgiving definitely feels like a drinking holiday, it lacks an obvious drink to call its own.

With the holiday season around the corner, Adam, Joanna, and Zach wonder why no one really drinks dessert wines here in the US. Is it the sweetness, the confusing nature, or just the fact that we Americans tend to eat fast and move on to other things.

As the US Dollar has reached parity with the Euro over the last few months, American consumers have wondered whether they might see friendly prices on European wines and spirits. Adam, Joanna, and Zach chat about Adam and Joanna's time at Wine2Wine in Verona, Italy, and then discuss how the current state of affairs might not alter prices much, and why perhaps the best thing to do is instead to plan a trip to Europe, if you can.

In the wake of Gruppo Campari acquiring a 70% stake in Wilderness Trail, Adam, Joanna, and Zach explore why the bourbon market remains red-hot, why the primacy of Kentucky remains unchallenged, and speculate on which distillery will be the next to sell. Then, they taste the Small Batch Bottled in Bond from Wilderness Trail.

Zach explores one of France's most exciting up-and-coming wine regions, Costières de Nîmes, with Nicolas Ricombe, owner of Château de Valcombe. Topics include the ways in which the combination of classic Rhône Valley soils and Mediterranean influence create a unique growing region, the preponderance of younger winemakers with international experience, and the most exciting red and white varieties, as well as how they pair beautifully with many different dishes and cuisines.

With much of the economic world projecting a recession in the near future, Adam, Joanna, and Zach discuss how previous recessions have impacted the drinks industry, and whether a recession would actually eat into the premiumization trend or not.

After touching on it last week, Adam, Joanna, and Zach are forced to discuss the apparently-real trend of the vodka water: who actually enjoys this drink, what purpose does it serve, and is it almost admirable in its lack of pretension?

As pop-ups and bar takeovers become more and more popular, Adam, Joanna, and Zach discuss whether they actually do much for drinks lovers, and if not, why so many famous (or aspiring) bars go down that path. Sure, you can take a drink around the world, but can you take the experience of a beloved, iconic cocktail bar?
