Roll out the (Bourbon) Barrel ... and put Wine in it?...

Glass in Session® Winecast ·

2020/07/10

Crossover products such as whiskey aged in wine barrels, and vice versa, are certainly not a new thing. But with much discussion around whether the new Bourbon-barrel-aged wines on the market are faddish or gimmicky, it's a good time to dig into the subject. Why Bourbon barrels? And are wines finished in Bourbon barrels any good? Resources from this episode: Bruichladdich: Why Bourbon Barrels?

From the Romans and monks to plagues, mini ice ages and marauding kings, English wine has had its ups and downs, but it has emerged strong, especially on the sparkling wine stage.

Wine & Oxygen from Grapes to Glass | S3E5

Glass in Session® Winecast ·

Oxygen can be both a blessing and a curse when it comes to wine making. From harvest to bottling, and even during service, oxygen has an opportunity to leave its fingerprints on the wine in our glasses. This episode merely scratches the surface of how oxygen, oxidation, and micro-oxygenation play in each decision in the wine making process, prevention and detection of faults, and effects on the finished style.

The time Valentina and Tomasso spent with us on the tour and tasting not only deepened our appreciation for this wine, but enriched our time exploring the culture, food, and wine in Sicily by many dimensions.

They aren't white wines, despite being made with white grapes. And they are not rose' wines. They are their own thing, and are the subject of much more press and literature than a decade ago.

A funny thing happened on the way to the dessert wine episode: Val went down a moldy rabbit hole. What emerges is an entire episode devoted to Noble Rot. How does Botrytis Cinerea affect the grapes, the vineyard practices, the wine making, and the finished wines? We go there in this corkdorkalicious exploration of the fungus characteristics, as well as a quick dip into various wine regions where the rot is sometimes a welcome addition to the harvest.
