Season 5 kicks off with a sparkling wine style known as pétillant naturel or pét-nat. These wines are made in a method similar to the ancestral or ancient method that dates back over 500 years.

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?

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.
