Wine Talks first sat with Rex in 2021 as he was pondering a Sideways musical. In just a few years, the musical is touring Spain to sold-out crowds and he is holding Sideways concerts in Napa Valley. We caught up with Rex in Napa Valley recently to find out what he had up his sleeve and to recapture some of the great moments in the movie. Rex explained the complicated relationship between the author and screen writer and more importantly tells us of the new stuff coming down the pike. I, for one, am

Once in a while, you run into someone who is a force of nature and come away with “I want her on my team.” This is Jessica Kogan. You must realize that sometimes there are people smarter than you and that there are people that have landed in their rightful place with an innate understanding of their craft. This is Jessica Kogan. There are those people who when you leave their presence have to reflect on what just happened. This is Jessica Kogan. Listen for yourself to see if you agree…

Etude is exemplary in its approach to sustainability. When Jon told me during our interview that the sheep were out on the south 40 aerating and churning the soil and mulching the vegetation, it conjured up a vision of old. This type of farming and wine production is a discipline more than a method. It is too easy to let the process go for simpler less sustainable methods. And for Jon, the discipline is real. We got into the weeds (pun intended) on farming, winemaking, community responsibility,

2023/02/16

The concept of organic wine farming is really quite old. If you think about it, vineyards were organic for thousands of years before the invention and use of pesticides. Katrina and her husband were the first certified organic vineyards in California and if that wasn’t enough, they became the first biodynamic vineyard certified in California. A fabulous conversation that took us in many directions…but one thing is for sure, the wines are extraordinary and are exemplary versions of organic examples

The study of wine will take you all over the world. It is fascinating and intoxicating (pun intended). It is said that all roads of wine curiosity lead to Burgundy. The history, the lifestyle, the wines, and the people. Meet one of the most influential people who help shape not only today’s landscape of Burgundy but the landscape of Burgundy’s future. Frédéric truly believes there is a steward of the land for the next generations, which takes extreme humility. This is the word I would use to

The formidable Winc is in bankruptcy under the rules of Chapter 11. They were one of the largest Direct To Consumer wine companies in America and they failed. The business failing is one thing, and that happens all the time for various reasons. I am speaking of the failure to the consumer. To the trusting aspiring wine buyer who was hoping they were on to something cool. Business failure is felt by the banks, by the suppliers by the employees, but the failure to the consumer wreaks havoc on trust

Wine and war is a subject close to my heart. I had been studying it when I stumbled across the book of the same name. What a story about the Nazis and the French sparring during the Nazi occupation during World War II. The detail that Don and Petie were able to convey as to the punches and counter-punches over the wine trade is inspiring and telling. This is a must-know story and a must-know part of wine history.

She wants wine to be an approachable beverage to all. Passionate about removing barriers for women and people of color into the wine industry, Chasity has covered the gamut of places to create the force. She enjoys the camaraderie of the trade and likes speaking wine-geek, but throttles herself when among family and friends…thus creating the “bougie” wine cousin.

When he landed his first job at the iconic Wine Cask in Santa Barbara, he was asked to stock the fine Burgundy section in order of vineyards from north to south; this is a tough task for an experienced wine academic, let alone a “first day on the job” kinda thing. Everything has its purpose, and this task was the catalyst for his fascination for wine and Burgundy. You will find Mathew engaging, intelligent, and endearing as he admits the money he lost in the wine business and his tremendous success

Sandra and I recently had dinner with famed director, David Zucker and all we did was laugh and talk about the future and what is in store. As he is preparing to release a new book, on the making of the movie Airplane, I thought it would be nice to get a glimpse of David from our last podcast. Sometimes we only see celebrities as they are after success, but they are just as human as you and I with compelling stories to tell. You will find it entertaining, interesting, and eye-raising.

Season 13 has come to a close and we could not be more excited for our upcoming 14th season! This past season, we had the privilege of hearing from a variety of guests; Liam D'Arcy, who effectively calls himself the wine "idiot"; Kira Ballotta, a learned woman and her wines reflect a matureness toward winemaking; winemaker Dr. Robert Hollander, who was diagnosed with incurable prostate cancer; and many more!

Kira brings a whole new level of articulation in describing her approach and knowledge about wine. It is so important to understand the history of wine to get an appreciation for how you should go about your trek through this world.

Sitting with Jess Lander is like sitting with your best friend. She is open, fun, and interesting while also informative, cautious, and inspiring. You will learn that wine writing doesn’t come easy for most. Even the most experienced writers sometimes feel like they have run out of subject matter or just plain can’t get their thoughts on paper. For Jess, the ideas seem to flow from her mind to her tablet and she never looks back. Though we spoke for an hour, we hardly touched on all the subjects
