2025/10/29

Saperavi is one of the oldest varietals and most important in Georgia's commercial winemaking industry. This grape tends to produce big, rich wines with a dense tannic structure. This specific producer uses an old Georgian winemaking technique called Qvevri. Qvevri is a large, ceramic egg-shaped vessel used for wine fermentation. The crushed grapes, stems, skins and seeds are placed in the qvevri then buried underground to maintain a stable temperature during the fermentation and aging process

Coravin + Spanish blend

2025/10/08

I bought a wine preservation system… aka a Coravin. The Coravin system basically pours the wine out of a bottle without removing the cork and ultimately keeps the wine fresh in the bottle. Today I showcase this new tool I bought on a fabulous red blend from southeastern Spain. Juan Gil has become one of my favorite Spanish wine producers this year. I love that they value quality and tradition while operating on sustainability by respecting the land, being energy efficient throughout the winery

Picpoul de Pinet

Fresh, dry white wine from the South of France has now become one of my favorites. In the Languedoc region there is a native grape called Picpoul that has been around since before the reign of Louis XIV. In this area, the terroir is made of Limestone, right by the mediterranean sea, which will ultimately give us lots of minerality and high acids coming through in the wine (literally love these kind of whites). This particular wine is special to this area and they have been bottling it in what is

Mosquita Muerta Wines have been around since 2009. I remember first trying them in Buenos Aires when visiting my family and honestly have loved every wine I have tried from them. After trying the wine in Argentina, I saw they started importing their wines to the US. This winery hand harvests their grapes and is located in one of the best regions in Argentina known for creating complex wines. Today’s blend consist of 60% Malbec, 20% Syrah and 20% Cabernet Franc.

Orange Wine from Sardinia

Orange wine from Sardinia made with three different grapes… need I say more? Not only did this cool label design on the bottle hook me in to buying it but also when I heard Cannonau (Grenache) was one of the three grapes involved, I had to get it. This blend consists of Vermentino, Cannonau & Nasco. Nasco is a native grape to Sardinia that has been used in many blends since the Roman times. This family winery is fourth generation owned and located in the southeast part of Sardinia (near the

Maremma is located in the southern part of Tuscany. This area is where the famous Sassicaia is produced. It’s safe to say this is a great alternative that won’t cost you an arm and a leg and can be easily accessible for everyday drinking. Muralia, today’s producer, practices organic farming and was built on passion, knowledge and respect for traditional and real values. This tuscan blend is hand harvested, destemmed, gently pressed and then goes into stainless steel tanks followed by bottle

Nosiola is a white grape varietal native to the region Trentino and derived it’s name from the Italian term for hazelnut (nocciola) due to it’s natural flavor profile. Founded by two friends in 1975, Mario Pojer and Fiorentino Sandri set out to protect and revive the local grapes of the area and produce wines which were almost forgotten. At Pojer e Sandri, they not only produce wine but also produce wine and whole fruit vinegars. Due to the German influence in the area, the vinegars perform very

Garganega Grape

“I admire wine, I respect it and try to bring out what is already written in the soil it is born and grows in.” This is the perspective that the grandfather of Graziano Pra passed down from generations to him and his father. I just love that they are all about how great wine reflects the land it comes from. Today, I open up a Soave Classico from the Veneto region located in the northeastern part of Italy. Garganega grapes are native to Veneto and are known for their role in the production of

Today’s wine is from a town in Aragon, Spain called Calatayud. This wine region is known for big and bold red wines mainly made from Granacha grapes.

Willamette Valley, Oregon is well known for producing Pinot Noir in Oregon. I am very particular about my Pinot Noirs, as you may know, so this one will be judged harshly. As I open up this Pinot Noir from Oregon I get into my fairly new transition into a new company. I am doing the same thing just in a different territory. I am so grateful to be able to continue bringing podcast episodes to life and I am excited for whats to come. Remember, “When you act out of present-moment awareness,

Maipo Valley in Chile is considered the “Bordeaux” of South America. Within the Maipo valley there are three sub regions known as Alto Maipo, Central Maipo and Pacific Maipo. I get into detail about each of the sub regions and the wine we open up today is actually from the Central Maipo area which is known to be the oldest winemaking area in Chile… aka the birthplace of Chilean viticulture. “Convenience requires no effort” is my story time topic as I open up this Cabernet to try.

Pinot Grigio from Veneto, Italy located in the Alto Adige region. This particular family has been growing vines in the Northeast of Italy since 1607. Their philosophy is to respect nature, grapes, territories and people living in them. I love that they are all about sustainable practices and producing high quality wines. What intrigued me about this one was the fact that it is produced with long maceration on the skins giving the wine a beautiful amber, rose gold color. These Pinot Grigio grapes

Pinot Noir - Malbec blend…. Let’s try it out! In my Graziano’s market quest, I came across this red blend and was immediately intrigued. This producer is known for high altitude wines and I love the story behind how this label was created. Five friends that love wine basically created Gen del Alma to keep on making awesome wines that are delicious! Coolest thing about today’s wine is that they leave it in a concrete vat for six months before bottling and releasing the wine. I get into the Summit

I came across a red blend from Argentina that uses the appassimento technique. The most known wine for using this method is Amarone (from Italy) but this is the first time I try this style wine from another country. Today’s blend is made up of 45% Malbec, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Bonarda and 5% Cabernet Franc. I dive deep into what this process of appassimento means and give you insight on the producer while opening up this 2015 vintage to taste. Milamore, today’s wine, is inspired by the

Southern Italian wines have never disappointed me and today I open one up from Calabria. This grape is called Greco and is known for it’s rich, velvety texture and aromatic bouquet. Apparently, this grape descended from greek settlers. They brought their vines and winemaking skills to this area and ever since then the land has been dedicated to producing wines. The producer I open up today is called Statti and they have been around since the 1700’s. Each generation of the Statti family has lived
