Another great in person Cork & Taylor Wine Podcast interview with the Vanilla Guerilla himself aka Kirk Venge as we talk wine and life at his Calistoga Estate winery. Kirk was born and raised Napa and learnt winemaking first hand from his dad, Nils, who is the first American winemaker to get the prolific 100 point score from Robert Parker. What does that all mean? Well, Venge will share this and so much more on this weeks Cork & Taylor Wine Podcast.

I am still amazed that this weeks guest on the Cork & Taylor Wine Podcast would even spend 1 hour with me since he is all over the place aka Pitbull would be calling him Mister Worldwide. Another great chat with Carlton McCoy who is doing great things. One of the youngest to ever gain Master Somm status at 28 years old, host of CNN's NOMAD where we giggle about skating on ice for the first time (I giggled being Canadian as we are born on ice) and we talk about hitting the Napa wine scene by storm as Lawrence Wine Estates acquires Heitz Cellars, Stony Hill and Burgess Wineries. Great chat about his journey with a side of laughs!

1st interview to my Napa soiree and had to interview the man himself who almost got me divorced (not really but I hope not right!!)...Jeff Smith from Hourglass Winery in Calistoga joins me in an airstream, first time for this. Great wines and really insightful interview filled with some great stories and only a few laughs.

We headed to the Big Apple to try the 2020 vintage of Bordeaux at the UGCB trade tasting. Wow is all that I need to say and the 2020 vintage is stellar to say the least. I go over my most memorable wines of the tasting and some new favorites along with some old favorites. My wine cellar should be happy!

We head to the Big Apple to sit down and talk wine with Chateau Smith Haut Lafite Winemaker, Fabien Teitgen, from this famed and renowned Bordeaux winery. Fabien is our first French winery professional on the Cork & Taylor Wine Podcast and he represented well! We talk obviously about Bordeaux and what makes it such a unique wine growing region along with Chateau Smith Haut Lafite purchasing Napa's Flora Springs in 2020. Teitgen also talks about the 2020 vintage which was delightful to say the least.

We dive into Port and who better to have on the Cork & Taylor Wine Podcast then to have Oscar Quevedo from Quevedo Wines out of Portugal. His family has being doing Port for over 5 generals even though they started bottling under the family name in the late 90s. Very interesting and informative episode.
