Join wine enthusiast Austin Beeman as he introduces you to PasoSecco, the first and only Charmat-style sparkling wine made exclusively with grapes from Paso Robles, California.  In this video, Austin talks with PasoSecco's founder and vintner, Chris Kern, to discuss the unique process behind this refreshing and delicious sparkling wine. https://pasosecco.com  Learn about the Charmat method, a tank fermentation style primarily used in Italy to make Prosecco, and how it differs from the traditional champagne production method. Discover why Chris chose to showcase Paso Robles' legacy and quality by using Grenache Blanc, a white Rhone varietal, as the base for PasoSecco. Chris also shares his passion for the Paso Robles wine region, highlighting the small-town feel, supportive winemaking community, and the perfect growing conditions that allow for the creation of world-class sparkling wines like PasoSecco. The tasting notes of PasoSecco, from the fresh-squeezed lime and green apple candy on the attack to the lemon curd flavor mid-palate and the clean, quick finish thanks to its high effervescence. Find out why this mouth-watering, high-acidity sparkling wine pairs perfectly with a variety of dishes, from oysters and fried chicken to creamy cheeses and fettuccine Alfredo. Finally, get insider information on where to taste PasoSecco for yourself during your next visit to Paso Robles. #PasoSecco #PasoRobles #SparklingWine #CharmatMethod #GrenacheBlanc #WineTasting #CaliforniaWine #prosecco THIS IS EPISODE 101 OF UNDERSTANDING WINE WITH AUSTIN BEEMAN http://www.austinbeeman.com/podcast  SPECIAL THANKS:  Chris Kern https://pasosecco.com  https://forgottengrapes.com  Thank you for helping with the coordination and planning of my enter Trip to Paso Robles and the Central Coast, California.

A tour of Graham's Port Lodge.  A tour guide explains the aging process and different types of port wines at Graham's cellar.  The guide mentions that the cellar has seven million liters of port aging, with the oldest wine dating back to 1882. He also discusses the different styles of port, such as Ruby and Tawny, and how they are aged differently to achieve specific flavors and characteristics.  The guide explains the process of bottling vintage ports and the significance of certain years, such as the first vintage port made by the Symington family in 1970.  The guide also mentions the different soils and methods used in the cellar to maintain the quality of the wines.
