Exploring the Wine Glass

It’s Monday, Let’s raise a glass to the beginning of another week. It’s time to unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and let’s begin Exploring the Wine Glass! Today we return to Winephabet Street, where the letter of the day is Q. There are a lot of wine terms, regions and varieties out there, but Q is a bit tough. In season 1, we visited Quarts de Chaume, so be sure to go back and listen to that podcast if you missed it.  But today, we are taking your questions and answering them on Winephabet Street.

It’s Monday, Let’s raise a glass to the beginning of another week. It’s time to unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and let’s begin Exploring the Wine Glass!

It’s Monday, Let’s raise a glass to the beginning of another week. It’s time to unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and let’s begin Exploring the Wine Glass! Today I am sitting down with Josh Harp, head winemaker for Jada Vineyards in Paso Robles.  

What do you get when you cross a veteran cardiac thoracic surgeon whose family emigrated to New York, with a Jersey girl? You get an incredible winery in Paso Robles. Jada Vineyards is located on the West Side of Paso Robles in the Willow District. If you have had the pleasure of visiting their tasting room, you will always remember the 360 degree vineyard views. Jada Vineyards wines have received some monster scores lately and I can tell you first hand the scores are well deserved.

It’s Monday, Let’s raise a glass to the beginning of another week. It’s time to unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and let’s begin Exploring the Wine Glass! Today we return to Winephabet Street to learn about the letter P, Petite Sirah! Often confused by new winelovers as just a smaller version of Syrah or Shiraz, it is in fact a completely different variety.  

Petite Sirah, also known as Durif, is a man-made variety that resulted from a cross between Syrah and Peloursin. The objective of the cross was to make a grape variety that is resistant to powdery mildew. It was first brought to California in 1884 by Charles McIver and had a similar history to Zinfandel during Prohibition thanks to its ability to travel cross country well.  

I had the privilege of sitting down with Steve Tenbrink of Tenbrink Cellars and his daughter Lisa Howard of Tolenas Winery in Suisun Valley, California. Petite Sirah Capital of the World.

It’s Monday, Let’s raise a glass to the beginning of another week. It’s time to unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and let’s begin Exploring the Wine Glass! Today I am sitting down with a group of wine writing friends to discuss some crazy wine laws. We know that the 3-tier system is a crazy enough, but these laws are downright insane! We can’t even begin to figure out what was going through the legislatures’ minds when they wrote these laws. For example: In New Jersey, if you are arrested for drunk driving, you have to pay the fine, BUT you are no longer eligible for vanity plates! Oh the horror! We had a few laughs on this one and I hope you do too!  

Riddle: What is brown, has a head and a tail, but no legs? Scroll down for the answer.
