Exploring the Wine Glass

It time to unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and let’s start exploring the wine glass! On today’s episode, I am diving into the world of Sherry with Certified  Sherry Wine Specialist Lucas Paya. Join me as I learn about the fortified wine made from white grapes that are grown near the city of  Jerez in Andalusia, Spain. During the conversation, we discuss how Sherry is made primarily from the Palomino grape, is produced in a variety of styles, ranging from light versions like the Fino  to darker and heavier oxidized versions such as the Pedro Ximenz as well as everything in between like the Oloroso. Thank you to Charolotte at IT Public Relations for organizing the interview and House of Lustau for providing the samples.

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 sit down with some of my wine writer friends and we discuss the increasing number of celebrities who are entering the wine business. Are they just slapping their name on a label to help a product sell or are they following their passion and truly wanting to learn what it takes to produce high quality wines. Would you buy a wine simply because a celebrity makes it?

Riddle:

You had me today

Tomorrow you’ll have more

As time passes,

I’m not easy to store.

I don’t take up space

But I’m only in one place

I am what you saw

But not what you see

What am I?

Today, I am taking you, thanks once again to the Paso Wine Alliance and Chris Taranto, on a virtual visit of distilleries in Paso Robles. Everyone knows that Paso makes exceptional wine, but we also make amazing craft beer and now a growing number of distilleries producing incredible spirits.

Join me as I learn about the distilling process from the pros. Aaron Bergh of Calwise Spirits, Alex Villican of ReFind Spirits and Max Udsen of Bethel Rd. Distillery. I love teaching people the process of tasting wine, but that is NOT how you want to approach tasting spirits. I’ll let them tell you the proper way as well as how they incorporate using the outstanding fruit from Paso to make quality spirits. And finally, we get the answer to the age old question of why is wine and beer a percentage in terms of ABV and spirits talked about as proof!

As you are listening, please take a moment to leave me a review of the podcast. Words can’t describe how appreciative I am of all who have left one so far, but I could always use more! The more I get, the more that dang algorithm will suggest me to new listeners!

So unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle, and lets learn about spirits!

Hey everyone thanks for listening in! Today we return to Winephabet Street with another special guest. Edit Bai is the winemaker for Chateau Dereszla in the Tokaj region of Hungary.  If you google Kabar, a white grape, Chateau Dereszla is the winery that pops up first. So we thought it was fantastic that we were able to learn about this Hungarian grape from an expert. I’d like to send out a very special thank you to Agnes Nemeth / Creative Writer, Editor, Founder of Hungarianwines.eu for being instrumental in organizing the introduction that allowed us to ultimately record this episode! So köszönöm Agnes!I am sure I completely destroyed the proper pronunciation! So let’s get right to it! It’s time to unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and lets learn about the white Hungarian grape variety Kabar on  Winephabet Street!

Slainte!
