Exploring the Wine Glass

Do you remember your elementary school days? There were the small desks and short water fountains. You stayed in one classroom, but the subject you were learning about changed throughout the day. Oh, and don’t forget about recess! The best time of the day!

Back then, the three Rs were all the rage! Reading, Writing and Arithmetic. It is said that there are three learning styles: visual, auditory and kinesthetic. For wine lovers, kinesthetic is definitely our favorite modality. The best way to learn about wine is to taste it and over the last few months I was privileged to taste my way through the Three Bs of Italy.

On today’s episode, I am sharing another Raid Y(our) Cellar virtual event I attended hosted by Benchmark Wine Group on Barolo and Barbaresco made from Nebbiolo and Brunello which is made from Sangiovese. Better known as the Three Bs.

These virtual tastings are free to join but you may want to contribute in support of the United Sommeliers Foundation, a non for profit organization that helps wine industry professionals during times of hardship. If you’d like to make a donation you can click here.

Now, unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and lets discuss the 100% Nebbiolo regions of Barolo and Barbaresco.

Man cannot live on wine alone! No matter how much we try! But in all seriousness, as a winemaker, we admittedly drink a lot of wine, but sometimes our palate just craves something different. When that happens, we turn to beer and usually IPA. I can be found on untapped as lodolphin. If you are on that app, give me a follow and you’ll see exactly how much IPA I drink!

While we have been in confinement, virtual has taken on a whole new meaning. I have sat down and virtually clinked with many friends and although it doesn’t replace the in real life experience, it is really nice to at least be able to see the faces. Thank you to Gregory and Vine for putting this virtual tasting together with Jeremy Kosmicki, brewmaster at Founders Brewing. 

So unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle – or pop open an IPA and listen in to the conversation.

Hey everyone! Thanks for listening in! Today we are back on Winephabet Street where the letter of the day is H and it stands for the Hunter Valley. The Hunter Valley is located in the state of New South Wales Semillon is widely considered the iconic wine of the region. But in terms of plantings the most widely planted grape varieties in descending order, are Chardonnay, Semillon and Verdelho among the whites and Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot among the reds. So unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle as Debbie and I discuss the history, general characteristics and suggested food pairings for wines from the Hunter Valley.

HI everyone! I hope this podcast finds you and your loved ones safe and healthy. In today’s world, with tasting rooms closed (hopefully starting to open this week!) people are still looking to wine to comfort them and to pass the hours by.  Many wineries have gone to virtual tastings.

Dracaena Wines, as you may know does not have a tasting room, but these times have greatly affected us also. Normally the weekends of these months would spent at different winery events introducing our wines to new customers. Without these events, it is extremely difficult to reach new customers, so, we too have turned to virtual tastings. 

In today’s episode, listen in to some of what we discuss during a live tasting. Keep in mind that it is only a sample of what we discuss during a virtual tasting. The idea is to wet your whistle, not give you the whole enchilada, so there are segways into different portions of the event.

If this does peak your interest and you would like to schedule your own virtual event with Dracaena Wines, please reach out in an email at [email protected] or use the contact us form on the site. We appreciate your support and we are confident that you will enjoy the event but we know you will love the wine!

Enjoy!
