Exploring the Wine Glass

Today I am sharing a Zoom event that was arranged by the Paso Robles Wine Alliance. They hold the virtual chats on Wednesday afternoons at 3pm Pacific if you would like to join one in the future.

Listen in to learn from three of the top Biodynamic winemakers.

But before we get into that, I’d like to share a new 5 star review of the podcast from Freckles62. Take a trip with Lori to discover so many great stories about what it takes to make great wine. She’s poured her heart into discovering fascinating stories behind wonderful brands and bottles and helps to bring to life all the hard work that goes into the glass.

Located in the center of Chianti Classico stands an impressive castle that dates back to the middle ages. The Brolio Castle is the home of the oldest winery in Italy and the once home of Baron Ricasoli. The Ricasoli family has played an important role in not just the Chianti wine industry but also to the existence of Italy as a unified country itself.

On today’s episode, join me as we were guided through the vineyards and the winery by Francesco Ricasoli himself.

Welcome to another episode of Exploring the Wine Glass. Today we return to Winephabet Street. So sweep those clouds away and come where the wine is neat. Come join me on Winephabet Street.

Today’s letter of the day is G and it stands for Glera. Originally known as Prosecco, but as the region became a DOCG in 2009, the name was changed to Glera, the variety term to avoid confusion. Although the true origin of Glera is not proven, it is generally accepted that it originates from Prosecco, which is located near the Italian-Slovenian border.

Today I am drinking Terre de San Venanzio Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Fortunato. In between you raising a glass of Prosecco to your lips, please swipe to rate and review the podcast so that others can find me. Thank you.

As we continue to social isolate, there seems to be more and more time for television. I actually finally signed up for Netflix – I may have been the last person on earth who wasn’t watching Tiger King – and now,  I must admit it is freak show that you just can’t turn away from.

When I wasn’t watching the freak show, I scrolled over to Amazon Prime and found a movie titled Tin City. I was introduced to the film late last year through an email from a marketing team, but never had time to watch, so I figured, now was as good a time as any.

For anyone who follows my blog or listens to this podcast, you know that I adore Paso Robles. That’s where we chose to start our winery and where we see ourselves for the rest of our lives, and we have personally seen how Tin City has grown. Not only has it grown, but it has played a major role in the increasing recognition that Paso Robles has seen. Plus, it is just a great place to visit. You will often see us there, especially after a long day of wine sitting and enjoying some Barrel House Brew.

Enjoy listening as I interview Dina Mande, director and producer of the film, Tin City. - "A documentary featuring rebellious creative winemakers, brewers and distillers working at the razor's edge of their craft. "

I hope that my podcasts are helping you through the long days of social distancing. As we begin another week, I wish safety and health to all of you.

Today’s podcast is another virtual tasting trip.  This one took me to, although I have never been, one of my favorite places on earth. I can close my eyes and take a sip of wine from this region and I can see myself walking on a stunning sand beach. I imagine myself in the center of the most beautifully green land that I have ever seen. There are women diving for crustaceans and of course there is wine.

Although the region does produce some lovely red wines, they are known for their whites. Their reputation for salinity and acidity in their wines, makes winelovers crave them. And today a group of wine lovers got together over Zoom, and enjoyed a glass of Albarino together while learning about the magnificent wine region known as Rias Baixas. 

Thank you to Gregory and Vine for arranging this happy hour and thanks to the wonderful wine educators , Rick Fisher  and Kat Thomas for leading the journey.
