Mr. Wine Guy Podcast

In Episode 67 of the Mr. Wine Guy Podcast I had the privilege of sitting down with my wife Jennifer Gallagher as we shared our thoughts on the Cobden Wini Wines, 2016 Pinot Noir out of the Russian River Valley of Sonoma, CA by Owner and Winemaker, Mark Davis.

This segment was previously known as my "After Party Pick Of The Week" but after a conversation between Jennifer and I we decided to change the name to "Wine Night Stand, Where Anything Goes."

I used to promote Wine Night Stand's when I originally came up with the concept for my Pick of the Week but the meaning behind the name is to love and appreciate wines in the company of family and friends with no strings attached, and no reservations. This is exactly what you can come to expect in these epsiodes as I'm sure you're already aware if you've tuned in!

These epsiodes are completely off the cuff and full of so much energy and personality and it should come as no surprise that we've already had a little wine at this point.

If you ever have a quesion about wine, or one that pertains to this feature, simply jump on LIVE every Monday evening at 7 o'clock, PST and we'll go over your question during the podcast. You can also submit questions ahead of time through Instaram DM.

So sit back, relax, and get ready, because you are going to love this episode.

Cheers

In Episode 66 of the Mr. Wine Guy Podcast I had the privilege of sitting down with Mark Davis, Owner and Winemaker for Cobden Wini Wines and Winemaker for Arnyca Cellars out of Napa Valley and Sonoma, CA.

In this episode Mark shares his incredible journey about when it all started, literally packing up his car and traveling across country to accept an intern position in Northern California in pursuit of a dream of working full-time in the wine industry.

Mark talks about what inspired him to create Cobden Wini Wines in 2012, the meaning behind the name, how working in other parts of the world actually strengthen his ability as a winemaker, and how the support of his family and friends have really served him the most along his journey.

Mark also talks about what it means to give back 4% of his total annual revenue to small local animal programs and the privilege it is to make wines for the amazing Steve Distler, Owner and Vintner for Arnyca Cellars.

Mark is such an incredible guy with an undeniable passion for what he does and a hunger to literally go out and get whatever it is you want out of life, which I know will resonate with you more than anything today.

So sit back, relax, and get ready, because you are going to love this episode.

In Episode 65 of the Mr. Wine Guy Podcast I had the privilege of sitting down with my wife Jennifer Gallagher as we shared our thoughts on the Pillsbury Wine Company, 2016 "Roan Red" Blend out of Wilcox, AZ by Owner and Winemaker, Sam Pillsbury.

In Episode 64 of the Mr. Wine Guy Podcast I had the privilege of sitting down with Sam Pillsbury, Owner and Winemaker of Pillsbury Wine Company out of Wilcox, AZ.

I am so incedibly excited for this episode for a couple reasons, 1 because this was my first ever LIVE podcast interview, and 2 because this was the first time I've had an Arizona Winemaker on the show which means a lot to me because Arizona is where I live.

In this episode Sam talks about his previous career in the film industry directing and producing over 31 series TV dramas, network TV movies, cable movies, and feature films.

Sam talks about the privilege it is to make wines under his own personal brand Pillsbury Wine Company where he produces over 20 different wines, all from his 100 acre Wilcox Bench Vineyard in Cochise County, AZ.

Sam also shares what it meant to receive Winemaker of the Year in 2017 from the Scottsdale League of Arts and what it means having received nemerous awards for his wines over the years ranging from multiple Gold and Silver medals to even best in class.

These are just a few of the things you are going to get to hear in this podcast as Sam delivers in so many ways and brings such an incredible amount of value to the show through hard work, discipline, and a personality that won't take you long to find yourself captivated in!

So sit back, relax, and get ready, because you are going to love this episode.

In Episode 63 of the Mr. Wine Guy Podcast I had the privilege of sitting down with my wife Jennifer Gallagher as we shared our thoughts on the Caraccioli Cellars, 2013 Brut Rose out of the Santa Lucia Highlands of Monterey California by Winemaker and Director of Operations, Scott Caraccioli.

In Episode 62 of the Mr. Wine Guy Podcast I had the privilege of sitting down with Scott Caraccioli, Winemaker and Director of Operations for Caraccioli Cellars out of the Santa Lucia Highlands of Monterey, California.

In this episode Scott talks about how it all began for Caraccioli Cellars back in 2006 and the privilege it was bringing on Michel Salgues, founding winemaker for Roederer Estate and arguably one of the best sparkling winemakers California has ever seen.

Scott talks about the benefits of making wines in the Highlands and how the substantial amounts of winds and early sunlight allow the grapes to perfectly ripen and develop, creating the mouth watering acidity they're really known for.

Scott goes on to talk about the Escolle Vineyard and how 100% of their fruit is planted to mostly Pinot Noir, as well as Chardonnay.

Scott also talks about the moment that put Caraccioli Cellars on the map in 2014 when their 2007 Brut Cuvee won #1 amongst 650 entries and over 16 countries represented at a blind tasting event judged by Champagne Guru and Decanter extraordinaire Tom Stevenson!

These are just a few of the things you'll get to hear in this podcast but I think the one thing you'll appreciate more than anything is Scott's willingness to focus on the right now and what he has to do each and every day to become better than he was the day before.

Scott could easily sit back and brag and boast about all his accomplishments but he's just not that kind of guy which is what i beleivemakes him a cut above the rest.

So sit back, relax, and get ready, because you are going to love this epsiode.

In Episode 60 of the Mr. Wine Guy Podcast I had the opportunity to sit down with Paul Colantuoni, Winemaker for Rocca Family Vineyards out of Napa Valley, CA.

In this episode Paul shares his love and passion for Old World wines and how fortunate he was to start his career in some of the most incredible wine regions in the world such as Tuscany and Chateauneuf-du-Pape.

Paul talks about what it was like to work for Bruce and Barbera Neyers at Neyers Vineyards in Pritchard Hill and the privilege it was to work alongside legendary winemaker Ehren Jordan.

Of course Paul shares the story of Rocca Vineyards and what it's like to work for Dr. Eric Grigsby and Mary Rocca who founded Rocca back in 1995.

Paul goes on to share what it was like to take over as Head Winemaker in 2008 from Celia Welch and how Celia put Rocca on the map back in 2002 with her Grigsby Cabernet which scored first place in both US and French blind tastings.

These are just a few of the things you're going to get to hear in this podcast but I think the one thing you'll appreciate more than anything is Paul's humble personality and his appreciation for everyone who has been an intrical part in getting him to where he is today.

So sit back, relax, and get ready, because you are going to love this epsiode.

In Episode 58 of the Mr. Wine Guy Podcast I had the privilege of sitting down with Paul McSharry, Co-founder and Vintner of Maze Wine's out of Napa Valley, CA.

In this episode Paul shares the story of Maze Wines and how they started back in 2009 when Paul and his father Gerry met with legendary winemaker Mark Herold to pursue their passion and create a wine brand that could stand alongside anyone else in the industry.

Maze Wines has done just that and Paul goes on to talk about the inspiration his father developed for wine over the years while working in media and how that inspiration sequentially rubbed off on him as well.

Paul also shares what it means to have Mike Hirby onboard making his wines since the 2016 Vintage and how all of Maze Wines are 100% varietal aged in 100% French Oak.

With all things mentioned the one thing you're going to love about this podcast more than anything is Paul's willingness to go above and beyond for each and every person that invests in his brand.

Paul delivers on so many levels in this podcast and I can't wait for you to get to hear the whole story of how Maze started and what the future hold for this one of a kind brand.

So sit back, relax, and get ready, because yo are going to love this episode.
