Ride Between the Wines

What a pleasure to meet Alberto Chiarlo from iconic Piemonte producer, Michele Chiarlo!  We discuss everything from the most wonderful nebbiolo vineyard sites in the world, to the importance and proper place of Moscato d'Asti in our lives.   Such an exciting guest!

And keeping with the Italian theme, in my Take Five local restaurant segment I interview George Kessler, owner and chef of Il Giorgione.  Action packed episode (if you live in Columbia, SC or are planning a visit, this place is a must!)

It was the best of wines, it was the worst of...nevermind, these were all good.  In this episode I met with Josh Phelps, winemaker of The Grounded Wine Company, and discuss his story, his wines, and what it is like to make wines from three very different regions.  Later, in my Take Five segment, I met with Josh Willougby, owner of Market on Main, one of Columbia's newest local restaurants.  Check it out!

In this episode, I meet with Maurizio Zanella, President and Founder of Ca' del Bosco in Franciacorta!  

This has to be one of my favorite episodes so far!  Later in the episode, I chat with Steve Cook, owner of Saluda's Restaurant in Columbia, SC, in the return of my favorite segment, Take Five!

In my second "virtual" episode, I speak with Claudio Viberti, winemaker for Viberti in Barolo!  Join us as we discuss Piemonte, Italy, and, of course, Barolo!

And stick around afterwards, for the return of my Take Five segment, when I sit down with a local restaurant owner (Mike Duganier​ from Publico Kitchen + Tap​ ) and launch five, hard hitting questions his way!

Thanks to Covid, this is my first ever virtual episode, my guest was Anne Trimbach, from Maison Trimbach winery in Ribeauvillé, Alsace, France.  Fantastic wines and a fantastic guest!  Don't miss!

In my final episode filmed prior to Covi-19, I was lucky enough to have Nicola Lenci from Fattoria di Magliano in the car with me.   Nicola tells us all about his family's winery, Maremma in Tuscany, and, of course, his delicious wine.

In this episode I chat with Bob Pepi, winemaker for Eponymous, Two Angels, Terrapura, and Negociant! Wine legend, so great to meet him.

In this awesome episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Chema Ryan Murua, winemaker from Bodegas Muriel in Rioja (as well as Condes de los Andes, and Pazo Cilliero).  Chema is a very seasoned, talented, and knowledgeable guest, and this was such a pleasure.  Please join!

In this episode I'm joined by Dennis Koelwijn.  Listen in to hear about Salentein Wines in Uco Valley, as well as Portillo and Killka!  Great episode with a fun guy!

In this episode I meet the very knowledgeable, fun, and entertaining Antoine Collet from Kobrand.  Our trip is centered around showing barrel samples of Maison Louis Jadot wines to be released in the fall.  Born in Champagne, and spending his life around wine, Antoine proved to be quite the guest!  Check it out!
