The Arizona Wine Monk Podcast

In this podcast, i sit with my friend Andi Boyce while we drink a bottle of Dektown Cellars Caïssa. Named after a goddess of chess, this wine is a fun blend of Barbera, merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.

In this podcast, Gary Kurtz from Greater than Wines, a mouthy robot named BB-8, and I drink the 2012 "5" Sangiovese from Sand-Reckoner vineyard. This one is pretty entertaining since this was recorded the week when my voice was shot... and every podcast I do with Gary is lots of fun anyway.

A port-taste off between the Six Grapes, a classic Portuguese port, and the Bastardo port from Cellar 433, which was created by John McLaughlin to consciously emulate these styles of port. Who will win?

(Also at one point Gary corrects me.)

In this episode, i hang out once again with author Christine Pope and her husband Erik as we drink Tempranillo and goof off the night prior to Halloween.

In honor of tonight's release party with the Changeling, and the other wines from oDDity Wine CollectiVe, here's Gary and I in the kitchen while he cooks as we take audio notes on this wine for my Noise article with Lisa chiming in from time to time.

"will this be a podcast?" "No. Unless I desperately need to post one." :-D

In this Podcast, Gary, Lisa, Kristy, Dave, and myself have a research night drinking orange and amber wines from all over the world, in preparation for the release in the next few months of the Orange Judith from Caduceus.

Amber wines are so strange and fun. They're decidedly cerebral.

In this podcast, I hang out with the fantastic four (technically sort of three, but four, whatever) behind up and coming new label, oDDity Wine Collective. We recorded this podcast at The Vineyards Bed and Breakfast at Page Springs. It was the first time since bottling that these guys tasted these wines, and so it was fun to see their perspective! Take a listen

We get into a little personal history with me this time around, as I drink some Prickly Pear fruit wine from Trident Winery and reminice about my recently-deceased grandfather. May he rest in piece.

Sangiovese is the friendliest of grapes! I sit with my friend and podcast sound editor Jeremiah Craig, and drink the 2011 Sangiovese from Golden Rule Vineyards and reflect upon this land we call our own.

In this podcast, Ray Stephens walks me through the process of making one of his specialties: Ocotillo wine. Yes, really.
