We sit down for a 10x10 interview episode with Georgian wine importer Noel Brockett of Georgian Wine House. Although GWH is based in Washington D.C., Noel lives in the Guria region of western Georgia, and we sat down during a multi-state tour he was making in the US during June of 2024.

Spend 10 minutes getting to know Nick Apone, founder and owner of Old Woodward Cellar, the magnificent wine retail shop in Birmingham, Michigan.

We close out Season 2 with a great set of panelists: Cody Formisano (York), Jake Molle (Eagle Eye), and Karl Brink (Vine & Brew) all brought great insights and loads of humor!

Panelists Karl Brink (of Vine & Brew) and Kristen Pennington (of Carpe Vinum) put on a fantastically hilarious show as they tackle the challenges laid out by Matt and Chaad.

After her appearance on the panel of S2 E3, Dixboro Project sommelier/Wine Director Taylor Johnson took to the mic again to lead a special discussion with panelists Marshall Wehr, Dave Landrum, and Cody Formisano about how the Court of Master Sommeliers might adapt to the rise of new grape varieties in classic wine regions, and to the new flavor profiles which they might bring. It’s an outtake from the recording of S2 E4.

NEW FEATURE! We have all the good stuff of our usual format, but in his episode, we introduce our first call-in guest, Anthony Taylor, who takes time away from sunny, warm, southern France to talk to us from Gabrielle Meffre winery in Gigondas. Our studio panelists are Marshall Wehr (Plum Market), Dave Landrum (2 James’ Distilling) and Cody Formisano (York) makes an encore appearance.

In this episode: Chaad hosts solo, and the discussion gets a little deep with a power-hitting duo of women, Nuria Garrote i Esteve of VinoVi imports, and Taylor Schmidt-Johnson of the Dixboro Project. Poor Ben Tselis-Jackson…he didn’t stand a chance, despite the advantage of being a returning panelist!

In this episode of 10x10, we talk with Field Recordings winery owner and winemaker Andrew Jones. On tour here in Michigan from California, Chaad pulled him away from a public tasting at York to spend 10 minutes on the mic with RWS listeners.

We’re back with another lively, engaging, and very funny show featuring panelists Kristie Brablec (Zingerman’s Food Tours), Adam Mahler (Ampelography) and Jay Friend (Withington’s). As usual, the discussion is wide ranging and insightful, so press play and join the fun!

Join Sal Sciarrino of Decanter & Coupe Imports, Diego Aliste who is Wine Director at Frame, and T. Edwards Wine & Spirits national guy, Jimmy Bates for more wide-ranging, fun and insightful discussions about wine.
