In the first episode of 2026 we interview one of the most experienced sparkling wine experts around. Tony Jacobson is the Principal Consultant at EnoCraft and Founder of Loose Cannon Wines in Traverse City, Michigan.

We cover some of the challenges and opportunities available in the sparkling category, including not being afraid of acidity. We also delve into how different production techniques offer very different approaches to wine with carbonation. And we wrap with the backstory on Loose Cannon, a boutique winery committed to local fruit.

The "this won't pour" segment showcased some cool wireless mic gear as well as an affordable 3D printer setup!
