Tune In to Wine with David Kohl : Bordeaux, Burgundy &; Beyond

It was indeed an honor for David Kohl to spend an afternoon visiting the majestic Opus One vineyard to taste a range of selections dating back to 2012 and meet with estate winemaker Michael Silacci who graciously presented a preview of the soon to be released 2023 vintage. #opusone #napavalley #winepassion

It is rare to find Albariño wine grapes grown in California, but Marimar Torres is the perfect vintner to do so, considering her acclaimed family heritage in Spain dating back more than 300 years. David Kohl tastes the unique offering at Willi’s Wine Bar in Santa Rosa, a tribute to the renowned namesake wine bar in Paris. #albarino #winebar #winetasting

Savvy wine collectors are tuned in to the exclusive offerings of Pinot Noir by Williams Selyem, including their Drake Estate selection highlighted today during David Kohl’s visit to the vineyard. #williamsselyem #pinotnoir #williamsselyempinotnoir #sonomavineyard

When visiting California Wine Country, the history is rich with estates that harvest the region’s signature Zinfandel grape. Tonight with our baked lamb flatbread, we taste two classic Zins : Turley Old Vines vs Ridge Vineyards, with Ridge emerging as the bolder selection and Turley providing an elegant experience. #winetasting #zinfandel #californiazin

While traveling in Sonoma County's artisan food + wine "Barlow District" , David Kohl stops in to highlight a true gem : Pax Mahle’s PAX Winery & Tasting Room where the Gamay Noir is a star performer. Also known for his eclectic Syrah production, Pax Mahle is absolutely a winemaker to watch, with organic + sustainable selections as signature offerings. #sonomacounty #gamaynoir #sebastopolca #barlowdistrict

While Russian River Valley is acclaimed for its Pinot Noir offerings, the Chardonnay selections are also quite special. Gary Farrell Winery produces a sumptuous single vineyard Chardonnay from Rochioli -Allen that is a highlight to cherish during a visit to the panoramic tasting room. #garyfarrellvineyards #russianriverchardonnay

You may recall scenic Bodega Bay California as the setting for Alfred Hitchcock’s thriller “The Birds”. The town is also home to a charming wine bar Gourmet Au Bay that is pouring eclectic local selections by the glass such as this Trousseau Gris offering “Rumplestiltskin” from Langhart Hill Vineyards in Russian River Valley. #bodegabay #winebar #winepodcast

Talk about a blast from the past : Gundlach Bundschu is a historic Sonoma County winery originally founded in 1858. Today the estate is still making top flight Gewurztraminer white wines with undertones of ginger that provide a perfect pairing with our spicy roasted corn dish at Jacksons in Santa Rosa. #winetasting #gundlachbundschu #winehistory

One California classic certainly deserves another : David Kohl is thrilled to finally taste the infamous In-N-Out Burger, and what is a better pairing than Dumol Pinot Noir, one of the rock stars of Russian River Valley. Talk about an iconic combo. #innoutburger #winelover #californiafoodie

Arneis white wine grape is closely associated with Piedmont, Italy where its near-extinction was salvaged by some talented modern day winemakers such as Bruno Giacosa. Today the grape is harvested in California’s Mendocino County at Birdhorse Vineyards, and featured on wine lists at gastronomic wine bars such as The Redwood in the artisan enclave of Sebastopol. #arneis #mendocinowine #winebar
