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

David Kohl presents the bustling wine expo "Salon des Vins" in The Loire Valley, where producers from all over France are showcasing their new vintages. Today we highlight an (old vines) "Vielles Vignes" selection from Saumur Champigny. #winepodcast #winetravel #winetravels #redwine #france

David Kohl travels to Normandy in France, visiting the Calvados region. Maison Christian Drouin produces a light aperitif known as “Pommeau de Normandie” which is a blend of apple juice and its award winning Calvados. At only 17% alcohol this is a refreshing way to begin a meal or an enjoyable quaff during cocktail hour. The gracious staff onsite at Maison Christian Drouin presents the distillery’s vast array of Calvados based offerings. #winepodcast #alcoholicbeverage #roadtripfrance #calvados #christiandrouin

David Kohl has a passion for wine education and urges consumers to expand their palate by tasting varietals that may be unique, such as the red wine grape “Nerello Mascalese” which is native to Sicily. This offering is lighter in style, with notes of faded roses while reflecting the smoky soils of Sicily’s volcanic ash. Try pairing a Nerello Mascalese with your favorite veal or lamb dish. #winepodcast #italianwine #sicily #redwine #italy

Today we feature 2 unique white wine grapes from Southern Italy : “Fiano” from Campania & “Grecanico” from Sicily. These varietals are a great choice for Pinot Grigio drinkers looking to expand their palate. Fiano & Grecanico produce light -+ refreshing white wines with citrus notes that are perfect food-wines. Fiano reflects the herbal terroir of Campania while Grecanico is representative of Sicily’s volcanic ash. #winepodcast #Whitewine #italianwine #fiano #grecanico #sicily

We are thrilled to be importer for Domaine Perraud and today highlight their 100% Chardonnay offering from the Vire-Clesse region of Burgundy., recently scoring 97 Points from Decanter Magazine. This selection is a great value for those White Burgundy lovers looking to upgrade from a Macon without paying Pouilly Fuisse prices. Since this is a young 2022 vintage, we have decanted it to optimize the aromatics and allow the wine to blossom. Packed with orchard fruits & hazelnut notes, this is a tremendous value typically retailing in the $30 range. #whiteburgundy #chardonnay #winepodcast #burgundywine #decantermagazine

Domaine Laboureau produces 100% Chardonnay offerings from Burgundy’s Cote D’Or region that deliver strong value for consumers. With notes of hazelnut reminiscent of top level Meursault, these selections reflect the limestone character of classic Burgundy with a typical price tag under $25-$30. #wine #chardonnay #burgundywine #frenchwine

The Languedoc’s St. Chinian region is rich in wine growing history, dating back to Roman Gaul and particularly flourishing during Medieval Years under direction from Benedictine Monks. While acclaimed for its red wine production, we highlight today the lesser known white wines. This limestone-rich blend features Viognier, Grenache Blanc & Rousanne, with a garrique nose reflecting St. Chinian’s herbaceous terroir. #wine #uniquewine #languedoc #wineblends

With Sancerre’s Sauvignon Blanc prices climbing due to demand, value oriented consumers should seek out Loire Valley offerings from Touraine, such as Domaine Madeleine’s crisp & energetic offerings. While several global wine regions offer Sauvignon Blanc, it is Touraine that most closely reflects the mineral toned style of Sancerre. Typically retailing under $20, Touraine delivers true value. #wine #sauvignonblanc #loirevalley #touraine #frenchwine

Vigneron Dumnacus is an artisan producer of 100% Chenin Blanc mineral-rich offerings of dry white wine. With a vineyard located on the right bank of The Loire River in the appellation of Savennieres, these selections reflect notes of honey & orchard fruits and are the perfect pairing for all types of seafood dishes. #wine #cheninblanc #whitewine #loirevalley #savennieres
