In The Drink: A Wine Podcast with Joe Campanale In The Drink

In the final episode of this bonus mini-season, Joe talks to Michael Cruse of Cruse Wine Co and Ultramarine. Michael discusses how his science background informs his winemaking, how he makes sparkling wines that reflect their Californian terroir, and why he's resisted raising the price of his super sought after Ultramarine wines.

In the second episode of this bonus mini-season, Joe Talks to Andrea Piccin of Grifalco. Andrea talks about how his parents chose the Basilicata region for winemaking, their strong belief in Aglianico del Vulture wines and what he and his brother have been doing since taking over for their father.

In The Drink is back fors a surprise mini season! Before the pandemic changed everything, Joe had recorded three great episodes--and now seems like as good a time as any to finally share these awesome conversations!




In this week's episode, Joe talks to Michael Schmelzer of Monte Bernardi. Michael discusses coming into Chianti as an outsider, the specifics of growing in the region and why he thinks we need to broaden our minds when it comes to defining a Chianti wine.
