Restaurants

How does a bottle of wine get from the producer onto the wine list at a restaurant? And what should you be aware of when you’re ordering wine at a restaurant? We talk about how that bottle of wine arrives at your table (from vine to glass!) and how you can make informed decisions when choosing from the wine list.

Reflections on 2020

We recorded this episode as last year was winding to a close and wanted to share some of our thoughts and reflections on how 2020 affected the world of wine. From wildfires in Australia and the US, to global warming and it’s more general effect on temperature, to COVID-19, there was no shortage of challenges in 2020. Please join us for our discussion on how these issues affect winemakers and the industry, and what they are doing about it.

Tasting Vocab

Happy New Year! What a year 2020 was and it seems like 2021 is also turning out to be quite eventful already….nevertheless, we are excited to turn a new leaf and are looking forward to a better year head. This week, we talk about a topic that friends and family have often raised: what exactly do all those words mean when people talk about wine? From adjectives like austere to round, it can be hard to decipher the language of wine. We discuss some fundamentals of tasting, the language that is used to describe tasting, and what exactly this all means. Next week, we are going to start releasing podcasts weekly, starting with some of our reflections on 2020 and how last year affected the world of wine - so stay tuned!

10 Questions - How to Get Started, Part 2

Part 2 of “10 Questions - How to Get Started” dives into some common questions that we’ve all thought, but maybe never asked... Is there really a difference between bottled wine and canned wine? Screw tops vs. corks? How do you choose something to go with dinner? We will also tackle a very interesting question submitted from one of our friends around choosing 5 bottles, as recommendations - but with a twist. Tune in to hear more….

10 Questions: How to Get Started, Part 1

For our first episode, we are kicking off a series called “10 Questions” - and this time we are talking about how to get started. Part 1 is about how to learn about wine and where are some good places to buy wine. We talk about the points system, why local shops are such a great resource, and some of our favorite books and reading materials. Notes: Authentique, the small wine bar mentioned in London https://authentique-epicerie.com/ 67 Pall Mall, the wine club in London that is still doing virtual tastings https://www.67pallmall.com/ The Oxford Companion to Wine, an essential reference book by Jancis Robinson Wine critics mentioned: Jasper Morris, Antonio Galloni, Jancis Robinson Phoebe’s friend that we mentioned called Vanessa also just published a great book called Big Macs & Burgundy with a fresh take on pairings (highly recommended by both of us!!) Le Vieux Comptoir, a favorite neighborhood wine shop and bistro in London http://www.levieuxcomptoir.co.uk/ Sommpicks, the newsletter (and online wine shop!) https://www.sommpicks.com/ Enomatic machines are basically mechanical dispensers that control oxidization so you can serve wines by the glass while keeping the bottle "fresh" over days and even weeks. There's some debate about the mechanics and quality, but overall it's a great way to sample lots of things and learn. Here's an example of an enomatic machine at a favorite shop in London: https://hedonism.co.uk/tastings
