    Taking the Friction Out of Wine | Los Cuernos Canned Wine Interview

    Did the wine industry push away a generation of drinkers by making wine too expensive, intimidating, and inconvenient? This week, we sit down with Los Cuernos founders Zeke Blattler and Cory Assink to discuss why they believe wine has a consumer trial problem and how they plan to fix it. Their solution is premium California wine served in single portion cans and kegs, designed for places where quality wine is often missing. We taste three wines from the Los Cuernos lineup: Sauvignon Blanc, Sparkling Rosé, and their flagship Petite Sirah based Red Blend. Along the way, we discuss stale restaurant pours, the value of nonvintage wine, the science behind canning, and why breweries, burger bars, golf courses, hotels, and outdoor venues could become the next frontier for wine. Can canned wine break through the traditions holding the industry back, or will consumers struggle to look beyond the package?

    Viognier: Back From the Brink! | Yalumba Samuel’s Collection Viognier 2022 Review

    Viognier came dangerously close to disappearing. By 1965, only about eight hectares, or roughly 20 acres, remained worldwide. Today, the grape is experiencing a comeback, and Yalumba played a major role in establishing it in Australia. This week, we taste the 2022 Yalumba Samuel’s Collection Viognier from Eden Valley. At around $24, it delivers lime, stone fruit, melon, vanilla, minerality, and a rich texture that keeps evolving in the glass. We explore why growers nearly abandoned Viognier, how a handful of producers kept it alive, and whether this bottle proves that the difficult grape was worth saving. Then we finish with our ratings and another round of Grape Guesses. Wine featured: Yalumba Samuel’s Collection Viognier Vintage: 2022 Region: Eden Valley, Australia Grape: 100% Viognier ABV: 13.5% Price: Approximately $24 This bottle was provided by Winebow Fine Wine + Spirits.

    Is Dry Tokaji Hungary’s Best-Kept Wine Secret? | Préselő 2020 Tokaji Furmint

    Tokaji may be famous for dessert wine, but this bottle shows a completely different side of Hungary’s historic wine region. This week, we taste the 2020 Préselő Tokaji Furmint, a bone-dry white packed with sharp acidity, green apple, citrus, minerality, and a petrol note that transforms as the wine opens. We explore why dry Furmint has struggled to escape Tokaji’s sweet reputation and whether it could follow Riesling’s path from misunderstood grape to white-wine favorite. At around $30, can this unfamiliar Hungarian wine earn a place at your next dinner?

    Has Albariño Found a Second Home in Uruguay? | Bodega Garzón Reserva Albariño Review

    Albariño usually means Spain or Portugal. This week, we travel much farther south to see whether the grape has found a legitimate second home in Uruguay. We taste the 2025 Bodega Garzón Reserva Albariño, a coastal white wine packed with grapefruit, green apple, floral aromas, bright acidity, and a salty finish. Does Uruguay bring something new to the grape, or has Bodega Garzón recreated the Spanish Albariño experience for around $20? We also explore why Uruguay’s Atlantic coast suits Albariño, reveal how heavily the country is investing in the grape, and play a Uruguay-themed round of Grape Guesses.

    Oaked vs. Unoaked Chardonnay: Two Sides of White Burgundy | Louis Jadot Chardonnay Review

    This week, we explore two sides of white Burgundy through two very different expressions of Chardonnay from Louis Jadot. First, we taste the bright and unoaked 2024 Mâcon-Villages. Then we move to the warmer and fuller 2024 Pouilly-Fuissé, aged for six months in French oak. Tasting them side by side gives us a clear look at how oak, place, and appellation shape what ends up in the glass. We also explore why the Mâconnais offers some of Burgundy’s best value, debate which style we prefer, and close with a Chardonnay edition of Grape Guesses. Two wines. One grape. Two completely different sides of white Burgundy.

    Wine Interview: Brian Mondavi Borger of Continuum Estate | Novicium 2023 Review

    The Mondavi name remains one of the most recognizable names in American wine. But the Mondavi family hasn’t been involved with Robert Mondavi Winery since 2004. This week, we sit down with Robert Mondavi’s grandson, Brian Mondavi Borger, to hear what happened and how his family rebuilt after losing the winery that helped put Napa Valley on the world stage. Brian shares what it was like growing up inside an iconic wine family, the lessons his grandfather passed down, and why wine should bring people together instead of making them feel intimidated. We also explore the creation of Continuum Estate, the rugged mountainside vineyard on Pritchard Hill, and Tim Mondavi’s 50 years of winemaking. Then we taste Novicium, a limited-production, estate-grown Cabernet blend priced around $200. Can an expensive Napa wine deliver enough quality to justify the price?

    The Best $20 Pinot Noir We've Ever Had? | Louis Jadot Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2022 Review

    Last week, Louis Jadot's Beaujolais Village surprised all of us with incredible value. This week, we're raising the stakes with one of the world's most recognizable wines: Burgundy Pinot Noir. Can a $20 bottle from one of Burgundy's most respected producers actually deliver the classic Pinot Noir experience, or is great Burgundy only reserved for collectors spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars? Along the way, we explore why Burgundy is one of the world's most celebrated wine regions, what makes Pinot Noir such a difficult grape to grow, and why producer matters just as much as region when you're shopping for wine. Plus, we wrap things up with another round of Grape Guesses featuring surprising Burgundy trivia that puts the region's history and reputation into perspective. If you've been looking for an affordable Pinot Noir or have always wondered what all the hype around Burgundy is about, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

    King of the Grocery Store Wines? | Louis Jadot Beaujolais Villages Review

    For years, we've heard that French wine offers some of the best value in the world. This week, we finally put that idea to the test with one of Burgundy's most recognizable names: Louis Jadot. We're kicking off our three-week Louis Jadot series with their Beaujolais Villages, a $14 Gamay that's available almost everywhere. Along the way, we break down why Old World wine labels don't have to be intimidating, how learning a few famous wine regions can make buying wine much easier, and why great French wine doesn't have to come with a high price tag.
