Find these wines. [Ep314]

    The Wine Makers – Julien Barrot, Domaine La Barroche

    The Wine Makers – Julien Barrot, Domaine La Barroche

    This week we welcome Julien Barrot from Domaine La Barroche, a property in Châteauneuf-du-Pape that has been making wine since the 14th century. The youngest in the family, he has the strong character of these winemakers who invest themselves in their profession and their appellation. Julien arrived on the estate in 2002, barely 22 years old, fresh from his training in oenology, with a business school diploma in his pocket. With an infinite thirst for learning, he is one of those "committed" generations where curiosity and open-mindedness perfectly complement the respect for the terroir and the know-how passed on by their elders.

    After several vintages and meticulous parcel selection, the estate now owes him its various cuvées with such singular personalities: Julien Barrot, Pure, Fiancée and Liberty.

    The Wine Makers – Dutton Goldfield

    Dutton Goldfield began as a handshake in a vineyard in 1988 when long-time friends Steve Dutton and Dan Goldfield recognized a shared vision between them- to craft wines that express the true nature and personalities of their cool-climate vineyards and which are made to love.  Join the guys as they sit down with Dan this week on the Wine Makers podcast.  Cheers!  [Ep311]

    The Wine Makers – Doug Stewart, Lichen Estate – Breggo Cellars

    The Wine Makers – Doug Stewart, Lichen Estate – Breggo Cellars

    Doug Stewart grew up in Sonoma and had no connection to the wine business. At some point during his time developing several truly sustainable companies wine and grapes started to come into focus. In 2000 they bought a historic sheep farm in Anderson Valley. Eventually a winery named Breggo was launched, vines were planted, grapes were sold and then Breggo was sold. A new winery was launched called Lichen Estate, then Doug and Ana bought Breggo back. Are you keeping up or confused? Well this is just a small part of Doug's story so check out this week's show and make plans to visit him in Anderson Valley. [Ep310]

    The Wine Makers – Enrique Tirado, Don Melchor

    The Wine Makers – Enrique Tirado, Don Melchor

    Enrique Tirado is the CEO and winemaker for Don Melchor, the most iconic wine brand in Chile. His focus is to create the best Cabernet Sauvignon in the world. The wine consistently gets mentioned in the top 100 wines and the 2018 vintage scored a perfect 100 points. The unique climate and soil conditions at the base of the Andes create ideal growing conditions for their Bordeaux varietals. We were lucky enough to catch up with Enrique as he was just flying in, on his way to spread the message in the U.S. about their world class wine. The wine can be found at good wine shops and is available online. [Ep309]

My favorite Pod

This podcast is the perfect blend of characters, education, entertainment and cleanliness of editing. (Mostly 😂)
I’m a winemaker and winegrower outside of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Finding value in podcasts that I can use in the Midwest is challenging as we don’t grow vinifera. Listening to Sam and Phil has given me multiple ah-ha moments that I have implemented in my day to day processes which has proven to raise quality and efficiency.
Thanks guys and look forward to many more episodes!

My favorite wine podcast…

This has quickly become my favorite wine podcast. I got behind on episodes by a few weeks, due to some traveling, and caught up today. I really enjoy each episode. I’m learning a lot and I keep adding to my list of wines to find and try. Thanks for giving me a bit of Sonoma (and Napa) here on the coast of the Carolinas. I enjoy the show! Thanks!
