    Kladstrups: Wine and War 25th Anniversary

    Don and Petie Kladstrup are two of the most accomplishedjournalists to ever turn their lens toward wine. Don is a three-time Emmy winner who covered the fall of theBerlin Wall, wars in the Middle East, and the battle against apartheid for CBS and ABC. Petie won the Overseas Press Club Award and served as protocol officer for the U.S. Ambassador to UNESCO. They moved to Paris in the late 1970s almostby accident — and have been living and writing in France ever since. In 2001, they wrote Wine and War: The French, the Nazis, andthe Battle for France's Greatest Treasure. Twenty-five years later, it's still in print in roughly twenty languages, and it's arguably the most important wine book ever written — partly because it's not really a wine book at all. It's a war story told through wine. In this 25th-anniversary conversation, Don and Petie sitdown with Jon to talk about the accidental Paris move that started it all, how two Americans got French families to open up about a chapter the French themselves wouldn't touch, why the book's second-biggest market is Germany, a 1914 Pol Roger tasting that shouldn't have been possible, a Soweto Christmasparty near the end of apartheid where someone tasted champagne for the first time, and the winemaker who told them: "Our wines evolve slowly and nobly…this gives us a taste of eternity." Guests: Don andPetie Kladstrup — authors of Wine and War, Champagne, and Champagne Charlie.Based in Paris and the Dordogne. Host: Jon Frutkin(@winewithjon) — lawyer turned collector turned wine bar owner, opening PrefaceWine in Delray Beach, FL.

    Georgia Panagopoulou, @wine.gini

    Georgia Panagopoulou was a chemical engineer. Then she walked away from a "safe corporate job" in the middle of Greece's financial crisis, moved to Santorini, and enrolled in a Master's program that took her to 30 wine countries in 18 months. She documented the whole thing on Instagram — andaccidentally became one of the most followed wine voices in Europe. Today she runs Wine Gini, a digital marketing agency that helps wineries across 25+ countries tell their stories online. She's 10 years deep in the digital wine world, and she's blunt about what the industry keeps getting wrong. In this conversation, Georgia and Jon get into why every wine account online used to be "just pictures of bottles," why wineries say they want to be authentic and then reject the content that actually is, the difference between treating wine as the topic versus the glue, her CSV framework (Consistency, Storytelling, Value), what Greece is teaching the traditional wine world — and her free consulting for Jon as he opens Preface Wine: show the backstage, document the chef-vs-sommelier argument, and stop reciting cherry-and-strawberry tasting notes nobody cares about.

    The Year on the Label ... Nostalgia, Technology and Why Every Bottle Is a Time Machine

    My grandfather went from kerosene to AOL. One life. That kind of speed creates a craving for something slower — something that anchors you to a specific time and place. Wine might be the most powerful nostalgia machine ever invented, because every bottle carries something almost nothing else does: a year. In this solo episode, I explore why that year matters, how wine bridges generations at a dinner table, and why a bottle of 2019 will still taste like 2019 long after we've forgotten what that year felt like. In a world moving at the speed of light, wine moves at the speed of seasons. That's not quaint. That's essential.

    Pauline Vicard, ARENI Global

    The wine industry has a generational problem — and almost nothing it believes about it is true. Pauline Vicard runs ARENI Global, the leading international think tank on the future of fine wine. Her team studied how young people in six cities — Paris, London, New York, Hong Kong, Singapore, Shanghai — actually get into fine wine. They started with six hypotheses. Only one held up. In this conversation, Pauline and Jon get into what the research actually says: why parents don't pass wine down (friends do), why women enter at equal rates and then disappear in their 30s, why the "$18 glass" problem is quietly killing wine's consumer base, why Succession and White Lotus have done more damage to fine wine than any health study, and why the industry's bottle-selling business model may be reaching its expiration date. Plus — Pauline's free consulting for Jon as he opens Preface Wine: how to curate a room, why young people don't go out for wine (they go out for each other), and how to "monetize friendship" without making it feel transactional. Guest: Pauline Vicard — Co-Founder & Executive Director, ARENI Global (https://areni.global) Host: Jon Frutkin (@winewithjon) — lawyer turned collector turned wine bar owner, opening Preface Wine in Delray Beach, FL.

    Eric LeVine, CellarTracker

    Eric LeVine found wine "hopelessly intimidating" — until a 1999bike trip through Tuscany changed everything. A few years later, he built CellarTracker during a Microsoft sabbatical. It's now the world's largest wine community: 13+ million tasting notes, 175 million bottles tracked, nearly a million users. We talk about what two decades of community data reveal about how people actually engage with wine, why he avoided gamification, and what the industry gets wrong about welcoming newcomers.

    Poster on the Wall

    What does a $25,000 bottle of Burgundy have to do with the $14 Pinot Noir at Trader Joe's? More than you'd think. Most people assume the fine wine world is a parallel universe for rich people — disconnected from the wine the rest of us actually drink. In this essay, Jon makes the opposite case: the top of the wine world is the reason the rest of it works. Using the Ferrari-and-Toyota analogy — the kid with the Ferrari poster on his wall who grows up to drive a Civic but still cares about cars — Jon argues that aspiration builds categories. Champagne's mythology fuels its mass market.Bordeaux's classified growths made Napa possible. Burgundy's prestige launched Oregon's 700+ wineries. Remove the top of the pyramid, and the bottom doesn't get stronger — it gets flatter. "Fine wine and everyday wine aren't two separate worlds. They're the same world at different altitudes. The mountain is the reason the valley has a view at all." Host: Jon Frutkin (@winewithjon) — lawyer turned collector turned contentcreator, opening Preface Wine in Delray Beach, FL.

    Sam Capaldi, the No Snob Somm

    Sam Capaldi liquidated her savings at 22 to go to sommelier school. Today she's the "No Snob Somm" — 300,000+ followers, a wine club, a wine label, and a community built by pairing wine with Taco Bell instead of white tablecloths. In this episode, Sam and Jon get into why the wine industry keeps losing the next generation, what COVID virtual tastings taught her about what people actually want, the role vulnerability plays in her brand, the story behind FaffWine Co., and the advice she gives anyone who's curious about wine but feels like they don't know enough to start. If you've ever felt like wine wasn't "for you" — this one is. Guest: Sam Capaldi (@samanthasommelier) — Certified Sommelier, Founder ofSamantha Sommelier, Co-Founder of Faff Wine Co.
