What happens when you have ChrisO and JonM separated by 2,000 miles and you add a organically grown cabernet sauvignon from Napa? Why a “Date Night” of course. Listen in and learn…
This week my palate has taken a trip south of the border, no not to Taco Bell, but to South America. What I found was great quality and value galore! Finding great value wines from South American is by no means anything new. Chile and Argentina have been producing some good value wines since the early 1990’s. Both countries have chosen an obscure Bordeaux variety to call their own.
I chose an example of each to try, come listen to our podcast to find out what I thought of these wines.
I had the fortunate pleasure of being invited to meet Chris Phelps, head winemaker for Swason Vinyards in Napa. So this past Monday I made my way up valley to Rutherford to meet Chris at the winery. What follows is a podcast of me recounting my encounter to JonM. This is like the hearsay of interviewing techniques, Chris Phelps tells ChrisO who then tells JonM. If you like it make sure and tell someone else.
I, “the everyman’s wine snob”, had the very unique opportunity this last Saturday to visit Smith-Madrone Winery, located atop Spring Mountain in Napa Valley, California. It was an amazing experience and an absolute pleasure meeting both Stu and Charles Smith (owners), who share the responsibility for producing some of the most unique and exciting Rieslings and Cabernet Sauvignons that I have tasted, to date, from Napa Valley.
JonM the “wine snob’s everyman” and I hope you enjoy the podcast we put together about my experience at Smith-Madrone Winery.
ChrisO goes it alone in this podcast and introduces one of his favorite small wineries in north Sonoma County, Leo Steen Wines. These fantastically crafted wines (Chenin Blanc and Syrah) are the work of Danish winemaker Leo Hansen, who also happens to be the winemaker for Stuhlmuller Vineyards.
ChrisO, “Everyman’s Wine Snob” and JonM, the self professed “Beer drinking idiot from St. Louis” discuss value wines from South Africa as well as ChrisO’s recent appearance on WineBizRadio.
ChrisO stopped by Kaz Winery in the heart of Kenwood to be interviewed about his day job at Benziger Family Winery and Imagery Estate Winery on Wine Biz Radio, soon however the subject changed to vintuba and the bloger love-in was off to the races.
In episode #11 JonM “Wine Snob’s Everyman” joins ChrisO “Everyman’s Wine Snob” on his daily commute through beautiful Los Carneros to get another drive time wine recommendation.
This week it’s all about the 2006 Fogdog Chardonnay, from Freestone Winery, located on the Sonoma Coast, and the 2005 Masi Campofiorin, from Masi Agricola, located in Veneto region [...]
