On the show this week, Michel Couttolenc, Fine Wines Director for Viñedo Chadwick and Seña, talks about two legendary Chilean labels and what makes them unique. Michael Dowell, Farmer-Vintner-Owner of Liber Estates, updates us on the many reasons to stop into their winery whenever you travel Highway 97 between Osoyoos and Oliver. Joining us from the famed Spanish Penedes region, just 45 minutes outside of Barcelona, is Joan Cusiné, a third-generation family member who farms biodynamically using modern winemaking techniques while respecting the work of the ancient Roman ways that still dot the landscape. Finally, we catch up with Chris Hoffmeister, CEO of Select Wines to talk about the current state of affairs in the wine industry and the notes of optimism coming out of many wine regions.
