Arizona Stronghold Vineyards Vertical Malvasia tasting podcast
In this episode, which has been teased about for a while, I finally brought my stash of older Malvasia Bianca bottles from Arizona Stronghold to the winery itself, where Matthew Raica and Kim Musket joined me for a vertical tasting of every Malvasia Bianca vintage made by Arizona Stronghold from 2010 to 2018. How well does Arizona Malvasia age? When does Malvasia peak? What makes for a vintage of Malvasia bianca that lasts? Take a listen and find out.

Greater Than Wines with Gary Kurtz
Gary has been a fixture in the Wine Monk Podcast for over half of the episodes I recorded, (as well as the sister podcast, The Make America Grape Again Podcast) so I figured it was about time that I actually make him sit in the hot seat for once, and talk about his own label, Greater Than Wines. In this episode, I interrogate Gary while we drink the Red Experiment Number 1, and we talk the origins of the label, the origins of the wine, and future plans for the label.

The Wine Monk: Pinot Noir Blind Tasting
Pinot Noir is a grape that is steeped in mystery and elegance. The unbilled co-star and arguable protagonist of the film 'Sideways,' Pinot Noir has long had a cloak of mystery surrounding it. Pinot has always been a cult favorite. A while back, I did a tasting of Villa Maria wines with Snooth Media, and I wondered just exactly how New Zealand Pinot stacked up to the rest of the world. Could it stand on par with Burgundy, or Oregon? I decided there was really only one subjective way to find out: inflict a blind tasting upon myself and...

Salvatore Vineyards 2014 Sangiovese vs. Brunello di Montalcino
In this episode of the Arizona Wine Monk podcast, Elizabeth Krecker and I sit outside on a starry night and drink the 2014 Salvatore Vineyards Sangiovese alongside the 2012 Licini Brunello di Montalcino. Both of these bottles were of equal value and from small, pocket-sized vineyards. Hope you enjoy! Interestingly, Licini is one of the few pre-phylloxera vineyards remaining in Italy. As Elizabeth excitedly messaged me later, after we recorded: Cody, I totally stumbled onto this jaw-dropping information about Lisini today while studying for a test. Believe me, I'd hunted for information about Lisini before our podcast, but never saw this. Don't kno...

Podcast: Sand-Reckoner Sangiovese Pet-Nat with Isobel Luna
In this podcast, I drink the Sangiovese Pet-nat from Sand-Reckoner with Isobel Luna, harvest hand and tasting room wine slinger for Sand-Reckoner! This delicious sparkling rosé is pretty fantastic, and you can listen to us gush about this wine, and geek out over the oldest method of making sparkling wines in this recording. I have no idea if there are any bottles of this wine left in the tasting room, but I highly recommend grabbing a bottle of the Sangiovese Pet-Nat as soon as you possibly can.

Petit Sirah XM from the Southwest Wine Center: Part 2
Ever wonder about the rules of cigar and wine pairing? (or if there are even any rules?) I've been getting into cigars lately, so I have. In Part two of this two-part series, we are exploring cigars and cigar pairings with wine using the Petit Sirah XM from the Southwest Wine Center. This episode focuses on pairing the wine with a few cigars, as well as which pairs more with a late harvest sweet wine from the Loire Valley.

Arneis: Italy vs. Arizona

The grape is originally from the Piedmont of Italy, where the name translates to "little rascal" in a local dialect. We sit, comparing a Piedmont Arneis to one from the high deserts of Willcox, to talk about some of the differences between Old and New World styles of wines and winemaking, and to see just how Arizona compares to the Motherland of this fun, unique, geeky white grape.

All in all, it was a great tasting panel, and I hope we can do another worldwide wine tasting soon. Such tastings are very useful for putting Arizona wine within a proper context.

The Arizona Wine Review Podcast With Chateau Tumbleweed
Recorded a while back. Chateau Tumbleweed and I sat together over copious amounts of wine and recorded this podcast. Their tasting room is now open in Clarkdale, near Olson's Grain, and you really must visit, as they are really awesome people! I love their wines. This is a longer podcast, but is loads of fun.

A few friends and I sat on the night of Earth Day and drank the 2008 Naugal de Judith and the Saeculum Cellars 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon down in the Jerome Cemetry. It's a Very Special Podcast, where we remember those who came before us, the Earth, and, at the time, those whom we have forgotten.

Javelina Leap podcast with Winemaker Cynthia Snapp
I sit with winemaker Cynthia Snapp from Javelina Leap today and we talk viticulture in the Verde Valley, Skull Valley, and winemaking. Especially interesting is the note about Zin in Arizona being better from the Verde Valley than from Willcox. I'd also like to thank my new sound editor for podcasts, Jeremiah Craig!

Zarpara Viognier podcast with Shannon and Robert
Two new friends and I podcast about the 2013 Viognier from Zarpara; Hilarity, Lord of the Rings discussion, and comments about Arizona wine, Label Design, and How I met Your Mother ensue. There was a lot of off-topic conversation that got cut, so I apologise if it's a little choppy.
