Wine Podcast: The Honest Pour with John LenartPhilippe Rolet, Bodegas CaroPhilippe Rolet was born into wine in Jura. Following a passion for South American wines he eventually ended up as Estate Manager of Bodegas Caro, a partnership between the legendary Rothschild and Catena houses. Argentina didn't start producing wines until 1850 but in the years since, it has claimed it's space in the international wine market. In fact one of Caro's wines is one of the best in it's category I have ever tasted. Listen to this episode to find out about it.

Wine Podcast: The Honest Pour with John LenartHugh Davies, President, Schramsberg VineyardsAmong aficionados California sparkling wine has always played a bit of a second fiddle to sparklers from other parts of the world. While that is changing over the past few years with the emergence of Grower Champagne-like wines coming from the likes of Under the Wire and the cult wine Ultramarine, among others, the one exception to this notion has always been Schramsberg. Gaining prominence going back to 1972, when Nixon used the Blanc de Blanc to toast the Chinese Premier at the White House, wines from this historic estate have been served by every administration since.

Wine Podcast: The Honest Pour with John LenartDiane Flamand, Winemaker, Bordeaux Collection Wines Domaines Barons de Rothschild [Lafite]Bordeaux can be expensive. At it's lower price points it can present uninspired wines. But Diane Flamand and Domaines Barons de Rothschild [Lafite] have closed the price and quality gap with their Légende line of wines. These bottles take wine drinkers around Bordeaux, from blanc and rouge wines made from grapes grown throughout the iconic wine region, to bottlings from more specific areas like Medoc and Saint-Emilion and Paulliac. These wines present fantastic value and would be a great jumping off point for your own study of Bordeaux. I met with winemaker Diane Flamand to talk about what it's li...

In this episode I revisit the wines from this classic Champagne house with her colleague Marie-Christine Osselin. We sat down to discuss the task of creating consistency and quality for Moët & Chandon's Non-vintage Imperial from over a hundred base wines, and expressing the quality of each vintage Champagne, while still distinguishing the bright fresh fruity house style of Moët & Chandon.

Wine Podcast: The Honest Pour with John LenartFrancesco Ricasoli, President and Owner, RicasoliEarlier this year I had the pleasure of visiting a number of producers in Chianti Classico. To hear those shows check back to episodes 61 - 67. Sadly, while there I missed the chance to visit one of the region's most iconic estates, Ricasoli at Castello Brolio in Gaiole. Fortunately, when I returned home, I had the opportunity to meet with Francesco Ricasoli.Â
During his visit he previewed the release of Raritas, a line of three single vineyard Chianti Classico wines that are the highest most distinguished expressions of wines produced on the Brolio estate. Technically Gran Selezione wines, Francesco calls these "C...

Wine Podcast: The Honest Pour with John LenartBrook Bannister, Bannister WinesCool climate pinot noir is a widely used buzz phrase today. But in the late 80's Marty Bannister was one of the pioneers of the segment. She made these wines for over a decade when health concerns forced her to let the family label go dormant. In the early 2000's her son Brook decided to revive the brand and continue working with these cool climate wines, maintaining his mother's legacy. So many of the stories told through wine are about, place, history, or farming. This episode is about a son's love of his mother and his dedication to making sure h...

While many interviews are about history, culture or estate terroir, Paul Hobbs is a guy who I can geek out with about wine. And that makes me happy. Despite his impressive resume, talking with him about soil types, climate, and grape variety is something that is really exciting and makes you want to taste and enjoy his wines. What I really loved about talking with Hobbs is that his passion extends beyond California to Argentina, Spain...

Wine Podcast: The Honest Pour with John LenartEp. 67 Fabrizio Benedetti, Castello MonterinaldiWe wrap up our visit to Chianti Classico with a visit to Castello Monterinaldi in Radda. Searching for the terroir of each commune of the region has proven to be a challenge as so many microclimates and soil types exist withing each commune. However, matching clones of sangiovese to each microclimate within an estate is an important job at Castello Monterinaldi. This effort leads to some special wine. I met with Fabrizio Benedetti to discuss this and of course to taste some delicious wines.

Wine Podcast: The Honest Pour with John LenartEp. 66 Giovanni Poggiali, FelsinaWhile some wineries take centuries to figure out which clones or massal selections work best in their vineyards, the brilliant minds of Felsina have accomplished the same in just five decades.

Wine Podcast: The Honest Pour with John LenartEp. 65 Roberto Stucchi Prinetti, Badia a ColtibuonoThe wines of Badia a Coltibuono are some of the most precise, balanced, and typically Chianti Classico of those produced in the region. While many wineries pay lip service using terms like " we believe wine begins in the vineyard," Roberto Stucchi Prinetti truly follows the axiom. After receiving his degree at UC Davis, and working under Cathy Corison at Chappellet, he returned to take over as the sixth generation of his family running Badia a Coltibuono. He immediately replanted the vineyards to maximize quality and emphasize terroir. Ever since the wines he makes have been met with critical acclaim.

The hilltop hamlet is magical. The 11th century piazza is composed of a church, a cafe and a the Castello di Volpaia tasting room which was closed when I arrived. That's it.

Topping out at about 400 meters above sea-level the vines here flower early and experience a longer growing season than other areas of Chianti Classico. These wines typically express more earth that fruit and are the perfect companions of the region's game focused cuisine. I met with Paolo De Marchi of Isole e Olena, a top producer from Barberino Tavarnelle to talk about these wines and learn about how his farming choices over the past 45 years have allowed him to express its special terroir.

The tiny hamlet no loner houses the winery, it is still home to the Mazzei family's agroturismo and osteria (a great place to have a traditional, highly regional dinner!). The new winery is a modern, high tech winemaking facility, built into the hillside that still uses time honored traditions of vinification. The Mazzei family has been involved in the wine business for 24...

And of course you can taste it in his wines too.

Wine Podcast: The Honest Pour with John LenartEp. 60 Sara Dionisio, Antonio Lopez Ribeiro WInesPassion only takes winemakers so far. On top of the desire to make great wine a lot of hard work goes into it as well. There are few people in wine who have had to work as hard as Sara Dionisio and her husband Antonio Ribeiro. After mother nature dealt the couple a catastrophic blow in 2017, they have, like a phoenix, literally risen from the ashes and today continue their pursuit of producing delicious wines.

The wines of Muscadet are often over cropped, too linear, and mundane, But the wines made by this episode's guest are different. Jo Landron makes some of the most dynamic, terroir driven, and delicious wines in the western Loire's Muscadet region. Known as much for his flamboyant mustache as his wines, Landron uses both organic and biodynamic farming to express the special terroir of his vineyards. Next ti...

To run the business they hired Claudio Naranjo, a young financial consultant who aided them in the purchase, as the General Manager. Decades later, Naranjo still holds that position but with a much deeper understanding of, and more importantly, a passion for wine.

Wine Podcast: The Honest Pour with John LenartEp. 57 Ryan Shenk, Benessere VineyardsSometimes touring Napa Valley wineries can become a bit repetitive. Cabernet, cabernet and more cabernet. Now, I love Napa cab, but a brief departure from it can offer a palate refreshing break. A great place for this break is Benessere. Founded in 1994 by John and Ellen Benish, they wanted a place to remind them of a beloved trip to Italy they had taken. So, instead of planing more cabernet, they committed to planing Italian varieties like sangiovese, aglianico and even sagrantino. While John sadly passed away in October of 2018, his family is committed to maintaining his vision of producing wonderful w...

Since then he and his brother have been making some fantastic wines from their self built winery. If you want to see winemaking that isn't veiled by the branded, retail friendly experience you get at many places along highway 29, head up Spring Mountain and pay a visit to Smith-Madrone. Stu may likely be your host in the barn-like winery/tasting room. You'll find him a gigantic character never short on opinions. More importantly you'll taste some spectacular and insightfully made wines.

Rombauer III, Rombauer VineyardsBig, round, rich chardonnay may not always be a critical favorite, but it is certainly loved by the mass market. While the wines of Kistler, Sonoma-Cutrer and others popularized this style in California, it wasn't until 1990 when Koerner Rombauer, working with fruit from Sangiacomo vineyard in Carneros, was able to produce this style of chardonnay at a price point friendly to the consumer. Today, K.R., Koerner's son, runs the family winery and remains true to his father's vision of making wine his customers want to drink. I sat down with K.R., to talk about the wines made at his...

Wine Podcast: The Honest Pour with John LenartEp. 54 Erica Crawford, Founder & CEO Loveblock WinesErica Crawford came to the wine business through marriage. Thatâs not to say that nothing about her personal background influences the wines she and her husband Kim make today. In fact, her previous career in the medical and pharmaceutical industries largely shaped Loveblockâs commitment to organic and sustainable farming and winemaking. Her commitment to this is so strong that the farming practiced by Loveblock is entirely closed loop. Close loop farming recycles all nutrients and organic matter back into the soil from which it grew. Through these practices Loveblock produces wines of elegance with more restrained aromatics and more...

Wine Podcast: The Honest Pour with John LenartEp. 53 Jon Emmerich, Winemaker, Silverado VineyardsRon Miller and his wife, Diane Disney Miller, daughter of Walt, opened the winery of Silverado vineyards in 1981. While her maiden name leads some to call Silverado "The Disney Winery" there is nothing Disney-esque about the gorgeous estate in the heart of the Stags Leap District. Since 1981 Only two people have led the winemaking team. Today that post is held by Jon Emmerich. Silverado's vineyards are located throughout Napa Valley, each providing a unique palate for Emmerich to work with. While the name Silverado Vineyards might be familiar it's actually not a very large winery, producing ,only about 75,000 cases per y...

Wine Podcast: The Honest Pour with John LenartEp. 52 Mike Kush, Winemaker, Chasing HarvestWinemakers get only one shot per year to get a vintage right. This makes it tough for them to gain valuable experience, particularly early in their careers. In order to gain more practice, they can travel from the northern hemisphere to the southern in order to cheat mother nature and sneak in a second vintage each year. This practice is known as chasing harvest. It was so deeply embraced by Mike and Jennifer Kush that they named their wine after it. After chasing harvests around the globe, the Kushs have settled into the two regions which they are most passionate a...

From the cool far south of Napa Valley where he grows the fruit for a bright, balanced chardonnay , to Mt Veeder which produces powerful yet elegant cabernet sauvignon, all the way up to Pope Valley in the far northeast where the warm growing season produces fruit bursting with flavor, Dave Guffy at Hess Family Estates makes the most of these choices.

Wine Podcast: The Honest Pour with John LenartEp. 48 Shane Moore, Wine Maker, Gran MoraineThe Yamhill-Carlton AVA, in the far northern reaches of Willamette Valley, was founded in 2004. Often known for producing pinot noir bottlings that are bold and expressive some wine makers look in another direction and create wines of great finesse. Shane Moore of Gran Moraine is one such wine maker. Not only is he making sophisticated pinto noir, but also an exceptionally balanced chardonnay.

It can be tough. There are a lot of bad wines out there in the lower price ranges. So, when I got to taste the wines from Austerity, I knew they were wines I could direct curious listeners to.

Wine Podcast: The Honest Pour with John LenartEP 46 Liu Pambuffetti Azienda Agraria ScacciadiavoliI love a winery with a great story behind it. Azienda Agraria Scacciadiavoli is one such winery. Roughly translated as "Chasing away the devil" Scacciadiavoli is named for a local priest believed to have been an exorcist. But a great story only takes you so far. Scacciadiavoli, in Montefalco, located in Umbria, also makes some delicious wines. The primary red grape variety in Montefalco is Sagrantino. An indigenous, hugely tannic, high acid grape that makes wines with a rough exterior which gives way to delicate, elegant, and complex flavors. Like all Italian wines, when paired with food, Sagrantino really shines. T...

Wine Podcast: The Honest Pour with John LenartEp. 45 David Guimaraens, Technical Director and Head Wine Maker, The Fladgate PartnershipI love port wine. But it can be a complicated subject. Broken down into two distinct groups, tawny and ruby, each style offers different characteristics. Vintage Port is the grandest expression of all ports. Selected for extraordinary qualities and capacity for aging in the bottle, only about three times per decade are ports declared to have the special qualities of a true "vintage." When a port is declared as a vintage you can be certain it will be an exceptional wine. 2016 was just such a vintage. David Guimaraens, Technical Director and Head Wine Maker, The Fladgate Partnership was in Chicago wit...

Wine Podcast: The Honest Pour with John LenartEp. 43 Armando Castagnedi, Owner Tenuta Sant'AntonioOften times makers of wines from classic, old world regions create wine in a style that demands aging in order for it to not only appreciate full potential, but in many cases to be even remotely drinkable. Because of advancements in both farming and wine making, today, creating making a wine that is both age-worthy yet approachable and enjoyable to drink at a young age is a possibility. Staunch traditionalists sometimes decry these modern styles as varying too far from the style of wine that a specific region is known for. But thank goodness for forward thinking producers like the br...

Homey and bucolic, Anderson Valley is the road less traveled, and that's a shame because there are some brilliant wines coming from this region.

Randy Dunn made his first eponymous Howell Mountain cabernet sauvignon in 1979. Dunn cabernets today aren't all that different from earlier vintages. They eschew the trendy giant style that garners high scores from critics. This doesn't mean Dunn wines are thin by any means. The fruit from Howell mountain makes a wine that is tannic for sure, but once you get beyond that (or let the tannins settle with a bit of aging) the fruit is extraordinarily elegant and...

Wine Podcast: The Honest Pour with John LenartEp. 40 Alberto Frea, Brand Ambassador, FontanafreddaBack in the 1980's and earlier, one wouldn't think of drinking a Barolo that was less than 20 years old. Nebbiolo, the grape used to make Barolo, is a late ripening variety which in some years never reached full ripeness. Even in good years the tannins in nebbilolo took decades to mellow to the point of being palatable. Wait a few decades however, and Barolo would release the delicate, floral beauty hidden below its rough exterior. Over the years, global warming, combined with modern vinification techniques allow consumers to drink many Barolo bottlings upon release.Â
Fontanafredda recently celebrated its 160th year. Wh...

But not all trebbianos are created equally. 350 meters above the town of Cugnoli in Abruzzo, Riccardo Tiberio found a very old plot of trebbiano d'Abruzzese, which, despite it's name, is neither the same grape as trebbiano Toscano, nor is it common in Abruzzo.Â
