I touch on this topic so that you can understand why a wine would not be considered “vegan”. I also get into a book I recently finished called “The Last Lecture” by Randy Pausch.

Most people think of red wine (most people being me LOL) when it comes to Bordeaux so I was really surprised when I came across this and was like “we need to try it!” Chateau Bastor-Lamontagne is located in Preignac whic...2024-06-1213 minSip & Grow The PodcastThe family the put Malbec on the mapToday we talk about one of my favorite producers from Argentina who ultimately revolutionized the Argentine wine industry within the last 50 years. Catena is a popular wine making family in Argentina that put Malbec on the map for Argentina. Their vineyards are actually one of the most studied vineyards in the world. They are sticklers for quality which is why they invest so much into studying and evolving their land and grapes. I get into a quick little story time behind this family, their vineyards and the back story to the blend we taste today. To...2024-06-0513 minSip & Grow The PodcastFamily, humanitarians & a red blendJoin me today as I review a random bottle I found at the grocery store that intrigued me. The backstory to this producer is that he dedicated his whole brand to his mom and dad…how freaking cute right?!! Eric Jensen, owner of Harvey & Harriet (today’s wine), bought 100 acres of land in Paso Robles in 2001. The land they bought has a lot of history because it was cultivated in the 1920’s by the booker brothers, two brothers who dedicated their entire life to farming and being humanitarians. The booker brothers actually left 100% of their estate...2024-05-2913 minSip & Grow The PodcastVinho VerdeToday I get into a bottle that was gifted to me which is found in Trader Joe’s at a $4.99 price point!

What is Prosecco? It is an Italian sparkling wine from the Northeast of Italy. This is like the “Champagne” of Italy (France please don’t come for me for that comment… I love me some Champagne too). Italians take their Prosecco very seriously and it was officially recognized in 2009 by the Italian government that regulates the DOC and DOCG systems. These systems are placed to guarantee the best quality out of these wines. For Prosecco to fall under the DOCG category, it must...2024-05-0819 minSip & Grow The PodcastRhone Red Blend + IntentionalityFinding a cool ceramic bottle at the liquor store led to reviewing it on this episode… also it was super intriguing, Nicole had to try it. Today’s wine is a Rhone red blend from Languedoc…the south of France. The producer, Gerard Bertrand, created this “Art de Vivre” bottle which pays homage to the mediterranean region, it’s preserved nature and it’s artists. Also, it celebrates a vineyard that is thousands of years old that is witness to a civilization and living heritage of rare beauty.

Today I open up a wine from this region and taste Portuguese wine for the first time ever. Dao is located in the northern part of the region, south of the Douro Valley. It is named after the Dao River and a majority of the region’s vineyards are located along this river. The altitudes in this area help maintain healthy vines and grapes and also increases diurnal temperature variation (the difference between the highest temperature of the day and the lowest temperature of the night) which impacts the grapes ripening patt...2024-04-1723 minSip & Grow The PodcastBordeaux from the left bankRight and left bank…What is that? I simplify what this means when it comes down to wines from Bordeaux. I watched a show on Apple TV called Drops of God that really opened my eyes to how the French wine world (along with talking to wine experts in the real world too lol). Overall, I will say that the regions in France are prime for making excellent wines. The French are very particular with how they regulate their wines and take winemaking very seriously. I was fortunate to attend the Union Grand Cru wine even...2024-04-1021 minSip & Grow The PodcastCrianza + GrowthToday I open up a Crianza from Protos (today’s producer) located in Valladolid, Spain located about an hour away from Madrid in the wine region of Ribera del Duero. Valladolid is one of the four provinces located in Ribera del Duero and Protos is one of the first wineries in this region. Most of the vineyards at Protos sit on the south facing hills giving them optimal sunlight for maturation. The soil is predominantly limestone, they have a manual harvest and hand sort the grapes on the sorting table. They produce about 3.5 million bottles of win...2024-04-0314 minSip & Grow The PodcastEveryone is a creatorI was at my local Mega Spirits and came across a Pinot Noir Rose from Spain in the sale section… we love a sale. I took a $7.50 gamble and bought this random wine to see if it would be good. In today’s episode I get into this particular bodega owned by two brothers, Hugo and Diego Ortega. Located in central Spain, their vineyard is in the cold section of Ribera del Duero at over 3,000ft of elevation and they primarily plant Pinot Noir. Their philosophy is to value Pinot Noir, produce wines with their own perso...2024-03-2718 minSip & Grow The PodcastInteractions, Perspectives & Some GodelloI have unlocked the white wine madness… once you start you can’t stop. I am getting so much more comfortable with tasting different white wines and today I get into Godello, a grape varietal from the northwestern part of Spain in Galicia. This area is known as the gateway to Galician lands. It is filled with granitic soils which ultimately pushes the roots of the vines deeper into the ground causing them to probe for nourishment which can result in the vines being more resistant to extreme conditions (ex. heat & drought). Today’s wine producer is located on...2024-03-2015 minSip & Grow The PodcastUruguayan wine + passionsUruguayan red wine from a family who’s been producing wine since the early 1900s. Around 1870 Francesco Pisano arrived from La Liguria, Italy to Uruguay. In 1914 his son, Don Cesare Secundino Pisano, moved to Progreso and planted vineyards. It took them about 10 years to produce wine and in 1924 the first family vintage was created. Currently, the vineyard is run by the 4th generation of three brothers: Gustavo (the winemaker), Eduardo (Argonomist) and Daniel (export manager). I love this family story because they are all about loving what they do and I feel their passion through their...2024-03-1321 minSip & Grow The PodcastAlbariño, Galicia & Acidity in wineThe most popular white wine from Spain…. Albariño. Today’s wine is located in the Rias Baxias part of Galicia in the Salnes valley (also known as the “capital of Albariño). It is home to an annual festival called “Festa Internacional do Albariño”. I dive into talking about the misconception behind red wines for people who are just getting into wine and tell me they only like white wines because they taste “sweet” and red wines are “dry”….spoiler alert most wines are “dry” wines but it’s about finding the ones you like. This involves underst...2024-03-0616 minSip & Grow The PodcastClay Soils + PotassiumLet’s talk Tempranillo, one of the most popular grape varietals in Spain. Why is Rioja one of the best wine regions in Spain? I get into this in this episode because as one of the most popular wine regions in Spain, Rioja’s climate and soil is optimal for grape vines to thrive in. The clay like soil allows the vines to thrive and not only gives them hydration when needed because of the easy water retention within these soils but also can easily drain water when there is an excess amount within the soils. We get into soils...2024-02-2818 minSip & Grow The PodcastRioja, Caves & Spanish White WineI was inspired to talk about my historic wine cave experience when I visited a bodega in a small town in La Rioja back in 2022. The bodega is called Lecea. The coolest part is that their cellar is all under a cave and we had a detailed tour explaining all of their winemaking practices and traditions. I even get into talking about how they used goat skins to transport the wine in the 12th, 13th and 14th centuries. The wine I open today is a white wine from Asua (the producer) in the northern part of...2024-02-2116 minSip & Grow The PodcastCanadian WineAbout 5 years ago, I visited Quebec, Canada and had the pleasure of going to a vineyard in Quebec City called Vignoble Les Murmures.

Overall, I talk about the hospitality I experienced during my visit in their space and how I even got to try some smoked salmon and pork Daniel makes on property in his own smoker. With Burgundy-like climate, they grow abou...2024-02-1414 minSip & Grow The PodcastCarbonic Maceration & Beaujolais NouveauToday we get into something that is super popular in the wine world…Beaujolais Nouveau. This wine is made of 100% Gamay grape. What makes this wine so popular is that the grapes are harvested, bottled right after the fermentation process and sold in the stores the same year it is harvested. It is meant to be a young wine that you can drink right away. Traditionally, it is meant to celebrate a successful end of the harvest. The way this wine is made is through a process called carbonic maceration. In the carbonic maceration process, a closed...2024-02-0713 minSip & Grow The PodcastMaking Mistakes, Closing Chapters & LambruscoMy last episode filmed in the west coast (for now hehe) and it’s bitter sweet. I decided to cheers to my wine harvest experience with a sparkling red wine… aka Lambrusco. This is an Italian dry red sparkling wine and my go to for friends who don’t necessarily drink red wines. In my opinion, Lambrusco is the perfect intro to red wines if you are a white wine/sparkling wine drinker wanting to start venturing into the red wine world. Fun facts about Lambrusco is that it is the main gra...2024-01-3119 minSip & Grow The PodcastThe Pope's WineFinally getting into French wines today. I’m pumped because this is a little out of my comfort zone (currently learning more about them and how the French wine system works). I know French wines have a delicious reputation and well, as wine experts would say, historically are some of the best wines out there. Today I open up a Chateauneuf du Pape aka the pope’s wine. Back in the 13th century, Pope Clement V moved from Rome, Italy to France to the region Chateaunef du Pape. He loved wine and was the first person t...2024-01-2416 minSip & Grow The PodcastNapa, Jazz & Cabernet SauvignonMy family came for a weekend to visit me during Harvest and I was able to experience Napa with them! My favorite vineyard that was definitely my "weekend favorite" and that I highly recommend you visit if you ever have the opportunity to do so is called Palmaz. It is owned by Julio Palmaz, an Argentinian doctor who is known for inventing the balloon-expandable stent (life-changing invention = let’s buy a vineyard and make wine lol). Him and his wife had a passion for wine making and bought a good chunk of land (around 600 acres) in Napa Valley in 1997.

It’s known to be the parent grape for Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Carmenere. Usually it has a higher price point because it is often used in premium Bordeaux blends. Depending on where this grape is grown (aka climate, terroir, etc.), the wine can be lighter or bolder. Overall, it has a wide range of pairing opportunities. One of my favorite things about Cabernet Franc’s is that they tend to have a very herbaceous character because of the “pyrazine” aroma compound found in the w...2024-01-1018 minSip & Grow The PodcastPunch Downs & Pump OversIn the wine world, once we get the grapes in to start fermenting they go through processes called “punch downs” & “pump overs”. Today I teach you what these mean… wine terminology, yayy! The “cap” is basically the top layer of the solids/grapes in the tanks. When making wine it is important to manage the cap. Cap management basically means extracting the flavors, colors and tannins from the grapes. It is a super important process in winemaking and I talk about two methods used to manage the cap… punch downs and pump overs. Pump overs are...2024-01-0324 minSip & Grow The PodcastChianti ClassicoIn episode 13, we talked about Chianti (this region is near and dear to my heart because I studied abroad in Florence)…. today I get into Chianti Classico. One of the biggest differences between the two is that a Chianti has to be made with at least 70% of the Sangiovese grape and a Chianti Classico has to be made with at least 80% of the Sangiovese grape. Diego Finocchi (today’s producer) went to school to be a winemaker and at age 24 bought twelve acres from a local farmer (aka he bought land in a prime location - the historic part of C...2023-12-2718 minSip & Grow The PodcastThe great grape of SpainThe first Spanish wine of the podcast! We are getting into one of the greatest grape varietals in Spain…. Tempranillo. Did you know there are a ton of synonyms for this grape?! My favorite is “Tinta de Toro”, learning all these synonyms will help you understand that you are probably looking at the same varietal at the store… it just has SO MANY different names.

This one definitely surprised me because it was well balanced, had good length and was persistent. Makes me want to be by the water eating some fresh seafood for sure. I get into details regarding the fermentation process and turbidity of the wine. I also discuss the process of racking the wine and how winemakers sometimes add fining agents that help break down the left over sediments in wine to ultimately achieve the desired finis...2023-12-1322 minSip & Grow The PodcastLove & Some Montepulciano D'Abruzzo is the SolutionMontepulciano D’Abruzzo for the win today!

The Chianti we try today is within the DOCG Italian Classifications in which there are a lot of regulations, like controlling the yield amount of the grapes, in order to be considered or accepted under this classification.

Today’s wine is a Primitivo from California and I get into the difference between a Zinfandel & Primitivo. Yes, they are the same grape and essentially the “same thing” but there is a difference depending on the country or area it’s cultivated in. I usually tend to like Primitivo’s from Italy but I haven't had many from California to really compare the two. That’s why today’s...2023-11-1521 minSip & Grow The PodcastThe Science Behind WineDid you know there is a lot of science behind the winemaking process?

Sampling grapes is an important part of the process and harvesting the grapes at the perfect time is where the science comes in to help us. I dive into how these different measurements affect the wine and the PH of the wine. Also, the importance and difference between alcoholic fermentation and malolactic fermentation. It is super important to make sure the yeasts in t...2023-11-0830 minSip & Grow The PodcastSuitcase ClonesToday we are trying a Malbec from the US… particularly Sonoma County, California.
