    A Wine Tasting From My Monthly Wine Club

    enOctober 15, 2017

    Podcast Summary

    • Gary Vaynerchuk's Wine Club: Delivering High-Quality Wines with ValueGary Vaynerchuk's wine club delivers high-quality wines tailored to occasions, offering over $100 worth of value for a $55 monthly fee.

      Gary Vaynerchuk, in his latest podcast episode, shared his excitement about the first monthly delivery of his wine club, promising to deliver high-quality wines at a great value to subscribers. He emphasized the thoughtfulness behind the selection and pricing of each wine, aiming to deliver over $100 worth of value in the open market for a $55 monthly fee. He also mentioned that he plans to send wines tailored to specific occasions and holidays throughout the year. Despite some minor production issues during the recording, Gary maintained a laid-back and entertaining tone, encouraging feedback from listeners. The first wine featured in the October delivery was the Crux Family Cellars 2013 Russian River Chardonnay, sourced from one of the world's top vineyard managers, Lee Martinelli Sr. The wine is highly regarded and only 350 cases were produced. Overall, Gary's passion for wine and commitment to delivering value to his subscribers shone through in this episode.

    • New trend in US Chardonnay productionUS Chardonnay moving towards balanced, Burgundian styles. Introducing members to a French Chardonnay and an affordable Greek-style Cabernet as alternatives to heavy reds.

      The wine industry has seen a shift in the production style of Chardonnay in the US, moving away from overly oaky and buttery wines towards more balanced and Burgundian styles. This change excites the speaker, who used to be critical of Californian Chardonnay, and he wanted to introduce members of his wine club to this new trend. He selected a Chardonnay from the Vue D'on Jean producer in Chateauneuf-du-Pape, France, as part of the club's offerings. Additionally, the speaker wanted to offer a white wine to complement the red wines and a more affordable Cabernet, and he chose a Greek-style Cabernet from Lodi as the house wine for the winter. The Chardonnay has a balanced nose with notes of vanilla, apple, almond shell, and green fruit. The speaker encourages members to fully engage their sense of smell when tasting wine to enhance their overall experience.

    • Personal preference in wine tasting and exploring different regionsPersonal preference matters in wine tasting, and exploring various regions can lead to discovering high-quality wines at lower price points.

      When it comes to wine tasting, personal preference plays a significant role. Some people prefer to drink their white wines chilled, while others, like the speaker, enjoy the flavors at room temperature. The Chardonnay discussed, a 2013 Chablis, has distinct high acidity with notes of applesauce, acorn, and fall residue, as well as nuances of seashell, limestone, and blue rock. This well-made wine will last for another 3-4 years and pairs well with salmon, black bass, poultry, and seafood. Another key takeaway is the value of exploring different wine regions and their price points. The speaker discussed his fascination with Lodi, California, as a place where high-quality wine can be found at lower price points than some other regions, such as Napa. He highlighted the success of Wine Library's Lodi Cabernet, called The Competitor, which he helped create and which has been a popular choice for the wine club at the $55 price point. In summary, personal preference and exploring different wine regions and price points are important considerations when it comes to wine tasting and selection.

    • Introducing a new wine club and its unique offeringsExperience full-bodied Cabernet with bright red fruit, rose petal, red licorice, and tar notes for under $25. Try the Grenache Syrah blend from the Southern Rhone region, a notable addition for serious wine drinkers.

      The speaker is introducing a new wine club and the featured wine, which stands out from competitors due to its unique flavor profile. On the nose, the wine offers bright red fruit, rose petal, red licorice, and an intriguing hint of tar. The taste is described as a full-bodied Cabernet with notes of cherry, caramel, dark fruit, and a hint of tar, delivering a delicious and enjoyable experience for wine enthusiasts. The speaker emphasizes that the wine is priced under $25 and offers great value for its taste and scoring from wine critics. The third wine in the pack is particularly exciting for serious wine drinkers, as it is a Grenache Syrah blend from the Southern Rhone region, with a pedigree of high accolades and awards. The speaker reminisces about the significance of this type of wine in his career, making it a notable addition to the wine club.

    • Introducing a new peppery red wine clubJoin our new wine club for $55/month to enjoy high-quality, complex peppery red wines with a long aging potential. Engage with us on social media for feedback.

      The speaker is passionate about wine and is introducing a new wine club offering high-quality, peppery red wines with a long aging potential. He describes the wine as having a complex peppery nose and a full, spicy flavor profile that rivals wines in the $75 to $100 price range. The speaker encourages viewers to try the wine themselves, either by opening a bottle after 2 to 4 hours of breathing or decanting, or by cellaring it for 8 to 12 years. He emphasizes the importance of feedback from the wine club members and invites them to engage with him on social media. The wine club membership costs $55 a month. Overall, the speaker's enthusiasm for the wine and his desire to share it with others is contagious.

    • Join Gary Vaynerchuk's Wine Club for High-Value DeliveriesGary Vaynerchuk's Wine Club offers valuable wine deliveries starting from $55, including audio and video recordings of winemaker's tastings, and can provide up to $200 worth of wine per month.

      The Gary Vaynerchuk Wine Club offers high-value wine deliveries every month with no shipping cost, starting from $55 for one bottle. Members receive audio and video recordings of the winemaker's tastings, making it an excellent value for wine enthusiasts. Despite expressing his disappointment, Gary emphasizes the significant value of the club's offerings, which can range from $100 to $200 worth of wine per month.

    The Most Important Question In Business

    The Most Important Question In Business

    Here’s the problem most people run into when they create content online: They think they have to have something to say. So many of you aren’t putting out content online because you think you need to have the perfect message, or something “valuable” to share (based on your own arbitrary opinion). And what I’m telling you is, you will get more business if you put out literally anything. If you’re an auto dealer, you could put out a 5 min video every afternoon just recapping what happened in your day. If you’re a real estate agent, you could post updates on what your opinions are about the Super Bowl teams. Get on social media and tell your truth … it’s really that simple.

    100 - LIVE Wine Tasting, Market Street Wine. Why is Petit Manseng so vilified?

    100 - LIVE Wine Tasting, Market Street Wine. Why is Petit Manseng so vilified?

    Why is Petit Manseng so vilified? Just one of the topics we discuss during this very special LIVE event recorded at Market Street Wine to celebrate its new owners, Siân Richards and Thadd McQuade, and the 100th episode of Edacious. This special partnership acts as both celebration of our two businesses reaching an important benchmark, and one of community, sharing, and learning. Four celebrated local winemakers join us to offer a special taste of two different varietals and to discuss the future of winemaking in Virginia: Corry Craighill of Sunset Hills Vineyard and 50 West Vineyards, Kirsty Harmon of Blenheim Vineyards, Matthieu Finot of King Family Vineyards, and Ben Jordan of Early Mountain Vineyards.

    How do winemakers decide what grapes to grow and exactly where on the land to grow them depending on wind, slope, elevation, soil, and amount of sunlight? Which sites and grape varieties make your best wines? How do we adjust to the terroir as winemakers, especially in terms of breaking from classical approaches set forth by other regions? What grapes are good for Virginia's soil? What grapes are winemakers discovering actually work surprisingly well with our dense clay and warm humid temperatures? What are some current trends in winemaking and where should we go in the future with our sites and grapes varieties? Where is the next great vineyard going to be located?

    Did you know a wine can turn into a completely different one depending on its serving temperature? King Family Vineyards Viognier is a great example because this small-batch wine tastes COMPLETELY different when it's cold than when it's served at room temperature, which can affect pairings. One restaurant even serves it with two separate courses! Fascinating.

    As Kirsty says, every year, every grape is an experiment. Winemaking is science. But it's also farming. Even if you use cloned grapes you depend on the amount of rain, the wind, the copious sunlight or lack thereof. Not sure what the cloned grape process entails? Listen to my exclusive clip with Matthieu Finot of King Family Vineyards available to all Patreon sponsors! Not a sponsor yet? Find out more here. For as little as $1/month you can ensure this community podcast stays edacious.

    Whether you're a wine newbie like me or a geeked-out expert this episode has something for everyone. Pour yourself a glass, find your favorite spot, and enjoy! One hundred episodes. Wow. That's a lot of talking. What was my favorite of the 100? You'll just have to listen to find out. See you in 101.

    All the wines we tasted are listed below. Every one of them is now available at Market Street Wine except for the Sunset Hills Shenandoah Springs Chard, which will be available at the winery this summer. Thank you to all of the attendees, winemakers, and to Siân and Thadd for allowing me to mark this milestone in such a badass way. Cheers!
