chablis

Who are we with and without our memories? Are we sentenced to inherit intergenerational trauma? It’s debate club hour on DS9, and Lily and Cole are going deep. We also propose an in-universe explanation for why Jadzia acts like such a wet sock in season one! (Warning: excessive references to sister 90s courtroom show Ally McBeal.) 

🍷 Wine pairing: Chablis "Terroir de Courgis" from Patrick Piuze

It's a wine word almost everyone uses - but no one really knows what it means, what causes it, or where it's come from.

It makes some people angry, it leaves others mystified - but some adore the term and can't get enough of it. 

Is this yet another example in wine of (as one listener calls it), 'superstition, witchcraft and myth' that is nothing more than, 'absolute b*llocks'?!

Welcome to the big 'minerality' mystery.

In this episode, we dare to dive headlong into the snakepit of confusion, ambiguity and downright mystery that is the notion of 'minerality' in wine.

But we're not alone. We've recruited the likes of sensory scientist Dr Heber Rodrigues and writer Meg Maker to enlighten us with the latest research and thinking on this intriguing topic.

We ask questions like: what makes a wine mineral? What do people mean by the term? Which wines in particular tend to show mineral characteristics? Is it a good or a bad thing? Is it a vineyard or winemaking phenomenon? 

Ultimately - should we get rid of it, or cherish it?

We taste two wines in order to put our own language under the microscope. There's an element of mud-slinging and mutual recrimination before we manage (more or less) to define what we mean by minerality.

We also give a final judgement on whether, in our view, minerality should be part of the wine lexicon or not. The result...may surprise you.

Wines tasted in this episode

Wines: NV Simonnet-Febvre Crémant de Bourgogne Brut, 2020 Simonnet-Febvre Chablis, 2018 Louis Latour Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru and 2018 Louis Latour Corton Grancey Grand Cru.

Our guest today is Charles Bultmann Ducker. Charles is the Southeast Manager for Louis Latour. We were fortunate to have Charles join us in person in our studio to tell us about these wines, Louis Latour and their acquisition of Simonnet-Febvre.

It's always a treat to talk with someone who's lived out a lifelong passion for wine, and Charles has done just that. From falling in love with wine in college, to his days working with a South Carolina legislator in Washington D.C., to owning his own distribution company to becoming the Southeastern Sales Manager for Louis Latour USA, Charles is an excellent example of living a life doing what he loves. There's no better representative than Charles for Louis Latour, a classic French house that remains family owned since their establishment in 1797.

Listen to Charles  shares his story, that of these wines and Louis Latour in this can't miss episode for any wine lover -- oh, and, spoiler alert! - the wines were FANTASTIC!

On this episode of Wines To Find, hosts Sandy & Michelle are joined by John and Jessica, two members of the international social media collaboration, Sips Around The Globe who share their mission to corral their combined 100K social media followers to showcase wines they love from producers with whom they've developed personal relationships. Born from their mutual love of wine and their interest in sharing that enthusiasm with the world via social medial accounts, the Instagram handle @sips,aroundtheglobe was created to feature wines from producers, both small and large, that might not otherwise receive such exposure. An interesting take on how the world is smaller through social media and how industries can benefit from hobby enthusiasts, as well as how hobbyists can impact the industries they support through social media, this episode is as multi-dimensional as a complex glass of wine. Tune in today to hear more!

Silicon Valley tech entrepreneur Michael Baum is rebooting Burgundy, even under lockdown (which he rails against while being stuck in France, separated from his wife and boys in San Francisco). He explains why he prefers French wine to Californian, and talks about how coronavirus and his tech-based approach may help prompt radical change in wine – which is about getting closer to customers, at a time when close contact is challenging at best. Following on from Michael’s choice of ‘isolation wine’, Susie and Peter whizz through a mini masterclass on how to find good value white Burgundy – that holy grail for wine lovers. There’s even time to mention David Beckham (again…)

A surprise guest today in the form of a neighbor chat. Also more about Sage Walker and Jim Sorenson, mentioned in yesterday's blog post, Do You Need a Critique Group – Or Something ELSE? Plus thoughts on science fiction, etc.
