3 time is a trick!! We're back in Canada, and to one of my absolute favourite wine producers... period! Mission Hill Family Estate is located in the beautiful Okanagan Valley, a region producing outstanding wines across the board. I was hooked at first taste back in 2016 when Canada and Mission Hill submitted their first entries into the Global Fine Wine Challenge, and each subsequent year has re-affirmed my love of these incredible wines.

In this episode, Ross Anderson chats with Mission Hill's Chief Winemaker, the delightful Corrie Krehbiel. Mission Hill, under Corrie's guidance has the Midas touch - crafting delightful, intense, pure and precise expressions of Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay and Bordeaux Blends... wow! These wines easily rival some of the best in the world.

This was a fun interview - I hope you'll take a listen, and your curiosity into the Canadian wine scene will be piqued!

Be sure to visit www.missionhillwinery.com for more information, and be sure to sign up and join the wine club!

Be sure to check out the Mission Hill Family Estate results from the 2022 Global Fine Wine Challenge.

Nestled at the feet of the towering Andes Mountains with more than 320 days of sunshine each year, Mendoza is a region defined by wine, much the way Bordeaux or Napa is. After all, it’s the world’s fourth largest wine producing region. Mendoza, however, is more than vineyards and wine cellars. It’s a place that feels like a last frontier where the Andes and the intensity of the sun is woven into every expression. With over 150,000 hectares of vineyards and hundreds of wineries, tucked away in the heart of Pedriel in the Lujan de Cuyo district is Cavas Wine Lodge, a Relais & Chateaux property founded by Cecilia Diaz Chuit and her husband Martin Rigal  in 2005. The first luxury ‘wine lodge’ in Mendoza, Cavas came to life through their relentless vision, passion, and persistence. Their presence and personal touch as owners, too, is the secret sauce that makes this property so magical–and sustainable in time. Maybe you have stayed in Cavas, or perhaps it’s on your list to check out, in this interview, Cecilia will take you behind the scenes of Cavas--it's a bit like visiting a hotelier friend in Mendoza. Grab your 'vinito' and let’s go.

In this episode we talk about:

• How Cecilia’s upbringing lead her into travel and a career as a hotelier and entrepreneur
• Mendoza in the early 2000s and how it has grown up as a wine region
• How she and her husband found Cavas stunning location (vineyards! Andes! Minimalist architecture!) and why Argentine wine country geographically looks so different than other wine regions
• What the secret is to really running a successful hotel
• Anecdotes on life in Mendoza, Argentinian culture and love for the “asado”

Wait a minute, did we say sparkling wines from Argentina?!? Yes! If you think only France, Spain, Italy, and the US make great sparkling wine, you are missing out! Of course Argentina is most known for their outstanding Malbecs, but they are also a top-notch and rising producer of very reasonably priced sparkling wines, some of which use Malbec to make amazing sparkling rosé wines. We taste and review three very different, and very delicious, sparkling Argentinian wines, all from the famous Mendoza region. If you have red wine lovers in your life who don’t think they like sparkling wine, or don’t think that sparkling wine can be sophisticated, we have a wine for you! And if you are looking for a great price point for high quality sparkling wines that go great with food and are crowd pleasers, Argentina must be on your list! Two of the wines in this episode are sparkling rosé using Malbec, and one is a wonderful, traditional sparkling wine using Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and all are more than worth your time to find and taste! Wines reviewed in this episode: Belasco de Baquedano Rosa de Argentina Sparkling, Domaine Bousquet Organic Brut, and Alma Negra Brut Nature Rosé.

Tak trochu náš první speciál. Před 4 dny (17. dubna) celý svět slavil Světový den Malbecu. Proto jsme tenhle díl věnovali pouze Malbecu. Trochu historie, trochu o jeho původu a trochu víc o tom, proč se mu daří právě v Argentině. A to jsme si taky ověřili tím, že jsme si pár Malbeců ochutnali. Ano, i ten z Lidlu...

Olá a todos! 

Hoje compartilhamos com vocês uma entrevista muito especial com o fantástico Gérald Gabillet,  Estate Manager e Head Winemaker da Cheval des Andes. Essa entrevista foi também nossa primeira em espanhol! A tradução e transcrição dessa entrevista estarão em nosso novo website. 

Falamos diversas vezes sobre esse vinho em outros episódios, e nossos ouvintes sabem que esse é sem dúvida um dos nossos vinhos argentinos favoritos (e de muitos críticos também!) 

Um pouco sobre a Cheval des Andes: 

Tudo começou com uma visão de Pierre Lurton (Château Cheval Blanc, Château d'Yquem) que ao descobrir a vinícola de Malbec Las Compuertas viu uma grande oportunidade de reviver vinhos de Bordeaux do passado. A Cheval des Andes então nasce em 1999 de uma joint venture entre o emblemático Chateau Cheval Blanc com a Terrazas de Los Andes, como o Grand Cru dos Andes.

There is nothing quite like visiting Latin America to conduct business. However me, the Brit, visiting Buenos Aires, Argentina maybe classed as biting off more than being able to chew.
Remember history - the Falklands War in 1982, the World Cup of 1966, Maradona's "Hand of God" goal in 1986. There were a few incidents that could rear their ugly head.
Formal meetings, attending a local soccer game between rivals, cow glands for lunch, massive steaks, dog walking in bulk, an economic collapse, bars of questionable merit, plus others. All in the quest to succeed in business.
I came through unscathed and intend to go back one day so I can learn the Tango and visit Patagonia. 
Fulfilling experience, passionate people, great city.
