Our guest is Nori Nakamura who is the owner and winemaker at Noria, a unique winery in California. 

When we eat Japanese food, we almost automatically think to pair it with Japanese sake or Japanese beer. 

On the other hand, Japanese sake has become so popular globally that you can find it at Michelin-starred, non-Japanese restaurants outside of Japan these days. 

Nori decided to break the preconception and now is making beautiful wine that pairs perfectly with Japanese food. 

In this episode, we will discuss how Nori, who used to be in the high-end hotel industry in Japan, became a winemaker, his wine-making philosophy, what types of wine go well with Japanese food, the future of Japanese food and wine pairing, and much, much more!!!

What does Beringer White Zinfandel and Luke Taylor have in common? One of the only White Zins I tried back in the day when I visited Beringer and it wasn't too bad plus no need to brush the sugar off your teeth after consuming. This week on the Cork & Taylor Wine Podcast, we got Ryan Rech, the chief winemaker of Beringer Vineyards. This Napa winery is old like really old and haven't had their wines in forever...they were yummy! Ryan has a really cool story and the wannabe Hulk Hogan (I gave him that title) talks a little health, weightlifting and his life in general! I almost forget we talked about the famed Knights Valley which Beringer is known for. Always a ball on the Cork & Taylor Wine Podcast!

One of my favorite things in the world is collecting wine so why not talk about it on the Cork & Taylor Wine Podcast. Since the first ever bottle I purchased to collect was a 2004 Don Melchor, the bug has gotten me. After building two wine cellars, I pass on some how to's and how not's.  Make the right choices for you and enjoy for decades to come!

We talked with 5 winemakers/vintners out of Napa and Sonoma to get a true taste of the 2020 Harvest.  Fires wrecked havoc on the vineyards and winemakers await patiently to see if their grapes are smoke tainted or not. In this episode, we get a first hand view from David Ramey, Tom Meadowcroft, Michael Keenan, Robert Foley and Tor Kenward.  This episode is one not to be missed.
