wines to find

Wines: J Bucher 2022 Sauvignon Blanc, J Bucher 2022 Rosé of Pinot Noir, 2021 Bucher Vineyard Pinot Noir, and Three Sixty Bucher Pinot Noir.

Get ready to journey from the dairy farms of Switzerland to the grape vineyards of California with our lovely guests, John and Diane Bucher. Discover their unique transition from dairy farming to growing grapes and crafting exquisite wines. As we get a taste of their 2022 Savignon Blanc, the Buchers reveal the secrets behind its crisp acidity and the blend of citrus and tropical fruit notes. Not only do they enlighten us about their family history and their 40-acre vineyard, but they also offer an insider's view of their sales, marketing, and relationships with other wineries.

Stick around as we sip the Bucher's 2022 Rosé of Pinot Noir and delve into the artistry behind their saignée rosé. Diane, with her profound experience in sales and marketing, paints a vivid picture of the winery's operations and the collaborative spirit of the winemaking community. Through her stories, we  discuss their custom crush facility and their tasting room, but also discover the warm hospitality of Sonoma County.

As we reach the finale of our conversation with the Buchers, we touch upon their labor of love - the meticulous vineyard practices that aim to produce the finest quality grapes. As we discuss the impact of weather on their harvest and their diverse range of Pinot Noirs, we also learn about the influence of microclimates on the taste of their wines. Don't miss the end where we rate their wines, providing you with a clear idea of what to expect from their remarkable offerings. This episode provides a comprehensive peek into the intricate world of winemaking and the delightful treasures of the Bucher vineyard.

Wines: Chateau Miraval  2021 and Chateau Dauzac Margaux 2019

As we are approaching our 200th episode - a reminder that each week,  we try two wines we've never had before - quick math, ep 174 means a minimum of 348 wines featured on Wines To Find so you would think it would be difficult to find wines or at the very least, easy to slot in wines we'd like to try.

Welp, the Miraval rosé has been on my  (Michelle's) list for quite some time and we're somehow just now getting to it. Hyped as an excellent example of Provencal Rosé and well accoladed - listen to hear what we thought of it.

And this Chateau Dauzac Margaux was a Costco find right when we were digging into Margaux, so it's been glaring out from the wine cooler at us for a while (and not just because of the super bright yellow label).

So many wines, so little time -- glad we were able to finally fit these two in!!

Wines: Fresh Vine 2019 Pinot Noir & 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon

When considering what wines will fit into your lifestyle, it’s important to determine for yourself which factors are important to you. For some, world-view or food sourcing best practices are paramount, for others, dietary concerns or weight management are important to consider, for some, pricing and quality are primary.

In developing the concept of the Wine Taste Filter, we identified four different categories of the varying concerns most consumers have, which we are calling “mountains” and we understand each of these concerns isn’t for everyone, which is why we’re asking: which mountains are YOU willing to climb?

We want to help you identify your priorities when fitting wine into your lifestyle by giving you information and tools to decipher those crazy wine labels and marketing buzzwords to help you determine which wines fit those priorities.

Listen to hear us breakdown the categories and describe what factors fall under each. Keep following along on our "Fitting Wine Into YOUR Lifestyle" series to assist you to be more intentional in your wine selection and to make the most of your wine purchase power.

Wines: Grand Sud Chardonnay and Our Daily Red

Wine is personal, subjective, romanticized and heavily marketed. Determining how to fit wine into your lifestyle should always start with your personal tastes and preferences. In the next six episodes we will discuss different lifestyle choices and changes many have made or choose to make for various reasons.

Our goal is to assist you in identifying not only wines that will fit your taste preferences but also other factors such as cost concerns, fitness and wellness goals, whether you support sustainability efforts and/or have concerns about how your food is grown and treated. Are low sugar wines something you're curious about? How about organic, biodynamic, or sustainably grown? We will taste and talk about these and more!

As we start, we revisit a couple wines each of enjoyed before our lifestyle and wine tastes changed as we grew with Wines To Find. Listen to see if they still "fit" us and explore the concept of applying your own Wine Taste Filter to your wine purchases.

Wines: 2021 The Blacksmith Barebones & a Jean Louis Grande Reserve Cote du Rhone

In this episode we share some Q&A's from one of our recent Wines To Finish Nights. As our listeners know, we typically Coravin the wines we feature on the podcast so that we can share them with others after we record. In keeping with our WTF abbreviation, we call these gatherings Wines To Finish tastings.

This particular gathering was of young wine drinkers - a group of seniors from the University of South Carolina, including Sandy's son, Alex. The group was varied in their exposure to wine but all had an interest in learning more and, as they're college-aged living the student life, many were concerned about budget/sourcing good wine at prices affordable for them.

Ever wondered what wine to drink to not get hungover or what wine to take when meeting your girl or boyfriends's parents for the first time? We share more of their questions, our answers and  the lively discussion we had ~ Listen & Enjoy!

Now, with over two years tasting experience and countless hours talking with with winemakers, industry insiders and fellow enthusiasts, we're revisiting the wines of this area! More to come - but first, listen today to catch up with our current tasting  and wine buying goals!

Wines: 2019 DeLille Cellars Four Flags Cabernet Sauvignon & 2019 DeLille Cellars D2 Red Blend
Guest: Hailey Bohlman

In a "back to basics" themed ep, we are joined by Hailey Bohlman of Cork & Fizz. From the Seattle, Washington, area, Hailey is another wine enthusiast turned pro. Today, her business, Cork & Fizz focuses on wine education and making wine more accessible and approachable.

While tasting two Washington State grown wines (an area we would LOVE to explore more!), we discuss the topic of smelling aromas in wine. We discuss tools such as the aroma wheel and the wine scented oil kits that have common wine aromas bottled for identification purposes and more.

We enjoyed learning Hailey's story and her approach to wine education - you will too, so listen today!
