Cork Taint isn't a podcast, it's a lifestyle. One you're not supposed to know about, like how Burgundy is overrated (but still good) and Zinfandel is the wine Jesus made from water. Bonus, patreon-exclusive episodes on alternating weeks can be found at patreon.com/CorkTaint

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider!
Q: Could you tell us about how you got into wine and started doing what you're doing?
Jeff describes his entry into wine as a personal journey sparked by an engagement and a curiosity about Bordeaux, which led him to explore wine more deeply and eventually build his independent site and reviews.
Domaine des Baumard!
Q: How long is it from pressing to bottling, and do you bottle in-house?
The cycle from pressing to bottling is about nine months, and they bottle in-house using their own bottling unit, maintaining control over the process and allowing flexibility depending on each vintage.
Domaine des Baumard!
Q: What brand of press do you have and how big is it?
They use very large pneumatic presses (two 100 hectoliter units historically) and emphasize central rubber balloons or modern equivalents; decisions are driven by the need to handle uneven ripening and to influence the juice quality as part of terroir expression.
Domaine des Baumard!
Q: Would you mind starting off, telling us a bit about yourself and your family's domain?
Charles describes a long family history in Rochefort-sur-Loire, tracing vines back to 1634, pioneering Savignères plantings, and the ongoing collaboration with his brother Maxime and their father to maintain a family-run estate focused on showcasing terroir through Chenin Blanc.
The Jory Wine Kit!
Q: How much does the thing cost?
The device is priced at 129, positioned under the price point of similar premium decanting tools.
