  • So Much Wasted Potential

    GuildSomm did a great job choosing this topic that’s so relevant to us collectors of fine wine from Napa Valley. Unfortunately, Chris Tanghe seemed to sleepwalk his way through the interview and seemed completely uninterested in engaging with Mr. Pearson. When the topic turned to the all important question of how LVMH was spending its considerable resources to overhaul vineyard farming practices at this venerable property, Mr. Tanghe declared they were out of time, and the topic was cast aside. ... more

  • Absolutely vital

    From the yearly reviews, to the deep dives on regions and grapes, to the blind-tasting episodes where I can pick up priceless tips, hints and help, this has become my "go-to" podcast when commuting to my sommelier job.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Glassware with Maximilian Riedel
Q: What's your stance on hand-made vs machine-made glasses in terms of taste and price?
Technology has bridged much of the gap; machine-made glasses can achieve comparable performance at a lower cost, while hand-made glasses offer tradition and customization, but both can deliver excellent results depending on budget and context.
Glassware with Maximilian Riedel
Q: How do you approach developing a grape-variety-specific glass?
We start with profiles provided by winemakers, tasting multiple vintages, and iterating through many shapes until the group consensus aligns with the intended fruit, acidity, and mineral signature, all while ensuring practicality and production feasibility.
Glassware with Maximilian Riedel
Q: Can you explain the science behind why a Pinot Noir glass matters for Oregon compared to Burgundy?
The key differences come down to minerality and fruit expression; the Oregon glass is tailored to accentuate those regional traits by adjusting the shape to promote the desired scent and taste profile, based on winemaker feedback and blind tastings.
Oregon and Method Sparkling with MW Bree Stock
Q: What is Method Oregon all about?
Method Oregon is a nonprofit collaboration among Oregon producers to create a clear quality standard for traditional method sparkling wine from the region. It defines provenance (Oregon-grown fruit), traditional méthode fermentation, a minimum lees-contact/léage framework, and upcoming farming and labeling standards, including 24 months on lees and future OMRI/live certifications, to ensure consistency and regional identity without mandating grape varieties.
Alternative Wine Packaging with Melissa Saunders MW
Q: How long can wine last in a bag-in-box after opening?
If the wine is high-quality to begin with and properly prepared (including sulfites at safe minimums), it can stay fresh for about a month in the box after opening, with up to 9–12 months from fill date before opening as a general quality control guideline, varying with wine style and storage conditions.
