Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

265: 'Matt Talks Wine & Stuff with Interesting People' Podcast: Episode 256: Master of Wine & Director of Education for CAPS Ontario Elsa MacDonald
Q: What's the difference between someone who is a Master of Wine and someone who is a Master Sommelier?
The Master Sommelier path is hospitality-focused, emphasizing service, staff management, and wine program development, while the Master of Wine is broader, incorporating theory across viticulture, winemaking, and business, plus three tasting exams and a research paper, attracting people from diverse careers.
262: 'Matt Talks Wine & Stuff with Interesting People' Podcast: Episode 253: Shiraz Mottiar, Winegrowing Director for Malivoire Wine Company
Q: How did you transition from assistant winemaker to head winemaker and expand your duties at Malivoire?
I gradually took on more responsibility as the previous manager moved on, focusing on bringing more fruit and freshness, reducing alcohol levels for better food pairing, and then embracing a broader role that included barrels and blends, with Anne Sperling offering mentorship during the transition.
261: 'Matt Talks Wine & Stuff with Interesting People' Podcast: Episode 252: Angela Aiello
Q: What makes your rosé unique in your lineup?
She describes the rosé as 100% Cab Franc with eight hours on skins, a single vineyard fruit source, and a color-driven approach that emphasizes both aesthetics and flavor, aiming for a rosé that is elevated beyond the typical patio wine.
261: 'Matt Talks Wine & Stuff with Interesting People' Podcast: Episode 252: Angela Aiello
Q: How long have you been making wine?
Angela explains that it has been a long, evolving journey, with multiple roles over two decades, and that the current phase includes her collaboration with The Crush On King and her own label work.
255: 'Matt Talks Wine & Stuff with Interesting People' Podcast: Episode 246 - Sommelier Mia Martensson
Q: How do you approach building a wine program in a luxury resort on a remote island?
Start with a robust cellar design, direct importing to cut costs, and a tasting menu that pairs with a chef's table concept, while creating accessible experiences like Flight Club to educate guests and drive demand.
