Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

E96 - Tenuta Sette Ponti · Tuscany, Italy
Q: Why does it matter that the wine tastes like somewhere, and what do we lose if wine stops tasting like a place?
If a wine loses its sense of place, it loses its soul and story; maintaining place ensures the wine carries a narrative of land, climate, and history that distinguishes it beyond mere flavor.
E96 - Tenuta Sette Ponti · Tuscany, Italy
Q: Do you think there is a point where someone must visit to truly understand what's in the glass, or can the wine communicate its place without being there?
Visiting the estate offers a multiplier effect for understanding the wine's story, but the aim is to transfer that sensory experience through the label, storytelling, and tastings so that the identity can travel with the wine even when the visitor isn't there.
E96 - Tenuta Sette Ponti · Tuscany, Italy
Q: Did your family always know which grape belongs where, given the soils vary across the estate?
The family learned through careful trial and error, mapping different parcels to varieties, and adapting over years by observing how each soil responded, with a willingness to replant and reposition vines when needed to pursue quality.
E95 - Domaine Evremond · Kent, England
Q: What does this project signify beyond opportunity?
It signifies conviction, friendship, and a long-term, patient approach to building a premium English sparkling wine that remains true to its place, with a strong narrative about Anglo-French collaboration.
E94 - Château Latour-Martillac · Bordeaux, France
Q: Pessac usually will pick earlier than you. Is that correct?
Yes, the vintners explain that harvest timing is influenced by local microclimate and desired maturity; proximity to the city can mean warmer springs, affecting ripening and harvest windows, and the final choice depends on the target profile for each vintage.
