  • Always Try

    But after 15 minutes of what seems to be hosts drunk,

    I stop listening. Sam is the biggest monkey on the wrench who laughs at his own jokes. And Danielle always has a microphone so we could listen to her mousy voice which at times asks the right questions but most of the time interjects with an annoying laugh or a worthless word. The show only needs Brian and Bart who never get in the way when the guest is speaking.

  • Hard to listen to

    IMHO a podcast should be easy to listen to. This is a mess. A big group of people talking, laughing, and giggling over each other is awful. Too many great wine podcasts to waste my time on this.

  • Overly political

    Have been listening to this podcast for years, I’ve enjoyed the content. Unfortunately, with different additions to the show, the content has become overly political and downright violent with rhetoric. No plans to follow the show anymore, very sad have enjoyed it. Please turn down the rhetoric and you may reach more audience members.

  • Matt & Brandon Podcast

    The rattling, talking, laughing and thumping noise created by Brandon hitting his hand on the table and the Smurf, mousy voice of Matt and the other gal, in the background made it unbearable to listen. Besides everything being so funny that wasn’t ( Must of been the buzz they all had going.) Couldn’t deal with it after 15 minutes and moved on to another podcast.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Wine Makers – Isabel is Back in Town!
Q: When you're picking Clairette to make on its own, what is the chemistry you're looking for?
Isabel said they do not target specific chemistry for Clairette. They assess flavor and balance by tasting grapes, juice and samples from the vineyard, looking for purity, some weight and texture rather than underripe tartness.
The Wine Makers – Isabel is Back in Town!
Q: Were you able to visually see your vineyards doing better in this hot summer than your neighbors who are farming differently?
Results varied by vineyard and soil. In a no-till site, mulch kept the soil cooler and the vines showed no heat stress, while nearby vineyards experienced heat damage. Isabel also noted that winter rain and local conditions helped vineyards across the area.
The Wine Makers – Bedrock U, The New Class
Q: How did you get hooked up with them?
Casey says Bedrock had previously farmed Puccini Vineyard, then looked for someone able to manage the small, remote site; she volunteered to take it on.
The Wine Makers – Bedrock U, The New Class
Q: What is it you like about Carignan?
Allison likes its combination of spice, fruit, and acidity, and says it can make a red wine that is both serious and fun.
The Wine Makers – Keith Beavers: The Great American Wine Tour (and a Raid on Phil’s Cellar)
Q: What's happening in Virginia, what you're seeing?
Keith says East Coast winemakers have learned to manage climate and pests, producing elegant, high-acid wines with better fruit. He credits Jim Law at Linden Vineyards with helping develop Virginia winemaking practices.
