  • It is so bad

    They talk about aromas being “inclusive “

    It is sad and ridiculous

  • Usually love it but . .

    The episode with Dave Rodman was so hard to listen to. Call me Gen X, but his use of "like" as a filler was so distracting and outwayed any useful takeaways.

  • Not well done

    I’ve tried over and over to listen without a bad attitude. Unfortunately, it just isn’t well done from the host to producing. I love wine and have for decades. This just isn’t interesting. It sounds like a forced conversation about minutiae. It’s a fail for me.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 227: An Infamous Cult Nearly Upended Oregon Wine
Q: Tell us a little bit more about how the Rajneeshees came within an eyelash of disrupting the Oregon wine industry, especially the Willamette Valley.
The group had planted nine acres and planned to make commercial wine, aiming for about 1,100 cases in 1985 and a future expansion to 30 acres. Legal problems and dwindling funds stopped the plan before the first vintage.
Episode 227: An Infamous Cult Nearly Upended Oregon Wine
Q: Who were the Rajneeshees and what was their goal with settling in Oregon?
Michael Alberti explains that followers of Bhagwan Sri Rajneesh moved from India to establish a larger, remote community in Oregon, partly as a place to survive what they believed could be a future world war.
Episode 222: And Just Like That... Sarah Jessica Parker Makes Jalapeño Wine
Q: What would Carrie Bradshaw drink if she were in today's wine culture?
She would likely favor sophisticated, red wines such as Pinot Noir, with a possibility of enjoying rosé in summer, reflecting a shift toward versatile, stylish wine choices.
Episode 222: And Just Like That... Sarah Jessica Parker Makes Jalapeño Wine
Q: Are there other trends in the pipeline besides the spicy wine?
They emphasize sustainable innovation and longer-lasting wine concepts like zero-alcohol options, aiming for wines that can sit in a consumer's fridge as staples rather than seasonal novelties.
Episode 222: And Just Like That... Sarah Jessica Parker Makes Jalapeño Wine
Q: How did the jalapeño wine idea come about and how is it made?
The idea grew from bartenders and distributors noticing jalapeño being used with Sauvignon Blanc, then being developed into a precise process that preserves flavor without overpowering the wine, using jalapeño-infused alcohol as a flavor vehicle and careful blending.
