Wine 101

I don't know if we think about this much, but American wine is part of global Wine history. We have looked to Europe for inspiration in the past, but what's happening now in the United States is one of the most unique wine cultures in existence. So I want to start documenting this moment in our history, and for the first one, I want to talk to MJ Towler, The Black Wine Guy from the Wine Beats & Life podcast, about his Grenache Fest. Yeah, Grenache- there's a Grenache festival in Washington state every year. This is how we do wine in America. It's awesome. What a great interview. What a great conversation with my good friend MJ.

On this special episode of Wine 101, we share with you an episode that ran on The VinePair Podcast earlier this month. Adam speaks with Barefoot winemaker Jen Wall about her long history with the brand, how it has grown into one of the largest players in the American wine industry, their ongoing partnership with the National Football League, and their recent launch into TetraPak single-serves.

Literally, quiet. I recorded this episode in one take at an art studio in Headlands State Park, California, so my voice is a bit chill. Every morning, I headed up into wine country with no plans, and it was amazing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Adam Wolf of Safforn Fields Vineyards joins to talk about the Willamette Valley White Pinot Noir Fest. I asked him to come to further show how we celebrate wine in the US, like no other place on earth. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A recap and some thoughts on our first wine YouTube series, The Great American Wine Tour, and how it maps out the history of American wine, a story at a time. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
