At a NYC wine dinner introducing the artisan offerings from Philippe Troussier’s Bordeaux vineyard in St. Emilion, David Kohl explains the entrepreneurial spirit necessary to produce quality wines with complex character that compete with neighboring properties that have been operated by renowned local families over a multitude of generations. Philippe Troussier, who met with past success as a globally recognized FIFA soccer coach, believes that the enterprise of small batch wine production requires the same discipline of balance that he achieved during his FIFA career. Finding balance in fruit structure, alcohol level and power endurance is key to delivering elegant wine selections with top consumer value. #winepodcast #bordeauxwine #philippetroussier #bordeauxvineyard #wineproduction
David Kohl believes that France’s Southern Rhone Valley provides wine consumers with fertile ground for value hunting. Today’s selection retails in the $15 range as a blend of Grenache & Syrah produced in the appellation “ Côtes du Rhône Villages”. A peppery + juicy offering with influences from neighboring Provence, this wine demonstrates why consumers don’t need to spend big to obtain top value. #winepodcast #winelover #cotesdurhonevillages #rhonevalley #southernrhonewines #grenache #redwine
David Kohl highlights Chateau Tronquoy, an “under the radar” gem from Bordeaux’s St. Estephe region that was purchased about 20 years ago by Martin + Olivier Buoygues who also own grand cru classe estate Chateau Montrose. The Buoygues brothers added tremendous value to Chateau Tronquoy by undertaking a 10 million euro renovation + assigning the winemaking team from Chateau Montrose to handle production. As a cru bourgeois vineyard with selections priced under $40, Chateau Tronquoy delivers quality beyond expectation. #winepodcast #chateautronquoy #bordeauxlover #bordeauxwine
David Kohl pays tribute to iconic winemaker Michel Rolland who sadly passed away this week at the age of 79 #michelrolland
David Kohl discovered a unique red wine produced from the volcanic soils of Spain’s Canary Islands, located off the coast of Morocco. This offering reflects the smoky ash of the Tenerife appellation with a 100% Listan Negro grape composition. Renowned critics such as James Suckling & Wine Advocate have awarded this selection in excess of 95 Points. #canaryislandsvlog #canaryislands #winepodcast #winelover #listannegro
NY’s Hudson Valley may not be well known as a wine producing region, but today we highlight a refreshing Pet-Nat offering produced from the hybrid grape called Traminette. Traminette was specifically bred to withstand harsh winters and is a blend of white wine grapes Gewurztraminer & Seyve. With a flavor profile packed with orchard fruits, this is a bargain for consumers in the $15 range. #hudsonvalleyny #petnatwine #traminettegrape
David Kohl highlights one of Loire Valley’s lesser-known wine regions : Coteaux du Gennois. As a neighbor to Sancerre, Coteaux du Gennois has been a winemaking destination since the 6th Century but only earned appellation status in 1998. Domaine Poupat run by current family members Philippe, Damien and Xavier has been the cornerstone of Coteaux du Gennois viticulture for almost 400 years., delivering top value Sauvignon Blanc offerings. When comparing Domaine Poupat to a simple cooperative production of Sancerre, Domaine Poupat shines as the more expressive selection with better length. Sancerre pricing is on the rise, Coteaux du Gennois may now be poised to emerge as a more consumer friendly alternative. Both are 100% Sauvignon Blanc with mineral rich soil composition, but Sancerre has a range of pricing that can run twice the cost of Coteaux du Gennois. #winepodcast #loirevalleywine #winelover #winevalues #whitewine #coteauxdugennois #sauvignonblanc #domainepoupat
While dining at popular Cipollini on Long Island, David Kohl discovered this gem on the wine list : a Super Tuscan white blend produced by renowned Vernaccia estate Terre di Tufi. Super Tuscans are overwhelmingly marketed as red wine blends, but this unique offering features a golden hued blend of Vernaccia / Trebbiano / Chardonnay that delivers a creamy citrus tasting experience. #winepodcast #winelover #supertuscan #terreditufi #longislandfoodie #cipollinimanhasset #whitewine #whitewineblend
David Kohl is passionate about value-based wine selections and today presents a prime example from Italy’s Maremma DOC region situated along the coast of Tuscany. Maremma DOC is largely known for its red wine production, with whites garnering less attention from consumers. But this beautiful blend in the $15 range provides a rich tasting experience with more depth than a simple Pinot Grigio, and also pairs perfectly as a food wine. : 70% Trebbiano Toscana / 20% Vermentino / 10% Sauvignon Blanc #winepodcast #italianwine #italianwines #maremmaitaly #docwines #tuscanyvibes #tuscanyitaly #whitewineblend #whitewine
The Jura wine-growing region of France located at the eastern border near Switzerland received appellation status in 1937 and today produces world class selections that do not receive an appropriate amount of attention from the global community of enthusiasts. We highlight an offering from the acclaimed Tissot Family featuring Jura’s signature white wine grape known as Savagnin. A mineral driven tasting experience with notes of almond paste & orchard fruits, this rich varietal is often compared as a cross between Chardonnay & Gewurztraminer. #winepodcast #jurawine #whitewine #savagningrape #winelover
David Kohl explored different enclaves of Paris in a recent trip and enjoyed St. Georges district of 9th Arrondissement where he discovered La Cave Mieux wine shop specializing in naturel/organic wines such as this gem “Les Plaques” produced by Domaine Mont de Marie situated in IGP Gard winemaking region of Languedoc. This unique Blanc de Noir style blend of 4 grapes : Grenache Gris, Grenache Rouge, Grenache Blanc + Carignan Blanc was an opportunity that “The Grape Explorer” could not resist. #winepodcast #winelover #languedocwine #igpgardregion #domainemontdemarie #whitewineblend #9tharrondissement #pariswineshop

David Kohl dines at Opus Steakhouse on Long Island and selects a “premium pour” Angelo Gaja Super Tuscan known as Promis, to pair with a succulent filet mignon with sides of sautéed mushrooms & charred broccolini. This highly regarded blend of Merlot, Syrah & Sangiovese is produced in Bolgheri, Italy as a less pricey offering from superstar winemaker Gaja, who is best known for his elite Barbaresco vineyards. #angelogaja #supertuscan #steakhouse #longislandfoodie #wineanddine
