Are you referring to Rockford's Basket Press? If so, great call! I completely agree that that wine is amazing. I have a bottle in my cellar as we speak and I have tasted at the winery. We have a case available on the Vint Marketplace as well if you are interested - vintmarketplace.com/?s=rockford&post_type=product

Thank you for watching and listening! We appreciate the support and would love any suggestions on what you would like to see next either as a video or in terms of podcast guests!

Awesome! Paul Bara makes excellent wines. There are a ton of excellent Aube producers getting more attention lately, we will look more into Piollot for the Marketplace. The wines look very interesting! Also - we happen to have some back vintages of Paul Bara on the Marketplace if you are interested as well! - vintmarketplace.com/?s=Paul+Bara&post_type=product

Thank you for your submission! We have three more coming up, so there will be more chances soon!

Congrats!

That is a great question, as there are white grapes grown and included in many blends. I have included the list of grapes allowed in the rosés below. To be called AOC Tavel, the wine has to be rosé following the breakdown below. But there is no reason they couldn't make a white Vin de France aside from it being less profitable as it wouldn't have the Tavel name. I am 100% aligned with Nebbiolo rosés being excellent, and I also agree that many of the Blanc de Noirs that I have had seem to be flabby. In those cases, I assume in those wines, the grapes were harvested initially to be reds and they just pulled some to make a white. Thank you for listening and sharing! Great to have more Virginia connections! Styles and Grapes: Rosé - required 30 to 60% combined Grenache Gris, Grenache Blanc, and Grenache Noir - up to 60% Bourboulenc, Clairette, Clairette Rosé, Cinsault, Mourvèdre, Piquepoul Blanc, Piquepoul Gris, Piquepoul Noir, and Syrah - up to 10% each Calitor and Carignan (blanc and noir)

Agreed - We actually spoke with Karen MacNeil a bit about wine TV shows in an upcoming pod interview, so stay tuned to hear her thoughts there!

Costco? I’ve only seen a few champagnes around $30 and that’s only because I’ve order them en premiere

Hi Guillaume, it depends on where you are based. I assume you are in Europe, and there, you can certainly find some of these wines much cheaper than here in the US. I would think you could potentially find the intro bottlings closer to that price point, but I am not sure if many would reach that price point exactly.

You can find many of these wines in the $60 - $100 range in the US (maybe less if you find a deal). There are certainly more expensive bottlings from each producer and Selosse's wines are all on the more luxury end. We are happy to help advise you further on finding some at your price-point.

Thanks for watching and the great suggestions! We would love to hear about some of your favorite wines from these producers.

Thank you for watching! The 2021 Napa vintage was a solid vintage. The growing season began with record-low rainfall and cooler early months, which delayed vine growth until mid-April. From there, a stable season with few significant heat spikes allowed for steady ripening. Despite one brief heatwave in June and a couple of mild surges in late August and early September, temperatures remained moderate. The lack of extreme weather, combined with cool nights, helped preserve the grapes’ natural acidity. Harvest began earlier than usual for both whites and reds. There were small yields and small berries, which resulted in concentrated flavors, higher tannins, and yet great balance. The Cabernet Sauvignon has been described as a blend of the structure of 2013, the freshness of 2016, and the richness of 2019.

Thank you for watching!
