เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 5 พ.ย. 2022
Irreverent, honest, and fun wine reviews and education for wines people actually drink. In each episode, we learn about, rate, and review three wines that are reasonably priced to help you find hidden gems. Recommended by Decanter magazine, they write about The Wine Pair Podcast: “This entertaining US podcast by Seattle-based husband-and-wife team Joe and Carmela is a fun, irreverent, and chatty introduction to wine, with lots of wine basics, food pairing tips and explainers on varieties and styles.”
Aromatic Dry White Wines: Müller-Thurgau!
If you love Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Grigio, or Albariño, you’re going to also love Müller-Thurgau because they all have something in common: they are all aromatic dry white wines! Now, if you don’t know what aromatic white wines are, don’t worry, we’ll tell you all about them in this episode. We’ll even teach you what terpenes are and why they matter when it comes to aromatic dry white wines. Even better, we’ll tell you how to pronounce Müller-Thurgau, where the name came from (it’s a bit of a Frankenstein’s monster story), and why so much Müller-Thurgau is grown in Italy. After tasting this wine, it is now on our go-to list for white wines - definitely worth learning about and adding to your wine repertoire. Wines reviewed in this episode: 2021 Muri Gries Alto Adige Müller-Thurgau, 2021 Elena Walch Müller-Thurgau

Once again, we present our version of Spotify Wrapped where we review the top 10 and bottom 10 wines we tasted and reviewed in 2024.

Most wine reviewers only share with you the wines they rate highly, but we share the wines we think y...

No one is really sure how Chenin Blanc got to South Africa, or why it has been called Steen there for centuries, but one thing is for sure - if you want to taste some of the best Chenin Blanc in the world outside of...

Aamira is the CEO and Winemaker for LoveLee Wine...
WTF is Picpoul?
มุมมอง 172 หลายเดือนก่อน
Picpoul translates to “lip stinger” in the original dialect, and this is not your typical high acid white wine. In fact, we were pretty surprised by this wine overall. It had more body (read: alcohol) than a typical zippy white wine, and more body as well. Although it is often called a summer sipper, this wine felt more like a fall wind-breaker. Picpoul is not a commonly grown wine grape, and d...

You may think that Rosé is a summer wine, made for sipping by the pool - but did you know it is the perfect pairing for Thanksgiving?!? We ain’t sh*&^ing you! The kind of Rosé you serve matters, because after all Rosé is a way of making wine, and so the grapes in the Rosé and the style in which it is made make all the difference. And so in this episode, we talk about what to look for in a Thank...

We generally have pretty good luck with Kirkland wines, and we put our good fortune to the test in this episode by tasting the 2022 Napa Valley Red Blend vs. two other Bordeaux-style blends.

Bread & Butter Wines is one of the fastest growing wine brands in the United States, but does that mean they are any good? Even more importantly, are these wines worth the price? And because these wines rarely show up in the ratings and reviews of the major wine publications, we figured we’d do you a solid and share what we think. In this episode, not only do we taste and give our totally hones...
They Make Wine in Armenia?!? (SOMM: Cup of Salvation)

Armenia may be the oldest wine making region in the world, and yet, have you ever had wine from Armenia? There are some good reasons why that may be, and probably most likely because when they were part of the Soviet Union, the government forced them to make fortified wines like brandy, and the winemaking industry was forced to go underground. Over the past few decades, however, winemaking is h...

It may have an odd sounding name, but Furmint is a wine we are delighted to add to our wine list!

Excellent episode on an overlooked varietal and one of my favorite white wines
C’mon everyone knows Georgia has a more ancient winemaking tradition. I heard they found VARIETAL grape pips in a Georgian amphora (kvevri) 7000 yrs old. Areniks marani is a thousand years newer and the pips are wild grape.
Sekt (zekt) is just the german word for sparkling wine that had a secondary fermentation in general. Tbh the beginning comes of as very juvenile. I nearly stopped listening cause no Info was coming. This Episode is hard to get through w Müller as a family name is one of the most widespread... ...again with the sweet wine stereotype...saying something aggressively does not a german accent make...

Thanks for sharing! We may have to include that in a future episode if we can find it!
great work,
Thanks very much! Appreciate the feedback!
( Pronounced zekt, like a Z, I was recently told.)
I don't get it .. by the way. Ha ha.
Price is a big reason Cabernet Sauvignon is so popular. Try blind tasting wines below $10 a bottle. Odds are if you want a decent dry red wine at this price point, you are buying Cabernet Sauvignon. People learn and set their preferences based on entry level wine, they aren't enjoying chateauneuf du pape, pinot noir or barolo at that price point!
