Podcast

Maria Larrea got off the plane and came straight to the Toronto studio to talk about her fantastic wines that will be coming out in vintages shortly.

So it turns out the winemakers want to know how the mind of a wine writer works – Kelly Mason sits down with Michael Pinkus to figure out what makes him tick. Who knows – it might be Chardonnay.

André recently purchased a bottle of wine for $129 dollars – Michael said there is no bottle of wine worth this hefty sum. André also recently tried Coca-Cola and Red Wine – Michael thinks André has finally lost his mind.

Michael and André sit down with Will Roman from Rosewood – the portfolio has made some significant changes since hiring winemaker Ryan Corrigan so we find out what’s going on.

André and Michael recap their favorite wines of Cuvee, and got a chance to speak a bunch of winemakers!

It’s always fun when Michael raids his wine cellar. Now that his lovely wife doesn’t enjoy Riesling – André gets to reap the spoils. We taste through an interesting lineup of old Riesling.

André sat down with Umberto Cosmo of Bellenda Prosecco. Michael was absent.

You may remember Penelope Irving, of Family Wine Merchants from our Fried Chicken and Icewine episode. But we also opened some bottles that Michael wrapped in tinfoil to see what they were – how did we do?

Michael has a bee in his bonnet about the stemware at a recent wine event. André thinks he’s being a big baby.

André and Michael sit down with Winemaker Isabel Mitarakis of Don Melchor at the Foxley on Ossington.

André and Michael muse about twenty dollar bottles of wine.

This podcast is a little gratuitous – but Michael let André brag a bit about his trip to Europe.
