Grape to Glass: Deconstructing Romance of Winemaking

Welcome to our episode on viticulture and grape growing.  With every good winery there is a great vineyard behind it.  This episode we deconstruct Growth Stages and the life cycle of a vine, topography, and irrigation.  We discuss how and when winemakers need to be in contact with the vineyards as well as needing to know as much about the vine as they do the fermentation.  We attempt to answer the quest on why a vineyard might be planted where and how it is, as well as some locations that you might not want to plant a vineyard.  I hope you enjoy it .  Please rate and review the podcast, you can email us at grapetoglasspod@gmail.com  or on Twitter and Instagram @grapetoglasspod Here's some links feel free to dig around: https://winefolly.com/deep-dive/veraison-when-grapes-turn-red/ https://demystifyingthevine.com/terroir/terroir-topography/ http://mowse.blogspot.com/2012/05/science-of-viticulture-topography-and.html https://www.wine-grape-growing.com/wine_grape_growing/grapevine_growth/grapevine_structure_function.htm https://wine.wsu.edu/extension/weather/growing-degree-days/ https://www.evineyardapp.com/blog/2017/03/01/why-the-need-to-calculate-growing-degree-days-in-vineyard/

Welcome to Episode 5.  This is a wrap-up of answering all of those weird wine terms and questions that might arise before we start diving in to the nitty gritty of everything wine.  Some of the subjects we dive in to are Sommeliers vs winemakers, viticulture, port & icewine ect.  I know that this one is interesting and fun.  if you have any comments ort questions find us at grapetoglass on instagram and twitter, or shoot us an email grapetoglasspod@gmail.com.   Please give us a rating and review on whatever listening app you're using.  

Hello Everyone!! This episode we are still talking about titles you can hold in a winery.  We also are going to dive in to how those positions may change over harvest.  I apologize in advance for some of the audio issues, but I did my best to minimize those.  Please let us know what you think by rating and reviewing the podcast on whatever app you use, that helps us get heard by more people.  Feel free to email us at grapetoglasspod@gmail.com and I will answer those, I would love to hear from you.  On a scheduling note we are going to go twice a month for the foreseeable future because there's just 2 of us, and we also have jobs and families.  We are so grateful for everyone.
