| 5/31/26 | The Cava Revolution Nobody Is Talking About - With Sarah Jane Evans MW | In this episode of the No Sediment Wine Podcast, I sit down with Sarah Jane Evans MW to explore Spanish sparkling wine Cava, its ongoing image problem, and whether the wine world has been too quick to dismiss it as just cheap bubbles. We talk about how Sarah Jane fell in love with Spanish wine, the rediscovery of native grape varieties like Xarel·lo and Macabeo, what really sets Cava apart from Champagne, and the internal battle over ageing, terroir and identity that is reshaping its future.You can also listen to the No Sediment Wine Podcast episodes on Spotify, Apple Podcast, Amazon Music, Google Podcasts and Castbox.Be sure to SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@NoSediment, as I am posting weekly videos on all things wine and monthly wine podcast episodes. **LET’S CONNECT: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blancdenoir/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/blancdenoir TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nosediment | — | ||||||
| 4/29/26 | Tim Wildman MW: FUN Wine vs. FINE Wine | In this episode of the No Sediment Wine Podcast, I sit down with Tim Wildman MW to explore pét-nat, fun wine vs fine wine, and whether the wine world sometimes mistakes seriousness for quality. We talk about how Tim came to make low-intervention sparkling wine in Australia (and then in UK), what pét-nat really is, whether it can express terroir and other exciting topics.You can also listen to the No Sediment Wine Podcast episodes on Spotify, Apple Podcast, Amazon Music, Google Podcasts and Castbox. | — | ||||||
| 3/25/26 | Winery Architecture: Function, Beauty & the Tension Between Them (with Mārtiņš Pīlēns) | In this episode of the No Sediment Wine Podcast, I sit down with Mārtiņš Pīlēns, architect, winemaker, and industrial designer, to explore how winery architecture shapes both the making of wine and the way we experience it. We discuss the historical logic behind winery design, which functional principles still matter today, and how modern wineries balance production, hospitality, and visual identity. We also talk about gravity, temperature, workflow, and transparency in winemaking, as well as the difference between architecture that serves the wine and architecture that steals the spotlight.You can also listen to the No Sediment Wine Podcast episodes on Spotify, Apple Podcast, Amazon Music, Google Podcasts and Castbox.Some of the WINE ACCESSORIES I use regularly:🍷 My Everyday Go-To Wine Glass: https://amzn.to/3OAQAcW🥂 My Favorite Champagne Wine Glass: https://amzn.to/3qhMLRF🥂 One of My Favorite Wine Glasses: https://amzn.to/3uG8Nfc🧳 The Best Wine Suitcase: https://bit.ly/3Zlzuoq (Use code NOSEDIMENT10 for 10% discount)🗜️ I Preserve My Wines with CORAVIN: https://amzn.to/3O1AYPS🪡 CORAVIN Vintage Needle: https://amzn.to/4eVf8bl🐚 CORAVIN Gas Capsules: https://amzn.to/4eVf8bl🍾 I Safely Open Older Bottles with This Cork Puller: https://amzn.to/3iBrFZZ🍾 The Durand Cork Puller: https://amzn.to/3ZuRWfv🏳️ I Polish My Wine Glasses with This Cloth: https://amzn.to/3izWJcx 🪣 My Favorite Wine Chiller: https://amzn.to/4eVf8bl👝 I Safely Transport Bottles With This Sleeve: https://bit.ly/3B8lFBQ📚 Some of my favorite WINE BOOKS: 📙 Native Wine Grapes of Italy by Ian D'Agata: https://amzn.to/4ggqM1P📗 The Wines of Piemonte by David Way: https://amzn.to/4igXrG4📓 Flawless: Understanding Faults in Wine by Jamie Goode: https://amzn.to/3eb7AYP📒Understanding Wine Technology: The Science of Wine Explained by David Bird: https://amzn.to/3e2qBNb📕 Authentic Wine: Toward Natural and Sustainable Winemaking (by Jamie Goode): https://amzn.to/3ygtuAC📘 The Oxford Companion to Wine (by Jancis Robinson): https://amzn.to/49Wwe7V📙 Wine Grapes: A Complete Guide to 1,368 Vine Varieties, Including Their Origins and Flavours (by Jancis Robinson, Julia Harding and Jose Vouillamoz): https://amzn.to/3RCAheM📗 A Life Uncorked (by Hugh Johnson): https://amzn.to/3M5yeyQ📓 Drinking with the Valkyries (by Andrew Jefford): https://amzn.to/45mGBOGBe sure to SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@NoSediment, as I am posting weekly videos on all things wine and monthly wine podcast episodes. **LET’S CONNECT: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blancdenoir/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/blancdenoir TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nosediment #wineeducation #winepodcast #wine *CONTENTS OF THIS VIDEO0:00 Introduction1:30 Mārtiņš Pīlēns’ wine journey4:00 The key functional requirements of wineries throughout history7:40 The idea of winery design throughout history9:17 Which historical functional requirements still matter today, and what new ones have emerged?13:05 How the role of the visitor changed winery design16:28 How architects can shape the visitor experience: good and bad examples26:01 How architecture can influence temperature in winemaking29:25 How architecture can influence workflow in a winery30:38 The importance of gravity in wineries34:33 Hygiene in wineries37:18 CO₂ safety39:51 Sustainability in wineries40:36 Architecture and wine style46:25 Which wineries Martinis recommends visiting48:21 Problems with Bodegas Ysios52:48 Debunking a wine myth53:50 This or That57:53 Answering the previous guest’s questionAs an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. | — | ||||||
| 2/25/26 | Can BORDEAUX Reinvent Itself? (with Jean-Pierre Durand) | In this episode of the No Sediment Wine Podcast, I sit down with Jean-Pierre Durand, the chief winemaker of AdVini, to discuss Bordeaux’s crisis - what’s driving it, what needs to change, and what’s misunderstood about the region today.

| 1/28/26 | Planting Trees for Better Wine: Biodiversity, Balance & Profit (w/ Enrico Rivetto & Stefano Lorenzi) | I sat down with Enrico Rivetto (biodynamic winemaker in Barolo) and Stefano Lorenzi (arborist and manager at Castello di Grumello winery) to explore a growing movement in vineyard farming: vitiforestry (agroforestry in the vines). We break down why growers are bringing trees back into vineyards, what problems they’re trying to solve, and what a “more diverse” vineyard actually looks like in practice. We also dig into the practical questions growers worry about most: choosing the right species, managing wild animals, disease risk, and whether trees get in the way of mechanization. Finally, we look at how you measure if it’s working, what the real trade-offs are, and whether agroforestry could be a blueprint for other monocultures too.Enrico's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rivetto_wines/Stefano's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stlorenzi72/Castello di Grumello Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/castellodigrumello/Stefano's arborist website: https://www.arboricoltorestefanolorenzi.it/Rivetto winery website: https://www.rivetto.it/You can also listen to the No Sediment Wine Podcast and 'Talk Under the VVine' episodes on Spotify, Apple Podcast, Amazon Music, Google Podcasts and Castbox.Some of the WINE ACCESSORIES I use regularly:🍷 My Everyday Go-To Wine Glass: https://amzn.to/3OAQAcW🥂 My Favorite Champagne Wine Glass: https://amzn.to/3qhMLRF🥂 One of My Favorite Wine Glasses: https://amzn.to/3uG8Nfc🧳 The Best Wine Travel Suitcase: https://bit.ly/3Zlzuoq (Use code NOSEDIMENT10 for 10% discount)🗜️ I Preserve My Wines with CORAVIN: https://amzn.to/3O1AYPS🪡 CORAVIN Vintage Needle: https://amzn.to/4eVf8bl🐚 CORAVIN Gas Capsules: https://amzn.to/4eVf8bl🍾 I Safely Open Older Bottles with This Cork Puller: https://amzn.to/3iBrFZZ🍾 The Durand Cork Puller: https://amzn.to/3ZuRWfv🏳️ I Polish My Wine Glasses with This Cloth: https://amzn.to/3izWJcx 🪣 My Favorite Wine Chiller: https://amzn.to/4eVf8bl👝 I Safely Transport Bottles With This Sleeve: https://bit.ly/3B8lFBQBe sure to SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@NoSediment, as I am posting weekly videos on all things wine and monthly wine podcast episodes. **LET’S CONNECT: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blancdenoir/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/blancdenoir TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nosediment #wineeducation #winepodcast #wine *CONTENTS OF THIS VIDEO0:00 Introduction01:50 What is vitiforestry / agroforestry?05:06 Introducing trees in the vineyard and their importance11:22 Impact of trees and bushes on attracting animals and birds16:37 Choosing the right species to plant in the vineyard23:19 Is agroforestry applicable to other monocultures?25:46 Management of wild animals with trees in the vineyard29:57 How do we know that the introduction of trees will actually work?33:10 Possible cons of introducing trees in the vineyard39:10 Cover crops and soil type41:06 Can trees increase the risk of disease?47:13 Financial sustainability: investing in trees in vineyards57:30 Do trees create obstacles for mechanization?01:00:26 The myth of copper accumulation01:02:59 What trees would Enrico have planted if he’d had this knowledge from the beginning?01:04:20 Why did Stefano choose agroforestry?As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. | — | ||||||
| 12/28/25 | Wine Pros Discuss & Taste: BORDEAUX vs BURGUNDY (with Andrew Jefford & Aigars Nords) | I sat down with Andrew Jefford (wine writer & columnist) and Aigards Nords (organizer of @RigaWineChampagne ) to discuss one of wine’s great rivalries: Bordeaux vs. Burgundy. We talk why these regions are so often compared, what really separates them in the glass, and how ideas like terroir vs. estate shape the way we talk about them. We also look at the bigger forces behind the bottles - pricing and value, shifting consumer demand vs. wine-list trends and what might be next for both regions.Be sure to check out Andrew Jefford's latest book 📕 Drinking with the Valkyries: https://amzn.to/45mGBOGI highly recommend visiting one of the Riga Wine & Champagne events, organized by Aigars Nords in Riga each year.

| 11/26/25 | Wine Faults: The Truth Behind “Bad Bottles” with Sietze Wijma | In this episode of the No Sediment Wine Podcast, I sit down with Sietze Wijma, a wine educator specializing in flavor chemistry, to discuss wine faults - how common they are, how to spot them, and the fine line between a true fault and a harmless flaw.
