Wine Makers Show: the wine podcast

Forget everything you think you know about California wine. Pour yourself a glass, settle in, and let Christopher Beros, Asia Director of the California Wine Institute, take you from the fog-cooled vineyards of Napa and Sonoma all the way to the booming wine bars of Southeast Asia. Recorded live at Vinexpo Hong Kong, this conversation crackles with the energy of a region that refuses to sit still.Christopher trades finance for wine, builds an import business in mainland China, then spends a decade championing California across Greater China and Southeast Asia. Along the way he unpacks the 154 AVAs that make up the most diverse wine state on earth, retells the Judgment of Paris with an insider's eye, and explains why California's "no rules" philosophy turns winemakers loose to experiment.Then we open the bottles. Four Chardonnays, all from Carneros, all wildly different. Tune in for a masterclass in why California is far more than big oaky whites, and why Asia's most curious drinkers are falling for it.▬▬ 🎁 GIFTS 🎁 ▬▬📚 The Wines of California, by Elaine Chukan Brown📚 The Wine Bible, by Karen MacNeil🍇 Learn more about California Wines🇭🇰 More details about the California Wine Month in Hong Kong & Macau🍷 The wines we tasted:Château Montelena Chardonnay 2023Rombauer Chardonnay 2024Hyde de Villaine (HdV) De La Guerra Chardonnay 2023The Prisoner Wine Company The Prisoner Chardonnay 2021🎁 Get your wine essentials on our shop: a curated selection of wine accessories, posters and much more🗺️ Get the best Wine Map of the Bordeaux region: as information as decorative▬▬ ⭐️ ABOUT ⭐️ ▬▬My name is Antoine, and I’ve been passionate about wine for several years.

Is Saint-Émilion already what it needs to be, or is its future still being written? For Valérie Befve, the answer is clear: Bordeaux must keep building, adapting, and rethinking itself to remain at the forefront of fine wine. As CEO of Château Dassault, the Grand Cru Classé owned by the Dassault family since 1955, she is actively shaping what the next chapter of the region will look like.Over the course of our conversation, Valérie traces her unusual path from running her own family winery to leading one of the largest estates in Saint-Émilion. We dig into the singular Saint-Émilion classification that makes every estate re-sit an exam every ten years, the gulf between north and south-facing terroirs, and how the region is adapting to a tougher market.From hospitality and wine tourism to grape-variety choices made for a warming climate, this is a clear-eyed case for why Bordeaux is anything but finished, and why its best value-for-money wines might be the smartest bottles to put in your cellar right now.▬▬ 🎁 GIFTS 🎁 ▬▬📚 Vigneronne, by Laure Gasparotto🍇 Dassault Wine Estates🏆 Understand everything about Bordeaux classifications in a short video🎁 Get your wine essentials on our shop: a curated selection of wine accessories, posters and much more🗺️ Get the best Wine Map of the Bordeaux region: as information as decorative▬▬ ⭐️ ABOUT ⭐️ ▬▬My name is Antoine, and I’ve been passionate about wine for several years.
