Ep. 2296 Juliana Colangelo interviews Gary Fisch and Scott Ades | Masterclass US Wine Market

Welcome to Episode 1512 in which host Victoria Cece interviews Natalino Colantonio this week on The Next Generation. The Next Generation where Victoria Cece interviews young Italian wine people shaking up the wine scene. More about the guest Natalino was a manager and had a dream of making wine. "It's just one of the many challenges that have characterized my life." In the midst of a virtuous career, he decided to devote himself to his greatest passion, wine. Studies, meetings with producers and sincere friendships began; Eventually his trolley became the tractor and his laptop the vineyard shears. Passionate about music, creativity, and the romance of the countryside. Andrea and Nat met in 2018 through introductions made by a mutual friend during an evening at a pub. They told each other about the past, dreams, ambitions and passions. Inevitably the subject of wine comes up and their strong understanding leads them to immediately embark on a wine path together. And so, a few weeks later, they founded Bossanova, starting from that small plot of just over an acre that Andrea's grandfather planted in the 1970s. From that moment everything changed, from one note, a symphony was born, constantly evolving. Connect: Website: www.vinibossanova.com/ More about the host: Victoria Cece is a food and beverage storyteller whose curiosity is somewhere deep in a bowl of pasta or a bottle of wine. A fool for history, you can find her reading up about ancient grape varietals or wandering around a little Italian town eating everything in sight, under her alias Slutti Spaghetti.

Welcome to Episode 1510 on another episode of “On The Road Edition”, hosted by Stevie Kim. Today we are bringing you a throwback (the first of several to come) to Stevie’s conversation series “Wonderful Women in Wine” recorded on instalive during the pandemic. In this episode Stevie sits down with Dorli Muhr. More about today’s guest Dorli Muhr – who discovered her enthusiasm for wine during university studies training as an interpreter (French & Spanish) – founded an agency for marketing and PR work in 1991 called Wine&Partners and developed a highly specialised business for communications involving wine, gourmet products and the culinary world. The desire to have her own wine production – which burned in the blood of farmers’ daughter Dorli – led ultimately to her replanting the fallow parcels on the Spitzerberg in 1995. Together with her then-husband Dirk van der Niepoort, Dorli Muhr recommenced wine production in 2002. Seeking perfection and maximum finesse, she began to acquire other parcels of vines to complement the family patch, so that the Weingut Muhr-van der Niepoort grew continually each year, in both quantity and quality. Ten years after Muhr and Niepoort ended their marriage, they finally concluded their business relationship. Dorli Muhr took over Dirk Niepoort’s holdings, and is carrying on with the estate under her name alone. At the same time, she was able to acquire a small, old house in Prellenkirchen and move her business headquarters there. Together with her daughter Anna, she is returning to the same village where Anna’s great-grandmother spent her childhood and teenage years.
