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

Welcome to Episode 1364; part of our Italian wine interview series set in Dusseldorf, Germany. Today Joy Livingston interviews Elise Rialland of Casale del Giglio. Stevie Kim and her team travelled to Dusseldorf, Germany this March to collaborate with ITA, the Italian Trade Agency. ITA was organizing some incredible Masterclasses featuring the best wines Italy has to offer. Each masterclass was led by the Master Sommelier Eros Teboni (awarded Best Sommelier Worldwide in 2018), and they wanted us there to document the amazing 3 days! Tune-in each Thursday as we bring you the great interviews that unfolded over the course of 3 days. More about today’s winery: Casale del Giglio has always been motivated by the desire to produce top quality, fairly-priced wines in a swathe of land, the Agro Pontino, little known until recently for its viticutural potential. The aim of the experimentation programme, conducted in 1985 on 180 acres of vineyard, has been, and still is, twofold: first to favour those cultivars which, by their nature and through targeted management, have proved to interact most successfully with the soil and climate of the territory; second to rediscover and restore the status of native vines once thought to be obsolete, such as Biancolella di Ponza, Bellone di Anzio, Cesanese di Olevano Romano and Pecorino di Accumoli.

Welcome to Episode 1360 on Italian Wine Podcast, today on Masterclass US Wine Market With Juliana Colangelo she will be interviewing Matthew Kaner. More About today’s guest: Fermented grape juice has allowed me to have a voice within an industry full of characters and strong personalities. I quite enjoy how things smell and taste. In fact, as a kid I wouldn’t eat anything until I smelled it first. Now a 14+ year veteran of the wine world, my humble wine career began at the Wine Cask Wine Store in Santa Barbara, California where I also grew up. Moving to Los Angeles in 2006 brought an opportunity to work at Silverlake Wine, where I worked my way up from holiday help to the manager. In 2009, my close friend Dustin Lancaster came to him with an idea…”I want to open a wine bar and I’ll only do it if you’ll do it with me.” The only acceptable response: “you tell me when and where.” In July of 2010, Los Feliz’s Bar Covell opened with a new spin on wine…ditch the traditional wine list and use your words. Bar Covell has a program of over 150 wines by the glass and the staff instead start a conversation/interaction with each guest to gage what they are in the mood for at that moment. This was just the beginning... I was graciously was named one of the Sommeliers of the Year by Food & Wine Magazine in 2013. In early 2015 with Lancaster and new partner David Gibbs, the trio opened Augustine Wine Bar in Sherman Oaks. Augustine has been named Best Wine Bar in American by Food & Wine Magazine and gets critical acclaim for its Vintage Collection of wines that it makes available by the glass and by the bottle on their in-house chalk boards nightly. In August of 2019 Wine Enthusiast Magazine named me to the 40 Under 40 Tastemakers list for 2019!

Welcome to episode 1359, in which host Victoria Cece interviews Emilia Chunju this week on The Next Generation. The Next Generation where Victoria Cece interviews young Italian wine people shaking up the wine scene. More about today’s guest: Emilia, the founder of Le Yi Cup ASip Wine, is also one of the very few Italian Wine Ambassadors in Taiwan. She has lived in Milan for many years, & because she can’t forget the European life of drinking wine with meals and respecting Italy’s long history and enthusiasm for wine making, she decided to introduce exquisite wineries with professional spirit, introduce these traditional and unique wines to Chinese people, and convey the beauty of Italian vineyards through dinner parties, wine tasting parties, and wine lectures. Adhering to this concept, the founder and her friends had the idea of bringing Italian wine to life. Different from the general concept that wine must be drunk on specific occasions, ASip Wine believes in enjoying a glass of Italian wine in a relaxed way at any time. It allows the overly nervous pace of Taiwan to have a sense of leisure that can be found everywhere in European life. To learn more visit: www.asipwine.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 1357, another episode of “On The Road Edition”, hosted by Stevie Kim. In this episode Stevie is in Cortina and is talking with Alessandro Torcoli More about today’s guest: To what extent Alessandro Torcoli made his passion for wine a profession or was it his profession, that of a journalist, that made him passionate about wine, we cannot know. Instead, it is certain that he is one of the greatest connoisseurs of wine tourism in Italy. His curriculum is public and easily traceable on the web, therefore we will not retrace the stages of his brilliant career here. We at FisarMilano know and appreciate him not only for his professionalism but also for his great availability . During the very sad period of the lockdown he kept us company for an evening leading us by the hand to discover some wines that he presented and described to us with loving passion . On this occasion we were also able to experience the more human side of his character: an affable and very courteous person like him, he then entertained himself to answer some questions that were posed to him, placing his many years of study at our disposal . The firmness and certainty of his answers may have made one think of a certain arrogance, a bit like some people who consider themselves "arrived". For him, however, this is not the case: he recently got back into the game by participating as a "student" in the courses organized by the Institute of Masters of Wine , which can only be accessed after having taken a very difficult exam, aimed at testing the deepest knowledge of the world wine. And while he is taking part in this "course" he directs his magazine Civiltà del Bere which is based in Milan at the Enoluogo wine shop where he can also be met and consulted for some buying advice. On 17 February 2022 he will be a guest again at FisarMilano: on this occasion he will present his new book, Vinology – Tasting course , of which we only know that it is an infographic manual (like the previous Vinology, a visual guide to d' Italy and the world) to learn to taste and to identify the peculiarities of each vine through our senses. Find out more by visiting: www.fisarmilano.org/magazine/2022/0…tutto-rispetto/ More about the host Stevie Kim: Stevie Kim hosts Clubhouse sessions each week (visit Italian Wine Club & Wine Business on Clubhouse), these recorded sessions are then released on the podcast to immortalize them! She often also joins Professor Scienza in his shows to lend a hand keeping our Professor in check! You can also find her taking a hit for the team when she goes “On the Road”, all over the Italian countryside, visiting wineries and interviewing producers, enjoying their best food and wine – all in the name of bringing us great Pods!
