In addition to this re-release of "Whisky, Burns Night, and … Beerhenge?" (Originally Released Jan 28, 2022 ) I give a new, quick introduction to Burns night before treating you to this episode on whisky, in which I discuss: what it is, a little history, how it's produced, distinguishing the styles, and a little silliness (because your host cannot help herself). 

Just the thing for a cold, January in the northern hemisphere on this weird third rock from the sun.

Since we have been all immersed in vino Italiano this season, I thought it would be fun to revisit this episode while I'm , let's just say, out of the cellar this month: Getting Our Grappa On (S10E3)

A deep dive into grappa—the bold Italian spirit made from pomace, with anecdotes on its enduring appeal across centuries .

As summer transitions to harvest season, grappa's rustic, artisanal character resonates with end-of-season flavors.

Originally Released: June 10, 2022

Grappa: Not just for breakfast (you laugh)! This pomace brandy, like many spirits, has ancient roots. With over 130 producers in Italy, some dating back hundreds of years, what is it about this drink made from, oh, I don't know, chunky winemaking leftovers, that is so enchanting and beloved amongst connoisseurs?

Since we're between seasons where we're exploring Italian wine and working our way down Italy's boot, I thought we'd revisit the Rosato episode from way back in Season 1.

Rosato, Italian for rosé wine, it's literally what's in my glass right now. T 

I hope you can find a glass of Italian rosé to help you wind down your summer while we take a lovely stroll back through our archives with "Rosato - Wading through the Italian Pink" - Perfect for warm summer evenings: they pair beautifully with al fresco dining, casual sipping, BBQ and friends.

Originally aired Jun 14, 2019

A quick dip into a couple of favorite rosé styles from Italy known as rosato takes us to the deep pink wines of Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo.

We also discuss Chiaretto (Bardolino) briefly, and check in on the rosé wine market for some figures and finds.

This is a bonus episode created from another project I was working on this month. It's got a little less corkdorkery than the original episode from way back in Season 3, but I've linked it up in case you would like to revisit it, as well as the original sourcing material.

Wine Caves: Dishing the Dirt https://glassinsession.libsyn.com/s3e3-wine-caves-dishing-the-dirt Wine caves aren't just for fancy parties. Some of the most famous caves date back to Roman times and have served mankind honorably through the centuries - for many purposes in addition to storing wine. Why do we care? This episode dishes the dirt on wine caves, by going back millions of years before returning to the current era. This is the who, what, where, when and why of wine caves.

This week I spied Santa Claus ... hanging out in a dumpster. I reflected on how something as cynical as identifying with Santa in a Dumpster can be a source of unexpected joy. 

Bugey-Cerdon, to me, is a holiday entertaining essential because of it fun fizz, sweetness, and its ability to rock everything from charcuterie to Christmas cookes. Oh, and the low alcohol is a bonus!

I hope you enjoy this timely re-relase of this episode on Bugey, a wine region between Jura and Savoie in France, and that you spot the joy in unexpected places. 

We're exploring the early days and styles of sekt: sparkling wine from Austria and Germany.
