A few things to accompany the latest podcast and article — the cover to “Out To Lunch,” @winefolly’s fantastic visual rendering of German wine laws, and some steeeeep slopes in the Mosel, and a close up of @immichbatterieberg’s delightful labels.
Find the article, “Tension: Riesling meets Eric Dolphy” and the podcast at the link in bio. 😀

It has been brought to my attention that it’s #nationalorangewineday — I decided to seize the opportunity/excuse to have a glass at a favorite Santa Barbara haunt, @satellitesb where all this space, wine and food converge.

Sources drop from the latest podcast (which you can find linked in the bio!) the album of the month and of course the wine, plus two amazing articles: one by Alex Maltman on GuildSomm, and another by Saul Scott in the American Quarterly. Gave me LOTS to think and talk on!

Happy #internationalpodcastday from the Jazz & Jui

Happy #internationalpodcastday from the Jazz & Juice studio - where a cup of insanely strong earl grey is the right stuff to get talking about Syrah and Charles Mingus, wildness and freedom this month - come join the mailing list in the bio to get the latest episode first!

I’ve never tasted pre-fermentation grape juice before — this was a real treat on our recent @twonoteswine visit to @dierberg_starlane in Santa Barbara. Tyler Thomas, an incredible winemaker, had us taste different grape juices and we got to taste the acid/sugar balance that works best before the juice becomes wine. Fascinating.
Also, I was not able to blind identify the grape based on the juice (and luckily apparently most people can’t!) 😅
Picture #2 - stems after, you guessed it, destemming…we got to help sort some grapes and thankfully didn’t encounter any bees (a common hazard 🐝)

For the latest podcast, I got to spend some time with what it means to have low yields (and linked that up with the fruits of Sonny Rollins’ sabbaticals.) I came to appreciate the discipline of restraint in a new way.
Here, ‘green harvesting’ in progress. When you have the discipline to cut off fruit this beautiful, the ultimate harvest is sure to be spectacular — and limited.
Listen at the bio to the latest episode for 17 minutes on Sonny, Chianti Classico and more. 🎷 🍷

This month’s article is up — “Restraint: Chianti Classico meets Sonny Rollins.” Time to talk about yields, aging, bridge sabbaticals and more. And of course, all ideas flowed better with the polish and intensity of @candialle_panzano’s fantastic Chianti Classico 2013.
