Wine Talks with Paul K.
Wine Talks with Paul K.
All you knew about wine is about to bust wide open….we are going to talk about what really happens in the wine business and I’m taking no prisoners... I am your host Paul Kalemkiarian and as the 2nd generation owner of the Original Wine of the Month Club, I sold 17,000,000 bottles of wine and tasted somewhere north of 100,000 wines. And what I learned is that wine is about the story; the story can't be that I bought this wine on the internet for 5 bucks. Join me as we peel back the real stories behind the wine you are tasting. How can Groupon sell 12 bottles for $60 and the wines be good? How do you start a winery anyway and lose money? And is a screwcap really better than a cork? Sometimes I have to pick a wine at the store by the label and the price...and I get screwed. Subscribe now and prepare to be enlightened.

A winemaking Master Sommelier. Meet Emmanuel Kemiji

A winemaking Master Sommelier. Meet Emmanuel Kemiji

Emmanuel is one of the most interesting gentlemen in the wine industry. Besides being one of the early American Master Sommeliers ever bestowed the accolade, he makes wine, beer, and not nitro brew coffee.  I have always loved his Clos Pessarra...

Emmanuel is one of the most interesting gentlemen in the wine industry. Besides being one of the early American Master Sommeliers ever bestowed the accolade, he makes wine, beer, and not nitro brew coffee.

I have always loved his Clos Pessarra wines from Priorat Spain, but now he brings me his Miura beer and starts to talk about his nitro brew coffee...always looking for opportunities.

Last week he stopped in to tout his latest accomplishments and as he is telling the stories I', "stop, let's do this as a podcast."

We could have gone on for hours.

Have a listen.
