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.

Riedel, The Wine Glass Company, is synergistic with fine wine and the proper glassware to enhance the experience. Wine is experiential and the glass matters. Listen to the passion of Maximilian Riedel, 11th generation glass maker and CEO of Riedel Glassware.

The glass matters, and he will tell you why. It is fairly obvious to sense that drinking a fine wine from a plastic amber tumbler in a diner can't match the experience of tasting a wine in fine Austrian crystal in a fine restaurant. It seems as though there would be two different wines when tasting side by side. Hear why this is and get it from the man himself.

Riedel was founded in 1756, 11 generations ago, to create fine glassware. Today, Riedel is the leading authority on varietal specific glassware. The story is fascinating.
