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.

He makes wine with his sister! Who could? Meet Marco Bonfante

He makes wine with his sister! Who could? Meet Marco Bonfante

Here is a family affair if there was ever one.

You will hear a great discussion of the differences in philosophy and wines throughout Italy. I am a huge fan of the Bonfante wines and was thrilled to have Marco Bonfante in the house to tell us of the generations of his family in the wine trade.

Wine and food are naturals and Marco does a great job laying out the foods and wines of north west Italy.

On his website he quotes Salvador Dali "Real connoiseurs don't drink wine: they taste secrets." We probe that thought ...what are those secrets.

He as a fascination with making wines of elegance...in other words, wines with seamless transitions and supple character.

Have a listen to Marco Bonfante.
