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.

The famed Burgundy house, Maison Louis Jadot became enamoured with the idea to start operations in Oregon (considered prince Pinot Noir and Chardonnay land). Since 1988, McMinnville college has been playing host to the International Pinot Noir Festival (we attended in 1989).

In those days, there were only a handful of wineries and driving the wine trail in the Williamette Valley, you would find sporadic at best, vineyards to visit. Now, the industry is flourishing and the Resonance Vineyard is part of that success.

It takes a certain passionate person to up root a family to come to the US to make wine. You must be all-in and ready to make a difference to the wine world. Guillaume Large is one of these types.

Hear him here.
