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 history of the Champagne district of France is storied. The romance of the beverage and the cultural impact is even more influential in our lives. Piper Heidsieck is in the middle of this history and we had the lead winemaker in the house to talk all things Champagne. Emilien Boutillat stopped in to chat about the district, the winery, the philosophy, and the methods at this fabled winery.

Have a listen to gain a new appreciation of Champagne and sparkling wine as a whole.
