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.

She makes wine in the Loire Valley. Brilliant converstaion with Juliette Monmousseau

The chronicles of Bouvet-Labuday are hard to follow but amazing just the same.

This Cremant de Loire house has an amazing history as it is now back in the hands of the original family. This story of wine, family and high finance is intriguing and we could have spoken for hours. Now it is Juliette and her father at the helm as she responded to her calling to come back home and be part of the family business.

It is also a story of the camaraderie in the wine industry and particularly in the sparkling wine industry.

Listen to the trials and tribulation of this famed Chateau and the path Julliette took to land back in the family trade.
