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.

Small Napa winery, large Napa history. Meet winemaker Rich Frederick of Vine Cliff.

Small Napa winery, large Napa history. Meet winemaker Rich Frederick of Vine Cliff.

I sat with Rich Frederick of Vine Cliff to hash his winemaking philosophy.

I could have sworn Proprietress Nell Sweeney walked by when Rich and I were on the mics for Wine Talks. I was going to be a little intimidated had she come in. Rich and I spot of the Sweeney family and the history that surrounds Vine Cliff. Quite fascinating and truly original. Have a listen.
