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.

Taittinger Champagne is synonymous with family. Meet the family with Clovis Taittinger

Taittinger Champagne is synonymous with family. Meet the family with Clovis Taittinger

Clovis Taittinger is pure Champagne. His philosophical approach to life is inspiring.

You will learn the passion and commitment it takes to grow and make Champagne. The world has an expectation of the best wines that come from the famed district. Clovis Taittinger from Champagne Taittinger recently visited Los Angeles and I had the chance to reconnect with him in Hollywood.

After a few minutes, I remembered how he is a very philosophical man whose point of view is rooted in history and sentiment. The winery is owned by his father and run by the sister and brother team of Vitalie and Clovis, Taittinger continues to bestow the romance that Champagne brings to any table.

Have a listen, you will find him quite charming.
