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.

Wines from Sardegna? Yes, please. Meet Antonella Mancini & Claudio Salvador of Cantina Pedres

Wines from Sardegna? Yes, please. Meet Antonella Mancini & Claudio Salvador of Cantina Pedres

Crazy good wine from Sardinia and neighboring island, Gallura.

The wines of Sardinia have always fascinated me. The savory character from the Mediterranean Sea, the wild varietals and the neighboring islands all combine to create unusual wines of character that cannot be duplicated anywhere on earth.

Antonella Mancini and Claudio Salvador, a husband and wife team, have combined their talents to bring to the US a line up of Sardinian wines that make you stop and think after each taste.

The conversation takes many turns to stitch together an inspiring story of wine from Mediterranean.

I was told when I inked Antonella that she was stunning…and she was, in her wine story telling as well as her Italian good looks.

Have a listen.
