How do Luke's The Sipster's Pocket Guides differ from other wine guides?

Key Takeaways

I love that Luke likes to pair wines to moods rather than simply food. I think our emotional state and occasion are often far better predictors of a great match than whether your asparagus was oven-roasted or steamed. I especially like his description of a lustful wine.

Luke continues to share surprising insights about British Columbia's wine regions and wines. I'm intrigued with the way Golden Mile Bench wines retain their acidity and structure, and am motivated to visit that area again.

I enjoyed his notion that there are times when you can tell that the wine really likes you.

I found her concept of proactive farming as it relates to growing vines for wine fascinating.

She also has an interesting take on wine tourism's impact on the environment.

Anna provides an excellent global view of wine's impact on the environment rather than just focusing narrowly or organic winemaking or sustainability.

She gave us a clear definition on the differences between sustainable and organic winemaking. I think most people might assume that wine made organically is also farmed sustainably, but that's not always the case.

She also presents clear and compelling facts such as that 40-50% of the emissions from a winery operation come from packaging and distribution alone.

I agree that part of what helps con artists get away with what they do is that people don't want to admit they have been duped. That's pride and human nature.

I was intrigued by the creative but illegal ingredients that have been added to wine to cut costs and boost profits. There's a fine line between what's adulteration and what isn't.

254: New Australian Wines & Regions + Grenache's Resurgence with Jane Lopes, Author of How to Drink Australian Oct 11, 2023

Show notes

Are you curious about new Australian wine styles and regions? Why is Grenache experiencing a resurgence in Australia right now? What was the most devastating part of several Court of Master Sommelier scandals?

In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with sommelier and author Jane Lopes.

You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks

Giveaway

Two of you are going to be the lucky recipients of a copy of Jane Lopes' books. One of you will win Vignette: Stories Of Life And Wine In 100 Bottles, and another will win How To Drink Australian. To enter, email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and tell me that you'd like to win a copy. I'll choose three people randomly from those who contact me. Good luck!

Highlights

What's it like to experience the journey of becoming a Master Sommelier?

Do we need more outlets for education in the wine industry?

What was it like being a woman experiencing the unfair and sexist consequences of several Master Sommelier scandals?

How would the industry benefit from more transparency and an overhaul of the Court of Master Sommeliers certification process?

How is How To Drink Australian different from other books about Australian wine?

What was the motivation behind writing How To Drink Australian?

What are some of the unique characteristics of Australian wine and wine regions?

Why is Grenache experiencing a resurgence in Australia right now?

What's the tasting experience like for Ngeringa 2018 Summit Vineyard Chardonnay and Bird on a Wire 2015 Syrah?

Why should you try a wider range of Australian wine?

Key Takeaways

I loved Jane's fresh take on new Australian wine styles and regions. I knew that Australia has plenty of warm regions and a number of cool areas, but I didn't realize it also has some of the coldest wine regions in the world.

Jane has put Australian grenache on my radar. I love this grape and wine from the Rhone and am keen to do more side-by-side comparison tastings with those from Australia.

The Court of Master Sommelier exam scandal had a pretty devastating impact on candidates like Jane, who had studied for years and invested thousands of dollars to prepare for it only to have that hard-earned recognition taken away. Coupled with Master Sommelier sexual harassment scandal, I hope that serious reforms are underway with the organization.

Key Takeaways

Working in a restaurant is incredibly grueling both physically and emotionally. Thos in it are prime to excessive drinking and that's why the hospitality industry, which includes both restaurants and wineries, has the highest rate of substance abuse among any profession.

Jane makes some excellent points about why it's hard to get a good wine education, both in terms of cost and the variety of wines you need to taste, especially if you want to make it your profession.

I love her approach in her first book as an emotional guide to wine to deepen your pleasure in it.
