    Wine + Vintages Jan 26, 2023
    Show notes

    Step into my somm brain!! When you grab a wine bottle, one of the signs of its character is its vintage, A.K.A. the year the grapes were harvested. Let’s dive into how weather can change the taste of a wine, what it means when there's no year on a bottle, and why you should not be aging your rosé!

    Recommended wines:

    Kewin Descombes, Beaujolais Cuvée Kéké

    Is there anything Westside Winos co-founder Khalil Kinsey can’t do? With the opening of his new Los Angeles wine bar Offhand Wines, he and I look back on his roots in the skateboarding and fashion world and how his family's massive role in the art world informed his career, taste in wine, and commitment to community.

    Wine Glasses: the Who, the Why, the What Do I Do? Jan 12, 2023
    Show notes

    Is it important to drink specific wines out of certain glasses? Are champagne flutes a myth? When did humans start drinking out of glass? Are there really rules? All of these mysteries and more will be revealed! A nice bottle of wine does deserve a nice glass... but not all glasses are created equal, cost the same, or feel the same. Let’s look back at the OG days of wine glasses — I’m talking metal goblets and the earliest days of glass blowing. But then, we’ll zoom forward and discuss the latest wine-drinking vessel trends from the casual table glass to the super swanky.

    Wine glass recommendations:

    • The crème de la crème is the Zalto wine glass brand — this is what I like to drink out of at home but they are extremely thin and breakable so… maybe don’t get attached!

    Other brands I love:

    • Gabriel-Glas
    • Vintage sets!! I look for mine at thrift stores and use them for parties because if they break it's all good!
    • I love the glasses we use at Jon & Vinny's! You can purchase a set of 6 through our website!

    TINX Jan 05, 2023
    Show notes

    Not only is Tinx dubbed “Tiktok’s big sister,” she’s also dubbed “extremely lovely podcast guest” by me! It was honestly such a joy to talk with Tinx, she is incredibly smart, sensitive and aware-- all of which is super refreshing! I love when women know how they are and what they want! We talk all about the joys of casual dinner parties, the best martinis in the world, and why Tinx always keeps a steak in her freezer.

    Here are the champagnes I told Tinx to keep in her fridge:

    Ruppert-Leroy, Papillon, Blanc de Noirs, Brut Nature, Pinot Noir, 2019

    Michel Gonet, Les 3 Terroirs, Extra Brut, Blanc de Blancs, Chardonnay, 2017

    Featured Wines:

    Benjamin Leroux, Bourgogne, Pinot Noir, 2020

    The History of Champagne Dec 29, 2022
    Show notes

    Champs for my real friends, baby! I am obsessed with Champagne. My whole team is! It's so good and worth the splurge, and so I am here to tell you on this episode that it's a New year, and maybe a new you, but there are still the same old delicious bottles of bubbly! Champagne is a part of the cultural zeitgeist but it hasn’t always been that way. So how did we go from friars transporting bottles of wine on horse-drawn carts to shaking up thousand-dollar bottles of champagne in nightclubs? Let’s talk about it before New Year's Eve so when you head to the store to grab your sparkling wine, you know exactly what to get!

    Grower-producer champagne recommendations:

    Grower-producer champagne refers to a person growing the grapes and then making the champagne from those grapes, a practice that used to be very uncommon in the region. Here are some of my favorite producers, some are linked to wines we carry! Any wines from these producers you can find will be amazing:

    George Laval

    Laherte Freres

    Savart

    Calzals

    Wine + Christmas Dec 22, 2022
    Show notes

    Every December my wine shop is poppin! And for good reason-- Holiday times are flush with gift giving, champagne celebrations and cozy moments drinking fabulous wine with people you love. I celebrate Christmas, so I wanted to talk about the history of wine during holiday times, the best varietals to please your in-laws, bottles to pair with tamales, and an updated take on an old Christmas-time classic: mulled wine.

    Head to the blog at Helen’s Wines for this week’s Cocktail Corner recipe: The Lighter Side of Mulled Wine.

    Wines that I am loving that I mentioned:

    Châteauneuf-du-Pape – My absolute favorite producer is Raya, but it's sold out. I love Chateau du Boursan as well, the balance of the fruit is magical. This Papi is so good and we have it at the shop right now!

    Chateau de la Font du Loup, Le Puy Rolland, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Grenache, 2019

    White Burgundy – There are literally way too many white burgundies that are my faves, but here are my top producers at the moment:

    Benjamin Leroux

    Domaine Roulot

    Athenais de Beru

    Alice & Olivier DeMoor

    Hubert Lamy

    Château La Fleur Garderose – Obsessed with these wines from Bordeaux, they are using minimal intervention and the wines are unfiltered magic. Also, they will definitely entice a classic Bordeaux drinker as well! Sadly, we are sold out of this wine at the shop, but you might be able to find some bottles online!

    I LOVE Micheladas because of Bricia Lopez Dec 15, 2022
    Show notes

    Bricia Lopez and her family own one of the best restaurants in Los Angeles: Guelaguetza! Do you live in LA and haven't been? RUN THERE NOW. Bricia is on a mission to bring Oaxacan food and culture to the masses. Between her family’s delicious restaurant, her packaged mole business, and her michelada mix business — she took the time to sit down and school me on what it means to throw an asada, why mezcal is the bee's knees, whether ice in your beer is acceptable, and why she doesn’t know how to ride a bike. I really admire and love Bricia, she is one of the smartest and most passionate people I know!

    Featured Wine: Ashanta, Embryo II, Ashton Vineyards, Sonoma County, Syrah, 2021
