Wine For Normal People Radio: Episode 007 Old World v. New World Wines -- What's the Difference?

Have been laid up for the last few days with a disastrous cold -- sorry not to post this sooner!

But here it is:
Episode 007 Old World vs New World Wines - What’s the difference?

This week we gave some shout outs to blog, Twitter, and Facebook friends (and asked you to post your ideas to the Facebook page or in the comments below if you want!). The news was about Younger wine drinkers' preferences and how they influence winemaking -- specifically alcohol content. Here's the link to the article that we discussed: Click Here.

Our main topic was Old World versus New World -- what each means from a geographic and stylistic perspective. We broke down weather, terroir, and what you can expect when you buy a wine from Europe vs. everywhere else (more or less!).

Grape of the week is one of my favorites, and one that gets a super bad rap because most people think it's sweet and cloying: Riesling. I beg you to take another look, because it's so darn food friendly and the dry versions are delicious!

If you're on the fence about listening, this is a big episode. I break out my TRUE heritage and you'll hear me in rare form, speaking in my Long Island accent...not to be missed, as it will provide endless entertainment when you meet me in person someday!!!
