Austrian Whites (free preview of S1 by Christy Canterbury - Master of Wine & Andreas Larsson - World's Best Sommelier 2007)

Austria makes some of the greatest dry white wines on the planet, both in terms of value and overall quality. The Danube River going through the north-eastern part of the country provides ideal conditions for the rock star white grape varieties Grüner Veltliner and Riesling. You will learn to train your palate and all about the Austrian wine regulations, one of the strictest wine laws in the world and be surprised about two wine and food pairings. To better understand the blind tastings in this episode try to taste a good Grüner Veltliner and Riesling from Austria.


Old Old World

The story of winemaking is very old. Research is still ongoing but the Caucasus and Near East seem to be the cradle of wine making, trading and culture. We can’t drink these old wines anymore, but some of these countries still produce wine in a very traditional way. We’ll visit Georgia, Armenia, Lebanon and Greece, where we’ll guide you through the history of wine and explain the different methods of winemaking. These wines are becoming more and more accessible and they can really open up your idea of what wine is. They are absolutely different from anything you had before, so be adventurous!


The Northern Rhône

In the Northern Rhône, it’s all about Syrah. Hermitage is the most famous appellation and produces one of France’s most valued wines. Perfumed and sumptuous white wines made from Viognier can be found in the appellation of Condrieu, while other white wines in the region are made from Roussanne and Marsanne. In our experiment we’ll learn you tricks how to detect aromas in alcoholic beverages. Prizes for Northern Rhône Valley wines can be high. For more affordable wines look for less prestigious appellations or less famous producers to get an idea of the terroir and taste of the grape variety.


Northern Portugal

The northern part of Portugal is most famous for its fortified wine Port, and we’ll explain the making of the different styles Ruby and Tawny Port in our experiment. Portugal is a treasure trove of indigenous grape varieties. We’ll visit Vinho Verde, the Douro and Dão, where a new generation of winemakers is using these grapes to create authentic quality still and dry wines which are age worthy too. Since there are so many native varieties and they can be blended in different ways, we recommend trying wines from all the regions discussed, to discover their unique taste. To get a better understanding of the different styles of Port, we also recommend doing a tasting of Port wines.


Rioja

Rioja’s vineyards are situated along the Ebro River and Tempranillo is the most important grape variety. But the wines made from it come in so many different styles, both varietal and blends, that no two Rioja’s are ever the same. Mazuelo, Graciano and Garnacha are other grape varieties we’ll highlight and in our experiment, we explain how altitude and exposure affect the grapes. Since there are so many different styles and blends, single variety and single vineyard wines, we recommend trying lots of them to understand the different flavours. Ask for a range of different example is a good wineshop and taste them blind.


Sweet Wines

Sweet wines can be made in several ways, and we’ll discuss the different methods that are used to make sweet wines. The real challenge is always for winemakers to create the perfect balance between sugar and acidity, and when this happens these wines can last for decades. In our experiment we’ll give insight on pairing these wines with food. We recommend trying all the different methods discussed and it is great fun to discover these wines and what food could go well with them.


Oregon & Washington

Oregon and Washington are divided by the great Colombia river and it’s this river, and its tributaries that provide many ideal locations to plant vines. Oregon is best known for Pinot Noir, while Washington is harder to pin down to just one variety, as it produces quality wines from many, mostly French, grapes. In our experiment we’ll talk about canopy management. We recommend trying these wines next to their European counterparts to get a better idea of their individual characteristics and their different aromas and flavors.
