Zoom virtual tastings are common in this period of our history and, likely you’ll see these events continue once we get the “all clear.” I recently enjoyed such a tasting with Nathan Carlson and Kevin Bargetto of Center of Effort winery near San Luis Obispo. Without a doubt enjoying wines with the makers, adds to the pleasure. I spoke with Nathen and Kevin by phone a couple weeks ago to learn more about this interesting wine and winery.

You can hear Nathan on our Vino Lingo segment defining the term “Dodine.”

Our Vino Lingo Video segment gives you the meaning of wine terms directly from the winemakers themselves. This week we feature Tom Fitzpatrick, Winemaker at Alloro Vineyard, Willamette Valley, Oregon.

Growing up in Carmel, California, Nicole Hitchcock was highly influenced by the power of food and wine when it comes together. Coming from that part of the world, it’s no wonder she became a winemaker. Nicole is winemaker at J Vineyards & Winery in Sonoma well known for still wine as well as sparkling. Her enthusiasm is contagious and her passion is apparent. The thing is, the world can be a very happy place by drinking more sparkling wine, don’t you think?
