Podcast 786 – Giacomo Pondini, Director Consorzio dell’Asti DOCG, Italy

March 26, 2026by Ray FisterNo Comments

Way back in 2017 I was able to do a press visit to Piedmont, Italy to learn more about Asti Spumante and Moscato d’Asti. One of our stops included the DOCG to see how this process works. Today I have Giacomo Pondini, Director, Consorzio dell’Asti DOCG on the phone to give us a bit more of a background about the work of the DOCG. These wines are popular world wide but can be a bit confusing. Here, we can set the record straight.

Podcast 785 – Steve Contursi, Co-Owner, Arrow & Branch, Coombsville AVA, Napa Valley

March 23, 2026by Ray FisterNo Comments

Steve Contursi and his wife Seanne are owners of Arrow & Branch and now produce their wine in almost new facility in the Oak Knoll section of Napa Valley. Steve and I met up in the barrel room which accounts for the strong echo in the recording, but are soon adding a new tasting space. It was way back in October of 2016 that I last produced an Arrow & Branch podcast so it was about time to get caught up. We laughed, talked about rare coins, laughed some more and even talked about wine.

You can hear Steve on our Vino Lingo segment defining the term “Mind Your Business”
