The Next Generation of Mondavi Wine! | Sentium Sauvignon Blanc Review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What makes a Sauvignon Blanc worth $75? Brian Mondavi Borger returns to Stop Wasting Your Wine with the 2024 Sentium, a Sauvignon Blanc led blend from the fourth generation of the Mondavi family. We taste it together and explore why winemaker Chiara Mondavi looked beyond Napa to old vineyards in Mendocino.

Taking the Friction Out of Wine | Los Cuernos Canned Wine Interview (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Did the wine industry push away a generation of drinkers by making wine too expensive, intimidating, and inconvenient? This week, we sit down with Los Cuernos founders Zeke Blattler and Cory Assink to discuss why they believe wine has a consumer trial problem and how they plan to fix it. Their solution is premium California wine served in single portion cans and kegs, designed for places where quality wine is often missing. We taste three wines from the Los Cuernos lineup: Sauvignon Blanc, Spark
Viognier: Back From the Brink! | Yalumba Samuel’s Collection Viognier 2022 Review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Viognier came dangerously close to disappearing. By 1965, only about eight hectares, or roughly 20 acres, remained worldwide.

At around $24, it delivers lime, stone fruit, melon, vanilla, minerality, and a rich texture that keeps evolving in the glass. We explore why growers nearly abandoned Viognier, how

Read excerpt
Tokaji may be famous for dessert wine, but this bottle shows a completely different side of Hungary’s historic wine region. This week, we taste the 2020 Préselő Tokaji Furmint, a bone-dry white packed with sharp acidity, green apple, citrus, minerality, and a petrol note that transforms as the wine opens. We explore why dry Furmint has struggled to escape Tokaji’s sweet reputation and whether it could follow Riesling’s path from misunderstood grape to white-wine favorite. At around $30, can this
Has Albariño Found a Second Home in Uruguay? | Bodega Garzón Reserva Albariño Review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Albariño usually means Spain or Portugal. This week, we travel much farther south to see whether the grape has found a legitimate second home in Uruguay. We taste the 2025 Bodega Garzón Reserva Albariño, a coastal white wine packed with grapefruit, green apple, floral aromas, bright acidity, and a salty finish. Does Uruguay bring something new to the grape, or has Bodega Garzón recreated the Spanish Albariño experience for around $20? We also explore why Uruguay’s Atlantic coast suits Albariño,
