We are back in France.... not literally, of course. I wish. But yes, this week we return to France to continue our (six part?) overview of French wine.
We are now east on the German border in Alsace. Aside from being super cute, Alsace also produces some great white wines. Tune in to learn more!

Ep 18: Dad Took the Sommelier Test
Wednesday Feb 07, 2018
Wednesday Feb 07, 2018
Suggested Pairing: Water, water, water, and more water
The name of the game is THE SHOW MUST GO ON. Even though Madeline is literally suffering from food poisoning before, during, and after this episode..... the DTMAW duo recorded anyways. Yes, there was a moment where she ran away to vomit. Yes, she did edit it out.
Anyways, on a happier note, Matthew took (and passed!) the Level 1 Sommelier Test this week. He gives us the low down on what the test is like, what it takes, ect. Madeline does the other type of wining (ha ha.. get it)... and honestly talks a whole lot less. As usual, it's pretty entertaining.

Ep 17: France's Famous Loire Valley Wines
Wednesday Jan 31, 2018
Wednesday Jan 31, 2018
Suggested pairing: vouvray wine
What an episode! We start our epic road trip through French wine in the Loire Valley! We break down the most important AOCs, and the big grapes in the region. As always, we sneak in a few bargin wines to keep your eyes out for.
Also, my dad realizes he bought the wrong bottle BY MISTAKE halfway through the episode. It is pretty fun to see him so confused and lowkey flustered. My dad is not often epically wrong, so don't miss out on this!

Ep 16: A Series on French Wine, Part 1 - Overview
Wednesday Jan 24, 2018
Wednesday Jan 24, 2018
Suggested pairing: Something from the Loire Valley
My dad couldn't stand the though of craming French wine into one, 35 minute episode... so instead we are doing a series! This episode will provide important overview information on French Wine and general information on how wine regions are designated in France.
Over the next three episodes, we will be going over six important AOC regions.
If you have any specific French wine questions.... now is the time to ask! dadteachesmeaboutwine@gmail.com, or on instagram: @dadteachesmeaboutwine.
Can't wait to go on this trip to France w/ u!

The week we discuss all the reasons you should be drinking sherry! Yeah, Sherry! The beverage aunt marge drinks in Harry Potter before she gets blown up.
As it turns out, this beverage is not only drinkable.... but also quite tasty and affordable.

Wednesday Jan 03, 2018
Suggested pairing: Rioja
That blog post I mention at the end: https://www.hudin.com/blog/going-to-barcelona-not-barthelona/
On this week's episode: we visit Spain, talk about the basics of Spanish wine, ponder if sherry is going to make a comback, debate if my puffy coat is too loud in the microphone, wonder if calling it "Barthelona" is offensive, as well as figuring out where to buy discount champagne flutes, and SO MUCH MORE!

Ep 13: Drinking $1500 of Old Wine
Wednesday Dec 20, 2017
Wednesday Dec 20, 2017
Suggested pairing: please don't spend 1k on a bottle of wine just for this podcast...
Drinking two month worth rent of wine (ugh, it hurts)
What a special edisode we have this week! We have our first podcast guest (Joe), and we collectively drink $1500 worth of wine.... and talk about it.
What makes a 35 year old wine worth $1000? And what does a wine taste like when it has been cooped up in a bottle for that long? How to do prepare it? What do you serve it with? How do you describe the taste.
These issues - and more! - are what we tackle on this weeks epsiode. Plus it is fun to have another voice in the mix (Joe)!
