    Agnes I really appreciated how you allowed him to express himself fully. There are so many interviews that the host feels the need to interject at an in-opportune time. He gave us a lot to think about. His analogies and metaphors applies to all wine experiences, because its all personal to the consumer. You did a great job! I hope to see more of these relaxing and teachable podcast.

    @@NoSediment Ooooh it is, don't you worry. You choose your guests well and I'm sure you know that. They're charismatic and they get excited about what they talk about -and that captures any audience. Besides, it's a fact that you're also getting more and more comfortable with interviews over time.

    I made natural "wine" once... the VA could eat through a car door 😅 They weren't wine grapes though. Fun experiment. Corrosive VA...not one iota of flavor or body. 🤪

    @@VektrumSimulacrum yes because minimal intervention means been lazy not doing anything. when in reality it means doing so much more than industrial winemaking, both in vineyard and in a cellar. minimal intervention means not taking away anything from the wine and not adding anything extra and for that, you need to work much harder. there is nothing to argue here, you are throwing phrases you have no idea what they mean.

    let me explain to you what lazy winemaking is. lazy winemaking is, freezing grapes on arrival, killing all living organisms on and inside grapes, than fermenting it with packaged yeast from Lanvin in a temperature controlled stainless tank that has a program to punch skins down. thats lazy winemaking.
