    Chip intended for us to enjoy a Southern Rhone blend from Anne Pichon this show, and we did! We also had some leftover Elena Walch 2020 Pinot Grigio from our latest Chicago Wine Report. Delightful stuff. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/no-chalice/support

  • German Naturals | The Electric Chardonnay Acid Test & In der Luft

    German Naturals | The Electric Chardonnay Acid Test & In der Luft
    Jun 13 2022
    Chip & Lainie tried out some fantastic wines by two of Germany's best "natural" winemakers: The Brand Bros and Jochen Beurer. We've tried wines by both winemakers before and loved them. These two wines were no exception. Tip: The In der Luft improves with about 30 minutes of airing. Don't decant. Just open the bottle, put it in a chiller and let it open up a bit. It's worth the wait! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/no-chalice/support

    Elevated Porch Pounders: Caruso & Minini Catarratto & Mary Taylor Cabrerisse
    May 14 2022
    Lainie and Chip check out two "elevated" porch pounders: Light bodied, quaffable wines that are just a wee bit more elegant than what comes out of boxes and (most) jugs. 
    Mary Taylor Cabrerisse 2020
    and
    Caruso & Minini Catarratto 2020
    Both wines were purchased at the suggestion of Tristain, wine buyer for Augusta Food & Wine in Chicago's Lincoln Square neighborhood. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/no-chalice/support

  • USA Vs. France: Muscadet

    USA Vs. France: Muscadet
    Apr 30 2022
    Chip & Lainie decide that it is time to check out Muscadet (aka "Melon de Bourgogne" or just "Melon"). Lainie LOVES to compare so-called "New World" vs. "Old World" wines, so this week it was Bow & Arrow Johan Vineyard Melon 2020 and Jo Landron La Louvetrie Muscadet-Sèvre et Maine 2019. Both were purchased from The Noble Grape here in Chicago. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/no-chalice/support
