I sat down with Andrew Jefford (wine writer & columnist) and Aigards Nords (organizer of @RigaWineChampagne ) to discuss one of wine’s great rivalries: Bordeaux vs. Burgundy. We talk why these regions are so often compared, what really separates them in the glass, and how ideas like terroir vs. estate shape the way we talk about them. We also look at the bigger forces behind the bottles - pricing and value, shifting consumer demand vs. wine-list trends and what might be next for both regions.Be sure to check out Andrew Jefford's latest book 📕 Drinking with the Valkyries: https://amzn.to/45mGBOGI highly recommend visiting one of the Riga Wine & Champagne events, organized by Aigars Nords in Riga each year.

In this episode of the No Sediment Wine Podcast, I sit down with Sietze Wijma, a wine educator specializing in flavor chemistry, to discuss wine faults - how common they are, how to spot them, and the fine line between a true fault and a harmless flaw. We discuss why professionals notice different things than consumers, what causes wines to go “off” in the vineyard versus the winery, and why faulty bottles still happen even when prevention is possible.

In this episode of the No Sediment Wine Podcast, I sit down with Pauline Vicard, CEO and Co-Founder of ARENI Global, to explore the future of wine education and the skills the industry truly needs. We talk about what inspired Pauline to write a white paper on wine education, the balance between knowledge and practical skills, and why some areas of the wine world struggle to adapt. Pauline also shares her thoughts on how curriculums could evolve, what skills will matter most in the coming years, and whether professionals are giving consumers the information they actually want.Be sure to check out the great work Pauline Vicard and @areniglobal868 are doing by visiting their website https://areni.global.
