Join Eric, Justin and I as we talk about wine and cigars. So many similarities in how to approach both areas, we delve into some of those in our chat. As co-hosts of their own show, they have a great podcasting style, as they are known to shoot the breeze about all sorts of cigar topics and about life in general. Based in New York, they publish a new show each Friday, with some additional youtube or instagram live content from time to time.
In this episode, we go into cigar culture, wine and cigars and how to pair them, how they got into cigars, and how they got into cigar related content on social media. For them, it was taking the cigar club feel and turning that into an online experience.

Starting the New Year with a 2020 Recap Show. Join us as we discuss the year that was 2020 and how it affected the Friends Of The Vine show. We talk about some of the big topics that hit the wine industry from 2019 and 2020, and what this year (2021) will look like for the show.
I finish the show with some highlight soundbites from a few of my favourite episodes from 2020. Those include my conversations with Brenna Quigley, MS Sabato Sagaria, Bobbie Burgess, Brett Thiessen, Grayson Riordon and Matt Landry.
Thank you to all the loyal listeners who stick by me as the number of episodes last year was less than expected.
I'm looking forward to producing more shows in 2021!!

Randy Ullom and I talk all things Chardonnay. Ever since the acronym ABC came to light 25 years ago in the NY Times, wine drinkers have debated this polarizing grape. We discuss the legacy of the world's most popular grape, and discover what the current wine world thinks on this topic. As well, we talk about Randy's entry into wine back in the 1970's, his degree in viticulture and enology, and he shares some fun stories about how he got the wine bug while skiing in Chile.
Winemaster Randy Ullom and his signature moustache have overseen the production of Kendal Jackson wines since 1997. As the winemaker for the number-one selling Chardonnay in America for 28 years, Randy is an authority on the subject. He’s been making wine since the 1970’s and with Kendall-Jackson for 28 harvests; he has perfected the winemaking techniques that other winemakers have mimicked for years.
Our audio conversation was recorded over Zoom video conferencing with Randy on his cell phone, pulled over in his car somewhere in Mendocino County, California. While his battery died.

Brenna Quigley is a geologist and founder of the Roadside Terroir podcast. In this episode we go into how she got into wine, the natural connection between wine and geology and her love of both, women in the wine world, the wine community, the complicated geological terroir that is Alsace, blind tasting with her friend and mentor Rajat Parr, grapes she couldn't live without, and many many segues. A lot of segues. We also talk about why and how Brenna got into creating her podcast and what she has in mind for future seasons.
Brenna received her Bachelor’s Degree in Aquatic Biology and Geology from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2012, and her Masters in Geology in 2015. Her research focused on geologic mapping and structural geology (how and why rocks deform). She has also worked extensively in the mining industry where she further developed her skills in geologic mapping and interpretation, soil sampling, and geophysical surveying.
Today Brenna works with wine professionals in all areas of the trade, from growers in France to importers and buyers in the US, in order to precisely define the most impactful elements of their terroirs in a relevant and approachable manner. Her work takes her all over the world, from Santa Barbara to Burgundy to Austria.
Our audio conversation was recorded over Zoom video conferencing from her residence in Napa Valley, California.
