    Napa Valley | Master Sommeliers Top Wines from California

    In this episode of Got Somme, we journey through the rolling hills of Napa Valley to explore the world of Diamond Creek wines. Your hosts Angus and Carlos uncork the history and flavour profile of aged Cabernet Sauvignon, sip through the 1995 and 1996 vintages, and dissect how Napa’s unique terroir stacks up against global giants like Bordeaux and Margaret River. From wine economics to the Paris Judgment of 1976, this one’s a full-bodied conversation about what makes Napa, and California more broadly, central to wine education and the sommelier world.

Napa’s American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) offer an incredible diversity of terrain and taste. Aged wines can become difficult to distinguish, often looking and tasting remarkably similar.  Napa's terroir—mountains, valleys, and microclimates—shapes its wine characteristics in distinct ways. When compared to regions like Bordeaux and Margaret River, Napa Cabernet reveals unique stylistic differences. The Judgment of Paris (1976) proved California wines could rival—and surpass—France. High land and production costs drive Napa’s premium wine pricing, creating a gap in mid-range offerings compared to countries like Australia. California is pivotal in the global wine education space and sommelier training.   Episode Chapters 00:00 – Introduction to Diamond Creek Wines 03:00 – Exploring Napa Valley’s Wine Regions 05:58 – Tasting the 1995 and 1996 Vintages 08:57 – Comparing Global Cabernet Regions 12:00 – The Economics of Wine Pricing 13:50 – The Importance of California in Wine Education This podcast proudly presented by Grays.com: https://www.grays.com/search/wine-and-more?tab=items See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  3. The Truth: How Bottle Size Impacts Wine Aging (Same Vintage, Same Producer)

    14 DE MAI.

    The Truth: How Bottle Size Impacts Wine Aging (Same Vintage, Same Producer)

    In this episode of the podcast, hosts Angus O'Loughlin and Master Sommelier Carlos Santos are here to demystify the impact of wine bottle sizes—particularly the demi bottle (375ml) versus the standard bottle (750ml)—on the aging process, wine quality, and flavour profile. They conduct a blind tasting of the 2005 Lake's Folly Cabernet Sauvignon, uncovering how smaller bottles age differently and why larger bottles may enhance longevity. Carlos also shares practical insights for wine tasting, restaurant selections, and solo drinking. Plus, stay tuned for an important announcement about the show’s new release schedule. Sponsors: - RIEDEL Veritas Cabernet: https://www.riedel.com/en-au/shop/veritas/cabernet-merlot-644900098  - Grays.com Buy the wine, drink the wine where we get ours:  https://www.grays.com/search/wine Socials: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@gotsommepodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gotsomme BIG Thanks to: Paul (who we pulled in from the office) from www.eatplay.com.au  Key Takeaways: A demi bottle (375ml) is perfect for solo wine drinkers or sampling multiple wines in one sitting. The aging process is faster in smaller bottles due to greater oxygen exposure. Larger bottles, like magnums, promote slower aging. Screw caps offer more consistent aging than traditional corks. Blind tastings help isolate the effects of bottle size on Cabernet taste. Storage conditions are crucial for maintaining wine quality. The 2005 Lake's Folly Cabernet demonstrates how bottle size alters flavour over time. Consider food pairings when selecting wine and bottle size. The podcast now drops fresh episodes every Thursday.

The right bank of Bordeaux is home to smaller, artisan producers. Saint-Émilion boasts over 2,000 years of continuous winemaking history. Figeac's gravel-rich terroir makes it ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2011 vintage of Château Figeac is underrated and offers excellent value.
