On this week's show, we have more from the floor of the 47th annual Vancouver International Wine Festival as we speak with Luigi di Majo, owner of Di Majo Norante. We're venturing off the beaten path—down to Molise, one of Italy's smallest and least-known regions, yet one that quietly produces some of the country's most honest, terroir-driven wines. Then, we head to northeastern Italy, to the Veneto region, to visit a family whose name has been synonymous with Prosecco for generations. Anna Spinato, owner of Spinato Wines, joins us to discuss two wines that showcase both sides of modern Veneto: a vibrant Prosecco Rosé DOC and a fresh, food-friendly Merlot. Our next guest takes us to Alsace, where aromatic whites and serious sparkling wines often overdeliver for the price. Mariélène Auclair, Export Manager, Pfaffenheim, joins us to explore the world of Alsace wines. Plus, we talk about bubbles and Pinot Noir, two wines that seem perfectly suited to British Columbia vineyards. Our guest is Andrew Young, General Manager at Stoneboat Vineyards, and we're highlighting their Grand Piano Brut VQA NV and the Reserve Pinot Noir 2023.
