On this week’s podcast, join us as we travel to Verona to speak with Alessandro Pasqua, family member and president of Pasqua, USA, as the family celebrates its 100th year of making wine in the Veneto region of northern Italy. Bernard Retornaz, executive advisor at Louis Latour, expresses his deep appreciation for Burgundy’s winemaking heritage, which continues to shape the success of Louis Latour and build a legacy in the world of fine wine. In July 2025, Bernard retired as president and now acts as an executive advisor to the board and Louis Latour’s brand ambassador. Then, we head to the South Okanagan to reconnect with Michael Kullman, winemaker and general manager of Osoyoos Larose, to discuss the Le Grand Vin 2022 and Petales 2022. We also catch up with Dan Wright, winemaker at Unsworth Vineyards, and Chris Turyk, sales and marketing director at Unsworth Vineyards in the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island, to talk about their exciting new facility, explore the unique characteristics of the terroir, and learn how Unsworth practices regenerative and sustainable farming in Cowichan.
