This week's podcast spotlights Óscar Salas, winemaker at Viña Santa Rita—a winery established in 1880 by Don Domingo Fernández Concha, who introduced top-tier French grape varieties to Maipo Valley's fertile soils. Salas presents a new label featuring the Alto Maipo Cabernet Sauvignon. Joining him is Jean-Marc Enixon, Director of Winemaking at Phantom Creek Estates, who will recommend wines for the holiday season, including the 2022 Small Lot Evernden Riesling and Phantom Creek's 2022 Estate Cabernet Franc. The show also offers plenty of festive ideas for experiencing downtown Vancouver, with insights from Darcy Hagan, Director of Weddings and Luxury Events at Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, and Nicholas Hall, Food and Beverage Director. Lastly, Erni Loosen, owner of Germany's renowned Dr. Loosen winery in the Moselle Valley, shares his deep knowledge and lifelong passion for Riesling—a tradition the Loosen family has nurtured in the Mosel region for more than 200 years.
