This week on the show, Shane Munn, Winemaker/GM at Martin's Lane Winery in the Okanagan Valley sub-GI of East Kelowna, shares an update on current B.C. releases and explains why and where he searched Oregon for replacement Pinot Noir grapes to make wine in 2024. Still in East Kelowna, we stop by to talk with CedarCreek winemaker Andrés Gálvez Pizarro, who joins us to discuss his journey to the top of winemaking at CedarCreek and what changes, if any, he will make to some of Canada's most northern wines. Next we head offshore to speak with Sam Pfeiffer, owner and director of Whistler Wines in Australia's Barossa Valley. The Pfeiffer family's long association with the Penfolds winery led to a unique gift his father received upon retirement. And finally, we are joined by Frédéric Chaudière, Vigneron at Château Pesquié and Président de l'AOC Ventoux. For fifty years, three generations of the Chaudière family, who own the Château, have worked with the same desire to explore and fully express the terroir of AOC Ventoux. Frédéric and his brother Alexandre are the latest generation to run the estate, tending their vines with care and precision, following biodynamic principles.
