Tune In to Wine with David Kohl : Bordeaux, Burgundy &; Beyond

Italian White Wine Blend from Tuscany’s Coastal Region

David Kohl is passionate about value-based wine selections and today presents a prime example from Italy’s Maremma DOC region situated along the coast of Tuscany. Maremma DOC is largely known for its red wine production, with whites garnering less attention from consumers. But this beautiful blend in the $15 range provides a rich tasting experience with more depth than a simple Pinot Grigio, and also pairs perfectly as a food wine. : 70% Trebbiano Toscana / 20% Vermentino / 10% Sauvignon Blanc #winepodcast #italianwine #italianwines #maremmaitaly #docwines #tuscanyvibes #tuscanyitaly #whitewineblend #whitewine

Unique White Wine Grape “Savagnin” from France’s Jura Region

The Jura wine-growing region of France located at the eastern border near Switzerland received appellation status in 1937 and today produces world class selections that do not receive an appropriate amount of attention from the global community of enthusiasts. We highlight an offering from the acclaimed Tissot Family featuring Jura’s signature white wine grape known as Savagnin. A mineral driven tasting experience with notes of almond paste & orchard fruits, this rich varietal is often compared as a cross between Chardonnay & Gewurztraminer. #winepodcast #jurawine #whitewine #savagningrape #winelover

Unique White Wine Blend : IGP Gard Region of France

David Kohl explored different enclaves of Paris in a recent trip and enjoyed St. Georges district of 9th Arrondissement where he discovered La Cave Mieux wine shop specializing in naturel/organic wines such as this gem “Les Plaques” produced by Domaine Mont de Marie situated in IGP Gard winemaking region of Languedoc. This unique Blanc de Noir style blend of 4 grapes : Grenache Gris, Grenache Rouge, Grenache Blanc + Carignan Blanc was an opportunity that “The Grape Explorer” could not resist. #winepodcast #winelover #languedocwine #igpgardregion #domainemontdemarie #whitewineblend #9tharrondissement #pariswineshop

Coteaux du Gennois AOC French Wine Appellation

David Kohl highlights one of Loire Valley’s lesser-known wine regions : Coteaux du Gennois. As a neighbor to Sancerre, Coteaux du Gennois has been a winemaking destination since the 6th Century but only earned appellation status in 1998. Domaine Poupat run by current family members Philippe, Damien and Xavier has been the cornerstone of Coteaux du Gennois viticulture for almost 400 years., delivering top value Sauvignon Blanc offerings. With Sancerre pricing on the rise, Coteaux du Gennois may now be poised to emerge as a more consumer friendly alternative. #winepodcast #loirevalleywine #winelover #winevalues #whitewine #coteauxdugennois #sauvignonblanc

Angelo Gaja Super Tuscan Wine “Promis”

David Kohl dines at Opus Steakhouse on Long Island and selects a “premium pour” Angelo Gaja Super Tuscan known as Promis, to pair with a succulent filet mignon with sides of sautéed mushrooms & charred broccolini. This highly regarded blend of Merlot, Syrah & Sangiovese is produced in Bolgheri, Italy as a less pricey offering from superstar winemaker Gaja, who is best known for his elite Barbaresco vineyards. #angelogaja #supertuscan #steakhouse #longislandfoodie #wineanddine
