As you all have heard, and can hear, my voice has been a problem for 3 months now. I’ve begun therapy to learn how to deal with these voice issues. In the mean time, while I learn to use my voice all over again, I’m going to suspend this season, and pick it up when I can speak without the croaking, squeaking and this awful vocal fry - certainly not sexy! Please stay subscribed to the Glass in Session® Feed, and look for Season 7 to start in May. There are over three dozen back episodes that cover everything from wood, to oxygen, mold to yeast, to wine, brandy, sotol and marsala to holy wars and wine caves. I hope you’ll stay in touch! Find me: Twitter: @WinegalUnboxed Instagram, FB, and Pinterest: Vino With Val Email: Val@glassinsession.com I’d love to hear about what you’re up to, what new beverage fun you’ve discovered during our year of our abnormally new normal. Let me know if there’s a subject of obscure corkdorkery you’d like to hear about in Season 7. Glass in Session® is a production and Registered Trademark of Vino With Val, LLC.

Podcastus Interruptus: A Note from Val

This is an exploration of the main styles or Rutherglen (Australia) fortified wines - or Stickies. We also learn a little about Rutherglen Network and the classifications of the famous Muscat wines. Because Rutherglen’s wine history dates back to the Gold Rush of the 1800s, “Liquid Gold” puns were made. The host can’t help herself.

S6E3: A Sweet, Sticky Story - Rurtherglen Fortified Wines

No, not a "disco" party, thank you very much, autocorrect. A Pisco Party! We're talking about distilled spirits from Peru and Chile: what they are, how they are made, and the many differences between them. They are unique and distinct beverages from their respective countries of origin, and the differences between the two make the two Piscos fascinating spirits to explore, from history to grape to their role in their national cocktails.

S5E6: Wines of Israel and Giving Thanks

This is an overview of grape brandy around the world, and the different regions, production methods and styles. We distinguish the major grape brandy styles from those spirits made with other fruits, and the range of expressions from Grappa to long-aged brandies of the classic regions like Jerez, Cognac, and Armagnac.

While fans await the release of the 2020 Beaujolais Nouveau, we explore the 10 Cru du Beaujolais appellations.

Michael Whidden from Vines 4 Votes talks to us about the confluence of wine and politics, and how prominent wine professionals came together to help enact change. Vines 4 Votes is an online wine auction which runs from 12 - 16 October 2020. Now for the juicy part: they have 80 lots of wine, ranging from $40 - $4000. Some are from older vintages, including verticals, and there are a few unicorn bottles. The proceeds from this auction will go to the ACLU of Texas, working to protect voting rights, recruit poll workers, and work with county clerks and voters on policies and education. Vines 4 Votes is one way you and fellow wine lovers can help make a big difference in the second largest state in the country ... while connecting over a great bottle.

Bonus Session: Vines 4 Votes Wine Auction with Michael Whidden

What do popes, kings, and holy wars have to do with wine? Religious orders dating back to medieval times are still leaving their distinctive marks on wine bottles over a thousand years later. This episode is an exploration of what the warrior monks of Knights Templar and Order of Malta have to do with wine, and why their crosses show up on bottles of great wines today. This is a light, chronological nod to wine’s role in economies, cultures, and religion throughout history.

S5E2: Getting Medieval: Wine and Holy Warriors

Season 5 kicks off with a sparkling wine style known as pétillant naturel or pét-nat. These wines are made in a method similar to the ancestral or ancient method that dates back over 500 years. They are fun, fresh, sometimes funky, and certainly refreshing. Many are sealed with a crown cap (like a beer bottle) and may even sport some sediment or cloudiness. This episode explains the how and why of this style of sparkling wine.

S4E6: Got Wood? Talkin' bout Oak

Crossover products such as whiskey aged in wine barrels, and vice versa, are certainly not a new thing. But with much discussion around whether the new Bourbon-barrel-aged wines on the market are faddish or gimmicky, it's a good time to dig into the subject. Why Bourbon barrels?

S4E5: Roll out the (Bourbon) Barrel ... and put Wine in it?

This episode explores grapes with colored flesh or pulp known as teinturiers. Having only a top-level knowledge of these grapes - that they exist - your host thought it would be fun to track down a little more information about them. Why do we mainly hear about Alicante Bouschet? Who can name other teinturiers? What about history? Prohibition you say? We dig into all of this in under 20 minutes.

This is the third episode in the “Wine Ed Sessions” series featuring voices and interesting, fun personalities behind the Society of Wine Educators (SWE). Ben Coffelt, CSS, CSW, is the Sales Manager representing the greater west coast and joins us from California. Ben tells us about his wine and spirits journey, and talks rum and terroir, a tiki happy hour. We also are treated to some insight into the spirits education evolution, certifications, our upcoming virtual conference, and some new testing information.   SWE is a non-profit organization focused on responsible wine, spirits, and hospitality education, as well as quality professional certifications. It’s also where the host, Val, found what she refers to as her “wine tribe” at her first conference in 2014.
