Wine Biz Radio

After a couple weeks out of town, Kaz comes home and plays catch-up with Randy on several topics, some even wine-related! They chat about the Chicago scene with Doug from Chicago Pinot, discuss sparkling wine production, and talk with a random listener who wandered into the Talkshoe conference, curious about wine! Tons of upcoming event info and plans for the Wine Bloggers Conference this October round out this up-to-date episode of Wine Biz Radio. Enjoy!

While Kaz and Randy continue their “not doing it live on the air” thing, they produce a free-for-all show today with discussions of this year’s harvest while the Talkshoe Peanut Gallery chats at them about all and sundry. And then Randy’s hard disk runs out of space while recording the show.

It’s fun, it’s frivolous, it’s Wine Biz Radio!

Randy atones for hitting the record button late in the latest of our Summertime pre-recorded show extravaganza! Philip James (”Sir Philip”) of Snooth joins Kaz and Randy on Talkshoe to discuss recent changes to their service, as well as a revisit of their site and what they’re up to.

In the second segment, the “Biodynamic Duo” riff on the latest goings on in Sonoma Valley and the wine world. And finally, Patrick Llerena of Iridesse Winery Consulting joins in, talking about our dear president’s food preferences in St. Helena, everyone’s take on the WITS conference last July, and what he’s up to in the Wine 2.0 space.

Another fine, fine episode for your listening pleasure! If you like it, tell a friend!

Wine Biz Radio launches its first (and almost certainly not its last) pre-recorded-but-still-interactive shows, leveraging the puzzling but versatile Talkshoe platform. Listen up as Kaz and Randy enjoy a slow start, but then join in lively conversation from across “The Pond” with Robert McIntosh of The Wine Conversation and Thirst for Rioja (in the UK). They discuss the European Wine Bloggers Conference coming this August, and his work promoting Rioja wines in his country.

It’s a brave new world for Wine Biz Radio, enjoy!

Kaz and Randy take a more sober (and technically challenging) tone, as they pay homage to Robert Mondavi’s passing. Kaz is basically serious throughout(!) and Randy overcomes the somewhat onerous hurdles of making Talkshoe work.

At about 5:48 into the show, listen for the sudden quality improvement (that is to say, the first few minutes are hard to listen to — you have Randy’s abject apologies).

An  inspiring Wine Biz Radio episode, we hope you enjoy it.
