This new series tours various parts of the world with expert wine enthusiasts, sommeliers, and regional cuisine historians offering a wealth of information on the distinctive regional wines and food pairings. Exploring some of the most breathtaking vineyards and unique vintages available today, this show highlights the ins and outs of operating a winery and organic farming from soil analysis, the use of certain terrain-slopes, climates, decanting, to the blending of grapes and the preservation of the wine's distinctive taste. Interviews of winery owners give an insight into the business of wine making as well. Wine Cents will take students thirsty for knowledge on a demystifying wine odyssey demonstrating unequivocally that you can drink well without the threat of foreclosure, that an inflated price doesn't always equate to inflated quality, that food pairing doesn't have to be a tricky subject, and that once you've gotten a taste of the region (and the wine), there is also incredible motivation to explore the world's wine countries and regional cuisines. Episode 1 Shiraz: Gnarly Old Beasts Gain a new understanding of Australian Shiraz while uncovering the value in a country that has some of the oldest vines on the planet. Episode 2 Chardonnay: "So You Don't Like Chardonnay" Meet the ugly duckling of the wine family. Mark examines this fascinating blend and the reasons behind why it sometimes gets such a bad rap in the world of wines. Episode 3 Meritage: "The Balance of Blending" Learn how the balance of barrels and Bordeaux blends can create a complex, food-friendly wine that is easy on the palete and the pocketbook. Episode 4 Pinots and Organics: "Three Little Pinots Go to Market" Discover how grapes that are the most difficult to grow can produce wines that are not only food friendly, but good for you.
