My featured guest today on the Whitley on Wine radio show (2 p.m. PT, 5 p.m. ET) is Terry Adams, Director of Winemaking at Sonoma Cutrer since 1991.
Sonoma Cutrer is a Chardonnay specialist and its Les Pierres vineyard is arguably one of America’s finest two or three sites for this grape variety. The philosophy is unabashedly Burgundian at Sonoma Cutrer, to the point that it has developed and maintained what it calls a grand cru program since Terry took over from his mentor, founding winemaker Bill Bonetti.
Terry will be with us for the first half-hour before we are joined by Wine Review Online’s very own cooking babe, Sarah Belk King, who will have a number of great dishes for holiday parties.
If you can’t be with us for the entire hour, or you won’t be near a computer when we broadcast, visit SignOnRadion.com now and subscribe to the podcast (RSS feed) and listen any time you like.
The Dec. 14 show has now been posted in the archive, though the show details are missing. We enjoyed an all-too-brief conversation with Michael Jordan, a Master Sommelier and the Wine Director at the Disneyland Resort’s Napa Rose Resturant.
Jordan oversees one of Southern California’s finest wine lists, the pride of which is the 80-wines-by-the-glass program. Rebecca Moot (Home Cooking) also stopped in with a couple of practical cook-at-home recipes. Michael and Rebecca took up the first half-hour in Segment 1, and were followed by Champagne for Dummies author Ed McCarthy in Segment 2.
Ed offered many great Champagne suggestions for holiday planning, and gave a rundown on top California sparklers, cava and prosecco. Don’t miss it!
