Postcards in a Glass shares an unpretentious world of wine, believing that every good wine "takes you somewhere." This series of audio postcards from great wine regions around the world is hosted by James Beard Award-winning journalist and WSET (Wine & Spirit Education Trust) Certified Educator Lyn Farmer. In conversations with winemakers and many others who love wine, Lyn brings out the passion and joy people have for the beverage, and every now and then manages to include a discussion of spirits, beer, sake and the arts. You don't need to be an expert to share the passion for wine and food at the heart of this podcast focusing equally on geographical as well as cultural terroir.
In this episode, Dr. Pepe Schib of Tenuta di Arceno in Tuscany's beautiful Chianti Classico explores not on the concept of "Super Tuscan" wine, but the passionate pursuit of excellence and innovation in one of Europe's most historic regions.

Julien Fayard's Winemaking Tension
French-born and trained (he made his first wine at 16), Julien Fayard is today one of the most in-demand and innovative winemakers in Northern California. He consulted for many properties and created many wines with stratospheric scores, but today he focuses on making wines for his own brands that he calls, "terroir-driven wines with French finesse." Julien Fayard talks with Postcards in a Glass host Lyn Farmer about the origins of that finesse, and what he he brought from Bordeaux and the South of France to Napa, about why neither region can successfully copy the other and especially about his concept of "tension." This, he says, is a crucial element of his style, something we explore not only in Cabernet Sauvignon but also Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc and other grapes he believes can make unique expressions in Northern California. "Wine begins in the vineyard, not the winery," Fayard says, and that's the starting point for an entertaining discussion on Postcards in a Glass.
