Demystifying wine one episode at a time. Orange wine. Natural wine. Sulfates. Cepage. Battonage. What the f&$@ does that mean?? Here, we’re breaking down the barriers in the wine world to give you the knowledge you need to talk about what you like and don’t like with confidence. Loris is a court of Masters certified sommelier and takes need to a new level. After working in several Michelin starred restaurants she now dedicates her time to translating wine speak into something the rest of us ca understand.
Finally we're going to demystify rosé and put some respeck on Merlot's name.
On this episode of Loris the Somm's Wine Fairy Podcast, we're diving deeper into the West Coast's wine history. Focusing on two California producers and one Oregon producer, Loris helps decode the mystery behind rosé & what the big deal is with aged wine. From a Croatian immigrant, to a self-made American man and finally to an African-American family making a legacy, we're exploring wine as a story telling method.

Let's dive into some California History as we taste through two grapes that once dominated the agricultural landscape in California's wine history. Before prohibition these grapes thrived as the go to grapes for many winemakers.
The clean & focused winemaking of Scythian Wine Co. (http://www.josepastorselections.com/scythian-wine-co.html)'s Mission and non-vinifera grapes blend help me navigate through the art of blind tasting while the Petit Sirah from Ward Four Wines (https://www.wardfourwines.com/) quite literally leaves me speechless and lost in the sauce.
Both of these wines come from winemakers who decidedly are championing indigenous and domestic grapes that aren't as commonly known now as they had once been, and both of these winemakers are in the natural wine scene.
What sets both of these wines apart from others in the natty wine elk is their ability to share a story, convey a place or time, and ultimately provide an experience that people want to share.

Baller versus Budget, $8 Familie Perrin versus $60 Arnot Roberts.
On this episode of the Wine Fairy Podcast, Loris tests out if more expensive wine is really all around better. Two different styles of Syrah, a french grape that truly satiates the palate, from two different countries at two different price points.
Arnot Roberts is a team of California winemakers drawn to make clear expressions of California terroir. Small production, hand harvesting, and often only double and single digit barrel size production.
Famille Perrin is a family owned wine brand that owns several tiers of wine, from top tier Chateau Beaucastel to more accessible brands like La Ville Ferme.
