Wine 101

A legendary meeting with a French Baron is about to change everything. But first, Robert Mondavi must face the storm of family conflict and valley drama threatening to boil over

A winery is built, and wine is made all at the same time.

We continue our story of the Mondavi wine empire, and things get a bit fisty-cuffs

We begin the story of one of the most famous winemaking families in American history.

In 2011, industry veterans Joshua Boissy and Krystof Zizka quietly opened Maison Premiere on a then-sleepy stretch of Bedford Avenue—far from the bustling hotspot it would later become. The bar didn’t stay quiet for long. Its immersive, transportive design and exceptional cocktails quickly drew crowds and set a new standard for New York hospitality. Adam sits down with Joshua to unpack the near-miss funding that almost kept the bar from opening, the rapid rise that followed, and where the Maison Premiere brand is headed next.Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/buildoutpodcastMaison Premiere: https://www.instagram.com/maisonpremiereVinePair: https://www.instagram.com/vinepairHosted by VinePair Co-Founder: https://www.instagram.com/adamteeterProduced and edited by: https://www.instagram.com/dolldoctor

I take stock of all the great bottles that came through the tasting room this year and talk about the state of our most loved varieties and styles going into the new year.
