Binny's Blog

Guigal is the premiere producer in the Rhone and this week we're talking to Patrick Will, brand development director at their U.S. importer, Vintus.

Pat is constantly extolling the virtues of aromatized wines. Finally, we have a guest who will actually agree with him and won’t just make fun of him. Jake Parrott is a friend of the pod and the Whiskey Hotline and is also the national sales director of Haus Alpenz. What Jake sells, and Pat loves, is woefully esoteric. But Binny’s customers, and Barrel to Bottle listeners, are enthusiasts.

Last week we covered the wonders of wormwood in our introduction to vermouth and aromatized wines.

Resident wine guy Chris takes the Barrel to Bottle Crew through some of the lesser known appellations of the Rhone Valley.
