Meet Peter Dim, Niagara winery owner of Dim Wine Co.
Dim Wine Co. is relatively "new" for the Niagara wine scene but his families wine history in this area goes back well over 50 years.
I learned about them through word of mouth from other wineries and I'm thrilled to have discovered them.
Great family story, killer Riesling and big Bordeaux blends. -

We are less then a week away from World Verdejo Day which is happening on Friday, June 5th.
I have a bunch of interviews with winemakers, winery owners and other people connected with the Verdejo grape and the Spanish white wine region of Rueda.
Rueda is a two-hour drive northwest of Madrid and is perfect spot for Verdejo with its hot summers, cold winters, crazy old vines and a massive commitment to organic/biodynamic grape growing.
My first interview is with winemaker Pedro Martin from Bodegas Protos.
His family used to make white wine in Rueda in the 1940s. His journey has gone from learning how to make wine in Bordeaux, working at one of London’s most famous wine stores, Oddbins to now making a variety of Verdejo for Bodegas Protos. -
What I love about doing this Podcast is the opportunity to meet with crazy talented people with fascinating stories to tell.
Meet Mia Martensson!
She went from Hotel pot-washer on Gotland Island in Sweden to being the Head Sommelier on the largest private residential yacht to creating a Wine Spectator Award Winning wine program at the Seven Stars Spa & Resort in Turks & Caicos.
Lotta energy, lotta fun! -
The Podcast is back in South Island New Zealand.
My guest is Fergus Winters, a winemaker and the Manager for The Boneline, a boutique winery located in the Waipara wine region located in North Canterbury.
Great interview especially for people who want to learn more about Waipara an important but not talked about enough part of the New Zealand wine world. -
Did you know there is a giant wine library located at Brock’s Cool Climate Oenology and Viticulture Institute?
It’s true, and it’s glorious!
Love the idea of showing just how age worthy Canadian wines are and all will always be.
Had a chance to interview Taylor MaGee the wine cellar manager for the library and operations co-ordinator for CCOVI. -
Her official title for Neudorf Vineyards is Director of Sales and Marketing but Rosie Finn would rather be known as the “International Cheerleader” for one of the best wineries in the Nelson region of South Island New Zealand.
Growing up in the winery Rosie never thought she would be working at Neudorf until she found herself thousands of miles away from home. Her story is a sweet one built on a love for family, wine and a hell of a lot of hard work.
Hard not to root for this winery or her family. -
The Podcast is doing a deep dive on all things Italy with Giovanni Silvestri from Italy's leading food and wine media company, Gambero Rosso.
We discuss all that goes into judging thousands of wineries that you will find in their Vini d'Italia guide, the definitive go-to resource for all things Italian wine.
I get to try a white grape from Lazio winery Casale del Giglio that I had never heard of before (Called Bellone, you can find it at the LCBO), Giovanni goes over his wine journey all while hanging out at Bar Centrale at Terroni.
Not a bad way to spend the day. -
On the latest ‘Matt Talks Wine & Stuff with Interesting People Podcast’ … the South Island, New Zealand wine tour continues with Paul Donaldson, the General Manager of Pegasus Bay winery located in the Waipara wine region.
This winery is a true family affair.
Started by Ivan and Christine Donaldson in 1985 and now in the more than capable hands of their children who produce such a diverse range of wines from classic Pinot Noir to just about every style of Riesling you can imagine.
One of the highlights of our trip! -
My guest is Nick Mills the General Manager and Vigneron for Rippon Vineyard (He is not a fan of the "winemaker" label) ... we sit down for an interview after Nick invited me for a 7am swim in Wānaka.
They make classic cool climate Pinot Noir and an array of aromatic whites that come with far more texture than you would expect. -
Last March I interviewed Luke Marquis, the Global Sales Director for Mollydooker Wines.
One of my takeaways was just how impressive his mother, Sarah Marquis, the owner of Mollydooker Wines sounded.
I had to have her on.
I'm so glad to have interviewed Sarah.
Her story, the impact of her father on the winery, the serious commitment to fun, the philanthropy connected with the winery is all so damn compelling!
Trust me, this episode is gonna have ya hooked from start to finish. -
The Podcast sits down with New Zealand wine royalty! Nigel Greening, the owner of Felton Road.
Nigel went from this September 28th, 2000 ‘Wine Spectator; headline: “Pinot Noir Fanatic Buys New Zealand's Felton Road Wines” to helping spear head vineyard specific wines in Central Otago.
Nigel has such a great story.
Enjoy! -
