Wine For Normal People Radio: Episode 36 -- Common Winemaking Terms Defined

To start 2012, we've got NEW MUSIC (so don't be freaked out when you listen!).

If you didn't see my previous post, we were chosen as "Best New Arts Podcast" in Apple's 2011 Rewind! Thanks to everyone for loyal listening in 2011 and we look forward to a great 2012.

After some shout outs and great reviews, we tackle common winemaking terms and define them. A dorky, but fun episode!

Download on iTunes or listen here!

Here are some quick notes on the show:

• If you ever wondered exactly what stuff like residual sugar, malolactic fermentation, sur lie aging, maceration, natural yeast fermentation, disgorgement and riddling, and bottle shock are, you are in luck!
• We address listener questions on aging Champagne (thanks Larry Rice!) and on sur lie (thanks Sayle Milne!).
• The Grape of the Week is Chenin Blanc.

The new music (needed something that was more ME! I didn't love the other stuff, but I'm not 100% sure this is it either) is "Café connection" by morgantj / CC BY 3.0, ©2009 - Licensed under Creative Commons Attribution (3.0).

Let us know if you like it, and if you're a mixmaster and want us to use your bumper music instead, send it over and we'll give it a listen!
