Embark on a journey through the transformative world of Riesling with our charismatic guest, Kristie Tacey of Tessier Wines, as we shatter American misconceptions of this multifaceted varietal. From my own dining epiphanies to Kristie's plans for skin-contact white wines, we celebrate the release—and quick disappearance—of the Tessier 2022 Soul Love, leaving us yearning for just one more sip. Revel in the stories of Alsatian delights and get a peek behind the curtain of the natural wine movement, paired with a hearty dose of transparency talk and its impact on the wine industry.

Ever wondered how a graphic health warning might change your next bottle of wine? We take a deep look at government's hand in alcohol consumption awareness, comparing the potential effects on the industry to the seismic shifts caused by similar warnings in the tobacco world. Kristie helps us navigate the cultural ripples from Ireland to South America, and we ponder whether the pursuit of transparency will shake up our buying habits as profoundly as the latest scientific findings disrupt public perception.

And for those with a taste for the novel, we explore the tantalizing realm of CBD-infused wines, considering whether they're complicating or enhancing our imbibing experience. To top off the episode, I share the comedies and melodies currently fueling my life—think Lonely Island and Waxahatchee, with a dash of Chastity Belt for good measure. As we raise a glass to networking with just the right touch of CBD confidence, join us for laughs, insights, and the delightful complexities that come with the ever-evolving world of alcohol and pleasure.

We open a bottle of intrigue when Kristie Tacey, the biotech professional turned winemaking wizard behind Tessier Wines, pulls up a chair at our podcast table. Her story, a blend of science, art, and sheer tenacity, pours out as we explore the vine-laden path that led her to carve out a niche in the world of boutique wines. Kristie's candid revelations about the hurdles she's overcome, from the initial spark at a winery visit to juggling her own label while working for others, are not just her personal tasting notes on life but a robust guide for anyone fermenting their own dream.

Venturing into the vineyards, we unravel the intricate dance of sourcing grapes and the deep connections with the earth and people that bring a bottle to life. Kristie leads us through this ritual, sharing her transition from the familiar terroir of the Russian River Valley to the bold frontiers of the El Dorado and Santa Cruz Mountains. We then uncork the process behind Tessier's standout wine labels, where each design is a toast to the essence captured within the glass, marrying the precision of Kristie's scientific background with the flourish of her artistic touch.

Our conversation takes a rhythmic turn as we explore the symphony of senses that is pairing wine with the perfect playlist. Kristie tunes us into the harmonious practice of matching her wines with melodies, a process that goes beyond the palate to an immersive sensory experience including her curated Spotify playlists. As we anticipate the upcoming wine release event, which promises to be a confluence of delectable bites, soulful tracks, and, of course, exceptional wines, we raise our glasses to the melody of winemaking – where every sip is a note and every bottle tells a story.
