B.C. Food And Wine Radio: Oct 30, 2024

This week, we invited Dr. Laura Catena, Managing Director, Bodega Catena Zapata Argentina, to discuss the hot topic of wine and health, with some thoughts on navigating to the truth and the science behind all the studies discussed by advocates for and against alcohol. Then we head to California to catch up with Shawn Brynildson, Winemaker Black Stallion Estate Winery. Inside the original horse riding area along the Silverado Trail in California’s Napa Valley, Black Stallion once housed prize horses; today, it is home to prize-winning vines. Joining us in our Vancouver studio is the legendary Master of Wine and winemaker Olivier Humbrecht of Domaine Zind Humbrecht in Alsace. Olivier talks bio-dynamics and viticulture, and his only outside consulting gig in the world at Phantom Creek Estates. Finally, we head to the north tip of the Village of Naramata to chat with Elizabeth Markulin, Sommelier at Eliza Wine Bar, at the 112-year-old heritage Naramata Inn.
