Different perspectives, same results ft. a red blend

from Sip & Grow The Podcast · host Nicole Di Pasquale

Pinot Noir - Malbec blend…. Let's try it out!   In my Graziano's market quest, I came across this red blend and was immediately intrigued. This producer is known for high altitude wines and I love the story behind how this label was created. Five friends that love wine basically created Gen del Alma to keep on making awesome wines that are delicious! Coolest thing about today's wine is that they leave it in a concrete vat for six months before bottling and releasing the wine.   I get into the Summit of Greatness I attended back in 2023 and how it really changed my perspective and lit a fire in me to continue going after my goals and dreams. One of the most important things that stuck with me from that summit was a story that was shared in regards to a black fly.  When you are in a rut or feel stuck in your life, are you taking a step back and looking at the full picture? Or are you trying so hard to get through your set perspective that you don't see other options? Are you hyper focused on the wrong perspective? There are multiple ways of getting to your end goal and sometimes we are so hyper focused on one way when there are multiple ways to get to the same result.   Tune in now to get the full details on this wine, the producer and sit in for a good story time on how we can get out of our own way and get to the next level through a different perspective.   1:50 - Intro to today's wine & producer 2:50 - Northern part of Uco valley 4:50 - Carbonic maceration 5:25 - Concrete vats 6:35 - Summit of Greatness, Lewis Howe 7:50 - Hardest emotion to experience = disappointment  9:22 - Our experiences teach us something 9:45 - Visual analysis 10:08 - Olfactory analysis 10:50 - Tasting notes 12:00 - Foods that go well with this wine 12:25 - Rating of the wine 13:15 - The story of the black fly 14:45 - Different ways to get the same result     Today's wine: Gen del Alma Malbec - Pinot Noir 2020 $20 (Bought at Graziano's market)   Connect with me on IG @sipandgrowpodcast   Get your FREE Wine Aroma Wheel at https://stan.store/nicoledipasquale    Check out my Italian Wine Guide at https://stan.store/nicoledipasquale
