Wine Insiders is celebrating our 39th Anniversary this year, so for today’s episode we’re going to go old-school, then old-world. One of our guiding principles is authenticity. Behind every bottle are real winemakers, storied vineyards and authentic flavors. Behind our curation is real talent. We launched this podcast to share these real stories with you, so for our Anniversary edition, we are going old-school to introduce you to our very first ever Wine Insiders panelist. We’ll hear his origin story, a journey from wine newbie to sommelier at the French Laundry, a restaurant created by legendary chef Thomas Keller’s in the heart of California wine country. Next, we’ll go old-school and journey back to 1982, the year our very first customers placed their orders for wine and a famous vintage year for Bordeaux and Burgundy. Finally, we’ll talk about these world-renowned appellations in France, then taste the flavors of both with four excellent wines from our collection.Our guest today is Chris Hoel, founder of Harper’s Club, a bespoke wine firm offering its clientele expert curation for creating the finest private wine collections in the world. If you’ve spent any time our website or at our events, you’ve seen Chris tasting wines from our collection or teaching our customers how to sniff, sip and repeat. Wines Tasted: From Bordeaux Red - 2018 Château Haut Boilon Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux RougeWhite -2019 Château Gandoy Perrinat 1281 Bordeaux BlancRosé - 2019 Les Chartrons Bordeaux Rosé From BurgundyRed - 2018 Jean Boisselier Coteaux Bourguignons RougeVisit http://www.wineinsiders.com to learn more.Sound effects obtained from https://www.zapsplat.com Lyrics to Red Red Wine by writer Neil DiamondSung by Deborah Magidson @debmagvoice
