Episode #23
The VDV Select August 2026 Wine Club - Part 2
Aug 18, 202630 minS1
In Episode 23 of Thanks! It's Vintage , co-hosts Andrew and Lydia are keeping the late-summer momentum going as they wrap up the VDV Select August Wine Club with Part 2. Shifting gears from the crisp whites of the first half, the duo explores two distinctly fascinating, chillable pours that beautifully blur the lines between seasons. First in their glasses is the Fabulas "Fortitudo" Cerasuolo di Montepulciano , a deeply pigmented, structured Italian wine that sits right on the delicious boundary between a robust rosé and a light red. They unpack its vibrant cherry notes and refreshing acidity, explaining why it is the ultimate late-summer food wine. Next, they travel to the historic, old-vine vineyards of Chile to explore the fiercely traditional and highly crushable Lomas de Llahuen Gustavo Riffo Pipeño . Andrew and Lydia break down the rustic, earthy charm of this light-bodied, chill-ready red, proving it is the exact bottle you want in your cooler at an August barbecue. Whether you are already pulling the corks and tasting right along with the back half of your August shipment, or listening leaves you inspired to officially join the wine club yourself, Andrew and Lydia serve up the ultimate guide to finishing the month strong.
In Episode 22 of Thanks! It's Vintage , co-hosts Andrew and Lydia are soaking up the final stretch of summer with Part 1 of the VDV Select August Wine Club. Join the duo as they pop the cork on the first half of this month’s four-bottle lineup, starting with the bright and alpine-fresh Alois Lageder Vigneti delle Dolomiti 'Misto Mare' Bianco . Together, they head to the stunning peaks of Northern Italy to explore how this crisp, aromatic white blend delivers the ultimate thirst-quenching energy for hot August afternoons. Next, they journey to the Loire Valley to pour the Domaine Maison Cheverny Blanc , breaking down how its classic, zesty marriage of Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay strikes a perfect balance of vibrant citrus and elegant texture. Whether you are already pulling the corks and tasting right along with your own August shipment, or listening leaves you inspired to officially join the wine club yourself, Andrew and Lydia serve up the perfect pours to keep you cool all month long.
In Episode 21 of Thanks! It's Vintage , co-hosts Andrew and Lydia are treating their palates to something decadent with a deep dive into the luscious world of dessert wines. Often misunderstood by modern drinkers as being simply "too sweet," the duo breaks down the fascinating science, extreme patience, and intensive labor required to craft these liquid gold pours. They explore the incredibly diverse methods winemakers use to naturally concentrate sugar and flavor—from the miraculous "noble rot" (botrytis) that gives us iconic wines like Sauternes and Tokaji, to the freezing temperatures required for Ice Wine, and the rich tradition of fortified favorites like Port. Along the way, Andrew and Lydia discuss the crucial secret weapon behind every great sweet wine—bright, balancing acidity—and share their favorite, sometimes unexpected, food pairings (hint: bring on the salty, blue cheese!). Whether you are a lifelong fan of a sticky nightcap or looking to expand your palate beyond dry wines, grab a glass and prepare to treat yourself to the ultimate after-dinner sip.
The Chameleon of the Vineyard – Unpacking Chardonnay
Jul 28, 202648 minS1
In Episode 20 of Thanks! It's Vintage , co-hosts Andrew and Lydia are tackling one of the most famous—and perhaps most polarizing—grapes in the entire wine world: Chardonnay. Often referred to as the ultimate "winemaker's canvas," this highly adaptable grape can take on wildly different personalities depending on where it is grown and how it is crafted in the cellar. The duo breaks down the full spectrum of Chardonnay styles, traveling from the razor-sharp, unoaked minerality of Chablis to the rich, buttery, and oak-driven classics of California. Along the way, they address the infamous "Anything But Chardonnay" (ABC) movement, explaining exactly where those polarizing butter and vanilla notes come from (hello, malolactic fermentation and new oak!) and why there is truly a style of this grape out there for every palate. Whether you are a lifelong fan of this versatile white or a skeptical drinker willing to give it a second chance, grab a glass as Andrew and Lydia pour out the history, science, and undeniable charm of the world's most planted white grape.
In Episode 19 of Thanks! It's Vintage , co-hosts Andrew and Lydia take a deep dive into the refreshing world of coastal wines, exploring how proximity to the sea shapes some of the most vibrant and energetic bottles on earth. The duo breaks down exactly how maritime climates—with their cooling ocean breezes, morning fogs, and natural temperature regulation—slow down grape ripening to preserve mouthwatering acidity and impart a signature, thirst-quenching kiss of salinity. To bring this saline magic to life, they travel the globe in their glasses to highlight three iconic coastal styles. They explore the windswept, Atlantic-influenced vineyards of Rías Baixas in Spain, the sun-drenched, Mediterranean island terroir of Sicily, and the lip-smacking, oyster-ready perfection of Picpoul from the coast of Southern France. Grab a glass and pull up a beach chair as Andrew and Lydia guide you through the unique science of seaside winemaking and prove why these ocean-influenced pours deserve a permanent spot in your summer rotation.
