Wine Spectator: Latest Straight Talk Podcast Dives Into Champagne

Wine Spectator’s James Molesworth is poppin’ off in episode 3 of Straight Talk—with a Champagne spectacular! He’s joined by Wine Spectator’s lead taster for Champagne, Alison Napjus, and a wide-ranging lineup of sparkling wine stars: Roederer’s Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon talks Cristal and climate change, Alexandre Chartogne takes us inside the “grower Champagne” movement, and we talk business with the importer of Bollinger Champagne, among other bubbly related content.

Wine Spectator’s Straight Talk podcast is available exclusively—and for free—at WineSpectator.com/podcast. Hosted by senior editor and special projects director James Molesworth, each episode spotlights subjects featured in the most recent issues of Wine Spectator magazine, with episode 3 taking its cue from the Dec. 15, 2022, issue cover story. The next episode of Straight Talk will spotlight the Dec. 31, 2022, issue, celebrating Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of the Year.
