Wine Spectator’s Straight Talk Vol. 5: The Rhône, Port, And The Value Wine Of The Year

Wine Spectator’s Straight Talk podcast kicks off 2023 with a star-studded trip to France’s Rhône Valley, a closer look at Port with two of the region’s biggest names, and Wine Spectator’s Value Wine of the Year for 2022.

Host James Molesworth and senior editor Kristen Bieler share tales of their recent trip to France’s Rhône Valley, and are joined in the studio by Philippe Guigal to talk recent vintages and a new addition to Guigal’s famous La-La lineup of Côte-Rôtie Syrahs.

Straight Talk also speaks with Port stars and friendly rivals Adrian Bridge of the Fladgate Partnership and Rupert Symington of Symington Family Estates. Plus, senior editor for news Mitch Frank discusses how flooding is impacting the California wine industry. Wine Spectator’s Straight Talk podcast is available exclusively—and for free—at WineSpectator.com/podcast.
