A Spirited Sip with a Wine Maverick Raymond Blake
Join hosts Kim and Mark on as they uncork a fantastic conversation with acclaimed Irish wine author, Raymond Blake. In this spirited episode, Raymond takes us on a journey through his unconventional path to becoming a respected wine writer, starting with a surprising "interest" at the tender age of 10.
We dive deep into the world of Burgundy, exploring common misconceptions and his thoughts on the Aligoté grape, all inspired by his books Cote d’Or: The Winemaking Heart of Burgundy and Breakfast in Burgundy. Raymond also shares his unique perspective on French wine values and his work in Hugh Johnson's Pocket Wine Books.
The conversation flows into topics from his book Wine Talk, including the concept of "sense of place" and Champagne’s "garbage history." You'll be amazed by his candid revelation of a travel destination that fell short of his expectations. Finally, Raymond’s passion shines through as he unravels the beautiful mystery of wine, offering a captivating and insightful look into why it captivates so many.
