Hosts Kim Simone and Mark Lenzi explore all things wine with you!

Uncorking a New Way to Learn with Mistral Wine Cards

In this episode of The Wonderful World of Wine (WWW), Kim and Mark sit down with Seth Cysewski, the visionary founder and inventor of Mistral Wine Cards. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by complex wine books or tired of staring at a screen to learn about your favorite vintage, this conversation is for you!

Seth Cysewski

Seth takes us on a journey through his professional wine background and shares the poetic inspiration behind the "Mistral" name. We dive deep into the philosophy of tangible learning and why Seth believes it’s time for wine education to "leave the screen."

📚 Inside the Episode:

• The Digital Fatigue: Seth explains why digital wine education often falls short and how physical cards create a more lasting, sensory connection to wine knowledge.
• The Mistral Format: We explore the design and content of the cards—built for everyone from the "wine geek" to the casual consumer.
• A Tool for the Trade: Discover how wine shops, restaurants, and brands are using these cards to enhance the customer experience and streamline staff training.
• Stop Chasing Trends: Seth shares his provocative take on why the wine industry needs to stop following fads. Plus, he reveals his surprising plan for what he’ll do if Mistral Wine Cards become a trend themselves!
• The Big Picture: A look at the future of the brand and the many creative ways to integrate these cards into your wine journey.

The conversation centers on her brand, Oceano 0, which is making waves as one of the first U.S. non-alcoholic wines made with a true sense of place and vintage dated. You'll get the scoop on:

• The intricate process to make non-alcoholic wines, including the advanced techniques that preserve quality.
• An in-depth look at the use of additives, with a specific focus on Velcorin (dimethyl dicarbonate) for microbial control.
• Costs, shelf life, storage, and aging potential of non-alcoholic wines.
• The specifics of carbonated n/a wines.
• Crucial FDA and TTB label information for the category.
• Fascinating stories and trends in the n/a world.
• Details on the AFNA Wine Education Program, the first-of-its-kind credential for beverage professionals.
• How and where you can get your hands on the Oceano 0 wines.

Rachel is here to prove that removing the alcohol doesn't mean sacrificing a wine's complexity or its compelling story.

Cheers, 

Kim and Mark

Hosts Kim Simone and Mark Lenzi explore all things wine with you!

Talking Whiskey With Colonel Craig Duncan

Grab a glass 🥃 and join us for a very special episode as Kim and Mark take their first deep dive into the world of whiskey! We're thrilled to be joined by a true expert, Colonel Craig Duncan, the founder and president of Whiskey University.

Colonel Duncan shares the fascinating journey of how Whiskey University and its foundational principles came to be, along with the story of how he earned his commission as a Colonel in both Kentucky and Tennessee.

Episode 308 - Talking Whiskey
With Colonel Craig Duncan (audio)

You'll quickly discover that much like wine, the location and terroir of whiskey truly matter, a concept we explore in detail. The Colonel gives us a clear definition of whiskey, and we draw fun parallels between wine stories and whiskey stories. We even compare a wine's tech sheet to a whiskey's mash bill!

Get a history lesson as Colonel Duncan delves into the incredible, often surprising, history of whiskey in American government, including its impact on taxes. We also talk shop, comparing the landscape of big brands versus small, craft distilleries.

Finally, the Colonel shares insights into current bourbon trends, and offers practical shopping and tasting tips to help you find your next favorite pour.

Whether you're a lifelong whiskey lover or just starting your journey, this is the essential show for you!

Cheers!

Kim and Mark
