In this edition of Wine Chat, we head to Lucas Park Grille in downtown St. Louis. Chef Kyle Patterson helps us with some pairings for the Annual St. Louis Restaurant Week. This benefit , comprised of 25 local restaurants, is a chance for St. Louis to eat some amazing dishes from our fair city’s top chefs, and raise money to feed area children.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Lady Hennessy herself, Melyssa Ford! It’s not all about the Hennessy for Ms. Ford, and Chris was sure to ask her about her favorite wines!
Ice wine and hot wings? Well, maybe not. Jase and Chris offer up a few helpful hints for finding wine to pair with the foods you love.
We pay homage to one of our best friends… Chardonnay. A true master of styles, a veritable chameleon, Chardonnay left behind a memorable legacy.
Pope delivers a beautiful eulogy. Chris and Jase discuss what really killed Chardonnay. Oh, and there’s a twist ending. It’s like an M. Night Shyamalan movie or something….. you’re sure to get a shock out of this one!!!
Chandon’s head winemaker, Tom Tiburzi , stops by the Wine Chat Studio to talk about his sparkling wines, favorite food pairings, and how to correctly open a bottle of bubbly. The tough questions come out as Jase throws down like Matt Lauer in this great interview. Be sure to check out part one and two of this awesome episode!!!
Champagne may be the king of sparkling wines, but it isn’t the only game in town. Here Jase suggests a couple of alternatives, and explains when and when not to shell out your hard earned cash for the real thing.
It’s getting to be that time of year. It’s hot. It’s sticky. It’s Sangria Time! Chris and Jase will run you through the basics of this red wine punch. Don’t worry, it’s easy to make… and easier to drink.
Looking for a drink that won’t tip the scales? How about Slender… 90% wine and 10% artificial sweetener! Jase and Chris taste it, and live to tell about it.
We’ve traded Chris in for a real live prince! Prinz Felix zu Salm-Salm stops by to discuss his family’s estate in Nahe, his own Rheingraf project, and German wine in general.
It’s the end of the evening, and we have a half bottle of wine left. What to do!?!
