This episode features Kieran and Kristie Robinson of R Five Wines. Both natives of Philadelphia, they are in the process of opening up a tasting room soon in Downingtown, PA. Winemaker Kieran realized his passion for wine while attending college in Upstate New York and later had the opportunity to learn from the challenges of making wine in a nontraditional wine region--the Philadelphia countryside. This interest in winemaking eventually took them both to Côte-Rôtie in Northern Rhone for an opportunity to work for Domaine Pierre Gaillard where Kieran further fostered an appreciation for the deep-rooted French viticulture and winemaking philosophies. We talk about our mutual love for the magic of the Rhône Valley and how they both then made a big move to Napa Valley where Kristie managed historical societies and museums while Kieran immersed himself in California wine country. After his tenure at Cakebread Cellars, Kieran moved to Sonoma to work under the tutelage of Paul Hobbs. Refining his skills at Jericho Canyon Vineyard with famed winemakers Aaron Pott and Michel Rolland, R Five Wines launched in the 2009 harvest focusing on Rhône varietals. Kieran continues to produce exquisite wines that are true to their time and place, and together, they are bringing a whole new frontier to the east coast wine scene. Seek out these wines for direct shipment, visit www.kieranrobinsonwines.com, and follow @r_five_wines on Instagram for all the latest updates.

Episode 3.8 - Live with Kieran and Kristie Robinson, R Five Wines

Kieran Robinson of Kieran Robinson Wine was on the podcast about 18 months ago but much has happened since then. Kieran Robinson and Kristie Sheppard Robinson share the latest -- some sad and some innovative and amazing! They have been through tough times but it sped up an idea that may just be a new model for U.S. winemakers who love both the west and east coast.   Here are the show notes:     After Kieran and Kristie share how they met, wound up in the Rhône and then moved to Sonoma, they discuss the harrowing experience of living through the fires that ravaged Sonoma Valley in 2017. Kieran and Kristie share their personal stories and how they lost their entire vintage of reds to fire. We discuss smoke taint and what it does to grapes Kieran and Kristie, Pennsylvania natives, reveal their plans to live a bicoastal wine life, living much of the year back home on the East Coast. The idea is innovative, cool and authentic -- they are designing the life they want with the bonus that it brings the wine to those of us on the east coast, and it could be inspiration for others with roots east who still want to make wine in the west.     You can find Kieran and Kristie at Underground Wine Events, D.C. and at https://www.kieranrobinsonwines.com/our-story     Thanks to our sponsors this week:  YOU!
