Loire Valley and the great re-discovery of Cabernet FrancEpisode 18May 25, 2023Don’t be fooled by the long winding river and Disney-esque castles that line it. The Loire Valley is way more than just a beautiful place to snap a photo and tour on bicycle. As the home to some of the finest Cabernet Franc’s, Chenin Blanc’s, and Sauvignon Blanc’s in the world, the Loire Valley is as prolific a region as they come. And when it comes to wine and cheese, no region can compete with the local goat cheeses and bright, textured white wines that so often accompany. And yet, the Loire Valley in some ways continues to live in the shadows of its neighboring regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But for wine lovers in the know like our guests John and Reed Skupny, the Loire Valley wines are among the best kept secret in the world - offering great pedigree, character, and value across the region. We’re thrilled to welcome John and Reed of Lang &amp; Reed who have been crafting their Loire Valley inspired Cabernet Franc’s and Chenin Blanc in Napa Valley for almost three decades and championing the region from afar in California.2020 Domaine Charles Joguet Chinon Cuvee Terroir Loire ValleyJoin the Unfiltered Podcast Wine Club 4 bottles per shipment hand selected by Vanessa and Amanda Delivered every 2 months (1 wine/episode) / 6x per year $120 + tax Shipping Included Cancel anytime 10% off all Wine Access purchases Articles Discussed Quinta do Noval declares 2021 vintage Ports Brad Pitt Teams Up with the Perrin Family and Tom Nichol to Launch the Gardener, French Riviera Gin The World's First Mountain Air Sommelier Wants to Take You on a Hike Follow us on social!IG: @wineaccessunfilteredTwitter:  @wineaccesspodOur Hosts: Amanda McCrossinShop all the wines at Wine Access

The Loire Valley and the great re-discovery of Cabernet Franc with John and Reed Skupny 

Tracey &amp; John Skupny, started Lang &amp; Reed Napa Valley in 1993 with the goal to explore the distinct charms of Cabernet Franc. Their foundation of our wine experience began working in the restaurant trade in Kansas City. Having attained positions as wine stewards (sommeliers), the lure of vineyards and wineries brought us to California in 1980, settling finally in the Napa Valley by 1984. Named after their two sons, J Reed and Jerzy Lang. When Reed entered the wine business he decided to spend a harvest working in the Lorie Valley where he discovered Chenin Blanc. Enjoy this show hearing about this truly family owned and operated winery. Cheers [EP231] www.langandreed.com @langandreed

The Wine Makers – Lang & Reed Wines, John and Reed Skupny

This episode features the father and son team crafting Cabernet franc and Chenin blanc wines led by long-time Napa Valley baller, John Skupny, who first crushed grapes for their brand, Lang and Reed, in 1993. Reed Skupny joined his father after working for several wineries in France and Napa Valley, and was the driving force to bring Chenin blanc into their small portfolio. I used to work with Reed when he was at Antica Napa Valley and I was working for Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars, but had recently had the chance to get to know John. We recorded this podcast with social-distancing in mind and it leaves the audio quality a bit rough at moments, but John and Reeds’ stories are more than worth it.

At the start of 2020 we know what is on your mind. As winemakers and winegrowers we are thinking about keeping our vines healthy while producing consistent quality yields year in and year out. However, we know that you are also considering the effects of climate change on our vineyards and wines and the improved management of our natural resources like water. We have great news. Now, we, winegrowers and winemakers, can use a compelling method that allows us to keep our vines healthy and improve yield and grape quality while also saving water and reducing costs. We are happy to inform you that this is possible. The method is called 360viti-Water Pilot and is base on sap flow sensors technology. This impressive technology developed by Fruition Sciences is based on more than ten years of experience show stunning results in California, Australia, and France. The method measures and monitors the transpiration rate of your vines so you can make sure that they receive the right amount of water at the optimal time. You will precisely know when your vines need water so that you can respond appropriately, keeping them healthy and performing at their optimal levels. Because this measurement is plant based, you will be able to target and address the needs of the specific vines or areas of your vineyards, improving the quality of your grapes when it comes time to harvest. Given the latest heatwave episodes this will be a necessary measure to keep your vines safe. Please contact the Fruition Sciences team today. Together we will change the way we use our precious resources while taking care of our beloved vines.
