As you saw earlier this week, Mon Jan 20 marks the publication of my interview with Olivier Bourdet-Pees @plaimont_vignerons
-
Today's preview clip features Olivier discussing the local culture and the role that the Plaimont co-operative plays in the community.
With around 5-10% of the local population works directly with Plaimont.
-
This is a huge departure from what might initially come to mind when thinking of the traditional co-operative model.
-
This integration stretches far beyond employment and there are local fairs and events held throughout most of the year. Perhaps the best know being the Marciac Jazz Festival 2025 @jazz_in_marciac
-
No wonder this is a popular region for tourism, which in rural communities like this is so important!
-
Can't wait to share the full episode with you on Monday at 8am UK time!

🍷👌🏽Starting 2025 off in great company.
-
Mon Jan 20 is the publication date of my interview with Olivier Bourdet-Pees @plaimont_vignerons - Olivier donning the traditional beret, signature of Plaimont Vignerons
-
🎙️I'll be previewing the conversation over the coming days.
-
🍇Starting today with an insight into what the younger consumer is looking for. I'm so happy that the analogy of fruit and vegetables (the farmer's market) came up.
-
Connection to our food. Who made it. And how they made it is a trend that's not going away. Being an agricultural product. Wine can use this to its advantage.
-
Lot's more to come on Mon Jan 20.
-
6️⃣The whole episode covers all Six Wine Stories.. covering people, culture, geography, geology, viticulture and winemaking

-
🙌🏽I enjoyed so many things about our conversation. One of them was getting a real insight into what it's like to move to a new country.
-
How it feels to not know anyone outside of work. Not knowing the language or the culture.
-
⏳This clip goes to show that it takes time. And that Milena has developed an awareness of what each vintage brings and its importance for everyone connected with wine in Burgundy
-
We also talk @vinhiphop including @realwolfofwine and the inaugural @terraexhibition

@a.wickhoff.76 of @weingutbruendlmayer was a recent guest as part of the #mosaicofwine series
-
💬This was a really surprising conversation. Andreas and the team are doing great things at the winery and I was lucky enough to visit back in 2019 as part of @austrianwine #winesummit Down the Danube
-
🤔I really loved that Andreas posed the difficult questions to me. Does wine have a right to exist?
-
⏳And I took from this clip, are we changing quickly enough to remain relevant to those outside of the wine bubble?
-
💡I think the time for more creativity and experimentation when it comes to communication is right now
-
What do you think of the topic? I'd love you to join the conversation!
-

🇦🇹🇬🇪What you may not know is she counts on harvest experience from countries including Georgia and Austria.
-
🙏🏽And during this conversation we reflect on the cultural learnings from those experiences.
-
🍇As well as the bigger change Bree is working towards both in the way wine is communicated and marketed. But literally how it's grown.
-
💬Encouraging debate about the future place of Oregon wine and the Willamette Valley brand
-
🥂We also make a special announcement about the session I'll be leading at the next @orwinesymposium in February 2025

I've been wanting to share this since tasting the CU wine at the recent wines of Vojvodina tasting in London
