| #701-Discovering Australian
Wine |
People conjure up all sorts of images when it comes to
Australia: the Sydney Harbor Bridge and Sydney Opera House,
Melbourne’s exciting Australian Open tennis tournament,
that strange beast that is Australian rules football. But,
for me, when I think about Australia, I think about wine-great
wine. That’s what this show is all about-fantastic
wine. Our hosts are the McWilliam’s family
as we visit two of their estates-Lovedale in the heart of
the historic Hunter Valley north of Sydney, and Lillydale
in the Yarra Valley outside Melbourne. From Semillion
to Shiraz, and everything in between, learn what makes these
regions, and these wines, so wonderful! |

#702-Magical Mazatlan
|
|
A pearl on the Pacific Ocean, Mazatlan is waiting to be
discovered. This is “real” Mexico,
with a history dating back hundreds of years, an historic
center being re-developed into a mecca for food, art, and
entertainment, and some raw products that are truly amazing. They
call Mazatlan, the “shrimp capitol,” and with
good reason. Its shrimp boat fleet is one of
the largest in North America. We’ll visit
the market and check out the fresh goods. We’ll
also sample some of the finest resorts Mazatlan has to offer:
El Cid, Costa de Oro, and Emerald Bay. Beautiful,
accessible, and delicious-can you ask for anything more? |

#703-California Wine Classics
Louis Martini-Gallo Family
Estates
|
Sonoma County and The Napa Valley-are there any two areas
more synonymous with American wine?
And, if you love Californian wine, then you can’t miss this program. We’ll
start in Sonoma at one of the county’s most prominent wine estates-Gallo
Family Estate. Led by brother and sister team, Matt and Gina Gallo,
Gallo Family Estates launched the Gallo family into the fine winemaking business. These
days, the terroir-driven wines from Gallo’s Frei Ranch have never been
better! On the Napa side, my attention turns to the wines of Louis
Martini-a venerable estate turning out stunning world-class wines. Led
by longtime winemaker Mike Martini, the wines of Louis Martini cover both Napa
and Sonoma, and they do so beautifully. Come inside the making of
some of the best wines in Northern California, and in fact, all of the world! |

#704-My Old Kentucky Home
|
Kentucky can’t possibly be as beautiful as all of
those images we see around the running on the Kentucky Derby,
right? Wrong! And, this state isn’t
just beautiful, it’s also delicious! In
my opinion, there’s little more delicious, and nothing
more indigenous, in Kentucky than bourbon. In
this case, it’s the bourbons of Buffalo Trace distillery. The
largest distillery in the state, Buffalo Trace is forging
a new future in an old industry, offering a wide variety
of bourbons to please every palette. Out of bourbon
country and into the city of Louisville, I’ve got some
exciting cuisine to track down. I’ll stop
at four of Louisville’s finest eateries, each with
its own distinct style. I’ll also anchor
my stay at the historic Brown Hotel right in the heart of
downtown. My old Kentucky home? If
it tastes like this, I’m moving in! |
