The TallMikeWine Podcast

Mike and his pal Kyle Stoner, a guest from a couple of years ago, into the lesser known Coombsville AVA of Napa, where they visit Shadybrook Estate and Caldwell Vineyard! They eat plenty of charcuteri, wander caves at both wineries, chat about life, sip wine, laugh, get a little confused at some point, it's all good! ALSO: this episode will forever be known as the "terra cotta pants" episode. Listen to hear why!

Amy Tyler, host of The Redfern Book Review Podcast, joins Mike for another fun chat about books one might read this summer. This is Amy's fourth visit to the show, also notable because THIS is the 100th episode of The TallMikeWine Podcast!!! Of course they also go off on tangents about things; soccer, German metal band Scorpions, and Mike teaches you how to make Rosé. Pour yourself a glass and sip along!

You hear about them, whenever wine is discussed, those French Oak Barrels. But what does it all really mean? Mike has an in-depth chat with Gerhard Ziemer, who knows a LOT about barrels! They talk about other things, too, and sip some delicious wines. But it's one of the geekiest episodes EVER!! So enjoy it.

Waaaay back in 2021 Hiro was Mike's guest on episode #5. Hiro was at the time, and still remains the youngest guest to apear on the show. The guys theorize as to why "the youths" aren't getting into wine in a big way, and what that means for the industry as a whole. Also Hiro tells us what he's up to now, how his winery came to close, and of course wines are sipped and discussed! It's a great and mellow chat.
