The RAW WINE New York 2023 Fair was one of the most exciting collections of fine, natural, organic, and biodynamic wine artisans to ever come together in NYC. Held on November 12 and 13, 2023, it featured over 100 growers at 99 Scott Street in Brooklyn, NY.
This episode of HRN On Tour comes to you live from Raw Wine 2023 in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Taking place at 99 Scott, this ‘Speakers’ Corner’ event celebrates the work of Tony Coturri. Listen along as the audience tastes his 1980 vintage!. Tony Coturry tells his story in a conversation with Sam Benrubi (The Grape Nation).
I ve recently found myself on a few long drives, and thankfully I ve had my favorite wine podcasts to listen to on the road. Here are some of the wine-related podcasts I enjoy the most:
This week we are going to talk about Bordeaux 2020. The Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux was recently in NYC with over 100 wineries pouring their new 2020 vintage. I got a chance to speak with six different wineries from different regions in Bordeaux and the consensus is the 2020 vintage is excellent, the third in a trilogy of great vintages after 2018 and '19. This was a walk around tasting with hundreds of people and wineries in midtown Manhattan.
On this episode of HRN On Tour, we travel to the Raw Wine 2022 festival in Maspeth, Queens, where Sam Benrubi of The Grape Nation sat down with Vladimir Magula of the Magula Family Winery in Slovakia. The two discuss the past, present, and future of natural wine in Slovakia, working on a family vineyard, and how climate change has and will affect yields, among other topics.
