Sips of the Week
Mark Oldman joined us to talk about some brave new wines for summer. Mark is passionate about helping wine enthusiasts jostle the jaded, slay the snooty, and drink bravely and is one of the country’s leading wine personalities. He is an award-winning author, wine expert for Pottery Barn, wine columnist for The Food Network, and tv judge on PBS. Mark’s signature style was best summed up by Bon Appètit as “winespeak without the geek” and by Publishers Weekly as “the ideal mix of wine connoisseur, showman, and everyday dude.” His books, Oldman’s Brave New World of Wine and Oldman’s Guide to Outsmarting Wine both won the Duboeuf Best Wine Book of the Year Award. Mark suggested these types of wines:
- Vinho Verde from Portugal – crisp, fritzy and perfect with seafood
- Falanghina from Italy – more complex and interesting than Pinot Grigio with many of the same characteristcis
- Beaujolais from Burgundy – Fruity, food friendly acidity and a red you can chill in this heat
