In this edition of This Week in Wine Charlie and Jack discuss different techniques to make wines, the different styles of wines, and the different grapes used to make the flavors of wine. Jack starts once again with white wines talking about the different styles, from light to aromatic wines, such as, Riesling and Pinot Grigio. Then Charlie and Jack talk about what gives a wine it flavor. Why do some wines have a fruity flavor and some an oaky flavor? This installment also touches on how they make Rose wines and Fortified wines like Sherry and Ports. Jack will also give pointers on how to tell when a wine turns and what to do if you suspect a wine you ordered at a restaurant is no longer good. Again, this week in wine features Charlie Sykes and Jack Weissgerber, the Wine Director for the Seven Seas Restaurant on Lake Nagawicka and the Seabird Restaurant on Lake Michigan in Sheboygan.  

The current installment of "This Week in Wine" continues to demystify choosing a bottle of wine.  Charlie and Jack spend a short time discussing the history of wine before introducing Malbec, a relatively new type of wine, to the listener.  Later in the show, Jack makes some suggestions about what types of wines you should consider trying the next time you order a delicious steak.  Again, this week in wine features Charlie Sykes and Jack Weissgerber, the Wine Director for the Seven Seas Restaurant on Lake Nagawicka and the Seabird Restaurant on Lake Michigan in Sheboygan.
