seasmoke That's right. Kris Curran and the elusive Seasmoke. This month we go inside the Seasmoke cellar and take a look at some of the equipment used by Kris to produce these most sought after wines. What is a peristaltic pump, and how Kris has used state of the art technology to keep a database of her flavour profiles for every barrel. The tagstream technology helps Kris to decide what goes into Southing, Botella and Ten. Stay tuned there will be more of this interview in the coming months.


The real treat is that now we have included the Windows Media Video version as well as Quicktime. For future reference all videos will be available in both formats.
We've also noticed some of you are having problems with Internet Explorer, try the Firefox web browser instead, download it for free here.

For all our other video interviews head on over to the Screening Room.

It has been a very busy month but I have finally gotten the videos for Hospice du Rhone online and written about the event. Still pending is the Santa Barbara Vintner's Festival, and the Futures tastings at the Wine Cask and Brander not to mention a really cool event with the International Wine and Food Society.
All I will say is that the white wine to look for this summer is the 2006 sauvignon blanc under the Dora label by Gary Burke using fruit from the Faith Vineyard. Get it soon before it goes.
I also finished the first of a trilogy of videos for Peter Work over at Ampelos click here to see what Peter is up to.

There will be a lot of things being covered this month. Reviews of the 25th Annual vintners festival, the Wine Cask futures tasting, another list of wines to look for and other news from Santa Barbara wineries.

Cheers
