How has Oregon white wine evolved since it was first produced? Which elements make up the “classic Oregon” style of wine? How do different types of soil express themselves in wine?   In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with entrepreneur and winemaker, Eugenia Keegan.   You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks   Highlights How has Kendall-Jackson Vintner’s Reserve driven the growth of Jackson Family Wines? What’s the story behind Oregon’s white wine evolution? What makes WillaKenzie Estate like a little piece of Burgundy? Which elements make up the “classic Oregon” style? How do the two main types of soil at WillaKenzie Estate express themselves in the wine? What’s the tasting experience like for WillaKenzie Estate 2019 Pinot Noir? How does it compare to the Penner-Ash 2019 Pinot Noir? What does it mean for a wine to be full-bodied based on structure? Why do winemakers have to be careful not to over-manipulate? What’s the ideal setting for drinking wine? How can you find the right balance of wine when it comes to your health? What’s Eugenia’s relaxed perspective on wine and food pairing? Which wine books are Eugenia’s favourites? Which historical figures would Eugenia have loved to share a bottle of wine with?   Key Takeaways We hear so much about Oregon pinot noir, so I was fascinated with how Oregon white wine has evolved since it was first produced.

The Unreserved Wine Talk podcast features candid conversations with the most fascinating people in the wine world. Your host, award-winning journalist Natalie MacLean, dives into how it feels to compete in the nerve-wracking World's Best Sommelier Competition, the shadowy underground of wine forgery, the zany tactics of a winemaker who hosted a funeral for cork, and more. Nestled in these colourful stories are practical tips on how to choose wine from a restaurant list, pair it with food and spot great values in the liquor store. Every second episode, Natalie goes solo with an unfiltered, personal reflection on wine. She'll share with you how it feels to be a woman in what is still a largely male-dominated field, her gut reaction to the latest health study that says no amount of alcohol consumption is safe and her journey in writing her next book. She'll reveal these vulnerable, sometimes embarrassing, stories with tipsy wit and wisdom that she's soaked up from 20 years of writing about wine. This podcast is for wine lovers from novices to well-cellared aficionados.
