This is the first episode of Spill the Wine that doesn't include a wine tasting! The conversation
Andrea Morris had with Thomas Bacherlder – owner/winemaker of Bachelder Estates was so
interesting it needed a full episode to itself. Thomas' journey as a winemaker began in Montreal,
then led to Burgundy, Oregon and finally, Beamsville, which has the climate and terroir for
making the Burgundy style wines he loves– Pinot Noir and Chardonnay (and Gamay too!) You
will learn about the difference between Domaine and Chateau wineries, what "mapping" a
region means, and the terroir differences between the Bench and Niagara wine regions.
Thomas also explains elevage, the aging of wine in barrels and goes into detail about the
effects both old and new barrels have on the taste of wine. He even provides some fun ideas to
help you plan a trip to the Bench wine region. You will DEFINITELY learn a lot about
winemaking from this episode.
