Podcast

I'm Anthony Gismondi, and for over 40 years, I've been exploring the stories behind the wines we love. From BC's Okanagan Valley to the world's great wine regions, I've shared my journey through columns, radio, and thousands of tasting notes. Now, on the Gismondi on Wine Podcast, I invite you to join me for in-depth conversations with winemakers, chefs, and wine industry leaders. Together, we'll uncork the history, passion, and craft that go into every wine — a drink that has been an elixir to humans for 8,000 years.

Winemaker Dave Marchand believes the South Okanagan desert environment is the perfect setting to add a touch of Tuscan flair, Bolgheri and Maremma style to his wines. He joins us to introduce you to a concept whose time has arrived.
