    Nov 12 2024
    Welcome to episode 2157 of the Italian Wine Podcast, and episode 165 of Wine, Food & Travel with Marc Millon. Marc’s guest today is Luigi Di Majo Norante of Di Majo Norante winery in the Molise region of southern Italy. More about today’s guest: Luigi Di Majo Norante is the Sales Manager for Di Majo Norante Wines. After completing his studies in Canada and Belgium, he honed his expertise in winemaking through valuable experience at the Famiglia Cotarella Estate. Passionate about wine culture, Luigi is committed to making wine more approachable for younger generations, bridging tradition with modern tastes. His goal is to inspire a deeper appreciation for wine, encouraging new consumers to explore its rich heritage while promoting responsible and enjoyable consumption. Di Majo Norante is a pioneering winery located on the scenic coast of Molise, a region often described as Italy’s best-kept secret. While Molise may be one of the country’s lesser-known areas, Di Majo Norante has put it on the map for wine lovers across the world. Founded with a commitment to preserving the region’s rich viticultural heritage, the estate has been producing high-quality wines for over five generations, making it the first winery in Molise and one of the first in southern Italy to focus on qualitative wine production. One of the winery’s key guiding principles is sustainability, not only in the vineyards but in every stage of production. Since the early 1970s, Di Majo Norante has committed itself to organic farming practices, long before it became a widespread trend. Their methods respect the natural balance of the ecosystem, using no synthetic chemicals or pesticides, and nurturing the land for future generations. The winery's portfolio includes a wide range of wines, from elegant reds to fresh whites and sparkling varieties, each one made with precision and care. Their flagship wines, such as the rich and robust Sassius and the elegant Don Luigi Riserva, have garnered international recognition and awards, showcasing Molise’s potential as a world-class wine-producing region.

    Ep. 2156 Jessica Dupuy interviews Vincent Morrow | TexSom 2024
    Nov 11 2024
    Welcome to Episode 2156, in which Jessica Dupuy interviews Vincent Morrow live from TEXSOM 2024! Vincent is a Master Sommelier, educator and consultant wine director at PRESS Restaurant, Napa Valley. Join us as Texas-based wine journalist Jessica Dupuy interviews top writers, journalists, sommeliers, and wine professionals at this renowned event. In this special series, Jessica will delve into the experiences and insights of key attendees, exploring career paths, challenges, and the latest trends in the wine industry. More about today’s guest: Vincent Morrow has earned a long list of accolades. In 2022 alone, he was named the Michelin Guide California’s Sommelier of the Year, VinePair’s Next Wave Sommelier of the Year, and the Iconoclast Dinner Experience Wine Honoree. Vincent has been shepherding the largest collection of Napa Valley wines in the world as Wine Director at PRESS Restaurant, helping the wine program earn its first Wine Spectator Grand Award in 2022. The recognition is noteworthy as PRESS is only one of two restaurants in the world to receive this distinction for a regionally focused wine list. A soccer scholarship prompted the Phoenix native’s move to California to study at Sonoma State University. Though it wasn’t the proximity to Wine Country that drew him there, he eventually chose wine business strategies and marketing as the concentration for his degree. Vincent has demonstrated his incomparable drive as a star soccer player, avid surfer, and Muay Thai practitioner – as well as his devotion to wine study. A Master Sommelier before the age of 31, he studied for the exam while working as a sommelier at two Michelin-starred San Francisco restaurants concurrently – one-starred Gary Danko and three-starred Benu. His résumé also includes time at ONE65 in San Francisco and Chef Thomas Keller’s The French Laundry in Yountville. Vincent’s earlier achievements include being named 2016 USA Champion in the TopSOMM Young Sommelier Competition. He entered the 2017 Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Jeunes Sommeliers Compétition, winning the USA Championship and placing 3rd overall in the world. His long-term goal, though, is to expand the diversity of the wine industry, increase access to wine education and mentorship, and to help elevate underrepresented wine professionals. As Chairperson of the Diversity Committee of the Court of Master Sommeliers, he has been a member of a leadership team that has inspired industry change both internally in the organization and externally in the wine & hospitality industries.

Dupuy’s work has appeared in Food & Wine, Wine Enthusiast, Imbibe, Texas Monthly, Forbes, SevenFifty Daily, GuildSomm, VinePair, and Southern Living.
