If you've heard about the Great GoogaMooga, surely you know all about the expansive lineup of food vendors they feature - but did you know there's an entire wine program? On this special recording, GoogaMooga and Outside Lands Wine Director Peter Eastlake chats with Sari Kamin about some of the plans for this years GoogaMooga event and how he approaches wine at festivals at large. Find out what will be different from last year, and what festival attendees can expect to enjoy this year! For more information and tickets - visit GoogaMooga.com.
"The primitive connection is our passion points - we love eating, drinking, listening to tunes and hanging out with people. There's a confluence of all of that at GoogaMooga, Outside Lands and Bonnaroo - it's awesome. At the end of the day - you think 'oh man I have wait a whole year for this again!' " [08:00]
"It's fun to show people wine they probably would never try. You really have to have a cross section of wines - what's exciting, interesting, classic, new, real deal [and more]." [11:00]
--Peter Eastlake, wine director at GoogaMooga on HeritageRadioNetwork.org

The legendary Mondavi Family joins Joe Campanale for a very special episode of In The Drink. Joe is in studio with Michael, Rob Jr., and Dina Mondavi who share stories and insights about their winemaking process, maintaining the family business and the special terroir of the Napa valley. Tune in as they taste three different wines on air - The 2010 Emblem Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, The M by Michael Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon and The Isabel Mondavi Chardonnay. Find out what plans are on the horizon for the historic family winery and how each of the Mondavi's does everything they can to continue the traditions and consistency of quality that Robert Mondavi started! This program was sponsored by The International Culinary Center.
"The original Chardonnay's were made in large redwood or concrete tanks - they weren't made in stainless steel or oak barrels. In the mid 70's we got into oak and like anything at first we went too far. Many Chardonnay's did not have balance - they literally fought food. I think now we've come back to where balance is important. You want the flavor of the grape, a kiss of the oak. You want it to be interesting and compliment the food, not overpower it." [7:30]
"Wine is supposed to cleanse the palate excite the taste buds and invite you to have another sip of the wine or more taste of the food." [25:00]
--Michael Mondavi on In the Drink
"Growing up Mondavi was the only life I had so I have nothing to compare it to, but it has great perks. The downside is that when you call in sick everybody comes to bring you soup when you really just wanted the day off. It's been a blessing to work in this family my favorite thing to do is come in and work with my brother and father." [29:00]
