Description
Hi friends, welcome back! I now release the show on Tuesdays, so if you were thinking that I missed the release day yesterday... well, I did. BUT it was intentional.  Ever wanted to try wine from a still active volcano? Maybe you have been sitting at home wondering to yourself about the origins of Carricante, or just hoping that one day Kylie Minogue will start making wine - well it's all here in this weeks episode on the dry wines of Sicily. Just to clarify, Kylie Minogue is not making wines in Sicily, she is making wine in Australia which makes more sense, but it somehow snuck it's way into the episode today.  I have some great resources:  The Oxford Companion to Wine, 4th Edition by Jancis Robinson  Native Wine Grapes of Italy by Ian D'Agata  Wine Grapes by Jancis Robinson, Julia Harding and Jose Vouillamoz Vino Italiano, The Regional Wines of Italy by Joseph Bastianich and David Lynch  I also talk about some great wineries:  Planeta:  https://planeta.it/en/ COS:  https://www.cosvittoria.it/en/ Benanti:  https://www.benanti.it/en/ Occhipinti:  http://www.agricolaocchipinti.it/en/ If you spot something that needs correcting or you would like to request an episode you can reach out at [email protected] or check out the House Wine Instagram @housewinepodcast  This podcast is 100% independent, it is written, narrated and produced by myself, Rachael so if you heard something you liked then scroll down and leave a comment or review, that is the best way that you can support the show.  Until next week, I hope you drink something delicious!  Music Credit: Too Cool by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4534-too-cool License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

This episode is called Cyprus but it really should be called Cyprus AKA Commandaria, the story of the worlds oldest wine still made today. We cover a lot in 23 minutes with this one - The Crusades, Monks, PDO laws, native grapes but I think that the real take away here is that if you come across...
