The Best 5 Minute Wine Podcast - episode 5: 29 February 2020: *Discovering Hawaiian Pinot Noir: A Journey to Volcano Winery Part 2 - Welcome to The Best 5 Minute Wine Podcast. / I'm your host Forrest Kelly from the seed to the glass. Wine has a past. Our aim at The Best 5 Minute Wine Podcast is to look for adventure at wineries around the globe. After all grape minds think alike. Let's start the adventure. Our featured winery in this episode. Our featured winery is Aloha, Volcano Winery. / As we continue our interview with Kendall of Volcano Winery in Volcano, Hawaii, in our first episode, we learned that Volcano Winery is about 4000 feet high and is surrounded by volcanoes. And with that, it brings some special qualities to their appeal to what we call our Pinot Noir here on site. It's considered one of our smaller batch wines. So it's a little bit more exclusive compared to our house wines. And we take a lot of pride in our pinot noir. It's very different from any other Pinot that l've personally tasted. It's very light-bodied and super sulfuric and it's got a lot of volcanic generality and cherry tart tones and subtle tannins. And it's just very easy drinking. And it's a hit with the community and from people all over the world because, you know, Pinot Noir is known for being a very temperamental grape. And there's a lot of different regions in the world that are known for Pinot Noir. So it's kind of fun to come over here and taste it. Hawaiian Grill and Pinot Noir Grape.

As the darkness begins to inhale the light, may our gathering be a lantern to guide us through the season and into the new year.  / Beth Xx
