Join Wine Pros on the Go as we pour and explore Rioja, a place that reminds us that patience isn't just a virtue, it is a way of life. This is the land of Tempranillo, oak, time and quiet confidence. Rioja taught the world how to age gracefully, and we're here for it.

Discover Rioja's origin story, ancient history, soil: the quiet architect, top growing sites, superstar subregions, cellaring, service, glassware, decanting, pairing cuisine like a native, aging levels, decoding Spanish labels, silly fun facts, classic aromas/flavor profiles, best producers, similar wines worth buying, and more. This is Rioja. Olé!

Today, we're celebrating the heart of France and the soul of Beaujolais with a very special guest: Philippe Audibert, respected importer, storyteller of terroir, and the driving force behind Old Creek Imports. Philippe has spent years curating some of the most expressive, small-production French wines —championing growers who honor place, heritage, and tradition.

In this episode, we dive into the vibrant hills of Beaujolais, the artistry of Gamay, and the cultural heartbeat behind one of France's most joyful and expressive wine regions. From the deeper crus to the festive spirit of Beaujolais Nouveau, Philippe brings us an insider's lens shaped by decades of passion, partnership, and time spent among the vineyards and vignerons who make this region so iconic.

So pour a glass, settle in, and join us as we uncork France—with importer and French wine ambassador, Philippe Audibert.
