Pascal Baudar - Wine Impressionism

To listen to the entirety of this episode, you must be a subscriber to the Beyond Organic Wine Substack. 

My guest for this episode is Pascal Baudar. For many of you he needs no formal introduction, so I’ll introduce him informally. I think he’s the Monet of wine. He has given me the inspiration of thinking of wines as impressionist paintings, capable of expressing more than just a landscape or regional distinctiveness, but also the tastes of individual seasons, and even the beauty of a single moment on earth. If you take a hike with Pascal you’ll be able to revisit the memory of that hike a weeks later as a unique and delicious boozy concoction. His fermentations don’t believe in nationalities or laws or borders or labels. They are playful, complex, and truly free. They hopscotch over rigid regulations and dance around strict definitions. They flirt with the possible and explore a world of living flavors without limits. His religion is the living landscape and his god is life. To extend the painter metaphor, his palette is infinite. Pascal has a beautiful mind and a great sense of humor. He’s a delight to talk to and as curious to learn as he is eager to share his knowledge.

We cover too many things to list in this conversation, but just a few teasers… sugar from insects, an incredible vinegar hack secret that he made me promise not to tell anyone, some incredible low alcohol wine ideas, and just a massive dose of inspiration and enthusiasm.
