7 SEP 2021 · In the final episode of Season 2, Moss "clears the air" (hah) regarding the very current and relevant topic of smoke taint. We discuss what smoke taint is, how it can affect grapes and wines, and what winemakers can do about it.
3 AUG 2021 · Today Moss dives into Syrah and Syrah alone, looking into the grape's unique personality, history, and role within British Columbia. Also featured are spotlights on two exemplary BC Syrah wines from local Oliver/Osoyoos wineries.
Highlights of this episode include Moss repeatedly interrupting himself and becoming disgusted with the word 'typicity.' Gross.
6 JUL 2021 · This week, Moss speaks with Sheila Whittaker, the manager of the newly rebranded Nostalgia Wines Inc (formerly known as Oliver Twist). Sheila talks about her work at the winery, how to rebrand an established operation, and the lengths she took to further her own wine education.
For his part, Moss interrupts his own question 45 seconds into the interview and takes 11 minutes to return to it.
BONUS FEATURE: Moss and Sheila play a game where they try to name a grape variety for each letter of the alphabet. The results are contentious.

1 JUN 2021 · Wine educator Moss Scheurkogel delves into the wine categorization systems of Appellations and Geographical Indications, both globally and locally in British Columbia. Sound effects are employed.
4 MAY 2021 · Moss chats with Gene Covert, the owner/operator/winemaker/vineyard manager/animal handler/butcher/handyman/organ donor/stenographer of Covert Farms Family Estate, a business with as much diversity as its owner. The conversation ranges in topics from the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the winery tasting room to the process of certifying Organic, but primarily focuses on the merits of regenerative farming and what that means for the vineyard.

11 SEP 2020 · Wine educator Moss Scheurkogel recaps the recent Half-Corked Marathon roadshow and uses the opportunity to discuss the basics of food and wine pairing: what to do, and what to avoid. Also featured: probably too much talk about picking berries in the woods, and some definitely-non-copyright-infringing Disney music.
28 AUG 2020 · Moss interviews Justin Hall (who may or may not be North America's first Aboriginal winemaker) and discusses the way in which being a winemaker has impacted and changed his life. Then they goof off a bit.Â
