Wine Trends & Egg Rolls: Pairing Wine with Global Flavors

In this thought-provoking episode of Big Blend Radio’s "Wine Time with Peggy" podcast, the conversation explores how wine is about more than what’s in the glass — it’s about savoring moments, building connections, and enjoying time with friends. Peggy Fiandaca, co-owner of Arizona’s LDV Winery, discusses wine trends, wellness, and the evolving ways people experience wine today.

The episode dives into the influence of Blue Zones and longevity lifestyles, the growing popularity of white wines and rosés, and how moderation and wellness trends are shaping wine consumption. Peggy also shares insights into the art of wine blending, sustainability in winemaking, and why understanding your personal wine preferences enhances tasting experiences.

Listeners will also hear how cultural influences shape food and wine pairings, why cooking techniques matter when pairing wine with global flavors, and how supporting local wineries helps communities thrive — especially amid industry challenges like tariffs and shifting markets.
