The Red Sauce Podcast

Welcome to the Red Sauce Podcast with Papa Joe, where we talk about anything and everything Italian and Italian American. I’m your host, Papa Joe, head winemaker, ”il capo vinaio,” at Piazza Talarico and Papa Joe’s Wine Cellar. Joining me are my daughters, Katie (Piazza Talarico’s front of house manager and former student of Italian language and culture), and Beth (our head cook and gangster movie aficionado). New episodes drop biweekly.

Friday Jan 05, 2024

In this episode, we talk about all the notable Italian Americans in sports, why we love the New York Yankees and the Green Bay Packers (because of their Italians, of course!), and why one specific hockey coach will always be a favorite personality to the Talarico family.  Sorry, we recorded this shortly before Tommy Cutlets’ short lived fame…  

Thursday Oct 12, 2023

We're back after a long break. On this episode, we have a special guest, our very own Tom Hagen (Katie and Beth's brother and Papa Joe's son Matt Black). We discuss why Italian Americans love Mafia movies (even though, as everyone knows, the Mafia does not exist).

Wednesday Jul 05, 2023

In this episode, we start off with a few updates on the future of Papa Joe's Wine Cellar and jump into tasting some really good Southern Italian wines that Katie has chosen for us.

Sunday May 07, 2023

Our guests this episode are Patrick and Jess O'Shea, two of our best customers and best friends. We discuss many of the great times we have had with them since we opened Piazza Talarico.

Thursday Mar 30, 2023

In this episode of the Red Sauce Podcast, we discuss our very own Papa Joe's Vino da Tavola (table wine). A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, and Cabernet Franc, it is typical of wines that were traditionally called "Dago Red." If you are wondering how we can talk for 45 minutes about one wine from one small winery, this episode, as are most of our podcasts, is rife with our usual bullshit digressions.

Tuesday Feb 21, 2023

Today we discuss the characteristics of Southern Italian Style wines and what differentiates them from the Tuscan, Bordeaux, etc. wines.  

Monday Feb 06, 2023

In this episode, we talk about Italian cured meats and our own experience with curing mostly Southern Italian salume (not to be confused with salami).  As you have come to expect, this episode is full of bullshit Papa Joe digressions, as well as a few from Katie and Beth.
