Get ready to uncork some fun as we go on a tantalizing tasting journey with WSET-certified wine industry insider, Charles Imperatori. This isn’t your ordinary wine tour, folks. This episode is all about our childhood vineyard visits, exploring wine regions like Mendoza and Patagonia, and of course, our hilarious adventures in Tuscany, Italy, and our first taste of Garapa. We'll even spill the beans on the unique wine laws in various states and the challenges of shipping the good stuff.
Ever heard a wine glass described as terrifying? Sit tight, because you're about to! Charles takes us through an extensive glassware discussion and shares the ins and outs of working at Cairdeas' Winery. We also explore our favorite Seattle wineries, and yes, there might be tipsy tales from the tasting rooms. Be it our first intoxicating experience in Italy or the interesting questions that customers pop in tasting rooms, we've got stories that'll leave you on a high note.
Finally, what's a conversation about wine without a touch of hip hop? You heard that right! We uncork the unexpected connection between wine education and hip hop culture, discussing the influence of wine critics and revealing our personal love for Burgundy-style wines. We also dive into the world of unique AVAs in Washington state, and the strange laws surrounding production facilities and tasting rooms. Pour yourself a glass, sit back, and join us for this wine-infused extravaganza. Trust us, you're in for a treat!
