News & Views – Re-Writing Wine’s Ancient History, Silly Money Wine, Drops of God & More
Manage episode 361281699 series 2657991
What wine news is worthy of your attention? How should you warm up your (fine) wines in an emergency? What wines are really worth paying silly money for? And which wines should we have loved...but didn't?
These are just some of the questions we dive into in this Listener Q&A episode, where we respond to your brilliant comments, feedback and questions.
And we field one other question too: are we even married to each other?!
No spoilers here... Suffice it to say that along this particularly fun ride we touch on subjects as diverse as Japanese wine anime Drops of God, wildfires in Chile, Michel Roux Jr, marriage counselling, Cahors, Malcolm Gladwell, alternatives to Grange, our infamous 20-20 wine rule, re-writing wine's ancient history, Leonardo di Caprio - and 'pan-gate'.
We also ask that most critical of questions: are you a wine cuddler...or a wine microwaver?
All details from this episode (including the juicy photos and tweets we refer to in this episode) are on our website: Show notes for Wine Blast S4 E17 - News & Views 1.
