I think we’d all secretly like to be rich, but no one wants to act like a rich person. Throw Champagne bottles into the Mediterranean? Hell no. Complicate divorce proceedings by building a $1 million pool at a wine château? Eh, no thanks. Make SANGRIA with 2006 PETRUS?! NO!
On Ep. 167, we discuss rich peoples’ wine foibles, then dive into the real news: vine saboteurs, bodily toxins, stone statues on Easter Island, and an oenophile’s Disneyland in Russia. Tune in!
From north to south, the wine news is…
- Mysterious brain diseases in Canada are cause for concern.
- Vladimir Putin forks out rubles for rosés and reds.
- Vine saboteurs are horrible, terrible, no good, very bad people.
- Chile designates new D.O.s.
