Ep. 174: Dock Strikes and Chip Farms

We’re celebrating wine this month, and we had to bring on Karen MacNeil of the #ComeOverOctober campaign to help us get in the spirit. Plus, we cover labor issues, family feuds, and land grabs. Ep. 174 is full to the brim with essential wine news, so don’t miss it!

In the wine world this week…

  • Dock workers struck and some wine got stuck.
  • Non-alcoholic Champagne is here and it not cheap.
  • Oregon’s governor chooses chip farms over grape farms.
  • Come on over because it’s October. 

We want your input! Rodolphe and Maggie Frerejean-Taittinger (yes, that Taittinger family) have launched a nonalcoholic sparkling wine brand that goes for upwards of $120 for their premium offering. Would you shell out that much for bubbles without booze? Reach out via Instagram or Facebook to let us know. 

The Four Top is looking for like-minded partners to help support our programming. For more information on how to get your message to the ears of wine pros and fans, click this link.
