This week we're discussing whether Cabernet Franc is becoming New York's new signature grape, why even locals in Bordeaux are turning away from Bordeaux wines, Australia's debate over labeling Shiraz versus Syrah, and the remarkable discovery of the world's oldest liquid wine preserved inside a 2,000-year-old Roman funeral urn.
Our featured picks include Bingham Family Vineyards in Grapevine, Texas, the exceptional Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino 2019, El Gaucho Argentino Restaurant in Playas de Rosarito, Mexico (corkage not allowed), and this week's Corkage Feature: Mi Corazón Mexican Cuisine in Los Angeles, California, offering corkage for $20 per bottle with a two-bottle maximum.
