Meet the Teinturiers | S4E4

This episode explores grapes with colored flesh or pulp known as teinturiers. Having only a top-level knowledge of these grapes - that they exist - your host thought it would be fun to track down a little more information about them.

Why do we mainly hear about Alicante Bouschet? Who can name other teinturiers? What about history? Prohibition you say? We dig into all of this in under 20 minutes.
