Loire Valley Pt 2 - Anjou Saumur

Hi everyone, I'm back! After a bit of recovery from a pretty insane week I am super excited to talk about Anjou Saumur with all of you.

Let's talk about what Natural Wine is. Let's talk about Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc and  regions that make some of the best biodynamic wines of the world. Also what is biodynamic wine? Let's figure it out!

Books I used for this episode:

The Oxford Companion to Wine 4th Edition, by Jancis Robinson

1001 Wines to Try Before You Die, Neil Beckett
