Episode description

One of the most frustrating experiences in drinking wine can be figuring out what wine is actually inside that bottle! How the hell can you read a label that often is in a foreign language and you don't know if it is telling you who made it, where it was made, what it was made with, or what sandwich the winemaker ate while making the wine. Or worse, you went and told your wine friend that you love the Chablis grape or the Rioja grape only to get a giggle and an odd look. Damnit, those aren't grapes are they?  I'll spend the better part of an hour talking through some better ways to read a grape, some tricks and tips around popular regions and grapes around the world to help you navigate the shelf.
