VinoWeek - Episode 4 - Week of March 15th 2015

March 19, 2015/ Al McCall and Bill Takacs

This week's VinoWeek podcast features Texas wine coming your way, Italian winemaking convicts, more talk about sulfites in wine and a tragic murder/suicide in Napa Valley. Jeremy Parzen pens a good post on building moratoriums and plans to ban new plantings in Tuscany. Have you ever wondered what the real cost of a $10 bottle of imported wine is? We discuss these topics along with several others and if your are on the left coast for the weekend of March 27th - 28th say hello to us at the Rhone Rangers Tasting in Richmond, California. Thanks for listening. Cheers

Vino 101

Our mission is to help demystify the world of wine. After all wine is food and once you strip away the entire pretense and snobbery what do you have left? Fermented grape juice! We want to help you get the most pleasure and the best value from the wines you purchase regardless of whether you spend $5 or $500 on a bottle of wine.
