Wine Caves: Bonus Episode

Wine Caves: Bonus Episode
This is a bonus episode created from another project I was working on this month. It's got a little less corkdorkery than the original episode from way back in Season 3, but I've linked it up in case you would like to revisit it, as well as the original sourcing material. Wine Caves: Dishing the Dirt https://glassinsession.libsyn.com/s3e3-wine-caves-dishing-the-dirt Wine caves aren't just for fancy parties. Some of the most famous caves date back to Roman times and have served mankind honorably through the centuries - for many purposes in addition to storing wine. Why do we care? This episode dishes the dirt on wine caves, by going back millions of years before returning to the current era. This is the who, what, where, when and why of wine caves. Resources from this episode: Books: Champagne: The essential guide to the wines, producers, and terroirs of the iconic region (2017), Liem P.
