Episode 125 - Natural Wine (Part II)

In this part two of this natural wine crash course with certified sommelier Joey Fox, some of the topics we discuss include: Why the term "natural" in natural wine encounters some of the same definitions issues as many products in the spirits world. Think "craft" or "small batch" - terms that are ambiguous and somewhat relative. Which multi-thousand dollar bottle of wine has been quietly produced as a natural wine without really any public knowledge. How Joey and other winemakers make progress on their craft and share ideas to advance natural wine in the public view. What the term "biodynamic farming" means, and what it holds for the future of both sustainability and flavor. How Old Westminster winery is undertaking a cool new project with hybrid grapes that could revolutionize the way we think about winemaking in America - a place where controlled denominations of origin aren't held in as high regard compared to elsewhere in the world. What to drink while eating street food in Japan with Anthony Bourdain And much, much more.
