Episode 82 - The U.S. Quietly Drops Alcohol Limits in New Dietary Guidelines

from This Week Uncorked · host Brett Martin

This week we break down how wine quietly dodged strict alcohol limits in the new U.S. dietary guidelines, why Idaho's Snake River Valley is gaining serious momentum as an emerging wine region, examine devastating wildfires ripping through Victoria's wine country, and revisit a master-level rethink of whether wine scores actually mean what we think they do. We also feature Sparacia Witherell Family Winery & Vineyards, spotlight the Cullen Diana Madeline Red Wine 2022, and wrap up with Limoncello Fresh Italian Kitchen, which offers a $35 corkage fee with no bottle limit.   Wine News Round-Up: ♦️ Wine Dodges Dietary Guidelines Bullet ♦️ Unlikely potato region becomes winemaking powerhouse ♦️ What's the Point of Points? ♦️ Wildfires Rip through Victoria Wine Country   Wine & Winery of the Week: ♦️ Sparacia Witherell Family Winery & Vineyards in Brooksville, FL ♦️ Cullen Diana Madeline Red Wine Margaret River 2022   Restaurant & Corkage of the Week: ♦️ Limoncello Fresh Italian Kitchen in Las Vegas, NV ♦️ Corkage Fee is $35 Per Bottle/No Limit 📄  SHOW NOTES 📄  Read all the stories discussed on the show ♦️ https://corkandjourney.com/episode-82-the-u-s-quietly-drops-alcohol-limits-in-new-dietary-guidelines/  👇SUBSCRIBE👇 ️ ♦️ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIe5rOLf18ZllnhaZWWQt9A?sub_confirmation=1  ️ ♦️ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/corkandjourney/  ️ ♦️ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/CorkandJourney/  ️ ♦️ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/corkandjourney/  ️ ♦️ Twitter - https://twitter.com/corkandjourney/   💰 RESTAURANT CORKAGE FEES 💰 ♦️ https://corkandjourney.com/listings    🍷 WINE REVIEWS 🍷 ♦️ https://corkandjourney.com/wines/    🏠 WINERY REVIEWS 🏠 ♦️ https://corkandjourney.com/travel/wineries/  🍽️ RESTAURANT REVIEWS 🍽️ ♦️ https://corkandjourney.com/category/food/restaurants/
