Mad Dog and I taught a wine class at DBA all about Buzzwords and we recorded it live! We took questions! We got off topic and then we got back on topic! This episode is all about building your vocabulary to talk about wine in ways that make sense and are accessible. And not totally douchey lol! Wines we talk about are:   2017 MicroBio, Nieva York Rosado, Segovia, Castilla y Leon, Tempranillo/Verdejo   2016 Chateau de Breze, Clos de Midi, Saumur, Chenin Blanc   2017 Wenzel, Wild and Free, Burgenland, Austria, Gelber Muskateller  * I know we discussed this already but it was so good for the buzzwords!   2012 Mas Cal Demoura, L'Infidele, Terrasses du Larzac, Syrah/Grenache/ Carignan/Cab Sauv
