007. What's ACTUALLY in Your Wine? We're Spilling!

12/23/24 • 53 min

What’s REALLY in your wine? As your two California wine industry insiders, we’re spilling the tea (or wine, in this case).
We kick off the conversation by digging into a recent controversy in the wine industry: winemaker Adam Lee's provocative ad comparing sugar levels in his Dial Tone Pinot Noir to the popular Meiomi Pinot Noir. This is a topic you will NOT want to miss—trust us, it’s juicy!
Our conversation expands to the broader implications for the wine industry around transparency of how wine is really made, the use of additives, and current trends around health consciousness.
We also chat about the differences in wine labeling practices between the U.S. and other countries and why this is so important, and the growing consumer demand for ethical and transparent wine production.
