Cork Dork: Inside the Weird World of Wine Appreciation
['Nicola Twilley']
Gastropod
It's tempting to dismiss the whole thing as B.S., but listen in: this episode, author Bianca Bosker takes us along on her journey into the history and science behind blind tasting, wine flavor wheels, and the craft of the sommelier. Michael Ireland's wine bar in the Inner Richmond neighborhood of San Francisco is casual, comfortable, and serves an amazing list of wines by the glass, making it the perfect venue for our impromptu blind taste test. In case you're curious, Michael Ireland kindly sent over a list of the wines he poured for us for our blind tasting at High Treason—all of which were very delicious indeed!
