Wonderful recap of the year in wine! While working on a state food & wine pairing project for all 50 states, I had a chance to taste a Tennessee wine from Arrington Vineyards, a rose of Cab Sauv, Syrah, and Sangiovese which was quite lovely. Arrington is co-owned by Kix Brooks of Kix and Dunn - worth a try if you find yourself nearby!

Great listen. On the subject of chardonnay, your discussion about younger drinkers' lack of enthusiasm for chardonnay got me thinking. As a bartender and floor sommelier in his early thirties, I think I agree that many people my age or younger do not order chardonnay. Still, almost everybody loves white burgundy if you can get it in front of them. More than a few do not even realize Chablis is made of chardonnay. I wonder if there is some similarity to the "NO F*****G MERLOT" ideas that pervade a slightly older drinker's memory. People will quote Sideways to death but then love a glass of Saint-Emilion or Pomerol. Is it perhaps in the same vein? Does chardonnay do better when you have the historical cachet of Burgundy or Champagne?

Wonderful to listen to this. I’m now comfortably into retirement back in the UK but still as passionate about wine as Lauren credits me as being. Thanks, Ian

Thanks for a great podcast on the theory behind the theory of blind tasting. I have to say this is the first narrative that I've seen or heard that combined Hobbsian political theory, football, baseball and wine. Well done!

Not Kansas catching a stray shot on the podcast!

Quick question though. My group in Wichita is using boston round bottles to stretch out bottles. Should we consider decanting the reds before putting them in the boston round bottle, or just make sure we pour them 10-15 min prior to the tastings?
