Episode 102 - The U.S. Wine Industry Has a Canada Problem
About this episode
This episode discusses the challenges faced by the U.S. wine industry due to Canada's regulations and international competition.
This week we're covering France's plan to remove 28,000 hectares of vineyards, Italy's push into Canada with the first Barolo & Barbaresco World Opening as U.S. wines disappear from shelves, the staggering impact of Canada's booze bans on the American wine industry, and Australia's backlash after the government slashes funding for its Wine Tourism and Cellar Door Grant program. We also review Mia Carta Tasting Room in Napa, uncork the 2019 Quintessa Cabernet Sauvignon, dine at Compline Restaurant, discuss why Jerome's Asylum Restaurant doesn't allow corkage, and spotlight RH Yountville Wine Vault's $25 per bottle corkage policy (no limit, bottle cannot appear on the wine list).
