Episode 105 - Is GLP-1, Sports Betting & Cannabis Wine's Biggest Threat?
About this episode
This episode discusses the impact of GLP-1 drugs, sports betting, and cannabis on the wine industry, alongside a review of specific wines and restaurants.
This week we cover California vineyard values hitting rock bottom, how sports betting, cannabis, and GLP-1 weight-loss drugs are reshaping the wine business, spirits surpassing wine in global consumption, and why China could become the next great fine wine success story. Plus, we feature Portree Cellars in Johnson City, Texas, review the Tenute del Cabreo "Il Borgo" Super Tuscan Blend 2018, visit Dahl & Di Luca Ristorante in Sedona, Arizona (where corkage is not allowed), and spotlight The Black Sheep in Las Vegas with its $35 per bottle corkage fee (2-bottle maximum).
