Episode 93 - AI Is Helping People Beat Expensive Wine Lists

About this episode

This episode discusses the role of AI in wine selection, satellite monitoring of vineyards, and the impact of tariffs on American wine preferences.

In today's episode, we are discussing how AI is stepping into the sommelier role, Bordeaux vineyards are now being monitored from space with hyperspectral satellites, and new data shows tariffs aren't clearly pushing Americans toward domestic wine. This week we feature Knights Bridge Winery in Calistoga, their 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon, and Trevor's at the Tracks in San Juan Capistrano with a $30 corkage fee and two bottle limit.
