🍷 Episode 76: Cinsaut — Understated, Unforgettable, and a Little Flirty

Description: 
Hey there, wine lovers! In this episode, we’re shining a spotlight on Cinsaut — the quiet, charming red grape that’s often hiding in your favorite rosé or Rhône blend. But trust us, this grape’s got main-character energy once it steps out solo.

Here’s what you’ll sip on during this episode:

- Why Cinsaut is the ultimate team player (and sometimes underrated soloist) in the wine world 
- How it went from the backbone of blends to a go-to for juicy, chillable reds 
- Fascinating regions where Cinsaut thrives — from Provence to South Africa to Lebanon 
- Tasting notes that make it the flirty best friend of red wines: think red berries, floral vibes, and warm spice 
- Perfect food pairings for Cinsaut, whether you're planning a picnic or a relaxed Mediterranean-style dinner

If you’ve never tried Cinsaut on its own, now’s the time to give this under-the-radar grape a swirl. Like the indie band your cool friend told you about, it’s ready for a spot on your playlist — or your wine rack.
