Wednesday's episode covers the wines that didn't fit neatly into Monday's Tuscany deep-dive, two outstanding Bolgheri Super Tuscans from the coast, plus the one French wine that cracked the top 30 (Château de Beaucastel's stunning Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2023), and a California sparkling from Schramsberg that proved North Coast bubbles belong in any serious conversation about prestige wine.
