Carter and I have a discussion on a new term we've coined, "Wine Raisin".  In the whiskey world there are things that one can do, say or ask that would make them a "whiskey tater". Whiskey Tater is a term that has been around for a while and is know around the globe.  We take this metric and apply it to the world of wine.  It's a fun discussion, we acknowledge that we are also Wine Raisins, all of us our.  This conversation discusses what we think some of the things that would make you a Wine Raisin.
