An exploration of Clairette de Die sparkling wines of the Northern Rhône, particularly the Méthode Dioise Ancestrale. We cover the history, grapes, styles, and winemaking, as well as the appellations ... and the wearing of capes. Yes, capes.

This is also the Season 1 finale. The Glass in Session® Winecast resumes September 2019.
