It's the year-end finale episode! The Whine Situation is headed to spring break in Cabo!! Foam parties!! But first Dustin Lancaster (owner of Bar Covell, Augustine, Hermosillo and more!) joins Shaughn and Ellen to whine about people who are chronically late. 

The Grape of Thrones is Mourvèdre, aka Mataro aka Monastrell. Get a bottle of Bandol (the place for classic Mourvedre) and give it a try!

They pair Dustin's whine about tardiness with a wine that is from a region that was late to the party: Valle de Guadalupe! They are drinking the 2016 Bodegas Henri Lurton "Le Chenin" from Mexico. It's a major step up from the Charles Shaw Dustin and Shaughn once sipped as college roommates.

They get into how to deal with the perpetually late--better to tell them an earlier time or just be late yourself? Also, can a Los Angeleno really blame traffic for lateness when there will ALWAYS be traffic?

They get more into the wine itself--it is made with some interesting techniques by a winemaker who hails from a second cru chateau in Margaux!

The lightning round covers Dustin's favorite wine bars, the oldest winery in the new world, Bordeaux crus and what's growing in Mexico.

Cheers!
