Wine Insiders is celebrating our 39th Anniversary this year, so for today’s episode we’re going to go old-school, then old-world. For our Anniversary edition, we are going old-school to introduce you to our very first ever Wine Insiders panelist, Chris Hoel. We’ll hear his origin story, a journey from wine newbie to sommelier at the French Laundry, a restaurant created by legendary chef Thomas Keller’s in the heart of California wine country. Next, we’ll go old-school and journey back to 1982, the year our very first customers placed their orders for wine and a famous vintage year for Bordeaux and Burgundy. Finally, we’ll talk about these world-renowned appellations in France, then taste the flavors of both with four excellent wines from our collection.
