In today's episode, we discuss how Portugal's 250 native grapes raise a big question about whether diversity alone can sell wine, while the future of American wine may come down to smart, subtle changes, and Dom Pérignon makes headlines with its smallest blend ever at just 15% of a normal harvest.

This week we feature El Gaucho Winery in Spicewood, TX, the ANECDOTE Cabernet Sauvignon 2023, and CRÚ Food & Wine Bar in Plano, TX, where there's no corkage allowed.
