The expressions icon wines and unicorn wine are bandied around willy-nilly by the wine trade. Emily, Jamie and Doug discuss about what these terms actually mean and cite examples of wines with an inflated reputation (and whether it is merited). We speculate why wine becomes a collectible and plaything to show off on socials and mention the grey market in regard to wine trading and how it inflates the price of certain wines, putting them beyond the reach of average consumers.

We sip (and swoon over) one of the fabulous unicorns of the natural wine world: Sonorité du Vent 2019 from Domaine des Miroirs in the Jura and also sample a luxury-brand Provençal rosé, Garrus 2022 from Château d’Esclans.
