Reading Between the Wines episodes

  • Episode 6 - The Guest List and a Champagne Toast
    You are invited to an Irish Wedding on a secluded foley where Will Slater, the host of the hugely popular television show ‘Survive the Night’ is tying the knot. The intrigue and backstory in this whodunnit puts the slain in ‘Slainte’ as Will has difficulty surviving the night himself. The complexity of the plot is a perfect pairing for the Dom Pérignon champagne used to toast the nuptials. Learn the difference between perlage and mousse as all of the characters’ issues bubble over in The Guest List.
    Like the muselet that holds back the pressure on the champagne, the wedding releases all the pent up anger from the guests and like champagne, revenge is best served cold.

    What if you had 3 chances to change your life, but you'd already used 2 of them? This is the position Kate finds herself in when she fails the Master of Wines exam twice knowing that after 3 times she faces a lifetime ban. The journey she takes to discover her roots in winemaking and study for this prestigious test takes her to France's Burgundy region where she unearths a family history...and wine...that had been hidden for generations. We explore the wines of this famous region, especially the 2017 Comtesse de Chérisey Bois de Blagny, discussing why Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are the most common wines of the region and why the glass you drink from matters.
