In this episode we explore the region of Northern Rhone and try a Rhone White Wine to find out ‘what makes them special’. Jancis Robinson recommended to try wines from Jean Louis Chave in Saint-Joseph and having tried it we can understand why! We try a 2021 Jean Louis Chave Saint-Joseph Circa Blanc, Rhone Valley, FRANCE ($97 from Five Way Cellars). Burnt caramel, ripe peaches, chantilly cream, honeycomb. YUM! Jason also shares 5 top tips for using the Coravin, based on his mistakes, and Trent discusses wine fraud and the interesting story of Rudy Kurniawan.
