Sara and Danny are back to talk all about a fraudster that rocked the world of fine wine for years: Rudy Kurniawan. They break down just how he managed to infiltrate the world of ridiculously expensive wines without being detected and all the methods he employed to elude capture and make millions of dollars in the process. To end the show, they play a game of "My Way or The Sideways," where they are faced with a choice of either answering some obscure trivia questions about wine or trying their luck with wine-related pop culture trivia.
