This episode we are chatting with Sommelier Rafael Castro in the gorgeous Latin American Restaurant Paladar. No surprise that the theme is on South America, however, we all brought along a bottle of Chilean wine. Viva Chile. Rafael tells us how he goes about building a complete wine list when he only uses wines from South America, and we discuss the exciting things about Chile, with its wild vines, no phylloxera, their innovations, and evolutions. We talk about why Malbec is loved so much, and Burgundy even gets a mini appearance, discussing a few dramas from the region. Janina gets overly dramatic about the weather, and we all get to hear about Jons new love of his life: A dog! And as usual, going off-piste: we talk about the most expensive flight in the world at $18,000 and Julian Assange hiding in Equador ( who? Yes Janina still doesn’t know ). Wines tasted are the Lapostelle Grand Selection Semillon 2014, Pais Salvaje Blanc 2018 by Bouchon and the 2012 La Ronciere, Solares. Salud everyone!
