This week on Wine Access unfiltered we go beyond the leg lamp and Red Ryder BB gun of A Christmas Story with actor-producer Peter Billingsley. From Port and cigars to family traditions and histamines in wine, this episode is anything but “Fragile.” Plus, we open one of the rarest port-style wines in existence from cult icon Williams Selyem.
