We are particularly excited about this podcast because we get to discuss a topic that is not usually associated with this region, and that is value. Join us as we taste through 3 wines; a white, rose, and red wine from the broader appellations of Bordeaux.

Alto Adige/Südtirol meet wine lover, wine lover meet Alto Adige (aka Südtirol). Now the two of you may not have ever met before or perhaps you just met in passing, but it’s about time you get to know each other better! That is why I am so excited to be writing this post.

Now you may be saying, wait a minute, Alto Adige is not a new thing, and you would be right, but what is new is the newfound passion for producing fresh vibrant white wines and deep inky reds from both local and international varieties.

When we say “value” we by no means mean cheap, but what we do mean is a wine that delivers way above their price point. We think we found some wines that you are going to like. We also discus some of the limitations of wine retailers and the very arcane system of wine distribution in the US.
