Description
Listen in to Omnibus 22 to hear this month’s wine news from around the world. In the US, Elin McCoy discusses the reaction to the collapse of Underground Cellars and the unhappy customers who cannot retrieve their wine from the company’s Cloud cellar. She also reviews the Apple TV plus series “Drops of God” and Ferran Adrià’s new eight-part book series on wine, the first two volumes (weighing between 15 and 20 pounds each) have just been translated into English. Sarah and Elin are excited about the new and promising direction for wine in restaurants – Ridge Vineyards has launched an on-tap programme with restaurant group Sixty Vines - goodbye bottles and labels? John Stimpfig is happy to report that there is a breakthrough on smoke taint by Oregon University, which will help vintners detect it with more accuracy. He also reports on the first prices announced in the 2022 Bordeaux Campaign, Fleurie’s application for Premier Cru status, looks back on the life of Lucien Lurton and, of course, no Omnibus would be complete without a weather watch.
