Summary

After shameless plugs for our nomination for the Best Food & Drink Podcast Award (such an honor to be nominated!), and a reminder about the wines I selected for you to check out and buy on Vinport.com, this week we delve into a thorny issue in the wine world.

We bring up arguments for both, go in circles and then ask you to send us your conclusion!

We reference an article by Jamie Goode, an excellent and noted wine writer in which you may be interested:
