Summary

After some thanks and two awesome listener questions, we take up Cabernet Franc, the parent of some of the delicious red grapes you know!

From interesting, unexpected origins, to how it spread through France, we cover the early life story of this amazing grape.

Then comes the dork fest, with info on grape DNA, flavors, and the importance of canopy management. We discuss where this old grape grows, and the best emerging areas.

The podcast hopefully will inspire you to seek out wine made from this moderate, flavorful grape.

Hope you enjoy it!
