Wine Line - Wine Education and Tasting Podcast

This week, I am paying homage to one of Burgundy’s premier winemakers, Michel Lafarge. Mr. Lafarge, an 86 year old “farmer” was feted at one of Manhattan’s finest food and wine venues, Batard, with his son Frederic and daughter-in-law Chantal. 55 worldly gastronomes traveled to New York to join in the event. Listen as I detail the events of the evening and learn about a scion of Burgundy.    Timely Wine News discusses how we perceive aroma and taste as we age. Grey hair and wrinkles are unavoidable consequences of age, but what does  the passing of time do to our senses of smell and taste?   And, in the tasting portion of this week’s show, “The Gang of Wine” will let you know what they think about F. Stephen Millier’s Angel’s Reserve Shiraz, Lodi, 2013 from www.nakedwines.com. I have paired this wine with a slow braised Lamb Shoulder. Get the recipe at my website, www.winelineradio.com.
