67: It’s All Fake! (Nanook of the North vs Chianti Classico)

You're Gonna Need a Bigger Bottle

Part 6 of our Court of Master Sommeliers Curriculum miniseries
Can Scott successfully defend the first ever feature documentary while simultaneously pointing out all the ways that it’s total bunk? Will Jamie make a compelling argument that maybe all the Chianti minutiae he’s memorized is actually not that useful to know? Have our intrepid hosts solved all the problems of education in their respective fields? Definitely not, but they sure do keep talking about them. Put your feet up in your newly built igloo with a glass of Chianti and press play on this brand new episode!
