Subscriber-Only Bonus Content
Summary
We were never going to pass up a unique chance to taste 12 Super Tuscans blind, including some truly stellar names (hello Sassicaia, Tignanello, Flaccianello, Solaia…and thank you, UK importer Maisons Marques et Domaines).
And we thought: what better way to thank you, our fabulous subscribers, than with an in-depth report from the tasting, including our considered thoughts on the category and its future?!
There are some eye-opening results…and a fair amount of, ahem, ‘discussion’.
We’ve even got some cheeky value recommendations at the end as well.
This is our first subscriber-only bonus episode, and we hope you enjoy it.
It’s a bit more informal and conversational in style, so hopefully a nice complement to the main episodes.
Thank you for supporting the show – we really appreciate it. Further bonus content will be following soon.
