Kaz and Randy are determined to stuff your head full of all the latest wine news and information, because they are (or at least claim to be) the Encyclopedia of Useless Information! Also, Wine Biz host emeritus Eric Aho calls in from the retirement chateau to ask about wine competition and scruples.
Mentions in this episode:
- Napa Valley Wine & Grape Expo

- Robert Parker and questions of conflict of interest surrounding the wineries he reviews
- Napa Valley Wine Radio “exposes” the practice of using oak chips
- Unified Wine & Grape Symposium at the end of January ’08
- Tom Wark discusses golf and tasting rooms, then goes on to profile Jeff Mayo and Mayo Family Winery
- Philadelphia wine consumers are curious about corked wines
- “Millenials” are, more and more, going for wine
