Episode 108 - A New Study Challenges the Alcohol & Cancer Narrative

This week we're covering the Pope's first vineyard vintage, an ancient grape discovery that could rewrite modern wine history, Texas' record-breaking performance at the 2026 Decanter World Wine Awards, and a major new study finding no link between moderate drinking and cancer mortality.

We also feature Jacob Williams Winery Tasting Room in McMinnville, OR, review the 2017 Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon, visit Tierra Sur at Herzog Wine Cellars in Oxnard, CA (no corkage allowed), and spotlight Moqueca Brazilian Cuisine in Oxnard with its $20 per bottle, no-limit corkage.
