Episode 104 - France Has a New Favorite Drink... and It Isn't Wine13 jul14 min

In this episode of This Week Uncorked, we cover Opus One's stunning estate redesign, France drinking more beer than wine for the first time in history, Napa Costco's grapevine pest scare, and the search for answers as the U.S. wine industry faces declining sales and changing consumer habits.

We also feature Ron Yates Wines in Hye, Texas, review the Les Grandes Serres GSM 2017, visit Eddie V's in Austin (where corkage is not allowed), and spotlight Craft Omakase's generous $60-per-bottle, no-limit corkage policy.
