Ep.4: The Future is Australian, with guest Jane Lopes | SLANTED+DECANTED Pod
Sommelier, importer, and author Jane Lopes joins the Slanted + Decanted crew to talk all about her new book How to Drink Australian and her new wine game show podcast.
We also learn what Australian cuisine means, Jane's hope for a sustainable wine packaging revolution, and a bit about what it was like when she found out that there was a cheating scandal the same year she passed the Master Sommelier exam.
And Cara asks the hard questions like: are kangaroos human?
