Episode 19: Southern vs. Northern Italian Culture, Part 1

Episode 21 - Tannat: The biggest of the big reds (wine)

In this episode, we talk about one of our favorite wines: Tannat.  Papa Joe calls it the biggest of the big reds.  This wine from the Madiran region of France, was brought to the new world by Basque settlers in the mid 19th Century, and has become the national grape of Uruguay.  It only made its way to California in the 1990s, and is still sparingly grown in California and Virginia.  Papa Joe's Wine Cellar is the only winery in Pennsylvania to make Tannat.  Ours is grown by Heringer Estates in Clarksburg, CA, in the Sacramento Valley
