Hi wine friends!
We are once again doing a deeper dive into history with a minisode on Pliny the elder.
Ever wonder what wine was considered the most beneficial to your health in Ancient Rome or why we don't still drink Falerian, well ... I might not have the answer to the last question BUT today is all things Roman wine history as we look at why Pliny the Elder was such a cool "guy".
I needed some help getting all my facts straight for this episode and I leaned on some good references:
The Oxford Companion to Wine, 4th Edition by Jancis Robinson

I also talk about the Russian River Brewing Company:
