New Episode 🚨🎙️
This week, Daniel Posner sits down with Christopher Carpenter, the winemaker behind Lokoya, Cardinale, and Mount Brave, to talk 30+ years in Napa Valley, why wine has gotten so expensive, and whether a price correction is finally on the way.
From tariffs on French barrels to thousands of unpicked acres in Napa last harvest, Chris gives a rare insider look at what’s really happening in the industry and what it means for wine lovers.
Of course, it wouldn’t be Bottled Up without a little chaos: expect Jets vs. Bears pain, cold Guinness at an R.E.M. bar in Athens, and a $50 summer white blend that stole the show.
