Episode 66,   May 19, 2023, 07:00 AM

Part 5 of our Court of Master Sommeliers Curriculum miniseries

Has Jamie successfully demonstrated the value of the deductive tasting method? And, more importantly, has he convinced Scott that the French appellation system isn’t so bad? Is La Jetée a fatalistic bummer or a beautiful romance? And why was Scott worried his co-host wouldn’t like this paradoxical time travel short? Return to the past with a glass in hand as you press play on our latest episode!
