Episode 87 - Are Wine Bottles Too Big for the Modern Drinker?

In today's episode, we discuss how wineries are piling up for sale with few buyers stepping in, U.S. direct-to-consumer wine shipments suffer their worst decline on record, and a growing number of solo drinkers say the traditional 750ml bottle simply no longer fits modern drinking habits. We also feature Cordon of Santa Barbara in Solvang, the 2022 Bouches-du-Rhône Blanc "Baume Noire," and Bar Le Côte in Los Olivos where corkage is $25 per bottle with no limit.
