Episode 49 – Cline Ancient Vines Mourvèdre & Sonder Mourvèdre

More. Vey. Dra. Or is it… More. Ved? Ugh! Mourvèdre might be difficult to pronounce but it’s very easy to drink. And you know that profound feeling of realizing that everyone, including strangers that you pass in the street, has a life that is as complex as your own, which they are constantly living despite ones personal lack of awareness of it? THAT description comes up one of our featured producers this week, literally and figuratively. Sonder Wines! And along with a Cline Ancient Vines Mourvèdre, this is an episode that should have you ready to pour a glass of this unique juice, like right now! Also, we will reveal a little secret today that we’ve kept to ourselves for the past month AND Phil says a bad word.
