Episode 28
October 26, 2023
From cycling accident to US Editor of Decanter Magazine, Clive Pursehouse joins us for a behind the scenes look at life as a wine critic. How does he go about researching a vintage? And how does that information translate into terminology and drinking windows? Why is it that a cold vintage in Bordeaux can have the total opposite effect as a cold vintage in Napa? And why can “bad vintages” actually produce incredible wines? Plus, with all that wine Clive tastes, he shares how he stays healthy as a wine critic.
