The World, The Week, The Wine: A Toast To Burgundy

Imagine your footfalls falling on the same tiles as roman centurions. Imagine standing, arms wide and air chilly, in a room where soldiers of the French Resistance packed huddled together. Imagine history kept in kegs on a stand, resolute in the dark beneath the vineyard. Imagine Burgundy. Now add Bob Cutler.

In this episode of Cocktails With Friends, jet-lagged and jolly, Bob Cutler returns from a romp around Burgundy, France to fit in a very special guest: Justin Frazell of Craft Guild Beer of Maine. Between touring six vineyards in a week, dancing in the Beaune streets, and waltzing through the wine cellars of ancient sommeliers, Bob and Justin have boundless stories to tell… but only 10 minutes to share them in!

They also discuss the virtues of authenticity in wine, and how no amount of hype can replace good clean quality— the same, in turn, is true for travel. Good company and storied lands bring impeccable notes to the flavor of life. Just as good as the Premier Cru Pinot Noir the two share; A toast to Burgundy!

Cheers!
