It’s the exciting conclusion of our whopping, 2-part True Crime podcast! Christine reveals some skeletons that should probably be left in the family closet. If you’ll recall, the Greek Merlot we tried to pair with the last episode would make an elephant barf. So, we switched to the moonshine of Christine’s people. It’s called Raki, a grappa-like drink that’ll fry your nose hairs but make you dance like Zorba. It’s a (totally authentic) True Crime podcast, and it’s the last time you’ll hear JT’s Keith Morrison impersonation!

The 2016 Altocedro Gran Riserva Malbec es muy loco, but in all the good ways. To start, Altocedro harvests from 70-year-old vines from a 107-year-old vineyard. Not unusual, especially for Mendoza malbec. BUT, then they take the harvested Malbec in whole clusters and barrel co-ferment with 4% Semillon in French oak.
