Ep. 82: Mary Gorman-McAdams on Bordeaux, Terroir, and the Classification System
In this episode of the Vint Podcast, Brady and Billy discuss Bordeaux with Mary Gorman-McAdams, MW. Mary is a renowned educator and student of both Bordeaux and the sparkling wines of Champagne. Here, we ask Mary more in-depth questions about the meaning of "terroir" when assessing the wines and producers of Bordeaux, how the classification system came to be (and how it functions today), as well as her outlook on the 2022 EP campaign. Mary is a wealth of knowledge both of the region itself, along with its geography, climate, and history, but also of the many legendary families and smaller producers that make up the region.
Additionally, Billy and Brady announce the launch of Vint's online wine and spirits marketplace (www.vintmarketplace.com). We're excited to bring the world's most sought-after wines and spirits directly to you!
