The Wine Guys: Grape Escapes
I Can Taste the Cow
S1 E5:
Set in idyllic Tuscany, Italy, we grasp the ideal altitude for growing grapes at the Tenuta Buon Tempo winery – 250 metres above sea level. Michael and Charlie enjoy a classic beef tartare for dinner, paired with an excellent Brunello wine barreled in French oak. La Cignozza’s rustic family-operated winery is next, where The Wine Guys visit all the resident cats, geese, cows and other critters. They chow down on a duck raised right there on the farm, swirl and sip some Chianti and Sangiovese wine, and drool over a homemade tiramisu for dessert. Michael and Charlie are seduced by a Brunello Reserve. They struggle with the decision to bid on it, concerned that it will be too expensive for their market.
