127 - Tasting Massican Sauvignon Blanc & Colter’s Creek Cabernet Franc

In todays episode, Shelley and Phil taste a wonderful Sauvignon Blanc from Massican, who ONLY produces white wines in Napa (and is killing it!), along with a outstanding Cabernet Franc from Idaho’s Colter’s Creek. Both wines feature grapes found in Bordeaux. But there are changes coming in Bordeaux and Shelley & Phil talk about those changes. There are also changes coming in the wine world: Wine and Web3 have joined forces through Cuvée Collective and the result is #WineNFT’s! Massican is the second winery NFT, just dropped this week! #HappyFriday! #ItsWineTime! #Cheersing

• 2021 Massican Sauvignon Blanc (Not available)
• 2019 Colters Creek Cabernet Franc ($39 at Coeur D’alene FRESH Wine Bar)

The Cuvée Collective Wine Word of the Week -   Horizontal vs Vertical tastings

A vertical tasting is the same wine from different years, typically from the same producer. A horizontal tasting option most common is to choose a single vintage and compare wines from different estates or wineries in a region.
