Hinterland 2015 Les Etoiles – $43.00 – ****½ – In 2015 Hinterland got hit with a late frost and much of the crop was lost – so the bad news is there isn’t much of this wine for sale. The good news is that this is one of the best...
Michael and André sit down with sommelier and broadcaster Matt Cauz to taste through a bunch of wines that have crawled their way out of the cellar.
