Deep Dive Podcast Network

Sometimes things don't go as planned.

In this episode of Deep Dive Wine Acoustics, hosts Andy Tarnoff and the Dandy Warhols' Courtney Taylor-Taylor explore the intricacies of Barolo, the king of Italian wines, and its Nebbiolo grape. They discuss the strict regulations governing Barolo production, share personal anecdotes from their experiences in the Barolo region, and delve into the tasting process, including the use of wine tools and the pairing of wine with cheese and salami. The conversation also covers expert opinions and ratings on Barolo, highlighting the wine's flavor profiles and characteristics. The discussion transitions into the relationship between music and wine, exploring how both art forms can evoke emotions and memories. The conversation delves into the intricacies of song structure, live performances, and the role of various instruments, including the hand-clap and the harmonica. But, it goes downhill when Andy realizes his black truffle oil salami ruined the taste of this Albe Barolo. Then Courtney's phone dies. And finally, Courtney informs Andy they weren't drinking the same vintage. Oops.

Call this one a mulligan.
