Kiss the Frog: Ian Cauble Finding Great Wine, Falling Sales & Why France Bans Irrigation Pt. 4
Master Sommelier Ian Cauble joins host Forrest Kelly to talk about how he curates wine recommendations — tasting through hundreds of bottles so you don't have to. Ian also weighs in on the decline in wine sales among younger generations, why he sees a price correction coming, and what makes wine irreplaceable as a sensory and cultural experience. Plus, he shares a wine fact that almost nobody believes: it's actually illegal to water your vines in France. Ian explains his curation process at TheCaubleist.com — tasting roughly 1 in 10 wines he samples to find the best value and quality for consumers.
Why Ian's philosophy is simple: if you spent $35 on a bottle, it should bring real pleasure. Wine sales are declining, especially among younger generations — Ian shares his take on why. The case for a price correction in premium wine given today's economy. Why Ian believes wine is irreplaceable — the history, the stories, and the sensory experience behind every glass. Blind tasting as storytelling: how a single sip can tell you exactly where in the world a wine came from. The wine fact almost nobody believes: it is illegal to irrigate vineyards in France and Italy. How getting caught watering your vines in France could cost you your appellation designation for that vintage. A breakdown of France's nearly 500 AOCs and why the rules behind them matter to the consumer.
