Local journalist Nicholas Day has a secret past.
Years ago, before he began contributing articles on the environment and food to Slate.com and other publications, Day (pictured with Mark Oppenheimer’s dog J.J.) worked at the largest wine store in the country. He studied his reds and whites, his French and Italian and Australian grapes, aspiring to be a Master of Wines.
In this sixth episode of Castaway, Day sits down with Mark Oppenheimer and sound engineer (and committed recreational wine drinker) Lee Faulkner to talk about wines, wine snobbery, and how even the greatest wine experts’ noses can occasionally fail them.
