Karen MacNeil wrote the WINE BIBLE in 2001, and since then it's gone on to sell a million copies, and been revised a couple of times. So, obviously, Karen is someone a LOT of people look to for knowledge about wine. It's "the bible" right? She and Mike talk about how Karen began her journey in wine, how she tastes particular wines, Mike's fascination with wine bottles and their shapes, and of course they do some tasting!
