23. Jonathan Horvath Brings Cabernet to Thanksgiving Dinner

Jonathan Horvath joins me to pick the perfect Thanksgiving Cabernet. And by perfect I mean “cheapest you can get away with.”

Can you bring a bottle of Trader Joe’s Petit Reserve or do you need to upgrade to Belle Roche? Will anyone even be able to tell the difference? You’ll be thankful you know the answers to these questions (and more) after listening to this very special holiday episode.
