424: Poisoned Vines: France’s Most Celebrated Vineyard is Attacked by Eco-Terrorism

America's Test Kitchen Radio | Apr 8, 2016
In 2010, a father-son crime duo attempted to poison the vines of La Romanée-Conti, the vineyard that produces Burgundy’s finest and most expensive wines. This week we speak with Maximillian Potter, the author who chronicled this bizarre true crime story in his book “Shadows in the Vineyard: The True Story Of The Plot To Poison The World’s Greatest Wine.” We’ll taste balsamic vinegar, and we’ll taste wine with expert Stephen Meuse. Then we’ll head into the test kitchen to learn the best way to roast peppers on the grill. And of course, we’ll be taking your calls to answer all of your cooking questions.
