Today’s episode is all about Romanian wine. And who better to talk about this than the owner of the largest Romanian Winery, Cramele Recas, responsible for more than 50% of all of Romania's wines that are exported. So, English born Philip Cox, is going to be taking us through the wine regions of this much lesser-known eastern European country. He'll be taking us on his own journey of how he ended up in Romania, the challenges he's had to take on, how to deal with adversity, how to think outside of the box, how to market to the right customer. We will, of course, be tasting and talking about one of the most famous indigenous grape varieties of Romania, Fetească regală, which means royal madam. We will discuss tourism in this beautiful country, wine making choices.
