Hollywood Uncorked Podcast

What better way to gussy up L.A.’s first sparkling wine event than with the vino-swilling freeloaders from Hollywood Uncorked? In this special live episode, Ben, Scott and Tom broadcast from the Hollywood Avalon during the inaugural Effervescence 2018, featuring champagnes and sparkling wines from across California and the world. As the guys sample the fares of Hillersden and Flying Goat Cellars, they interview the three finalists of Effervescence’s Best Sparkling Somm competition, talk to event organizer Jannika Pettersson about what it takes to pull off a major wine event in the heart of Hollywood, and sit down with top champagne expert Richard Juhlin to discuss how a “photographic” sense of smell led to his career as a professional taster.
