In honor of both biddies being on the east coast – even if this pandemic has the recording apart – they touch base on the best known wine region out here, New York. New York is unique in the way that it can grow vitis vinifera grapes despite it’s colder climate, humid summers, and harsh winters but also the biddies get to introduce you to the world of cold hardy hybrid grapes.Â
