Mike checks in with Liquid Gold hero Darcy O’Neil, soda fountain historian and drinks master, who has announced a new venture making wine on the banks of Lake Erie in Ontario, Canada. Darcy’s new progressive grape-growing, wine-making venture will feature fungal-resistant grape varieties with a focus on limiting or completely omitting the use of pesticides and herbicides. They also discuss the future of wine regions and the impact global warming will have on grape varieties and where they can be grown. California looks to be in trouble, while Canada could be the next Bordeaux.
